Great interview about vitamin D in general, not just for those who have headaches.

Full transcript is here, and I put this post together from this video’s transcript: Vitamin D loading dose then 10,000 iu/day | MDs incorrectly taught RDA is enough

Story from the end:

2:00:55.8 Craig: I went and met my uncle for the first time. I’d not seen him since I was a young boy. And I said, “You’re married?” “I’ve got a wife, she’s downstairs.” I said, “Go and get her mate, I’d love to meet her.” And he said, “No, I’m sorry she’s got migraines, she gets really bad migraines. She just likes to stay in a dark room.” And I said, “Mate, just get her to take vitamin D.” And he gave me the look my doctor, everyone that I speak to about vitamin D, apart from yourself and a few select people, give me this look of, roll your eyes, you’re a snake oil salesman. But I sent the D3 to their house and a week or so later, I get a call from him and he’s saying, “Craig, what can we give you?” It makes me cry almost every time I tell the story, it’s like, Mate, I don’t want anything from you. It’s just good to know that she’s able to go outside and live a good life, amen to that, you know?
