According to John Jacob Cannell MD of the Vitamin D Council,
" There is a growing literature suggesting that vitamin D may not just help asthma, but may cure it. In my experience, how long it takes to help asthma depends on how long you have had asthma. Adults with asthma should take 10,000 IU per day and shoot for a 25(OH)D of around 100 ng/mL (250 nmol/L). Children with asthma should take at least 2,000 IU for every 25 pounds of body weight, also shooting for a 25(OH)Dof around 100 ng/mL (250 nmol/L).
After the asthma disappears, slowly reduce your asthma meds under the supervision of your doctor, then slowly reduce the dose of vitamin D to standard doses of 5,000 IU/day for adults, and 1,000 IU/day for every 25 pounds of body weight in children, keeping 25(OH)D levels between 50 and 80 ng/mL (125–200 nmol/L)."
