http://homefirst.com/ "We have a fairly large practice. We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we've taken care of over the years, and I don't think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines," said Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, Homefirst's medical director who founded the practice in 1973. Homefirst doctors have delivered more than 15,000 babies at home, and thousands of them have never been vaccinated.

All you people arguing about vitamin D. CLUELESS. You can take synthetic D and measure it in the blood. Thats it. It does nothing. However get sunshine, eat raw egg yolks from free range-drug free hens and that vitamin D will do something. You can eat salmon but because radiation is building the food chain from fukashima I would avoid it. Those are your three choices for vitamin D. I stick to raw egg yolks @5 a day and full body tanning.

5-15,000 IU of D is what's normally given for deficiency. You need D if you want your immune system to work and you don't want cancer or osteoporosis.
I'm pretty sure cave men didn't shield themselves from the sun with sunscreen...but most people do and they don't get any vitamin d. The crap they put in milk is not the kind you absorb. D2 is made using radiation. Take D3.

@tungsten33 Even if you accept Null's version of the story, 2k IU of Vitamin D is well above the recommended daily amount and even then is still 5x-100x less than the amount that Mayer is recommending.
You should check your sources too; the Vitamin D Council is just something made up by the quack doctor John Cannell (who believes vitamin D is a panacea that can be used as a replacement for vaccines, cures cancer as well as a number of diseases, etc) to peddle his theories.

Lame. Gary Null was taking 2,000,000 IU a day thanks to screw up by supplement manufacturer. It was supposed to be 2,000 IU a day. He recovered. Quit with misleading BS like that.

@ArcanaKnight IOM totally ignored all the evidences put out by 14 Vitamin D experts.
How about you do actual research on pubmed? Plenty of studies...
Nice try!

Gary null took millions iu of vitamin d a day due to screw up by supplement manufacture. Quit with misleading bs.

@arcanaknight, um yes there are actual studies showing higher amount of vitamin d are beneficial. iOM ignored all vitamin d experts. IOM is useless. You didn't even do a proper research. Go to vitamin d council website and look through research on the left side.

While there are negative health effects for being deficient in a particular vitamin, there is no evidence to show that taking more than is needed is beneficial to one's health because people are either deficient or sufficient in a particular vitamin; super-loading on vitamins will at best just have the excess expelled from our systems along with the rest of the waste (resulting in vitamin-rich urine), and at worst kill us as it nearly did to Gary Null.

@tungsten33 First of all, Mayer's Vit D recommendations are way off. The IOM recently released a report showing that not only are many less people deficient than previously estimated, but that guidelines like Mayer's are way off. Most people only need 400-800 UI a day with the upper limit set at 4,000; Mayer recommends 10k a day for adults and even more at the first signs of flu. Super-loading supplements has no beneficial effect (it can even have a detrimental one if dosage is high enough).

Go to home first website and you will see that the doctor put a huge emphasis on proper vitamin D dosage. That would explain why autism rate is such low. Go to vitamin D council and check out its autism section. It will explain the link between autism and vitamin D. Most doctors are unaware of it because they were not taught vitamin D in such great detail. Now, who's the hypocrite? You are for not doing research. Have a good day.
