Glad you posted on this Dave as I had no idea that iu varied from one substance to another!

Take a look at this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_units

"The precise definition of one IU differs from substance to substance and is established by international agreement for each substance. There is no equivalence among different substances; for instance, one IU of vitamin E does not contain the same number of milligrams as one IU of vitamin A.

To define an IU of a substance, the Committee on Biological Standardization of the World Health Organization provides a reference preparation of the substance, arbitrarily sets the number of IUs contained in that preparation, and specifies a biological procedure to compare other preparations of that substance to the reference preparation. The goal in setting the standard is that different preparations with the same biological effect will contain the same number of IUs."

Bob,

You, and others, should note that "IU" is not the same as "mg"...

1 mcg vitamin D (cholecalciferol) = 40 IU  (note this is 1 micro-grams)

1000 IU equals 25 micrograms  (note this is 25 micro-grams)

therefore, 50,000 IU is about 1.25 mg  (note this is 1.2 milli-grams)

Now, 1 mg is equal to 40,000 IUs and 50,000 mg is equal to 2,000,000,000 IUs

Thanks Garnet.   I've come to the realization that 50,000mg or more is ok
for short periods.

I guess if you did this every day for a long period of time it
could be a problem. But we are only talking about three
days. I don't know the mechanism but obviously it is to
kick the immune system into gear cause you are sick.

I am just quoting Dr McCandless on the dosing.

One recommendation is to start out with 10,000 iu D3 for
30 days, then 5,000 iu per day for maintenance. If you
get the flu take 50,000 iu for three days.

This is per the recommendation of Dr Jaquelyn McCandless
who is working with Low Dose Naltrexone for HIV and Autism.

Autistic kids have poor immune function according to her.

She also recommends LDN for all her patients over 60 as
a preventative and libido booster.

Marshall,

   How much D3 would you consume?  I take 5000mg as a preventative
every day.

C is good, but D3 is much better, and don't forget the CS.

For what its worth, I just came from a home where swine flu is
suspected, started feeling something come on very soon after getting home;
have been taking 30-40,000 mg vit c each hour since; the "head feeling"
keeps recurring, but subsides minutes after each dose. I've done this in the
past with success in modulating the flu so I was able to keep working with
only mild symptoms. ( I was not in a place with people; I worked alone)
  I must have something, because I have not had so much as a rumble
with all this c.
