A recent review: D3 ganglion cysts, blood sugar , and appetite:5.0 out of 5 stars Enthusiasm to push me to do more research M. R. “me” (Chicago, IL United States) While not a masterpiece of editing and style, this book is enthusiastic and has lots of research that you can go to yourself to get additional information. I have done a lot of Vitamin D research before, but this book inspired me to try to find information on large doses. This was also the first book that said anything about K2 – which is important to how Vit. D works. I do wish the author had been clearer about how long he took each mega-dose of D3, but each update the author does to the book seem to improve its flow incrementally. Read the book and catch some of the author’s enthusiasm for D3.
I had been taking 10k IU of Vitamin D3 for over a year and had noticed improved moods. Then I got this book. I upped my D3 to 50k IUs a day on Oct. 1, 2013. I ordered K2 and started that along with it on about Oct.15th. About mid-month in October I realized that my ganglion cysts (which I have in both wrists) had retreated significantly. Now, on Nov. 1, I can’t feel them at all. It is really hard to tell how long the author took each mega dose he talks about. That is why I think that getting your Vit. D levels tested will be very important. I just sent my test kit in and should have results soon. (I’ll update this review when I get them.)
I have noticed that my blood sugar seems steadier – I don’t crave carbs or get hungry as often. I think I may have taken my D3 too late on the day a few times and that has made it difficult to sleep, so now I try to take it early in the day. I have none of the aches and pains that friends the same age (mid-40s) complain about. ETA: Got my results. Last year at this time, taking 10k IUs per day, I was at 66 ng/ml. Today, after 3 weeks at 50K IUs/day I am at (oops) 172 ng/ml. I may reduce my dose a bit, but I might not. I am taking my K2 and I feel great.
