I’m happy to hear about your mother’s success with D, Iggy.

Has your mom ever tried a PPI alternative? Maybe her symptoms could be managed by using a natural alternative.

Thanks for the link. It looks like a winner.

Be well!

Respiratory problems are my 90 yo mother’s weakness and she’s doing better since she’s upped her vitamin D and started sleeping on an antimicrobial Cupron pillowcase. One aggravating factor is that she’s on a proton pump inhibitor, which is known to promote pneumonia.

JP, here’s an article which discusses what is a safe vitamin D blood level. It appears that any level below 200 ng/ml is non-toxic.

We all tend to pay insufficient attention to vitamins, but their significance for the organism is actually huge! I have personally experienced what a great force, which have the potential of vitamins, in my case, vitamin D helped to cope with chronic illness.
