Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Here in western WA, it is so dark most of the year, that I was really interested in this idea. The Cal/Mag liquid I bought has only 400 IU of Vitamin D. So when you say high dose, are you talking 2,000 IU and over? What is considered high dose?

If you are considering high dose vitamin D, I would recommend to check your child's levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood. Furthermore, early spring, late fall, or raining season is probably a better timing to do high dose vitamin D loading. > > Limin > > > > From: smiths4him > Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 07:29 > To: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism > Subject: Vitamin D3 > > > > > > Limin- I saw an old post of yours from March on the MB12Valtrex group about Vitamin D3. > > Did you end up trying it?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 About a month ago, Mercola.com had some interesting info on Vit D3. If you get sun exposure you need to only use soap in the private areas of the body and under armpits. The research is Vit D takes 48 hrs to absorb into the skin, and when you bath with soap - your washing it off the oils containing Vit D3. Maybe this is why people in really sunny areas have low levels - with lots of sun exposure.
