Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 All sites do not warn of amounts of D-3 over 1,000 I.U.s but in the past many did. There are big changes in thinking but still the advice to get tested regularly when on huge amounts makes sense. I know people prescribed 50,000 I.U.s a day without any apparent ill-effects. Joe C.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I know my local health food store recommends 50,000 vit D3 to get levels up but I don't think its for a long period. I think you need to test your level first to see where you are at, then retest after using the 50,000. There have been some good articles in life extension magazine-i think you can read them at their website. Also www.naturalnews.com talks a lot about vitamin D3. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: [ ] High dose Vitamin D3 Hi Robin, I have been on 5 000 IU for almost 4 months with no ill effects. 50 000 IU sounds out of whack though. All sites dealing with vitamin D intake dosage I have been through warn about an excess, which is anything over 1 000 IU. I would do much more real research into D if I were you before taking anything near 50 000 IU. With kind regards, Slavek. robinji2002 wrote: > > > > Has anyone used 50,000 units of vitamin D3 on a regular basis to stop > cancer as recommended by Dr Norm Sealey ? > > Be well > Robin > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Most sites I've read recommend a daily intake of at least 1000 IU. I've also read that you don't have to worry about toxicity until you get to a daily dose of 10,000 IU. > > > > > > > > Has anyone used 50,000 units of vitamin D3 on a regular basis to stop > > cancer as recommended by Dr Norm Sealey ? > > > > Be well > > Robin > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 ADD in Iodine 12 mg. A blood test could show your numbers. Dennis I did 50 000 for 30 days - didn't do a thing, neither good nor bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am in mostly sunny South Florida with a lot of exposure to the sun and even after actually sunbathing my numbers were low. Originally, before actually sunbathing, they were very low and are still not sufficient after almost full body exposure. Some of us do not absorb as much and some because of skin color and others because of age. Get tested and determine from that. Additionally it has been suggested that showering immediately after sun exposure, which most probably do, washes off the oils that actually create the D-3 in our bodies. Supposedly it take 48 hours for the conversion to fully take place. Regardless of all of the suggestions, some do not have sufficient D-3 levels. Why guess.........test. Make it a part of the regular Blood-work. Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I was using 45,000 units a day up until recently. Bill interviewed a doctor on his radio show a couple of weeks ago and the recommendation was around 30,000. I dropped down to that and joined a vitamin D study group for $40. Its a 5 yr. study and they test you twice a year for $40. My husband went to a regular doctor for this test and it was $232. My test kit just came in the mail so I'll do it soon.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 There are some other things you can take to increase absorption of vitamin d, either from D3 suppliments or the sun: Magnesium (preferrabley from nuts/seeds sunflower, sesame seeds etc) Zinc (15 mg per day or so) Vitamin K (spinach in your salads 3-4 times a week?) Some people do need more than others, as factors include skin color, body fat levels (body fat stored vitamin d so you need more of it to be effective), and your body's ability to absorb D (see known factors above as well as digestional issues). Also, as mentioned, don't wash off what the sun provides! good luck getting your levels up!
