Vitamin D Shot?!
Question: I am malabsorbtive. As a result despite prescription Vitamin D at 100,000 mg and over the counter dry vitamin D 200,000 mg I am not able to get these levels to a healthy level. My osteopath doctor wants to give me the Vitamin D shot. But none of the pharmacies are able to get the shot as the manufacturers no longer produce it because the profit margin is so low. She has suggested that I post to website like this to see if anyone has gotten the shot in the shot in the last six months?
What is the name of the Doctor who gave you the shot?
What is the name of the City and State where you got the shot?
She also has three patients who have cancer who need this shot, so you'll not only be helping me, you'll be helping the three cancer patients as well.

I havent had the shot personally but have you checked with the manufacturers personally? I was trying to some meds and was told by a few pharmacies that it had been discontinued but i contacted the manufacture myself and it hadnt and a pharmacy was able to get it for me.
Also i have a friend who works for Abbot Laboratories and im sure they make it, Its called Zemplar (paricalcitol injectable). They also make a version called Calcijex (calcitrol injection). Heres a link where you can contact them

I used to have deficiency of vitamin D when I was living in New Jersey. Now I live in Florida and I usually take some sun when I walk every other day. My doctor told me that I do not need it any more. The sun is the best supplier of vitamin D.
Can your doctor not give it to you at the hospital via IV? You should try calling the Cancer society , perhaps they can get you an extensive list of cancer clinics.
