> I have previously observed that if all North Americans took 4000-10000

> IU of vitamin D per day, It would eliminate or greatly reduce the need

> for about 8 categories of drugs, and especially radically alter the

> field of oncology. It could also greatly reduce hospitalizations.

> Last month I spoke with a family practice physician in Texas who began

> ordering vitamin D tests on all her patients. She only found 2 out of

> about 300 with normal levels (note that " normal " is not a lab normal,

> and is about 1/2 of what a human pursuing their occupation with

> noontime sun exposure has). She began giving the previous upper safe

> limit of 2000IU, but had trouble getting patients into the normal

> level even with that. So she read up more on the literature and

> started giving most of her patients 4000-5000IU. She said that at the

> end of 18 months or so, her hospitalization rate for all causes had

> declined by 75%.

> Routine supplementation with D, or exposure to noontime sun without

> sunblock when the sun is higher than 45 degrees in the sky could

> literally " bring down the machine " of the medical establishment.

> Perhaps that has something to do with why the Food and Nutrition Board

> ignored the recommendations of all 14 testifying vitamin D experts

> when they issued their latest recommendations. the only ray of light

> is that they raised the official " upper safe limit " to 4000IU/day.

> Even this, though helpful for many people, is not sufficient for many

> catagories of patients, including the obese or pregnant or lactating

> moms, per published research. See:
