After having a quite serious illness, my Oncologist - of all people - discovered I had a Vitamin D deficiency that was below 10, which is ridiculously low. They then put me on 3000iu a day for one month, which didn't improve my plaque psoriasis at all, but did improve my mood and general well being. So after that, I did a little more reading and started supplementing on my own. I started dosing at 4000iu a day and gradually over a period of a month or so, increased my daily intake to 10,000iu a day (along with 200iu of Vitamin K2) and the improvements have been huge. While taking the Vitamin D, I was using Enstilar Foam.
The two together have cleared all my plaque psoriasis which at one point covered 90% of my body. I now carry on supplementing at the same dose, and if I see a spot to emerge anywhere on my body, I use Enstilar for one or two days and get rid of it.
The odd thing is that the Vitamin D hasn't helped my scalp psoriasis, but the Enstilar along with T-Gel does help with that. My scalp behaves very differently compared to my body.
I also in conjunction with the Vitamin D supplemented Cod Liver Oil.
Other benefits are that I generally feel better and more motivated, and my teeth feel stronger.
Why my the many "specialists" I have seen over the years never check my Vitamin D levels is beyond me.
But please, if you can, get your levels checked before you start supplementing.
Hope this helps.
