Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Dr. JM as well as list mates: I TOTALLY AGREE wiht everything in this article. I also think in our case that monitoring the level can be useful. Em is currently taking 8000 IU a day.( she wieghts just 50lbs) We get sooo little sun this time of year. In the summer I give her much less, between 2000-4000 IU a day. Her Levels are " just " 66... which now from this lastest Cannell article, seems pretty Ideal. I had been shooting for a level of 80, due to her immune system and health issues. My friends( of supposedly nureotypical kids) all joke that I am the " lead Diva " Becasue I know so much about lead poisoning, and now they laugh because I sing the praises of Vitamin D, but it did truly change our lives. By the way, that includes my life as well. I used to get really, umm, I guess it would be depressed in the winter ( which by the way in Maine lasts FOREVER!), but most significantly craving warm weather and sunshine. seasonal affective lights did NOTHING. I started taking vit. D and that ALL changed. It was really amazing. I know I am preaching to the chior, but thought I would share. Thanks so much for posting Dr. JM!!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 My Vit D was checked and it was 18 and our daughter's was 25. We were told that I needed to supplement but our daughter was fine (within limits). I certainly thought the numbers were low but the doctor's didn't seem very concerned. Well, mine was a little but our daughter's doctor didn't bat an eye. Our daughter is 16, autism, epilepsy and delayed puberty.
