Q. I have a vitamin D deficiency and have been prescribed 50,000 units of vitamin D twice a week. Will there be any immediate effects when I start taking it? Or do you just start to feel better gradually?
A. The prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol ). As warned by the National Institute of Health -
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17023693
Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) over the counter and the upper limits are extremely high. Current recommendations are for 35iu per pound - a 150# person needs minimum of 5250iu per day & the rda is 400iu. This amount is for minimal needs and does not account for depleted stores. March is when stores are at their lowest.
This is the cheapest D3 I've found - $10 for 1,800,000iu & would be best for high dosage use. I recommend using this with saturated fats to maximize absorption into the body structure.

This is the form I recommend but can be expensive at high doses, it includes saturated fat as a base.

Vitamin D3 is not a vitamin at all but a necessary hormone that effects the immune system & nearly every aspect of health. Having low Vitamin D levels greatly increases risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, MS & being deficient can create or greatly exacerbate health problems.
Vitamin D3 deficiency is becoming an epidemic. U.S. RDA are much too low. It is possible that upper atmosphere pollution is blocking the needed UVB light from the sun.
I have Fibromyalgia -Vitamin D3 supplementation has cleared the constant muscle pain. I did high levels for 3 weeks & was pain free. I knocked the dose down to 2000iu's a day & a week later the pain was back. After restarting high levels, the pain is managed again after 3 days.
I personally did 35,000iu per day for 2 months trying to refill my stores. It is highly recommended that you have your vit.D levels tested but my research shows toxicity only at outrageous, long term levels.
I originally did B12 injections daily for a couple of years & then I tried guaifenesin (Dr.St.Amand's protocol) for 10 years but discovered vit.D3 supplementation only recently & that has worked better than anything else!
I also highly recommend a low carb way of eating to allow the body to regenerate rather than degenerate.

Dr. Joe Prendergast, an endocrinologist /diabetologist has managed over 1500 diabetic patients and, in the last decade, not one of his patients has had a stroke or heart attack. Only one has even been hospitalized! His secret�50,000 units of Vitamin D3 daily. Dr. Joe further reports:
* Reversal of advanced coronary disease
* Reversal of advanced lung disease, avoiding a lung transplant!
* Cure of multiple sclerosis
* Cure of amotrophic lateral sclerosis
* Regression of rheumatoid arthritis
* Improvement in allergies
* Control of many cancers including prostate, breast, colon, brain tumors, leukemia, myeloma, etc
* Reversal of osteoporosis
* Prevention of influenza
* Cure of depression and many other mental disorders
* Hashimoto�s hyperthyroidism
In summary, the evidence for safety and remarkable efficacy of Vitamin D3 suggests that virtually ALL adults should probably take 50,000 units of D3 daily. This is certainly true for those with virtually any illness.

A. Apparently you don't get outside much. If you get at least 15 minutes of sunlight on exposed portions of your skin daily - then you would not have a problem with Vitamin D deficiency. Sitting at a computer a lot or playing video games plus being in school all day does not give you much time to get sunshine. You need to start taking walks or bike riding or roller blading or skateboarding every day. Don't stop taking your Vitamin d3 the doctor told you to take.
What is the best vitamins for a 23 yr old woman to take? I have a Vitamin D deficiency called Rickets?
Q. I have rickets (a vitamin D deficiency). I need a vitmain that can provide me with Vitamin C,D, potassium, calcium all other major essentials that a woman needs. Also, what about cod liver fish oil, is it any good at treating rickets or vitamin D deficiencies? What about carnation milk in the can is it good for calcium and bones?
A. If you have rickets, you should be under the care of a physician. Depending on your body weight, you should be taking a supplement around 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day. Generally, it's 1000 IU per 25 lbs of body weight.
