Are you a doctor? Did you sleep late on the day they discussed vitamin D toxicity? [1]

Munchausen by proxy [2], maybe she could become a permanent resident as a widow, maybe greed/money, maybe he got the wrong flowers on her birthday and she's a psychopath.

- Terr_ 2y agoI think the most charitable explanation is that parent poster has confused Vitamin D (fat-soluble, can accumulate) with Vitamin C (water-soluble, excess easily flushed)... although that is still a rather serious error in this context.
- genewitch 2y agohis blood serum levels of vitamin D were four times the level that is considered "the absolute upper bound of safety" - he had 600ng/ml, the number i speak of is 150ng/ml. Science (from 2011 on) is pointing at ~100ng/ml to be "effective buffer / margin for hypercalcemia" - he was six times that much. and as i mentioned in a different unrelated thread, if any doctor suspected Vitamin D overdose, they would have prescribed vitamin K, which offsets the calcium "deposits".
