It's very high. I would dismiss it except Dr Shealy is a highly respected open minded alternative therapist. One concern is upsetting calcium metabolism with ensuing osteoporosis. Do you have any thoughts on his suggestions? Thanks, Alan Norm Shealy has been recommending 50,000iu vitamin D for autoimmune disorders. It’s very high.

This is in Vancouver, B.C. Almost all were low. I have told all to supplement with at least 2000IU/day and have noticed that PSA levels in older men are dropping.

Although Barbara said she takes 4000mg pd she means 4000iu/d
1000iu= 25mcg
so 1mg= 1000mcg=40,000iu (prolonged use at this level causes hypercalcemia and other adverse events)
So 4000mg would be toxic.
