Your assessment is right. Vitamin-D is basically a symptom or marker of something else that's broken or diseased. In of itself, it really doesn't cause as much mayhem as some would like us to beleive. Certainly keeping it within normal limits is a good idea, just as it is with all of our essential vitamins and minerals. But if one's vit-D is defiencent, it's time to start looking for the real underlying cause.
I just got my vitamin D checked, and it was at 12 ng/ml. I've been taking 20,000 UI's a day, for a few weeks. I feel slightly better at times during the day, but it isn't enough to amount to anything. I'm not sure if vitamin D deficiency is real, or just another fad that will come and go. They claim that almost everybody has this deficiency. Yet, why don't they show symptoms?
The only improvement that I have seen with vitamin D is a slight increase in serotonin, when I'm in the sunlight. You can get this from anti depressants. The problem with increased serotonin is that it will not give you arousal, motivation, or energy. It will just make you passive and lazy. Yet, the medical establishment passes it off as a cure all. To function normal, you need all of the emotions, including stress, anger, arousal, and sadness when appropriate.
Weird stuff funny how the body reacts to one vitamin.Now I'm feeling a lot better appetite is coming back and stomach feels better . The doctor was saying I might have to be in the high numbers 80+to feel my best glad the summer is around the corner.When did you start your adventure with vitamin d how did it start and were you low ?
