^ all quite interesting.

Vitamin D update though - have been taking very high doses of Vitamin D, around 10,000/week for more than a year. Talking to several doctors (one of the MHH Hannover) they advised to immedately reduce the quantity now. Vitamin D is not harmless in a way that you can take as much as you want – it is not only about Calcium levels.

It is better to get the blood levels, stage up the D-level until the fat reservoirs are filled up with Vit. D again, and then stop.
Also better to take Vitamin D in the winter, since UV radiation during summer boosts the Vit. D level and can lead (together with pills) to an overdosage with resulting kidney insufficiency, and even failure.

Vitamin D is "good for you", but do not use too high doses over time, it can indeed lead to kidney failure and the need for regular dialysis.
