My vit d has been measured several times throughout the last few years. It was very low the whole time. Modest attempts to raise it didn't do much. It's sort of like trying to turn the titanic. Slow. Anyway, at 6 months of doing 5000iu per day, I am now in normal range.
Well, disclaimer, I do not trust that word normal or the word range, because both are subjective and based on general population trends not based on individual patients.
I do not believe vit d by itself or as a primary weapon is going to be all that helpful. It will be for some, everything is, but for the most part probably not. It is however a crucial link in the chain. If that link is broken, a whole bunch of other links break too.
I heard that merely 10 to 20 minutes of sun on the skin is all it takes to get the vit d we need? Yes? No? Anyone know? I think the only way to really know is to measure it. It's an easy test.
Infection is the primary cause. imo I learned that from my docs but didn't believe them. I learned in on patient blogs. I didn't believe them. I read it in magazines. I didn't believe them.
Ho hum. Learned the hard way I did.
