Many MSers are getting virtually cured with Vitamin D with doses which are 2X to 10X higher than the 14,000 IU in this study.
Random Controlled Trials require the same monotherapy dose to all participants.
People being "cured" of MS do not use monotherapy, and the dose size is adjusted individually
