I'm so glad that you found out about your vitamin D deficiency. You may find over the months ahead that it brings you many benefits that you may not have expected. As you know from my book, vitamin D interfaces with over 2000 genes in our body. Get your levels normal and keep them that way! Dr. Soram thanks for your post Judith.

If you are deficient indeed I could be contributing to the pain in your joints. Please let me know if your pains are better after you take the vitamin D. yes Sue.

I am a little low in Vit. D and calcuim, could that cause the pain? I'm also Lebanese and live in the north, so I know I could use more time out in the sun. Any thoughts?

Have been having arrythmias, blood pressure up and down, irritable bowel with diarrhea, burning in mouth and throat...just so many symptoms of low vit. d...which I just found out today that I have a level of 13. I am now wondering how long this has been going on. I asked my doctor several months ago for a test to see if I was deficient in any vitamins and minerals, and she refused saying she did not think it was necessary and tried to have me take blood pressure pills instead...which I did not as in 1992 when all this stuff started, blood pressure bills (3 different kinds) make my arrythmias worse...all these years not one doctor checked my Vit. D level...and what prompted the nurse practitioner to check is I have been having weeks of excruciating bone and muscle pain and weakness and fatigue (my doctor is on vacation so had to see someone else). So I have been combing the internet to find information on Vit. D deficiency...especially with mine being so low and with the symptoms I am having...Was glad to read your blog...thanks I have been not feeling well since 1992 actually.

I'm so sorry to hear of all the medical difficulties you have been having. As you know from my book severe vitamin D deficiency can give a lot of symptoms and contribute to other medical problems. Given that your level was so low please share with your doctor chapter 5 in my book. I strongly suspect that the dose of 50,000 IU once a week for only four weeks is not enough to get your levels up to normal or optimal. As I talk about in my book it has been my experience that at least eight weeks of this dose is required to get your levels up to recommended values. Then regular blood tests should be done to make sure that with a maintenance dose (which is much lower than 50,000 units) you keep your levels up. That will be the surest way for you to see what benefits optimal vitamin D levels can bring to your general health and well-being. My best wishes to you, Dr. Soram Dear Akasha,

It sounds like you are medical doctor as well. I too have seen miracles with the use of Vitamin D in my practice over the last 6 years of using it. Optimizing the Vitamin D levels of myself as well as my patients has produced amazing benefits for us all. It was because of these miracles I have seen that I was inspired to write the book to share with patients and their doctors. I would like all doctors to be measuring and optimizing their patients levels! In less than a month I will have on this site, an at home Vitamin D finger-stick blood test kit package, for patients to do so they can work with their doctors to optimize their levels. I would like everyone to have an optimal level. As I say in the book we do not even know what the landscape of disease would look like if everybody had a normal level! Keep up the good work! And thank you for sharing my book with so many of your friends! S Jessica,

But as you know from my book, it is best to do a blood test to see what your starting level (especially after Winter) is so then you can normalize or optimize your dose! See Chapter 5 in the book for more information. Dr Soram Gary

I ordered it online on a Thursday, it arrived in the mail Friday and I had read through it by the time I went to bed Friday night. It's a great, easy read and contains extremely valuable information. I've been studying D for over 2 years and still learned from your book. I found the section on Vitamin D and cancer to be particularly well written and easy for the layman to understand. I shared it with the Medical Director of our family practice clinic (just outside St. Louis, MO, 38° 45' N) who has been identifying and treating D deficiency for over 2 years now. He very much enjoyed it, as did I. Since then, I've given my copy to 2 others. The Medical Director and his colleague are presenting two sessions on Vitamin D at the second largest meeting of Family Physicians in the country the first week in April. We're excited to share our experiences with these physicians and are confident they will walk away with an eager desire to begin testing and treating their patients for D deficiencies as well. We've witnessed incredible outcomes from treating our patients. In the 25+ years our medical director has been in practice, he feels he's helped more people in the past 2 years than in the previous 23. It's a wonderful feeling and we're doing what we can to educate others on the importance of checking D and optimizing your 25(OH) levels. Thanks, again, for taking the time to publish this book. I plan on continuing to share it with others! Thank you for your wonderful book!
