Vitamin D helps those with MS, other diseases:

I have a lady friend with MS and we are always on the lookout for help. She is my wife's bf from childhood, now living in central Ohio. Centerburg in fact🙂

I am currently taking quite high dosage Vit D tablets (with calcium) and have done for years but only because I seem to be unusually prone to Vit D deficiency and I used to get pain in my bones when I didn't take extra amounts.
Perhaps by doing this, I have been inadvertently protecting myself from such conditions such as senile dementia as I get older? I have heard evidence that dementia is also an autoimmune disease so maybe taking extra Dit D would also help to protect from that.
