Ive been reading up on this the last few days. Some of what ive read is how the US has created the fictitious D3 overdose to keep people going to doctors and lining big pharma’s pockets. A doctor in Brazil claims he has reversed damage from MS and has the mri’s to prove it. Curious is anyone on here has experimented with this?

if it's a conspiracy, it has to be true. Why is everybody so gullible?? Everybody wants to go to that powerhouse of medicine, Brazil, for their incredible medical care.

You get vitamin d naturally from sun exposure. So I less you have extremely sensitive skin and can't go outside, most people probably dont need supplemental D

Except if you live where you don't get much sun for part of the year!

In winter time people don't get near as much sun as they stay indoors more. Thus, take the supplement.

Well the country sure jumped on board with a vaccine that people are finally getting around to blaming for a lot of death. Unless you think thats a conspiracy too? Im trusting md’s less and less as i deal with them more.

I just popped 2 of em. Take 1 one tomorrow.

Eat a healthy, balanced diet. All things in moderation. Don't listen to one doctor in Brazil. We have our own quacks right here.

When I say high dose, Im talking 70-100k iu. An amount many md’s claim is harmful.

Your Dr. can check your vitamin D when you do labwork. I have mine checked every time and it will tell you if you need to take a supplement or not. Getting to much vitamin D can cause other issues so I would discuss it with your dr. after you see how your vitamin D levels are.

Great advice. I get a full blood panel at least once a year.

You still following the advice of the worlds biggest quack Dr??? Faucci???

I have MS and my doctor has me on vitamin D3. Told him I spend a lot of time outside so why do I need to take it. He's reply was we can't get enough from the sun.

I live in Texas, work in a hay field and I was still low on Vitamin D. I like the bottles mixed with K2, about 10 drops.

This is the right advice.

Most Dr's now agree that 10,000 IU's per day is not excessive. Most all suggest at least 5,ooo per day. Nobody can get enough Vit D from sun exposure.

Blood testing is a good idea if you are concerned. You will need to take a lot of Vit D to overdose.

Vit D works much better when in conjunction with K2. Many companies offer it in that form.

This!

Doesn’t matter what your diet is or how much sun you get. You MAY still have low vitamin D. Simple blood test will show if you are low, normal or high. This blood test can be run when you have other tests, so no additional needles.

If you do take vitamin D you need to have it checked regularly (1-4 times per year). Most drugs are metabolized through the liver or kidneys and excessive levels are flushed out of the body. Not vitamin D. Any excess is stored in your body fat, too much can lead to vitamin D toxicity, which carries its own complications and can be serious.

Also, vitamin D levels fluctuate slowly, so any benefits will happen over time.

My wife has MS and always test extremely low in Vit D, even on prescription strength D it never gets to the "normal" level... blood tests will tell but you usually have to request they add it to the other blood tests.
I don't know how much is too much, I do know the approved levels have been increased by the FDA

Fibro and other issues. My Dr tests my d3 levels I was so low put me on rx then once it brought it up put me on a high dose of d3 everyday indefinitely. Now my d3 are barely in range but in normal range.

I used to take 10,000 IU, I now take 20,000. two pills.
I experimented with them and found out I feel better with 20,000 than 10,000 during the winter, In summer I back off to 10,000

Here in Alaska, we dont get much sun, and I have read that people living on tropical islands still had low Vitamin D levels. Most people dont walk around naked to get the full benefit of the sun.

Wearing sunglasses can also block it.
