Again, not a commercial :-)  But Dr Carol Wagner has a new book out called 
New Insights into Vitamin D During Pregnancy and Lactation. ( available from 
Hale Publishing.)  It is very well referenced and makes a very interesting 
read.  She says prior to 2004 "normal" of 25(OH)D was 15-80 ng/mL (37.5-200 
nmol/L.
Since then the lower level has been revised to 25 ng/mL (62.5 nmol/L)   She 
also says that they have not found toxicity in levels up to 100ng/mL.  Big 
discussion on whether or not you live in a sun-rich envirnoment or not too. 
(Winter in Norway-Not :-)

I had mine checked about a year and half ago after hearing Dr Wagner speak. 
Mine was 7 :-(  I took 50,000 units weekly for 8 weeks.  Have done this 
series 3 times in 1 1/2 years, plus 2000 units daily and I'm all the way up 
to 27. I don't get much sun :-(  I'm not sure if I could handle cod liver 
oil tho :-(

Vitamin D deficiency is also being connected to all sorts of other problems. 
It's the newest cure-all, but I do think we need to at least have normal 
levels and read research carefully.  Pat in SNJ (gray, cloudy and cold 
today)
