Reader Remarks on:

Vitamin D and Health

D3 & Diuresis

T.F. Miller, 25 May 2009 9:27 PM EST

Competing interests: None declared

Over a six month trial 1000 Vitamin D3 has had a strong diuretic effect on me starting about three hours after ingestion and lasting about four hours. I am sure about this. No one else seems to think this is possible. I do not have the same effect with 1000 D2. I am a 70 year old Caucasian male with no other health problems except that I blood test low (25) for vitamin D

Vitamine D supplement

Competing interests: None declared

Dear friends, since many months now I take regularly Vitamin D, like 1000 to 2000 Units a day. Ever since I feel stronger and more balanced. No more fatigue or tiredness. I think seriously, that yes the US population is seriously depleted with Vit. D. I would start a National campaigne to promote more Vit. D use for very age, especially for our children and our elderly people. Thank you, with respect Csaba J. CSUKAS med. microbiologist P.O.Box 2182, West Sacramento, CA 95691

Vitamin D3, diuresis and eye blurriness

V L Chan, 4 Sep 2010 7:33 AM EST

Competing interests: I am a doctor with no competing interests

I took 6-7000 units a ay for 12 months, felt GREAT, energy and reduced fibromyalgia pains. Eye blurs, floaters and sudden acceleration of epithelial growth on lens capsule ensued, even macular traction and pucker. The latter reduced quickly and dramaticaly when Vit D withdrawn, within 5 days. on restarting maintenance vit D3 at 1000 units, diuresis, reduction of fibromyalgia pains occurred within a few hours and eye blurring within 24 hours. Has anyone else had the eye blurring problem? 25-OH levels are now at 50, was at 20 when I started.
