So it's testing time once again :) I'd spiked my blood sugar during New Years Day gluttony and was exposed to sick people. I noticed the cold coming from increased sniffles on Jan 2nd and have been holding it at bay despite working out in the cold rain for a few days. In the past, I would have been down immediately from a cold! I hate to admit it, but I have a crappy immune system. I'm confident my now healthy gut & increased Vitamin D (about 6,250iu per day) dose is what's helped me hold it back as long as I have. I will be dosing about 800iu per pound, per day, and will report my condition & total downtime here. <hr /> <strong>Day 1: </strong> Woke up in the middle of the night with bad drainage & choking on phlegm. Energy low. 5:45am first dose of Vitamin D. Got up at 9am. Great energy the rest of the day considering being sick :) Dosage: Three 40,000iu doses spaced evenly throughout the day. Taken with butter or coconut oil. Total = 120,000iu <strong>Day 2:</strong> Slept well. Still congested with a mild headache, but drainage issue is mostly gone. Dosage: 9:30am 50,000iu - 3:00pm 30,000iu - 9:30pm 50,000iu Total = 130,000iu <strong>Day 3:</strong> Mild headache & dry sinuses/congestion during the night. Basically felt fine the rest of the day. Energy still good & has been. Tomorrow could be good to go! Dosage: 10:30am 50,000iu - Cold pretty much gone - 10:00pm 50,000iu Total = 100,000iu Blessed with a full blown head cold today at 3am. So it’s testing time once again :)
