A acquaintance of mine mistakenly took daily a prescription of 10,000 IU’s of vitamin D per day instead of per week like instructed and got very sick. Taking higher amounts than that would have to have some kind of strategy I would think to not get sick @Zack-Vegas
@Cari It’s not surprising that adverse effects could happen when someone takes 7x the dose of anything prescribed by their doctor. The amount does sound low for a prescription of Vitamin D, I’ve usually heard doctors start at 50,000 IU of D2 a week. Also, I’ve heard D2 can have issues at lower concentrations than D3 does, which is the form in most supplements.
I was not recommending anyone take the doses used in the Coimbra protocol, as those doses are used for very serious conditions. Still, some of the recoveries are dramatic, like the regimentation of those who have vitiligo. The point I was making was the Vitamin D has beneficial effects independent of sun exposure, and even in very high does that couldn’t be gotten from sun exposure alone.
Lastly, there is that book by Jeff Bowles, where he experimented with very high doses of D3 (anywhere from 25,000-100,000 IU a day), and claimed to see only benefits, when balancing it out with K2 (he used 1mg of K2 for every 10,000 IU of D3). So it would seem that some people can take fairly high doses and not have issues, at least in regards to the D3 form.
