Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hi there, Sorry my mold affected brain couldn't grasp all the info in the article[?]? I have a hard time disseminating information any more. My nutritionist has put me on Vitamin D as mine was very low, should I continue taking it? I have MCS and problems with my autonomic nervous system. Thank you, .

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm not a doctor but the sun is the best way to get your D but if you can't for some reason get it the natural way then supplements are okay if you can tolerate it and it doesn't interfere with any illness that D would make worse...
