Yes, the dosage to me is pretty extreme and especially given my weight.
The dosage of 50,000 IU was meant to be taken I think for 5 days straight (to boost the levels quickly) and then tailed off to taking it once or twice a week (if memory serves me) as a maintainance dose. But I never got past the first day or two before it became obvious it was affecting me. I had to lie down because of going off-balance and of course, other symptoms too.
It affected my hearing and eyesight to some degree also. Had nausea, acid reflux, dizziness, etc for months after quitting it. I rang the office to get help and they didn't care at all. Told me they'd get back to me and never did.
Got in touch with another doctor I go to (mainstream) and they were very concerned and got me in fast. He said that the dose is not unacceptable and that they are doing this now in patients, but he said in my case, it hurt me (due to the metabolising problem). But as I said, i don't completely agree. I've seen enough reports now online of what these big doses can do to people and sadly, long term too. Takes a long time to "wear off". If in fact it ever does, as I hear overdosing vitamin D can cause nerve damage?
Of course, it's usually denied that it's harmed other patients in this way. But it's interesting how many you find on the net that have been injured in the same way. They maybe right, but it's possible that not many people are put on such high doses here in nz anyway, so they may not be getting an accurate enough idea of what impact it can have.
So you're being very wise about dosing. I have heard great benefits from vitamin D, as long as one does not go for overkill. As with anything i guess.

Yep, I've heard the 10,000 seems to be the one that people take. My levels of vitamin D were appaulling, hence why the doc decided to take a drastic approach, which just backfired, but I think she's been using the same on other patients.
I don't get much sunlight myself, but I'm trying to push myself to go and sit outside for sometime each day. I know I need it! Eating beef liver, eggs, butter, natural cod liver oil etc can also help increase vitamin D too.

Question for JK, please: JK posted: [For a long time they were telling people not to take more than 2,000 iu a day of vitamin D, but then more recent research showed that 5,000 iu and perhaps even up to 10,000 a day may be safe enough. I am convinced that ny vitamin D levels are low as I don't get much sunlight, and those with mercury toxicity tend to have low vitamin D levels. I also read today that vitamin D boosts NK cell activity which is low in CFS(mercury toxicity).] - Sorry JK, I still haven't caught on to the 'reply to' thingy! My question for YOU, if you please is...I had my blood work done a couple of weeks ago. I have the test results in front of me. JK, as I look at the paper, I see Vit D, 25-HydroxyThen it has an explanation of : 35 Reference range:30-89 12 Reference range: 30-89 Unit (with a bunch of medical words. Anyway, my MD typed on the bottom-- "Instructions: Labs ok. White blood cell count above normal, probably consistent with sinus infection she was describing." It doesn't seem like she diagnosed me correctly according to the explanation in these. Do you know if the " Vit D,25-Hydroxy is alright ?" Thank you and God bless you for all the help you give! I continue taking the Life Enhancement SunPower Vit D/D3 (cholecalciferol) 2,000 IU, one (sometimes 2) a day. I don't get much sunlight either! --

"I see Vit D, 25-Hydroxy Then it has an explanation of :35 Reference range:30-89" On the vitamindcouncil.org website, they claim that 50-80 is the normal range, so your value of 35 is in fact too low. The lab's claim that as low as 30 is still normal doesn't seem to coincide with what they are saying on the vitamin D Council website. http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/Perhaps you should be taking 5,000-7,000 IU a day of vitamin D every day, then have your level tested again in 2 months to see if it is higher. If you start sunbathing in the summer or increase the amount of sun you get, then you don't need as much in supplement form.

I agree with your recommendation. I will take more, perhaps 3 (D3), from this Life Enhancement. --God bless you for helping so many. Yes, now that we're having longer daylight, I will go outside and work some Word Puzzles! Ha! Take care. I sincerely DO HOPE you are feeling better. As Bex so aptly indicated, "What works for one, may not work for someone else."WOW! the Current 'RESEARCH' implication names a lot of 'bodily health problems' if lacking in this Vitamin! Each individual is uniquely designed by our Creator. Count our blessings! How would we like to be in Japan right now???

"Other important roles for Vitamin D come from the work of Carl Reich, MD, of Calgary. Insufficient Vitamin D prevents the ionization of calcium and thus makes calcium less able to play it's role in functions in the body. Reich found that this leads to cell energy starvation, causing fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, allergies, gut problems and other problems. Over time, these can become more serious: asthma, hypertension, osteoporosis, arthritis, etc. Dr. Reich treated this cell energy starvation using diet and nutrients, including doses of Vitamin D of 4800 to 8800 IU (less for children), reducing the dose as patients improved. Using this program for over 30 years, Dr. Reich helped his patients recover from a variety of ailments. " http://www.vitaminsinamerica.com/news/vitamin_d.htm
