With regard to vitamin D, I think there are more people that would benefit from Vitamin D than there are MD's willing to recommend they take it and get the requisite blood work done to confirm appropriate supplementation rate.
However, in general, 20,000IU/day every day is quite high and should be done cautiously if at all.
