A few of the many interesting items in the ebook

Note: Start with 400,000 IU of vitamin D to restore levels quickly to 50 ng and continue with maintenance of 3,333 IU average

• Initially 400 pills of 1,000 IU in a few days to weeks (recall that Germany restricts over-the-counter Vitamin D dose to 1,000 IU)
• Maintenance (not in Germany) would require only One pill every two weeks

Assumptions:

• 1. Body weight: 70 kg (154 lb).
• 2. Vitamin D level increased by 1 ng/ml with a one-off dose of 10,000 units.
• 3. No vitamin D gained through UVB radiation on the skin.
• 4. Vitamin D level drops by 20 percent a month
• 5. Initial value: 10 ng/ml.
• 6. Target value: 50 ng/ml.

Recommended upper limit in the blood	100 ng/ml
Level with regular sunbathing	50 to 90 ng/ml
Optimal (minimum risk of illness)	50 to 90 ng/ml
Good (low susceptibility to illness)	over 40 ng/ml
Satisfactory (good calcium intake)	over 30 ng/ml
Deficiency (risk of osteoporosis in old age)	under 30 ng/ml

The standard baby doses of 400 or 800 units will do nothing.
This dose for infants with a body weight of three kilograms was purely aimed at preventing rickets.
Adults' requirements are much greater.

Formulae for calculating doses for the initial and ongoing treatment.
The incremental factor and loss rate are average values, and vary in individual cases.
Short formula for initial treatment (capsules with 5,000 units):
Number of capsules = Desired increase x body weight x 0.028
Example: 40 ng/ml x 100 kg x 0.028 = 112 capsules initially
Short formula for maintenance treatment (capsules per month):
Number of capsules = Target value x body weight [kg] x 0.0056
Example: 50 ng/mlx 68 kgx 0.0056 = 19 capsules

In Germany, all pre-formed vitamin D medications containing more than 1,000 units require a prescription.
But this is a mistaken preventive measure.
French pharmacies have for years been selling drinkable 200,000-unit ampoules on prescription for less than 2 Euros without any problems.

The MANOS concept (Muscles , Adynamia, Nervous system , Orthostasis , Skeletal damage) covers the main symptoms of acute vitamin D deficiency .
  Note: Adynamic disorders : Debility , listlessness, lack of energy , permanent exhaustion and constant fatigue.

He was a doctor for 20 years, then discovered Vitamin D

He comments in the introduction that animals get much higher vitamin D supplementation than Germans
(Vitamin D Life notes that vets around the world give animals a good level of vitamin D because vets are typically paid to keep their patients healthy, vs doctors are typically only paid when the patient is not healthy) see Overview Veterinary and vitamin D

Hippocrates himself recommended daily sun bathing.
