The reason that most people don’t seem to get the results from taking vitamin D3 capsules compared to sunlight is they don’t take enough of it. For most of us it’s impossible to get enough sunlight to turn into vitamin D3 to be really healthy. These measly amount of 1000 IU or 2000IU just won’t do the trick. You have to take at least 10,000 IU/day on a regular basis. If you’re deficient you’ll need to take 20,000 or 30,000 IU/day for a month or two to catch up .

Yes there is a dangerous level of vitamin D, it’s called a toxic level. To get enough vitamin D to reach a toxic level has been shown to require 60,000IU/day for weeks. To be absolutely safe it is recommended to also take vitamin D2. This prevents too much calcium from leaving your bones and getting into your bloodstream while you’re taking large levels of vitamin D3.



As for the 1918 flu, the reason it was so deadly was our CDC had recommended this miracle drug called aspirin. They didn’t tell people how deadly it could be if you took too much. So the sicker people got the more aspirin they took. Studies have dug up bodies and looked at how much aspirin they had in their system and found large amounts of aspirin had killed a large proportion of the deaths.

Maybe what happen was that the people that believed in natural healing back then were more likely to try things like being outside than taking large doses of aspirin.
