We have the " better in the sun " thing. I think it is a combo for us

though. Salt air and sun. I worry about the ability of my son, to

handle extra D only because he is little. Speaking of which, I better

go take my d pills:)

environment of winter that affects him but I have been unable to

ferrit out the offensive culprit.

I think he has the D but due to lack of sun he is unable to use it

all and it clogs up his liver and system. I swear that is what the

deal is with .

Thanks for the link....

The thing is, I recently stopped supplementing vitamin D3 for Mark as his tests

show extremely high serum levels in his system? Odd, right? We did some more

testing on D levels so I am going to wait to see what his doc advises. It would

make sense for him to need D3 as we live in Northern Alberta..... pretty much at

the top of the world and get very little sunshine in the winter months.

So, why are his levels through the roof?

The kid's systems remain a mystery to me.... hopefully we will figure it all out

soon. I go back to the doctor next week for the 'next step' of my plan.

Have you looked into supplementing Vitamin D3 for Mark? The fact that

he does so much better " in the sun " but less better at home in the

winter months (much less sun exposure in general) suggests lowered

Vitamin D levels. People who live further north or in less sunny

climates have even more issues.
