Re: Vitamin D Test Results
R.B.! Good to see you back. Did you finish your book?
I think it was you who posted those articles from UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, a year or so ago. They say for combatting cancer, Vit D levels of 90 are good. Mine was 55 at the end of last summer, which I thought was good, but my MD said it could be higher. It was 74 this spring, after I took DDrops by Carlson all winter. I took 4000-6000 i.u./day. A couple drops on food - easy and cheap. Dr. Mercola says to take 5000 i.u. Toxicity is virtually impossible, in spite of an oft-repeated warning from the "old days." You can take 30,000 i.u./day for 6 months straight without toxicity (but start with 2000 or 5000!)
Vit D is good for bones and almost everything, and those cancer docs figured out that cancer's very first step - dissociation - can't start with adequate Vit D levels.
It seems like the new take on Vitamin D is very important! Thanks to RB for posting, back when!
