Blog post from Saturday, two days ago
---------------------------
I’m amazed that my diabetes started as a simple D3 deficiency. I’ve had trouble sleeping properly ever since getting diabetes, and whenever out of the sunlight for days on end, and my health problems are all linked to the deficiency, since D3 protects against cavities, acne, diabetes type 1 and 2, and cancer. If you get a tumor anywhere or have/start to get diabetes, google ‘Vitamin D and diabetes’. The doses need to be between 5,000 iu to 10,000 iu for effective treatment, and D3 is not toxic in high doses, like D2. Researching online says that high doses can improve diabetes type 2 (adult onset) and reverse it entirely, with weight loss. Either way, your problems if you have diabetes of both types are a lack of D3. This is AGAIN something not to try without your doctor’s cooperation, and takes months, as the body absorbs the protohormone (D3). MOST doctors confuse D2 which was researched in the 1910-1940 studies, which is toxic in small doses. D3 has only been studied since the 1990s, and is still poorly understood, but vital against cancers, immune disorders, diabetes, kidney issues, and pretty much every organ in the body.
Learn more about it at VitaminDCouncil.org.
Type 1, however, develops when you have both had a severe deficiency of D3, AND undergone months of high stress. If you are still in your honeymoon phase, (3~4 months after diagnosis), start high doses immediately until your insulin needs go down, and do it in cooperation with your endo/doc. Look up a proper, scientific article on it to show to him/her.

Forum post on Sunday, after the stores opened
--------------------------------------
I'm doing the 50,000 units of D3 treatment suggested by another forum member here. I've been sleepless/mostly sleepless for a week as well.
Here's my history of insomnia:
http://www.illys.net/2011/01/02/hubbys-skeptical-but-positive/
I have 5 more groups of 5 x 30mcg /~ 1,000 ie in front of me, and I had 5,000ie earlier today without a problem.
I'm taking the groups of 5 at 10-20 minute intervals, and I'm getting sleepier as the moments go.
Toxicity information is here:
http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/vitaminDToxicity.shtml
I reccommend 10,000 ie daily against the insomnia coming back for a month, and 5,000 ie daily with your multivitamin.
Go forth and flourish. ;)

Forum post from today, 13 hours after first deficiency treatment dose
------------------
It's now the day after I took my first megadose of D3. I took a total of 50,000 ie/500 mcg of it (cholecalciferol) in those blasted 30 mcg/1000 ie pills, and within 2-4 hours I had a huge burst of energy, and after 6-8 hours had incredibly heavy desire to sleep.
I have found that 5-6 Baldrian-B/Mandrake extract tablets increase the sleepness to the point of being able to break through the insomnia.
Insomnia is namely caused by two factors, lack of sufficient B-vitamins across the scale, and D3-vitamin deficiency as indicated by earlier posters on curezone.
So I bought myself a B-complex supplement too. Other than the D3 which is not found nearly sufficiently either in fish oil tablets (it is cleaned from the oil in processing to avoid any possibility of overdosing on A or D3), cold liver oil, or eggs. Fish liver oil has 1,3 mcg per tablespoon of D3, eggs have a smaller dose than that in the yolk.
I have had no toxicity from megadosing on D3, and am continuing to dose myself according to the reccommendations on ' http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
'.
Vitamin D3 deficiency also presents as manic depressive, schitzophrenia, bi-polar disorder, and anxiety disorder in my family. I am currently experiencing what they call mania/obsessive behavior, in which the person effected hardly sleeps, jumps from one train of thought to another, cannot calm their thoughts, and obsesses over one thing or another. Both my mother and my sister suffer this swing in moods in the winter and fall when their sun exposure is lowest, and D3 levels plummet in their blood.
At the highest levels of solar exposure I am totally normal. Inadequate D3 levels also present with extremely high sugar cravings and carbohydrate cravings. Splurging on hi-fat, hi-carb food will result in heavy moodsings and heavy negativity/lashing out in frustration, confusion, disagreeability and cravings for more simple carbohydrates to get back the feeling of well-being after the rush of the first calories is done.
Thus, the fundemental reasons for varying levels of bi-polar disorder and it's many forms.
My mother has been on varying levels of lithium and other prescription drugs since 1983 in the search for a way to normalize her violent moodswings and difficulties. The heavy moodswings and vitamin deficiency has resulted in heavy weightgain and the various joint pain, and most recently, her struggle to avoid adult-onset diabetes.
My sister developed anxiety disorder at the same time I developed diabetes type 1, suffering the same pronounced lack of D3 vitamin from adequate exposure to the sun. We were both always inside at those points in our lives, and we still are, pretty much through and through. My sister suffers much less from the vagaries of moodswings, as she is active and out with large amounts of walking when the mood hits her.
I shared the news about D3 the moment I watched

Both will be starting on the normal dose of D3 recommeded from the most current research on D3 and what's recommended on vitamindcouncil.org this week.
My own dose is at the upper limit of what the D3 council site recommends, which is for severe deficiency. I have had insomnia the past week, with shorter and less sleep through the end of november and december, as we've been snowed in for weeks here. I can link later to the wikipedia article I have composed on all the factors that fit in to type 1 diabetes and the research I have read on it through the years.
On the other side of the spectrum, my father has been an indoor worker for years now, and only in the most recent years been out in the sun a great deal more. He still has extremely intense gastrointestinal issues with GERD which is managed with avoiding certain foods at evening meals, and he burns incredibly easily in the sun. D3 is a huge factor in the skin's defenses against UV A rays, and because of his high sun sensitivity he has not been able to get enough solar exposure to allow his skin to form the freckle/pigment layer of the skin that is the caucasian/redhead mechanisim for creating D3 AND protection against UV A. It's UV B that forms the skin's D3 mechanisim.
D3 deficiency can also present as gastrointestinal disorder, as it is heavily used in the digestive system.
Cancer as well. I am an amputee of the left hand (below elbow) due to a Giant Cell Sarcoma that formed in my left ulna three years after I developed Diabetes Mellititus.
See Dr Pendergast (Endocrinologist) on vitamin D on youtube, 4 mins.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYsXQ16Ztg
Joe Pendergast posits that the large blood vessels that form around tumors in order to utilize D3 on the cancerous cells, namely to remove the tumor. Again, read research on http://www.vitaminDcouncil.org
to confirm.
There are however certain types of cancer that D3 supplementation does -not- correct. This information is on the D3 council page. See the link 'cancer' to see specifically which types are aided by high D3 supplementation.
As suggested by this site, blood type has a major factor in which foods are highly effective for best health for each individual. Supplementation with B-complex vitamins and A vitamins (Which are best called parahormones!) cannot overdose you, but you will not reach peak effects until you are on the foods best for you and off simple carbohydrates.
"Sugars increase our body's production of adrenaline by four times, which puts the body into a state of 'fight or flight' stress, without anything to fight or flee from , except the consumption of sugar. This stress reaction increases the production of both cholesterol and cortisone. Cortisone inhibits immune function.
Sugars lack the vitamins and minerals required for their own metabolism. To be metabolized, sugars must draw on our body's stores of these nutrients. The more sugars you eat, the more vitamins and minerals you need.
It can leach B, C, D vitamins, and those minerals:
calcium, phosphorous, iron, selenium, zinc, chromium, vanadium, tin, boron, bismuth, rear earth elements etc. from our teeth, bones, and tissues.
As these are depleted, our body becomes less able to carry out other functions that require minerals and vitamins to be present: to metabolize fats and cholesterol; to convert cholesterol into bile acids for removal from our body through the stool; or to burn-off excess fats as heat or increased activity. As a result , our cholesterol level rises; our metabolic rate goes down; fats burn more slowly; gall stones are crystallizing in or liver; we feel less like exercising, and our weight is increasing. We have already started walking our way to cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases."

That's enough typing for me now.
God bless!

More to follow in subsequent blog posts as the information is more researched and solid. Current plans are 50,000 ie/1,250 mcg dose once a week and 10,000 ie/ a day, with all other vitamins and supplements provided by diet, alternating days between high polyunsaturated fats and high protien one day, and complex carbohydrates the next day with very low fat content.
Diet is high-quality protiens of fist-sized portions, olive oil, nuts, cracked wheat/seed bread, vegetables of all types and fruits of all types, and nuts and seeds, specifically pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and almonds/macadamia nuts. High quality protiens are eggs, fish, fowl, insects... Insects are the best, but I would have to get spring crickets at a petshop and start keeping my own in a tank.
Fortunately I'm rather well stocked-up on the nuts. My one question is if I will now absorb calcium from the groundwater here, as it is extremely high calcium? It's the best water ever since I left the states, but the swings in sunshine are so wild here...
My goal is to run only on basal insulin one day and have small meal boluses the next day, to eventually wean off after having C-Peptide tests with my endocrinologist.
By the way, I'm at 98kg/216lbs currently with an HBa1C of 0,084 (09 of september 2010), C-peptide of 18pmol/l (21 of october 2002), BMI of 34,36 kg per squaremeter, and S-LDL (Bad) is at 2,7 mmol/l and S-HDL (Good) at 1,4 mmol/l.
An equal balance of those cholesterol levels is one of the goals too.
