I agree. Would like to know your recommended levels for cancer patients. BC no longer allows residents to have their Vit D checked with their regular lab tests, unless they can get a requisition from a specialist (not just a family doctor) and specialists can take forever to get an appointment. My Oncologist (BC Cancer Agency) will not give me a requisition because he does not beieve in the benefits of Vitamin D for Prostate Cancer patients.

Vitamin D for infants should be 1000 IU, we need to increase to 3000 IU by age 6 and then increase if our blood serum level is below 150 nanomoles

Over the past five years I have significantly increased my daily vitamin D levels to align with Purenorth's recommendations. I have not had any ill effects and feel I my health has improved.

I support policies for the maintenance of optimal health and prevention of disease. The RDA for vitamin D needs to be re-evaluated by Health Canada.

Acknowledgement on Vitamin D daily intake awareness is essential. Canada should lead the world in natural medicine - preventative health rather than supporting the big drug companies which ultimately kill us!!
