Ray Peat says he doesn’t recommend any supplements long term, but rather for particular issues and to take them until the issue is resolved, so it is not surprising that vitamin D would be any different. The rosemary unblocking vitamin D receptors is a new one I hadn’t heard. I have grown my own rosemary too for years, and think highly of it, because it healed my heart situation, which was really an adrenal situation, but nevertheless it kept me from taking the heart pills I was prescribed, the rest of my life. I wonder now if it was a vitamin D problem that I had. I am going to look more into this rosemary benefit. It puts a whole new twist on people taking vitamin D. If you can’t use it then what is it doing to the body, especially in high amounts? It makes more sense using it topically. Taking it short term for autoimmune conditions makes sense in this context.If some of that seems interesting, check out some of Jim Stephenson Jr.'s work over at Secosteroid Hormone D Face Book group, or check out some of Trevor Marshall's work on line. I used to take oral D, but now only do the sun and foods with D {not CLO, ahhh!}. I think their perspective and science makes a lot of sense, and probably why Ray did not use D orally as well. Like I said in the other post, oral D short term may be okay for suppressing an auto-immune response, etc., but I think in the long run it is problematic. This has been my current thinking, and so far, I have not been convinced to supplement D orally, at least for me anyway.
