So are you still seeing improvements with the Vit D? Also, how long did it take before your burning stopped? I am hoping I can get my levels up to the 90-100 range.

So are you still seeing improvements with the Vit D? Also, how long did it take before your burning stopped? I am hoping I can get my levels up to the 90-100 range.

Glad you had your vit. D-3 levels checked. I agree your levels are low.Please don't ever take any vitamins or any form of supplements without FOOD.Take it with your biggest meal of the day with Protein, vegs, and your starch,even take it right during your meal.Make sure your vit D-3 is in the form of cholecalicferol.Buy a good quality of it. Maybe you should try taking only 5,000 units of it Doug. 10,000 might be too hard for your body to absorb that amount. And it does take patience.It took me almost a year to get mine up. Hang in there and good luck ~Maureen Hi Doug,Read your e-mail, and again tried to e-mail you didn’t work.

I have read it can take 6 months to a year just to "fill up the tank" with Vitamin D. So patience is key! I was first tested in May and my level was 36ng which is insufficient/defficient to some experts. I started taking 10,000 IU per day and was tested again in August. My level was only at 43ng. So my levels only raised by 7 ng which is not very much. I have since changed the way I take it and take the entire dose right after I eat dinner. Before I would take some after breakfast and some after dinner. sometimes I took it on an empty stomach, etc. There are many factors that influence the absorbtion of Vitamin D so I am hoping my changes will increase my levels a lot when I get tested again in November. If the Vitamin D will help my burning I would be SO HAPPY! :-) Hi Maureen,,, so your email didnt go through… hmmmmmmm…

I also agree that it takes about a year to raise them up to these levels. I want mine also around 90 too 100 but maybe no higher. Who knows to much might take a turn for the worst. This is a hormone we are dealing with, and with any hormone you want a balance. It is also fat soluable which means it stays in our cells longer than a water soluable one like vit. C B vitamins they leave the body quicker. My Natural Path Dr. wanted me to have my other fat soluable vits. checked (A, E and K) but my western Dr. said they are hard to check and harder to inturpted. My other screening I do also tells me too not take anymore for a while. I will have my levels checked 3-4 times a year to keep them up near 100. ~Maureen Hi Doug, Tried e-mailing you but didn’t go through.I do agree with you that people living with rosacea could possible benefit from raising their D-3 levels to around 90 to 100 and also benefit from keeping them there.

I have read that in a lot of diseases the Vit D Receptor (VDR) activation is not normal and that it might take double the normal vitamin d levels to normalize the VDR. So Rosaceans might need their Vit D levels to be in the 80-100ng range. Also, from the people who have raised their Vit D levels into this range it seems to take about a year or so to see significant improvements. I know we all wished it would go away overnight but it takes time as I am sure it took a lot of time for us to develop this disease.

His response was that all the fat soluble vits. need too be balanced and too muchof one may be detrimental by causing a relative imbalance of the others. Most of us have been defecient for a long time as the RDA were too low.He said too Rosacea is definitely related to heat and usually too much heatfrom a chinese perspective. He recommends testing all the fat soluble vits. (A, E, K) if you are going to maintain such a high dose of vit.D3 When I looked at the range from my western Drs. report their range is from 30-80.My level right now is 93 and I don't thinkit is that high away from 80. I have a lot of respect for this Dr. and have seen him off and on for the last 10 years. I will soon have the others checked and see where they are at, and send that past him. If I take two days off from taking vit. D3 like sat. and sun. especially during the summer months, and then do it everday when winter comes again, or if I see that the skin is not doing as well, I'll go back and continue taking it everday, or until researchers come up with something new. I hope my life is not over before they do. Thanks for listening Later ~maureen Doug

My Western Dr. said that it is higher thannormal at 93 ng/ml. and wants me to cut it back to 800-1000 units a day. After hearing and reading all the benefits of vit-D3 I will continue the 5,000 units daily until I e-mail my Natural-Path Dr. and get his advice on this.
