Vitamin D philanthropist in Alberta Canada
Vitamin Determination: An oilman becomes a health care renegade
Allan Markin is one of Alberta’s richest men—and a crusader to get Canadians to take more vitamin D. Misguided eccentric, or visionary?

Notes by Henry Lahore of VitaminDWiki
Markin wants to save Alberta and Canada lots of suffering and money
His net worth = $600 million
He has put $200 million into not-for profit healthcare (Pure North)
His purpose is similar to VitaminDWiki: to help people feel better and live longer
Pure North uses Vitamin D doses of 6,000 up to 20,000 IU daily
He learned that productivity was linked to wellness while co-creating a oil/gas company
He personally got better after taking vitamin D and removing mercury fillings in his teeth
He believes that there are widespread health problems.
Naysayers still say we lack Vitamin D RCT
Still need prescription for >1,000 IU in Canada
