well, getting older doesn't help

Vitamin D and Magnesium are being found to be important to diabetics and
many other 'auto-immune' diseases
ok, that's now starting to be a change in topic

I've been increasing my vitamin D intake since 2002. It took raising
my intake to at least 6000 and more certainly 8000 IU to
stop influenza and most colds.

i'm having my levels tested in response to some funky labs i've been getting (dating back to 2007 and still not resolved)

i read somewhere (i can't remember!) that the capsule form of Vit D is more readily absorbed than in pill form........ do you know anything about this?

i'm not surprised at 6000 IU/day, and i'm hearing of folk who are put on 50,000 IU/day for 2 months to 'get up to normal' and then the dose is being lowered to 50,000 IU/week !!!
i'm certainly not going to attempt this on my own, i will be asking for my Dr's advice :)

i'm worried about things other than colds and flu, but, i need to just relax until i know what is up...... coast along and we'll see

thanks!
