Perhaps, and taking a normal OTC dose of vitamin D might be prudent. My argument here is exclusively with regards to encouraging people to self-medicate at higher-than-OTC doses when they don't even know that they need such a dose in the first place. Encouraging people to pop 10x 5,000 IU pills seems like a recipe for disaster.
