Hello Marshall, Doctors have a bias against supplements. They point out that there is no regulation for purity or quantity of therapeutic agent with them.
In addition, he had just become aware of the vitamin D issues this last summer and is still sorting through all of the information. At the time he thought that my levels were slow in rising which brought into question the quality of the supplement I was taking. I also think he was being a little impatient and wanted to see my go levels up---RIGHT NOW. He became aware of vitamin D when his nurse recently stubbed her toe against a file cabinet, cracked her toe, and it wouldn't heal. When he tested her for vitamin D, she was at 7. He was very aggressive in quickly getting her levels up and she healed quickly once her levels were in a therapeutic range. This prompted him to check everyone that was involved in his practice, and he found that about 90% of there were low. When I asked him why this wasn't checked last year, or the year before, he very sheepishly said that he didn't realize how much of an issue this was. He is very aggressive in keeping me healthy, as well as looking after everyone else that he is taking care of. I think the main reason was that my levels were not increasing at a rate that he was expecting, so he decided to kick them up a little with the prescription.
