Looks like you can buy vitamin D3 in 50,000 IU capsules:

The questionable issue about this vitamin D treatment is that MS is a disease known for its spontaneous remissions, so this is not the best autoimmune disease to test this treatment on, as in any group of MS patients, you will get a percentage of spontaneous remissions, and patients spontaneously improving.
If this treatment were effective for other autoimmune diseases that were not known for spontaneous remissions, like type 1 diabetes, that would be more convincing.
It also seems dubious that Dr Coimbra says in the video that he will not perform a double-blind trial for his treatment, saying that it is unethical not to treat the control group of patients; he says he does not want to withhold this vitamin D treatment from any patient. But of course without a double-blind trial, the wider medical community will not pay much attention to his work, and as a result, millions of patients will not get his treatment.
