How To Get Enough Vitamin D

There are 3 ways for adults to insure adequate levels of vitamin D:

* regularly receive midday sun exposure in the late spring, summer, and early fall, exposing as much of the skin as possible.
* regularly use a sun bed (avoiding sunburn) during the colder months.
* take 5,000 IU per day for three months, then obtain a 25-hydroxyvitamin D test. Adjust your dosage so that blood levels are between 50–80 ng/mL (or 125–200 nM/L) year-round.

you should try to stay out of the middday sun [say between 11am and 3pm] to avoid getting skin cancer, or at least wear thick clothing]

who would do vitamin D tests? I wonder... I have heard a lot about Vitamin D and cancer prevention, so it is relevant to healthcare,

I asked Sharon Grant in what way was the anticoagulant ATryn relevant to this site, it may not be but it is interesting nonetheless!

I can confirm that using coconut juice (from immature coconuts) does work as a sterile plasma substitute. I was a volunteer in Vanuatu (then the New Hebrides) in the 1970s. There was an outbreak of cholera on one of the out-islands - Tongoa. Plasma could not be got to the island, as it was during the hurricane season, and trading boats were kept in port.
The only medical presence was a New Zealand registered nurse, Libby Sutton. To rehydrate cholera sufferers - particularly children - she sent out assistants to gather immature coconuts, extracted the juice with a syringe through one of the coconut's 'eyes', and reinfused it directly. She saved a fair number of people during the outbreak, before weather conditions improved, and 'proper' plasma supplies could get through.

why immature coconuts, and why not drink the fluids by mouth

that is very interesting, is anyone able to do a comparison chemically between coconut milk and human plasma?

Once the coconut is mature, and falls, the juice starts to break down and be absorbed into the 'meat'.

thanks, so tender coconut is taken straight off the branch

I sometimes buy it from a chinese shop but it is so thick it would make you nauseous

What do you mean vitimin D is low in almost all MS paitents? My Vitimin D is low, and I have been having very painful random mussle spasms off and on for the last few months. Lethargic also. Could I have MS?

What about coconut milk, can that be used also?

I do believe that it is unwarranted and usually a product of a seemingly factual yet baseless estimate

Well! To say the least I'm flabberghasted - in fact my flabber has not been ghasted this much for a long time! :O
If I didn't know you all better I'd have thought I was on a site for sufferers of a mental disorder - and that's a joke before anyone gets offended
COCONUTS indeed! I can imagine it now, each theatre table with a brown hairy object attached to a long tube suspended over the patient, slowly dripping it's semi-sweet nectar into their arm - OK - with some filtering and work I guess it might be possible - but at what cost?
Keep going, this is interesting.
