What level of Vitamin D would you feel was acceptable?
You mention Vitamin D may "assist in Parkinson's recovery." "recovery?" I thought I was destined to a slow decline. I do admit that I feel better now that I'm on medicine (Azilect and Newpro), gluten free, more careful with diet, and fairly strenuous exercise program, and vitamin supplements (C, D, B12, Q10)
I only added specificity to give you an idea of where I am coming from. I don't expect detailed response, just general direction.
Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'm new as you can see from my post.
I'll order the book "Goodbye Parkinson's, Hello Life."
