It seems like half of the patients in the cloudy Seattle area have 25-OH Vitamin D levels below 32. I do treat them, but, then, I used to treat everyone with Vitamin E, and used to treat people with high homocysteine with folic acid. I guess I will never learn . . .

A reply based upon some evidence base would probably be better than a twice bitten, now shy tale.
