I had a vitamin D deficiency for nearly a year -- starting last year around the holidays. My oncologist put me on megadoses of Vitamin D (50,000 I.U.s) - one pill a week & I was monitored for 3 month intervals. Also I was told to drink/eat more dairy (ha ha ha ha -- not happening since I'm lactose intolerant), eat more broccoli (I think it tastes fine, but unfortunately, my stomach doesn't like it), sit out on the sunshine. So as of this past September ... my vitamin D count has finally leveled off -- now I just take Caltrate 600 twice a day.
