Thanks for confirming what I have believed right along with the push to discredit the true value of Vitamin D which is essential for a healthy life! I post on FB and I guess they are counterbalancing the narrative to stay in control.
In 2008 I had to convince my elderly mom's hospitalist there was a test for D. She assured me there was no assay for D. After showing her my own test result, 27, she researched, then ordered mom's test. Slowly I am getting all my family tested; all were <30, even with lots of FL sun.
Thank you for this information, especially the reasoning around lowered reference ranges. The lack of understanding in medicine around how reference values are set and other areas related to sensitivity and specificity, prevalence, and effect sizes is problematic and needs the kind of challenge you are bringing. IMO there needs to be less cramming madness in medical education and an understanding that passing tests does not necessarily equate to critical reasoning ability or deep understanding of bio mechanism in context or the many the confounders of knowledge that emerge when one starts to look at patients personally. EBM had some ideas to recommend it, but it’s really important to see the trees and not just the forest. Vitamin D has saved me and my dears many times -- especially from early stage illness with increased dosing. I hear your great dedication to repeat broadcasting of the vitamin D news in remembering someone precious to you and thank you for carrying roses from Heaven 🌹
The level of resistance to truth about Vitamin-D3 is testament to exactly how much certain people KNOW about the true value.
In the last 2 weeks there have been 3 fake profiles created for Vitamin-D advocates on Facebook. Every opportunity is used to discredit it and confuse people, let them think it is dangerous, misunderstood, confusing and expensive.
I keep spreading the word since I lost my wife who had a blood value of 9 and I had 50 ng's. Disease states abound when blood value is below 50!

Very good information. The huge misunderstanding of this in medicine is legendary. We need far more than we may think - both D3 and K2.
