Yes, yours is likely a more appropriate dose for the general population. Cancer is such a difficult hurdle to overcome, that we in my medical practice go further in dosing. I say we, although I never had cancer (where's some wood I can knock on), but I do the equipoise thing along with the patients.

I assume your equipoise reference is seeking some sort of equilibrium, not the steroid. I've read we can't really overdose, but it seems likely there's a saturation point somewhere. I've heard healthy skin can produce up to 25,000 per day. Maybe that's for surfers or nudists? Or our evolutionary ancestors? Maybe we were designed for higher levels than we typically see these days. I'm wondering if I'm a slacker for accepting readings in the 50s, with "only" 4000 IU supplement.
My September test was 53. If I add 2000 IU it should put me in your zone. I'll let you know in a few months. I was 75 in March but dialed back to target 50. I hadn't studied it well enough. I agree higher is better. My lab says normal range is 30-100. Seems like the covid experience should make them want to raise that.
Sorry to resurrect an old discussion, but the context seemed right. I'm having some problems that might be magnesium related, so I'm rereading Carolyn Dean's Magnesium Miracle. I had problems before with heart rhythm when I found Dean, increased mag considerably, found I was overdosing oxalate so switched from vegan to carnivore. Heart settled down, reduced mag from 2000 to 1200. Now I'm getting morning ankle cramps, especially after hard workouts, which respond well to mag oil, so I'm increasing mag but wondering if something else is eating my magnesium. Carolyn says vitamin d activates calcium which competes with magnesium, and the cramps seem to have started when I began increasing D. So I'm trimming calcium and D to see if that helps the cramps. I've never had an rbc mag test, which Carolyn asserts is the only accurate way to determine mag deficiency. I'll get that done soon.
Do you supplement mag for your high dose D patients, and have you seen mag related symptoms?
I want to keep my D up, and I miss spinach, but the mag deficient symptoms are more troubling. I guess we can't have everything.

I like vitamin D levels between 70 and 100, but this fat-soluble vitamin doesn't hang around enough in the blood for adequate test reliability
