I don't think its vit D alone that caused remission. From my website
http://spondylitis.homestead.com/files/index.htm"Vitamin D supplements: I measured vitamin D, 25(OH)H and found it was too low. I tried various supplements including cod liver oil, Bio-D-Mulsion, Vit D supplements at say 2000-3000 IU/day for . Unfortunately the inflammation (ESR) did not reduce."

I don't believe it is immune suppression ( due to sunshine) that caused remission. I don't get any viral/infection attacks anymore than my co-workers/family members. I did not use any antibiotics for a very long time ( say 5-10 years.).
Earlier did some literature survery and document here ( not doing much these days):
