Can see that the patients with East Asian Names have significantly lower vitamin D levels than those with British Names

Median East Asian = 9 ng    Median British = 19 ng

Note:patients with the lowest level of vitamin D in their blood are on the right

Graphs showing the vitamin D levels for each disease.

Note: most patients have <20 ng/ml and very rarely > 40 ng

!!!Note: the Horizontal axis is reversed from previous graphs

   thus the patients with the highest level of vitamin D are on the right

Note: HBV = hepatitis B virus

{SPLIT(colsize=550|500)}

Far better response to D3 than D2

Response to 20,000 IU vitamin D3 extra per week

Most > 20ng and some > 40ng

Response to 20,000 IU of vitamin D2 per week (im = inter-muscular injection)

Very few got to 40ng
