The Miraculous Results Of Extremely High Doses Of The Sunshine Hormone Vitamin D3 My Experiment With Huge Doses Of D3 From 25,000 To 50,000 To 100,000 Iu A Day Over A 1 Year Period

UPDATE 5/13/17 - back to my energy like I was in 2005. (That's not a typo, I do mean 2005 and not 2015.) Drinking one cup of coffee in the morning, not 4 cups throughout the day. However, I am going to switch to decaf as I love the flavor, and sometimes like second cup simply for the flavor craving. I used to always have a cup of decaf in the evenings after work. I love the flavor, don't want to be kept awake past bedtime! My big left toenail is growing back to normal. What took it 9 months of damaged growth has taken 5 weeks of megadosing to grow 1/3 in already. In fact, the D3/K2 combo are both helping my nails grow so fast. I don't get my D-levels checked until July (after 12 weeks of D2 therapy at 50,000, was what I was supposed to do.) I have energy in the evenings to go out and do yard work after I am off work. I have less appetite now as well. I am down to 30,000 iu per day. I may eventually lower this in the future, or stick with this amount. Bottom line, megadoing worked to help me achieve in 2-3 weeks (5 mile hike in 2 weeks, less coffee in 3 weeks) what was supposed to be 12 weeks and then a follow-up. I've felt no ill effects from megadosing. I kept a journal, listened to my body, and reduced the D3 from 100K to 30K when I had felt 100% whole.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I'm megadosing. More on that. Excellent read. Highly recommended if you trust your own instinct to bring healing to your body. Jeff jam-packs this book with research. I don't mind what others considered "disorganized" writing. I do research and writing all my life. So Jeff's writing makes a lot of sense to me. Seeing updated notes in his "research journal" is what true research looks like. You get to see his updates so you know he did his research. I prefer to see his 'a-ha!" moments so I can understand his journey. The book does flow like a conversation with a friend who is excited to share a great healing secret. Nice refreshers with his updates that have encouraged me to keep my own journal as I recover from level 16 of Vitamin D deficiency. I'm already having my own 'a-ha!' moments and not even two weeks in. I am using Vitamin K-2 (both K2-MK4 and K2-MK7) and magnesium. With my daily journal, I saw how I got worse before I got better - but just for a few days. I was daily doing at 30,000 or 20,000 and I even skipped a day. My body became more sluggish and I had uncontrollable nap crashes - the same symptoms I had prior to seeking help. (Weight gain, too.) By the 6th day of taking D3, I had my K2 and magnesium to add. In the next seven days, I only had one nap crash, which I think was related to when I take the K2. Still figuring that one out in my daily journal.) I have some weakness later in the evenings, but my body is already doing great in the mornings. After skipping my dose five days in, I went to 30K, then 50K, then 70K, and then decided to go at 100K for a few weeks before lowering it down. I have no side effects. The one side effect that I did, I learned from my journal it was too much magnesium. My colon cleared itself out the next morning, no stomach pains, just an inadvertent colon cleansing. I cut back on my magnesium, problem solved. I'm two weeks in today with megadosing. Just skipped one day of dosing five days in, and reading my journal, that was my worst day for naps and fatigue.I also have 50% bone loss in my teeth, but no cavities since 1992 and only one root canal. Well, I can't wait to tell my dentists about the cause of this, having teeth of a 70-year old when I am in my low 40s. It'd be interesting to see if some of this repairs itself over the years. No worries if not, as I know the Vitamin D will stop it from getting worse. My left large toe nail has been twice removed. Not a fungus - it tested negative for that. It grows, dies off, then new growth pushes it, but it stops growing and I never have to trim this nail. Podiatrist stumped over the cause for second growth. First growth pattern was from an old injury. Second growth pattern same as the first, which confused him and he said my toe nail had a trauma to it again to kill it at the root and make a new one grow. Will - after two removals, he said if it grew back a third time like that, he'd have to remove it and burn off the roots so it never grew back again. Two weeks today on megadosing, and this ugly toe nail is looking better, healthier. I'll keep watching to see what happens. But I want to say, megadosing appears to very well be a preventative technique so I can keep my toe nail, and not lose it forever.So far, megadosing is helping me get my life back! You can see from my other reviews, I am one who loves to be physically active. Just check out my review of my bowflex for proof! I should have one of a speed bag wall mount as well. For someone who is anti-couch potato for her personal lifestyle, megadosing is helping me get my life back, sooner. I will cut back my daily dosing. I choose to megadose because it's late April, in the best time of year is starting to be having fun with my dogs outdoors - and now I have the energy! I was not going to waste another 3-6 months of my life to get better and a slow overly-cautious pace.You will do yourself a favor to read a few other books on Vitamin D. Not to eliminate megadosing. Read up about it to learn how important Vitamin D is as the cure for some many things! It even helps depression. I have no interest in seeing people take mental drugs for depression when the sunshine gives us the natural cure, or doing on D3 (10,000/day is safe if you just to that.) For others, with more serious illnesses, megadosing on 50,000/day is safe for 2-4 weeks. Just read up on the reviews of some of the D3 supplements offering 50,000, or the liquid form. Your life is worth it. Please - keep a journal! It's an individual healing method, so you have to tailor it for yourself. Educate yourself on a few books for a better well-rounded understanding. Your example might save someone else from getting ill for a lack of Vitamin D. Do incorporate K2 and magnesium. Very important. I'm reading books on that as well, but have learned of the importance from Jeff's book and from joining an online forum (not about Jeff's book) with other members who had the deficiency, or use newbies who have it, and share stories of how we got better, and share valuable information of what to do.Note - so far, no bone aches and pain from healing with megadosing - but for this. Extremely sore forearms the first 10 days. I used to have carpal tunnel-like pains, never diagnosed, but maybe the Vitamin D targeted that area, my third toe nail growing back, and my daily bouts with major fatigue. I will update as time goes on.Be your own advocate for your health. Listen to your body as you do. Keep that journal. It's the best way to gauge your own healing. Read the testimonials here, and you'll see Jeff is on to something!

I'm not sure if the author reads the reviews, but I bought the kindle version in 2013 and was wondering does the book automatically update? Thanks. Great book by the way. I upped my levels to 30,000 IU and have terrible insomnia. I then read in his other book that vit d can eat magnesium.. So dropped vit d to 10,000 and will get magnesium back up or higher? I take 500 mg. Also taking k2. But my big question is does the book update! TY

I have taken various supplements over the years. I am 63 years of age and have dealt with body pain in one form or another for over 42. All due to a serious traffic accident in 1972. I suffered several broken bones and a lot of tissue trauma. I have trigger points like nobody's business. You learn to deal with almost constant pain. My motto became, "A day without pain is a good day." On September 23rd of 2015 (4months ago at this writing) my two big dogs pulled me off the front steps. Long story short I ended up with a rod in my right femur. At the same time they removed some old hardware from the accident in1972.My problem is the fracture isn't healing like the ortho doc thinks it should be and is already thinking more surgery. The doc sent me out for blood tests. My D3 level was 44. He made me nervous with all of the talk of more surgery so... I took 8000 IU of D3 before I went in for the test... opps. The doc says 44 is a normal level. Whether I bumped it up artificially or not... 44 sounds like it's not working for me.So I have started out with 8000 IU. Today I received my Puritan Pride brand of D3 and K2. I took 30000 IU with 3000 mcg of K2.I will post any successes as I go along. I will most likely bump it up to 50000 IU next week if I don't die in my sleep from the 30000 IU ;)We are going to Mexico for 10 days so that should increase it even more, since I plan on getting a lot of sun while we are there. I'm interested to see if I get a sunburn since I'm taking a good amount of D3.The information in this book good, I am not a fan of the writing style. It really jumps around. However, I doubt you will find this much great information in one place anywhere else.I would have given 5 stars except for the way the information is organized (or not organized in this case) .... still great information. Read the book.3/4/14Update: I am currently taking 70,000 IU daily. I am also taking 7,000 mcg of K2 along with Vit's A & E. I also read the book suggested for K2. I haven't noticed too much change over all in the fractured femur re-knitting, although there is some minimal bone growth beginning. I do think the pain in my right shoulder joint is lessening (when I fell and broke the femur I jammed up my shoulder trying to break my fall). I also believe my immune system is improving. Two of my family members recently had a bout of the stomach flu that was going around and I did not.Going with the suggested dose ratio of 1,000 mcgs of K2 to every 10,000 IU's of D3 I find I'm consuming a lot of K2. I have purchased it at Puritan's Pride, our local health food stores, and have recently purchased 4 bottles of K2 (500 mcg for each tablet) from Vitacost (you can google them for the web addy). Our local health food store has it from Country Life. I recently bought a single bottle of 60 tablets from them at $25. I bought the same Country Life product at just over $12 a bottle (which included $4 shipping). So they will definitely have my K2 business from now on.On another note: According to what I read in the K2 book suggested you need to be taking Vit A, too! D3, K2, and A form a triangle of support for each other. You must take all three of them together. There was also mention of Vit E but did not give any specifics. I added it just to be on the good side.I am waiting for my recent blood work results to see what my current level of D3 is in my blood.Update: I received my blood test results today. Initially when I was tested it came back at 44.0 ng/ml. My recent test has me at 147.0 ng/ml. I will be cutting down a bit to reach and maintain 100.0 ng/ml. I noticed this last week in the mirror the significant reduction in the size of a bony bump on my forehead. It has been there for at least 30 years. It is at least 1/2 the size that it was, it seems to be reducing a bit everyday. I also have noticed my banged up right shoulder joint is less painful with rotation movement.I came across this from a study the Cleveland Clinic had done: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient, so it's important to take it with the largest meal of the day.A Cleveland Clinic Foundation study showed that when people take vitamin D with the largest meal of the day, blood levels increase over 50% compared to taking vitamin D on an empty stomach or with a light meal.11It is thus critical to not only take enough vitamin D, but to also take it with the meal that contains the most fat to ensure maximum absorption.I do find it disturbing that there are so many potential health benefits from taking D3/K2 and our medical profession is not all over it.
