Amazon $9 Kindle Oct 2016

Step 2 of the 7 steps is: “Get enough sun and Vitamin D”

VitaminDWiki notes from quick read of the Vitamin D section of the book

I agree with him and that Sun >> UV >> Vitamin D - especially for MS

I agree with him that 600,000 IU loading dose is OK

He has many studies of MS and Sun/Vitamin D

generally 4,000 to 10,000 IU - but one study used 14,000 IU

Observes that more vitamin D results in better MS treatment

The word cofactors does not appear in the book

He says that "probably" an MS person does not need to supplement with Calcium

The word Coimbra does not appear in the book (Dr. Coimbra in Brazil uses 150 nanograms)

My summary

A step in the right direction, but does not step far enough

Perhaps he is limiting his text to what a MS person can do for themselves (treat),

rather than what doctors have been able to do for 1,000 MS patients (carefully) with lots of vitamin D - CURE

* Overview MS and vitamin D * Multiple Sclerosis **category listing has items along with related searches** * 21 reasons why doctors are reluctant to accept Vitamin D * Doubt that the author could have gotten so many doctors to endorse his book if he had included dose sizes which would have eliminated many of their jobs MS updates from Brazil {include} Multiple Sclerosis and (lots of) Vitamin D - book by patient on Coimbra protocol - Feb 2016 contains protocol description {include}
