Dear Mr BowlesI have been following you for several years and following your protocols for high D3, K2 and Caroten A. I have read several of your books.
My February 2021 blood test for D3 was 354 nmol/L and my calcium was 2.32 mmol/L (where the range is (2.15-2.6)
However my Kidney markers of Alk.P was 134 U/L on a range of (30-115) and my GGT was 108 U/L on a range of (0-45). I went on Milk THistle and by my next test on 6th May 2021 my Alk.P was back to within range at 100 U/L and my GGT was 21 U/L on a range of (0-45)
I had been travelling for 6 weeks as I was caught with a COVID closed state border and ran out of Caroten A and so took some Retinol A for probably 4 weeks of that time. The Dr thought that the kidney markers may be due to Retinal A which she said was an overdose. Funnily this traditional Dr did not say I was taking too much Vit D or K2!!
Do you think this could be the case?
I have noticed that my eyesight has deteriorated slightly since I went off the Retinal A.
Could I have caused kidney damage with that 4 weeks of 10,000 IU of Retinol A per day.
I have since reduced my D3 to 1 day per week of 50,000 IU and 2,200K2 and 10,000 IU of Caroten A and then one or two other days in the week, I take 10,000 IU, so a maximum of 70,000 IU D3 and 10,000 IU Caroten A and 2,200 K2 per week to try to reduce my Vit D a bit.
Many thanks for your valuable assistance

HI Lois
have not heard about d3 hurting kidenys actually the opposite those with kidney failure
tend to have increased Gfr (glomular filtration rate) when on high dose d3 which is good- better kidney function
go to the jefftbowles.com/ website and search d3 cures to look over 1,000+ case studfies self reported
Id like to add your case to the search engine…
I have heard that you should never take the retinol from of vit A only the beta carotene form as the retinol form supposedly intereferes with d3's good activities and it is too strong and easy to over dose…Beta carotene is converted by the body on an as needed basis
I dont know how it affects kidneys maybe your dr is right!!
