Dr Mercola I am following you vitamin d advice and its really helping my health. I take 10000 iu a day its great, no infection. I have a question regarding my sister who is pregnant and she is also take 10000 iu/day. I have read somewhere recently regarding placental calcification and high dose vitamin d3. Is there any validity to my fear? Would greatly appreciate your comment on that. Thanks.

[mercola]

That is a high dose and would be best if you were on a 3-400 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK7)

I was taking D3 before I went vegan but now I take 2400IU D2 daily-- is this spray vegan? Or do I just need more sunlight? Thank you!

[mercola]

ALl D2 is vegan. Avoid D2 like the plague. You only want D3

I've come to the conclusion that our government doesn't care about our health.

I understand that our bodies generate Vitamin D from Sun exposure. As our body tans it self regulates the optimal amount of Vitamin D it generates.

The CosmeticsDatabase indicates that 99% of sunscreens are ointments containing cancer causing ingredients. Blocking UVA and UVB light will also prevent your body from generating the Vitamine D it requires to fight cancer.

Our government websites claim that "the Sun causes cancer" and endorses using sunscreen. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Dr Mercola has become my virtual Doctor for life.

I have learned from this man in just a couple fo weeks more than I have in the last 40+ years and it is all free except for the internet connection. Really wonderful. I am really happy he tries to be objective without elevating Doctors to the "saint" status who cannot commit any sin or make mistakes. Thank you Sir.

Dr. Mercola, Could you please tell me if there is such a thing of being allergic to vitamin D. I just heard from someone that told me that their customer told them that they are allergic to vitamin D and that they are seeing a specialist in Atlanta for this. I've never heard of this before and I was wondering is this real for one and if so how is this possible. She said that his doctor informed him that if he takes vitamin D that it could kill him. Please reply if you can! Thank you!!!
