Original Message
I attended a grand rounds where I work. A spine surgeon, gave a talk about bone density, and injuries.
He said most people are deficient in vitamin d3 and calcium.
People with low levels have soft bones, fractures are slower to heal. Patients that op out of serious back injury surgery have been put on vitamin d3 and calcium. Their fractures healed on their own. I saw the evidence --some x rays before and after.
He recommends 1000 units a day. I've heard others say take 2000 units a day. He said 400 units won't do anything.
I was also at a breast cancer conference and 3000 units a day was recommended for women.
The calcium he recommends is calcium citrate. Not the carbonate type.
