Join Vitamin D Study to Prevent Breast Cancer

My father has stage IV cancer and I'm trying to treat him with a sufficient amount of Vitamin D. Currently I am giving him 10,000 IU of vitamin D with liquid drops under the tongue. But I see that you advocate the spray, haven't heard you mention the liquid drops though. Is this sufficient? I am also a bit confused, if I switch to the spray, I would only give him 8 sprays? That seems far from the 50,000 IU daily that you have suggested. Am I understanding it correctly that if I want to use the spray, then I must administer 5,000 IU's, because the spray makes it equivalent of 50,000?
