In The End of Alzheimers by Dr. Dale Bredesen advises a high level of vitamin D.
Vitamin D: target level 50- 80
I did not take any supplemental vitamin D for 3 months while I was traveling from July 16, 2019 to Oct. 8, 2019.
Thus I repeated my Vitamin D level after taking 2-4,000 units since Oct 8.
Since 2013 my vitamin D levels have been in normal range.
I will now maintain an intake of 4,000 units a day to get to the 50 range as Dr. Bredesen suggests.
I do this to prevent going below the normal level of 30 and it is inexpensive and something I have believed in for health for a long time.
In my geriatric practice I would check my patients while on 1,000 units a day after I did a loading dose. To my surprise they would be low in Vitamin D after winter. Thus in my book the Tubby Theory from Topeka I increased their daily dose to 2,000 mg a day. See excerpts below.
When I published my recommendation above for Vitamin D3 2,000 IU a day in 2010 my Lipid mentor admonished me for advising such a high daily dose. I based my therapy on clinical experience. I was one of few Doctors doing follow up Vitamin D levels. Time has proven my initial experience to be true.
New trial on Vitamin for Alzheimers.
