Note-New Book out 2019 Vitamin D3 part 2 + its 5 cofactors a must readThis updated edition has a fascinating new look at diabetes as an evolved defense to freezing damage in winter gone out of control- Don't miss it! 144+ Pages of Fact-Packed Science Based Information-But FUN to read- Upon realizing that taking 4,000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day was not enough for me, I decided to embark on a "dangerous" experiment that directly contradicted everything MD's had told me for years: “DON'T TAKE TOO MUCH VITAMIN D IT IS DANGEROUS!” I started taking 20,000 IU a day-50X times the recommended dose of 400 IU a day. After about 4 months upped the dose to 50,000 IU a day or 150X the old recommended “safe” dose I then boosted it to 100,000 IU a day or 300 x TIMES the old maximum safe dose! What happened over these last 10 months? Did I die? get sick? No! Just the opposite!! High dose Vitamin D3 therapy over the last year- CURED ALL MY CHRONIC CONDITIONS- SOME THAT I'D HAD FOR 20+ YEARS! A painful snapping hip syndrome which I had been suffering from for 23 years and no Dr could help me-It is now 100% gone. No pain and NO SNAPPING!! Yellow fungus infected toenails (under the nail)- I tried everything over 20 years and nothing worked-10 months of high dose Vitamin D3 and they are clear as a bell! 100% cured. A knobby bone spur on my elbow that made me look like Popeye the sailor man-It has now 100% dissolved and my elbow is back to the way it used to be 20 years ago. Painful , clicking, popping, stiff Arthritic shoulders that prevented me from even throwing a ball from home plate past the infield. A condition I’ve had for 15 years. Gone. No more popping snapping or clicking and I can throw the ball twice as far . A ganglion cyst that persisted on my wrist for over 5 years has shrunk from the size of half a golf ball to the size of a pea and now it is rock hard ,painless, and shrinking. A small subcutaneous cyst on my face that had not gone away for 20 years –now gone! AND-Without even trying my weight has dropped by 25 pounds from 204 to 179. This book tells you detailed results of my experiment, dangers to avoid, and also discusses a simple and elegant new theory that suggests how High Dose Vitamin D3 therapy Should help PREVENT OR CURE all the epidemics of disease and health issues that have been plaguing us since the 1980’s when Doctors started warning us to stay out of the sun and always use sunscreen. This has created the huge epidemics we see today of Obesity, Autism, Asthma, and many others! When your Vitamin D3 levels are low, your body gets you to prepare for winter by overeating, slowing you down to conserve energy, and even making you depressed to keep you housebound. Interestingly it is this same drop in Vitamin D3 levels that signals a bear to start hibernating! If your body expects famine-like conditions caused by winter to be likely- it will conserve your critical resources for the future. This leads to what I call the Incomplete Repair Syndrome which in turn causes most of the diseases humans face other than spontaneous gene mutations that cause syndromes and diseases caused exclusively by aging. High D3 can be used to prevent or treat a huge number of diseases MS, asthma, 17 kinds of cancer, lupus, arthritis, heart disease, obesity, depression, Parkinsons+many more... This IS the better mousetrap! Most MD's get just a basic 4 years in Med School, then work to earn not learn. I've researched diseases and aging for 20+ years, with a 10 year stint where I spent 12 hrs/day everyday in the Northwestern Med School's library just reviewing clinical and scientific studies! I've had 3 major papers published; the publishing journal has 5 Nobel Prizes between the editors. And described my papers as extremely exciting and of major importance Review: Worth its weight in gold - I think I only read about 5 pages of this book before adding D3 to my shopping list, first I bought the tablet form, now I take the liquid and the tablets. I was already taking really good vitamin A (fermented fish oil) and vitamin K2 (raw liquid vitamin butter), as well as transdermal magnesium and 1 teaspoon per day of Mineral Blend Celtic sea salt. The only thing I won't take in supplemental form is calcium. My feeling is there is enough calcium already in my body. I started the regimen adopted in this book to tackle varicose veins, bone strength and healing (2 old fracture wounds) and strengthen my teeth. It has worked for everything and MORE. Have to add, I've also flushed out (approx 150) gallbladder stones using the Moritz method (Kindle), addressed Essential Fatty Acid deficiency and ditched shop bought fruit juices, now juice my own for the full vitamin C complex, rather than just take ascorbic acid, which is what you get in Vit C supplements. I feel I've turned my biological clock back and everyone I meet wants to know my secret. I tell them, it is no secret, the books are out there, go figure. Trouble is a lot of people want the knowledge but they don't want to put in the hours of reading, so I find myself providing synopses to friends in need. The really fascinating thing about taking high doses of this nutrient is that you can see your body changing in response to it on a daily basis e.g. toe nails. Most people's toe nails are quite yellow and brittle. Once you start to address D3 deficiency, your toe nails grow out a really healthy pinkish colour and are extremely easy to file and cut. My finger nails too are now completely different and its virtually impossible to break them. If they do break, its not as messy as it used to be e.g. the break isn't as sharp? Apart from waking up your metabolism, having much more energy and reducing your appetite, I've also noticed my pain threshold has increased considerably. This summer I endured a medical disaster. Basically, I had a raging tooth abscess that was undetected by 2 dentists and 2 doctors at A&E! My health had been improving for about 3 months prior to this, and I had only been taking high levels of D3 for about 6 weeks when the abscess struck. Well, you probably wont believe this, but I had 3 abscesses in the end, one on each root, and I did NOT take painkillers, not even once ! This is a pretty incredible fact and I'm still amazed at what happened, because I have had a lot of pain killers in the past and I also had a lot of pain. Pain and pain killers are just a thing of the past. Varicose Veins Mine were getting quite bad, started the D3, stared at them every day for a while, then forgot about them. Looked at them 2 months later and could see a major improvement. Basically what happens is that they reduce from the outer reaches inwards. They look like shrinking spiders? I really look forward to wearing shorts on holiday now, because they're significantly reduced and improving by the minute. Increased Tensile Strength My bones are now very strong. All those aches and pains have ceased. I was noticing great improvements with Magnesium Oil and vitamin K2, but when I added this to the mix, things just took off. Basically it doesn't hurt to lift things anymore. And when they tell you to strengthen your muscles and do exercise, I honestly think that's a load of rubbish. If your bones are mineral deficient and you have been living in the dark for 10 months, there is no way you can exercise without huge amounts of pain. I can do what I like now and feel no pain. Yesterday I came back from the supermarket with 8 heavy bags of shopping. When I got home, I opened the boot and hooked all 8 bags on one arm and walked into the house. I do this all the time. I'm not even out of breath when I put them down. Its like they weigh less than they should? My husband, who used to think I was pretty unfit, hates that I can out-walk him, out run him and out lift him now. I totally agree with the author's hypothesis that we are all in a kind of technical hibernation unless we have large amounts of D3 or sunlight exposure. It doesn't matter how hot your office/workplace or house is, unless you get enough sunlight (or D3) your body will just pack on fat and slow right down. His views on the evolutionary role of diabetes is mind-blowing! Thank you Jeff Bowles !! Update 01/11/13: At the same time as starting to take high doses of D3, I also gave up cow's milk. The first milk alternative I consumed contained good amounts of calcium but the one I've switched to subsequently does not. I was thinking that perhaps I needed to supplement with calcium now? especially as my diet has become more Paleo. As luck would have it, it took me too long to make up mind, and my poor body has shown me just how imbalanced I am right now, by developing a dreaded kidney stone! So, I'm detoxing my kidneys for the next 7 days with magnesium sulphate (apparently Epsom Salts busts kidney stones in as little as 3 hours!). As painful as the mobile kidney stone was, I'm still determined to continue taking high doses of D3 but recognise that I will have to take more calcium now, to keep up. I should add, this is fully explained in the book. Personally, I knew I was taking a risk when I started high doses of D3, but part of my thinking at that time was that I desperately wanted to de-calcify my body, as I've been a BIG dairy eater. It would appear I've done that and now need to supplement with calcium. Update 04/11/13: Well it turns out that my low calcium/high D3 diet status was made worse by my excessive consumption of vitamin C. because if that happens, you excrete more organic calcium. I was having 2 oranges and a grapefruit a day. I've dropped down now to only one large orange, as that contains enough. (A navel orange has 82.7mgs of Vit C and women my age only need 75mgs per day). This is interesting, because it might mean I wasn't so low on calcium, perhaps? I don't know, but to safeguard myself, I've decided to consume liquid calcium by Floradix for a while, because I just don't have the time or desire to boil lots of cabbage/kale each day. Update 13/11/13: Because my Floradix liquid calcium has not arrived yet, I'm having to take Calcium Carbonate as my needs for elemental calcium are more urgent because of a healing tooth socket. This cheap version inorganic calcium requires a highly acidic environment in which to break it down ready for absorption, so I melt my 600mg tablet first in pure lemon juice until it has frothed up and completely dissolved before consuming it. Its usually only 40% absorbed, so I'm hoping I will absorb more this way? I've spaced my doses throughout the day. The great thing that has happened as a result, is I no longer have to get up at night to pee. Which was so boring and been doing that for 3 years. The other thing I noticed since supplementing with lemon-melted calcium is that my symptoms of sensory overload - which I thought was part of my personality - have been corrected too? This is really weird and I'm still working out how useful that improvement is. Update 03/12/13: I really miss taking my 10,000i.u. of D3 a day. I felt so good on that stuff. I look back and realise I felt better then than I had in years. I've reduced my calcium carbonate dose, as the Floradix arrived and I'm on my second bottle. The other thing that is worth noting is that my fixation on calcium and D3 left out a very important amino acid that is directly concerned with calcium absorption and that is Lysine. I'm now taking Lysine, Arginine and Glutamine, as they are the triumvirate of wound-healing. Gosh, I had only been taking them for about 4 days and my symptoms are vastly improved. Basically my jaw bone has to be ready for an implant in the New Year, so I must make as much tough, good quality bone as I can before then to avoid them having to build up the bone very much. There are contra-entries regarding Lysine, e.g. gallstones and kidney stones, but honestly, I think the benefits far outweigh them. Besides, I've flushed my gallstones and kidney stones out recently, so if I get more, I'm not bothered. I don't know how much protein we are meant to eat to get 500mg of Lysine, but I am not a big protein eater, so I don't think I will ever do it from dietary intake. Besides, you have to ideally eat red meat to get good quality Lysine into you and I'm not really eating a lot of red meat anymore. I'm taking 1,500i.u. of D3 now, which is OK, for now. Update 24/01/14: I have recently found out that my hip pain was NOT osteo in origin!! This was fantastic news that I didn't believe at first, but is correct. It turns out that my adrenal glands were grinding to a halt again, due to my car blowing up, the natural flood I had to deal with and the passing away of our darling dog. I thought I was coping OK, but now I realise (6 months on) that I had endured considerable muscle-wasting, which is a feature of high stress and low adrenal output. So the good news is that I have stepped up my D3 intake to 5,000i.u. a day again - and loving it! The other things I'm doing to help re-build my muscles and connective tissues, especially the main muscle that was giving me all the trouble called the Sartorious Muscle (which hugs the hip bone at its connection point and that's where my pain was radiating from) is three important amino acids called: glycine, cysteine and proline. They are amazing and I've done separate reviews for those. Review: At 31, I was slowly dying without my doctor being able to do anything for me. This book has. READ IT. - Originally from continental Europe, I live in the UK for the last 8 years now. I moved at the age of 22, initially to get a Bachelor degree and ended up staying here. Pretty much since I moved here my health started going down. I started having issues with my back, neck and knees amongst other, I had visited all sorts of doctors over the years to only be told I needed doing more exercise, rest etc. I did physio sessions which helped for two days or so and then the pain would come back. I did acupuncture and cupping which would both help for a week or so to again start having pains all over my body and particularly all over the back, neck and shoulders. I started having really low energy too, put on weight (72kgs vs. 58kgs when I first came here), having vertigo and just really feeling unwell and sick. The situation got really bad last summer and I visited my GP twice and emergency services once due to severe heart palpitations. Three times I told them my condition and how I felt to just be sent back home saying I was tired and needed rest and exercise. I tried that but ended up being really really unwell still. What did not help at the time was that I worked a lot too and because I could not sustain the lifestyle no longer as literally felt dying, I quit my work and went back to France for a long vacation. This helped a little, as I was exposed to sun a little more but still not much as over the years I lost the habit to sit on the sun or if I did I often applied sun screen. I got back in October last year and the issues started back a couple of weeks into it. I got a new job again and started work. Within weeks, I started feeling really really ill again, I had pains all over my body, this time also started having severe pains in my knees and arms, some days I would have an entire part of my body go numb and I just couldn't hold it together. I left that second job two months into it. I spoke little about my issues around me, just pretending things were fine. The only people I spoke of it were my mum and my boyfriend. Being sick to hear me moan of how ill I was every single day, they both told me to go do a blood test and see what was going on. I did that and the results came fine, a part the vitamin D, which was ridiculously low. I had 13mg/L on the UK measuring scale (there seems to be various ones around). My GP gave me a course of vitamin D3 supplements for 9 weeks, of 50,000uis per week. I got on it straight away and initially experienced issues as by body was "freaking out" with all of this vitamin being literately thrown at it at once. This went away gradually. I needed heaps of sleep as well at first for the first couple of weeks. I would sleep 12 to 14h a day and still feel tired. At the same time, because I ignored what vitamin D was apart that it helped Calcium get into out bones, I started reading articles, and watching videos from experts on the topic. I then came across the video that Jeff did on a radio program (via Youtube) and it instantly made sense. I decided to buy a book and decided to get the vitamin K2 and additional vitamin D3, beyond the dose I got given by my GP. I am currently a month and a half into it. I already feel so so so so much better. It's indescribable. I still have joint pains, but I have lots of energy like I can't remember I had last time. I feel a lot better generally speaking, my mood's lifted, and my body functions a lot better overall. With years, I have stopped to eat many foods as I was intolerant to them, becoming almost vegetarian and for the last few weeks I can eat all sorts of food again. It feels marvellous and I have bought worth of a couple of hundred pounds worth of vitamins to distribute around me to friends and family who I know suffer of similar problems. I think people will be more likely to get on it and try if they are being given the product and told the story. I can not thank Jeff enough for his amazing book and research and his insightful concept on the hibernation theory. It makes so much sense that it's ridiculous we have all been fooled for so long. I am spreading the word, have been sending links and articles to all my friends and I am just writing this up to recommend to other people to get on it as soon as they possibly can. I am 31 now and I am hopeful I have a healthy future ahead of me. I am just so thankful this all happened the way it has and I am able to spread the word now. Thanks again Jeff.

At 31, I was slowly dying without my doctor being able to do anything for me. This book has. READ IT.

Read this book!
I bought this book several months ago and it has been a real eye opener. Although a tad confused in its writing (hence the 4 stars), the author's passion and knowledge about the subject shine through, inspiring and encouraging readers on their journeys to full health. I've read and re-read the book plus had email conversations with Jeff (thank you, Jeff, for your interest and wisdom). Living in the UK, not all the resources mentioned in the book are available however, alternatives can be found eg re Vit D testing I've persuaded my GP to test me regularly (I say 6 monthly, he's starting with 3 months). By the way to convert the US measure of nanograms/ml to British nanomoles/L multiply by 2.5. Before starting my own Vitamin D3 high dose experiment, I listed every single symptom, glitch and twinge. I then bought my D3 and K2 through Amazon, beginning with 10,000iu per day along with the essential Vitamin K2. After a month I upped my dose to 20,000iu and now after 3 months I've just increased to 30,000iu with pro ratatouille increases in K2 as described in the book. Certainly, my energy and strength have increased, my teeth seem shinier and brighter (thanks to the K2), I recover from strenuous activities more easily and have avoided catching colds. The only one which I was coming down with was shaken off within 24 hours. Hurrah! I'll return to update in the months to come. In the meantime, I highly, highly recommend this book.

This book really will change lives!
For about 3 or 4 years I had been experiencing some very strange symptoms in my health some severe some very slight. The first things I experienced was consistent tiredness and fatigue, this has been going on the longest but in all honesty I put this down to my less than perfect diet, the fact that I work long hours and my on and off trouble with sleeping. I also experienced a mild to severe depression on and off and a total lack of motivation to complete tasks or achieve anything as it were. Again I thought this was down to other cuases such as because I had been single for a while, and was not in my ideal job est. But about two years ago things started to get a lot worse, and I experienced the onset of two very worrying health conditions. Firstly my hair started to fall out, every time I washed it, it would come out in handfuls. I found this very stressful as I am only 31 years old and previously I had very long hair which was in great condition, and although it has never been thick it was thick enough to hold a style nicely. As time went on my hair started to look noticeably thinner and scraggly and I no longer dared dye it for fear of making things worse. I went to my GP about the hair loss but all the blood tests they did came back as normal, then after about 4months it just randomly stopped falling out as quickly as it started, I was over the moon! obviously I was still worried as to why it had started in the first place but was just so relieved that it appeared to have stopped and as the months went by my hair started to thicken up again. Then last October time the hair loss randomly started again, but even worse than it had been the year before. On top of this I noticed that my vision was becoming blurry ay work and I was struggling to focus on people when I was speaking to them, almost like my eyes were wanting to go in opposite directions from were I wanted them to! I started to experience horrendous migraines which I had never suffered from before and then one day a couple of weeks after this had first started the muscle in my right eye simply seemed to give up the ghost and I was left with a lazy eye! I would be looking at someone or something when all of a sudden my eye would start drifting around and there were absolutely nothing I could do about it. I went to my doctors who were useless, the doctor seemed very disinterested and simply said I would have to go to the opticians. By this point I had also developed what was called nystagmus in both eyes, which is were the eyes move either from side to side or up and down uncontrollably. it was extremely uncomfortable as my eyes became so sore and red as they were constantly moving around even when I was a sleep and it made it virtually impossible to focus on anything. I couldn't even see the TV unless I was virtually sat on top of it! Writing this I have almost forgot how bad things were, but it really was one of the most difficult times of my life. I was terrified as I didn't understand what was happening to me or if it would ever get better, and to top of it all my hair was still falling out as well. The opticians on the other hand were brilliant, and referred me to the hospital were eventually after several months I underwent an adult squint operation to correct the movement in my right eye, as the muscle I later learned literally had given way. Luckily this operation has sorted out the problem although my eye didn't heal very well, as I have been left with scar tissue so when I am tired or stressed part of my eye turns very red and sore and I still suffer from mild nystagmus, although this is nowhere as bad as it was. I had also been suffering from reoccurring bouts of thrush for about 3 years and no matter what I tried I just couldn't shift it, it made sex painful and uncomfortable and if nothing else was just a nuisance. In addition I started to suffer from reoccurring fungal nail infections which I would treat, new nails would grew then the fungus just seemed to return again. Several months ago I also finally got to my wits end about my hair falling out, as again this year in October it once again started to fallt. I went back to the doctors again but still no joy, so I decided to make a consultation with a hair specialist (trichologist) at the Claremont hospital. The first thing he recommended was certain blood tests but in different reference ranges to what the doctors would normally measure with, he advised that apparently the levels doctors class as sufficient of certain vitamins a specialist would class as way under, so he wrote to my GP and off I went for my blood tests. When the results came back everything was ok other than MY VITAMIN D this was way, way under what it should be at 22ng/ml. I gave the specialist my results and he immediately said this was the problem, potentially together with my implant contraception which is progesterone based. Progesterone although a female hormone which is mainly used to support the development of a pregnancy, is derived from testosterone so if levels are too high it can result in hair loss. Because my vitamin D levels are so low the doctor has started me on 20,000 iu of vitamin D a day for 3 weeks, and it was this discovery in my deficiency that sparked my interest in reading this book. After reading Jeff's book I feel like I have stumbled upon a gold mine, absolutely everything I have been experiencing for the past few years finally makes sense. The chronic tiredness which I had pretty much wrote off "as one of those things" the mild to severe depression, the total lack of motivation to do anything or make any progress with things. My hair loss, the reoccurring bouts of thrush and fungal nail infections that I just couldn't shift. I am even potentially putting my eye problems down to this as well, as vitamin D deficiency causes muscle weakness and although the surgeon suggested that I had probably always had an inherent weakness in my right eye, the fact that I have been vitamin D deficient for so long has probably caused the muscle to be pushed "over the edge" and finally given up the ghost in being able to function sufficiently. I have been taking the vitamin D prescribed by the doctor for about a week now, and in terms of energy levels I am already feeling better to the point were I am struggling to get to sleep at night as I am simply not tired! I had forgotten how it felt not to get to 9pm and be ready for bed when I am only 31years old! What I did find slightly worrying though was that the doctor did not recommend me taking any K2 vitamin to balance out the high levels of vitamin D she had prescribed for me. Whether she thought this wouldn't matter as she only put me up a 3week course of 20,000 iu which was to be reduced to 800 iu for 2 further months after, or if this is because she simply doesn't have the knowledge I don't know! but I think it highlights how far behind the medical profession as a whole really are... On reflection my vitamin D deficiency is not surprising. I work at a veterinary practice so work long hours, often 11hour shifts at a time and in winter I arrive at work in the dark and leave work in the dark, we do not get proper lunch brakes to enable me to go outside to get any fresh air and I have not been abroad the last couple of years to top up my levels. I agree with Jeff that probably the majority of the nation are vitamin D deficient and simply do not realise it. I will be telling everyone I know about the wonders of vitamin D and believe it is something which should be made common knowledge to people. I also definitely agree with Jeff that the big pharmaceutical companies have a lot to answer for and I do think he is at least partially right in that they do withhold certain information from the general public in order to make money. This has happened in many areas such as with St Johns wart, I know a lady who used to work for a big pharmaceutical company and she said as soon as they latched on to the effectiveness of St johns wart as an antidepressant they went out of their way to make it as difficult and expensive for people to get hold off as possible, as if used properly would likely leave the majority of antidepressants redundant. The more research I do the more I am starting to think that there is a natural alternative to virtually all medication and in order to ease all health conditions. I do believe we are kept in the dark "literally on purpose" as I am starting to put all the pieces together and have come to the conclusion that it is our modern day life styles that have created potentially most if not all of the health conditions we suffer from. We have lost the natural rhythms of life which used to work in tune with nature, as fresh air, sunshine and natural grown foods without the addition of additives and chemicals used to keep us healthy and happy. I am hopeful though that as time goes on more and more ancient knowledge will start to come back to help us and that eventually the self created "dark holes" we seem to have put ourselves in will be eradicated and we will once again return to nature. 09.01.2016 Just a quick update, I have been taking the 20,000iu vitamin D for around 3weeks now and started to run into a few problems sleeping at night, as I literally have too much energy now! but have since discovered that vitamin D should always be taken first thing in the morning as it temporally blocks the production of melatonin which is the hormone that helps us get a good nights sleep. I took it first thing yesterday and did seem a lot better last night so fingers crossed I've cracked it now :)

excellent- Thank you- Anyone looking for a cure should read this book
Whole lot of excellent advice - definitely worth reading. Hard to put down. Well researched and easy to read - love your writing style- I must be on the same wavelength ! I've been interested in d3 for a while, but have not yet been tested. I've been takin 2 clo capsules every day for over 1 year and not had a single cold, and my asthma and allergic rhinitis have vanished as have the weird scratchy feeling in my throat when I ate pizza or crunchy bread. This has given me the motivation to get my d level tested and given me the courage to try higher doses . I'd like to loose some weight, see if I can reduce my ca125 score from 90 to 30 or 0 and see if I can remedy my extremely heavy periods. I love the authors attitude- you have to push the boundaries . I am very impressed with your hibernation theory- it rings true. And the advice to take k2 with d3 in ratio reminds me of the Nobel prize winner- dr bud wigs cure for cancer( she used flax oil and sauerkraut / quark)- she was the world expert on fats and used them to bring cancer patients back from the brink. She would even massage the oils into skin for fast absorption. I have also read of some South African ladies many years ago who were cured of heavy menstral bleeding by taking large quantities of clo but have been building up courage to try. My d3 illness notable at 5 when I developed allergic rhinitis . In my 20's I had a weird rash whenever I went out in the sun.Then 30 when I'd become a workaholic and suddenly developed chronic ashma( they mistook it for tab at first-and within a year I'd had a melanoma removed( luckily I was pregnant so no treatment just surgery).this troubled me for years as I was in the office 8 til 8 so no sunbathing..I also had 3 or 4 work colleagues with same thing! Last year I heard about a correlation with vit d deficiency and felt there must be something in it. I can sunbathe now without protection for about 30 min. I used to get very frequent cricked necks at work and bad back pain from an old coxicks injury but I don't have that now thankfully but that's just after taking 2 capsules. I'm hoping for better results with more so I'll get tested order some vitamins and let you know. thank you for writing this book and sharing your findings

Interesting but.....
I'd like to know where he got the information about pregnant women taking 100,000 IUs a day for 9 months, which is ridiculous. He provides no reference for it just saying to google it. Well I did only to find studies where a single doses was given or a bimonthly dose which of course is a quite small amount daily. Here's the quote 'for the mean time keep in mind and feel free to look up on the internet the case of a number of pregnant women that wanted to prevent a genetic calcium problem in their babies to be born by taking 100,000 IU a day of Vitamin D for the entire 9 month term of their pregnancies with no ill effects, and completely healthy babies born' Bowles, Jeff T (2013-01-14). THE MIRACULOUS RESULTS OF EXTREMELY HIGH DOSES OF THE SUNSHINE HORMONE VITAMIN D3 MY EXPERIMENT WITH HUGE DOSES OF D3 FROM 25,000 to 50,000 to 100,000 IU A Day OVER A 1 YEAR PERIOD (Kindle Locations 263-265). Jeff T Bowles Publishing LLC. Kindle Edition. However he has carried out an interesting experiment on himself and gathered a lot of information from other sources so I'd say it's worth a read. I wouldn't want to trust his unreferenced info. I feel it's best to do very cautious experimentation on yourself while getting the necessary tests done to be safe Edit: I want to add that he omits very important information about magnesium which causes a lot of people problems when supplementing high doses of D3. Probably also the reason for his own symptoms of rages and chocolate cravings that he describes. Although he does include a reference to a article on that there is nothing in the text. Magnesium is needed for vitamin D metabolism and the more D you take the more you need. If you are borderline deficient you may start to have symptoms with high D3 doses. Certainly there is unlikely to be any need to get to over 100ng/ml which is unnatural. Masai herdsmen in Africa have an average of about 50ng/ml to put it in perspective. Caucasian Florida lifeguards are not a good example and even they are unlikely to have over 100ng/ml and definitely not on average

It is excellent and very practical book
It is an excellent and very practical book. After reading this book I got the courage to take a high dose of Vitamin D and it gave me new life. My condition was awful and according to my GP, I was not having any disease. 9 years ago I moved to the UK from India. After one year I started suffering from multiple health problems. I got tennis elbows; I got backache, headache, and lower abdominal pain. After investigating my consultant did not found anything wrong, I had been labeled as IBS. Diet restrictions and medication did not bring me any positive change, only my condition started getting worse. My knees started hurting. My consultant checked my vitamin D level, it came to 30nmol (12ng), but my GP did not prescribe me any supplement for a year time. My knees started cracking, my backache and abdominal pain gone worse. My GP prescribed me Vitamin D 400iu+500calcium x twice a day and told me that he has given me a very high dose of vitamin D3, I should not buy any additional vitamin preparation from the market, I can get toxicity. These supplements did not do any good to me, I kept adding health problems. I had both knees arthroscopy surgery done which ended up in muscle wasting; I lost function of my knees and girth of my thighs. My stomach went very bad and barely tolerates few selected foods. I got non-healing, very painful mouth ulcers, chronic sinusitis, bad headache, cervical spondylitis, violent leg cramps at night. I have been rolling- stones between different consultants and dentists, no one could bring any relief to me. My husband is a pharmacist; one day he forced me to take 60,000 IU vitamin D. It was a miracle, that night I slept like a baby. I haven't had any cramps at night. I did not get any muscle spasm in the daytime. I took 60,000iu vitamin D3 /week for six weeks then I remembered my GP's toxicity advice. I went to GP to get my vitamin D level checked, I told him my story, he wasn't impressed with it and did not look happy with me. Astonishingly my vitamin D level came to 68nmol (27ng). My GP changed my prescription to vitamin D3 600 IU daily in place of 800 IU a day. But I started taking 5000 IU daily. I took it for 6 wks. My mouth ulcer started healing, no more cramps in my legs, but still no difference in joint pain. I was trying to order vitamin D3 from amazon and I found Jeff T Bowles's book, read some reviews, and could not wait to read this book. I strait way purchased kinder addition and paperback. I finished this book in one night. I took vitamin D3 50.000 IU/day for 5 wks. With Vitamin K2 (MK4 and MK7) +Vitamin A+ magnesium citrate. I have reduced Vitamin D3 dose to 50.000 IU alternate day now. I am feeling very well and full of energy. My knees are much better; I can run up and downstairs, I could not walk upstairs without help before. My stomach is much better (my so-called IBS/food intolerance is gone). I can eat almost what I wanted . Mouth ulcers are healed. Sinusitis is gone. Now I am getting very less and mild flu attacks. I can see the difference in my nail growth. New nails are smooth and shiny not dull and brittle as they were before. I have put- on some weight without increasing my body diameters. My leg muscles are developing well. I am feeling my body fat is changing into muscle mass which I could not believe. I am enjoying my life much better now. I will keep updating you. I would like to thank Mr. Jeff T Bowles for all his efforts, research, and experimentation with a high dosage of Vitamin D3 on himself which gave me new life. UPDATE ON 15/01/2015 After six weeks I have reduced the Vit D dose to 50.000 units once a week. After three months I got my Vit D level checked. Oops, it came 636nmol/l, but my serum calcium and phosphate levels were normal. I didn't feel any symptoms of toxicity. It means Vit K2 did its job, kept calcium level normal by diverting it toward bones, where it should be. But I do not advise anyone to go to that extent. I have stopped taking Vit D, will start again when my serum Vit D level will fall below normal. Update On 27/02/2016 I am taking Vit D 50,000 units/week and my Vit D serum level came 175 nmol/l.

Excellent but...
The information in this book could save many from illness and decrepitude. The author's experiment and very positive results with Vitamin D were based on much research that already exists in some less accessible and often forgotten places of great knowledge (that we, the readers would not dare to venture into). Jeff not only made the information available, but used himself as the subject of his research. That is why I give 5 stars for the information. However...the formatting is pitiful and needs to be redone. Once it is done, this book could achieve an iconic position on Amazon and on the internet. Shame to keep it confined by the aspect so easily fixable. Jeff, I strongly encourage you to hire an editor and have some work done. Alternately, please, contact me. I can manage this project for you at no charge. I happen to know 2 editors who will be happy to get to work on this gem of excellent information. Information well presented is information that is more accessible and convincing. You have done a lot of great work. Why stop just before reaching the top?

fantastico
penso che queste informazioni possano cambiare la vita in meglio, sto utilizzando da un po' questi protocolli e non solo sto meglio, ma sono ancora vivo, alla faccia dei ciarlatani in camice bianco.

Miraculous, indeed!
Klein - aber sehr informativ! Das Büchlein hat mir sehr gefallen. Neben dem Eigenversuch des Autors lernt man noch eine Unmenge wichtiger Daten kennen, wenn man sich nicht nur auf die konventionelle Medizin verlassen will. Ich habe sofort mit den darin beschriebenen Dosen begonnen, und nach wenigen Tagen bereits spürbare Verbesserungen an meinem gesundheitlichen Zustand bemerkt. Ich werde dabeibleiben, denn es wird eine Ewigkeit vergehen, bis das dann in Deutschland plötzlich zur "Mode" wird.

Vital Information for Health
This book contains information that can improve your general health. I am sure of that because it has done so for me.. About two years ago I suffered a severe attack of shingles. I was 82 years old at that time. This was the second such attack I've had. The first one happened 37 years ago, when my body was still comparatively young, so I healed more quickly from that earlier episode. Both episodes were miserable, with a rash that was ugly, painful, and left behind a pain that recurred at times when the body was tired, depleted, and vulnerable to a new assault from this sneaky little virus. I learned that the shingles virus attacks when the immune system is weak. The recent attack in 2013 left deep scars and pain across the left side of the upper body, front and back. The recurring pain was treated by the doctor with anti-histamines, ointments, etc, none of which were very effective. After dealing with the ailment for a time with these methods, I ordered this little book for my Kindle, and began to use it as a last resort to help myself heal from this vicious attack. That was such a good decision! I want to tell everyone also that when the weather does not permit sunbathing to benefit from that source of Vitamin D, I take a form of Vitamin D, in two forms: One is ordinary but good quality fish oil,( which benefits arthritic joints) and the Dry Form of Vitamin D in capsules. That practice has strengthened my immune system, and so will prevent future illness. These supplements are not expensive, and are available on line at several safe sites. Mr. Bowles' book contains much information necessary to benefit from supplements. I discovered that Mr. Bowles, the author, has presented material that works .... at least for me! I have a back yard with an 8 foot high privacy fence, so I began to sunbathe on sunny days, 20 minutes each on the back and front of the body. It was not long before my residual pain from shingles was greatly improved. This treatment provides me more healing and comfort than any of the pharmaceuticals which have side effects. I have continued sunbathing, whenever the weather permits. I considered the purchase of a sunlamp, but the natural warm sunlight is such a blessing. It is free, no side effects (unlike some pharmaceuticals!) and it works! My general health is also improved by this practice. I recommend this book for anyone who wants an easy, effective and logical way to improve general physical health. I believe that exposure to sunlight in sensible ways is a real boon to general health. I am so glad I have this volume on my Kindle for easy reference. It is so worth the time to read it, and then put its principles into regular practice. I thank Amazon.com for offering it in their daily list of Kindle books.
