This is great, even though not the most up-to-date on Cummins and others findings.
Just a summary: eat meat + ruminant animal fats. Avoid sugar / carbs in all forms, also don't do high salt (due to endogenous aldose reducatase-fructokinase conversion), don't overdo exercise (esp. high HR/intensity), do OMAD/TOMAD and occasionally water fast (and if you want the rest of the benefits, dry fast). Plant phenols for immunity modulation and as autophagy/mitophagy inducers as needed, periodically and only for short time. And don't stress (emotionally) and get plenty of deep rest also (this is when body is repaired). And keep your natural active vitamin D/K2 levels high.
I guess my hydroxy vitamin d was 19.8 nmol/l. It was 43, 1.5 years ago, and I even attempted to get out in the sun more and take the odd supplement + minvitamin, so this was a real headscratcher for me.
Of course you cant get any vitamin d from the sun right now where im at, at least not very much anyway. I guess the uv index needs to hit 3 before you can hit full production, so I still have a couple more months at this latitude.
Formulated my own vitamin d plan, I dont think this is a wise idea. Low vitamin d is common in primary hyperparathyroidism.
I didnt want to do it, but I wont get help if I dont. So heres to hoping im not calcifying my body.
Doing about 10,000 units a day. 5000 in the morning with a multivitamin and usually a slice of cheese ( i guess fat helps to absorb it ). Then doing another 5000 and another multivitamin when I eat usually my only meal at dinner. Trying to make sure im eating nutritious meals in case I really was vitamin d deficient because then I should be low in other nutrients, but they keep checking things like my magnesium and manganese. Of course its fine. I was taking like 2-3 multivitamins at a time but they were giving me terrible pvc's. Had to stop. 1 seems to be ok.
Ive been doing this about a week now, and when the hell am I supposed to feel better. If anything my bones/joints hurt even worse :(.
Check your vitD receptor status. If you have high receptor count and they working, you may not need so high level of active vitD blood levels.
If you are getting plenty of full body sunshine with moderate to high UV(B) index and not burning yourself (and NOT wearing sunglasses!), your body ought to self-regulate.
If this does not help and megadosing on VitD3 supps (try fish based from Blue Bonnet in oil capsules or real untreated cod liver oil with standardised amount of real, non-artificial VitD3) only hurts you, then you need to check your autoimmune antibodies.
Also, if you are doing high VitD3, you NEED to take vitamin K2 (mk4) and magnesium so that hypercalcemia risk is downregulated. Also, if you have any kind of kidney disease (measure it, don't guess it), you need to go easy on the VitD3 AND measure your 24h urine collection for calcium levels, so you are not over-stressing your kidneys.
a close, long-time friend of mine died of a fairly rare cancer. his wife humble brags about all the experimental treatments they tried "for science", yet they didn't do shit in the way of some basic "fringe" treatments that have had success, simply b/c the mainstream journals/media shits on anything not espoused by Johns Hpkins or the Mayo clinic.

Swear this place is trying to kill me.

Bones hurting can be (is not always) a sign of growing hypercalcemia. This you can also easily/cheaply test for. With 24hour urine collection you can find the current "safe level" of extra vitd3 intake for your current kidney function.

A good functional doc knows all this and much more Godspeed.
Eh, “sugar in all forms.”🤔
Glucose is great for you in reasonable amounts. One cup of cooked rice or some organic grains, like oatmeal is really good for your cells.
Fructose without fiber is poison. i.e. one cutie orange vs equivalent weight amount in orange juice.
