Why the hell would you do that?
Looks like ~4000IU a week is plenty, even with no sunlight exposure.
You're looking at like 13x the recommended intake; that's going to screw up your calcium levels eventually. And the stuff is cumulative, it's not like eg. vitamin C, which is gone from your system a day later.

If you haven't, then quit fucking with it.

I just wonder why someone would continue to do it...

StoΓ is push or shove
That makes a lot more sense, come to think.
TIL my kid's paediatrician couldn't speak german either :D
Ah well they tried hahaha
We were more of a "schlepp(en)" family
