Default Boost your own GDNF with vitamin D3

Is it dangerous to take excess vitamin D3? If not, members of this forum could simply set up their own survey to supplement with vitamin D3.

Here is an ongoing clinical trial for MS-
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00644904

Starting at 4,000 IU/day then titrating up to 40,000 IU over six months. Considering that the old RDA was 400 IU, there is a lot of room for change.

The MS community just found that MS is genetically connected to low Vit D levels. So the doses used for THEM are targeting that fact.

More info here;
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread89782.html

The really high doses for MS are being monitored by their physicians.
