Vitamin D council critique of latest Vitamin D recommendations
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:
