I am avoiding sunlight very diligently before starting MP and facing extreme light sensitivity. I am wearing 10% NoIR inside and still feel photo sensitivity and it shows shows through kidney pain and frequent urination. Mine is a seven year old infection and extremely low 25D (<4 ngml). I am a vegetarian. I think 10% NoIR is not sufficient for indoor use as I can’t watch TV with other family members (contrast/brightness already low) and have problem using mobile phone . I wear eyeglasses and some times wear my dark UV protection prescription glasses (dark like NoIR) even this hurt my eyes and in turn the brain.
Now
-Will light sensitivity going to be worse after starting MP and how long will it take to be bearable. Then how can manage light sensitivity as I can’t wear any more glasses.
-NoIR quality is doubtfull as these have developed scratch just after one week with using along prescription glasses how can I minimize this. I am carefully using my Noir.
- Does this give any idea about is my immunopathologhy. Is it going to be worse than I think?
- My Phase II application is still pending with moderator even after a week. How long will it take?
Thanks

Light sensitivity is a very individual thing, but your reaction backs up your D results in showing you have Th1 inflammation. It will not always be this bad, but we can't make any promises as to how long it takes to improve.
There are two groups of members on this site: those who are also members of the MP study (who post mainly on the main study site MarshallProtocol.com and receive advice and support from medical moderators), and those who are on the MP independently, through their doctors. The MP study is now closed to new members. We would dearly love to be able to help everyone, but we have a very small band of volunteer nurses, backed up by a very small band of volunteer advocates.
All doctors are welcome to join the private Professionals' Forum (click for details) where all the help and support they need is available, as well as access to the whole protocol from the start. Those who are on the MP independently must refer to their doctor for medical issues, and learn to search the MP 'library' on the study site to find information.
Phases 2 & 3 of the MP are not available in the public part of the site, so you must ask your doctor to print you out a copy of the Phase 2/3 guidelines when the time comes.
All the information you need is in the MP 'library' on the main site. Here on this site the advocates are happy to act as 'librarians' to help you find what you need to know to make your MP journey a success. Please use the search facilities first to see if your question has already been answered - see How to do a site search.
Non-members might also enjoy reading the members' informal discussion board MP-Lifestyles.org.
There is no medical support available for independents, but you're welcome to ask non-medical questions that can be answered by more experienced members. Any medical questions exclusive to your own case must be addressed to your doctor. There is no need for independents to post progress reports, though you're welcome to drop in here sometimes and let us know how you're getting on.
We are very well aware that this situation is far from ideal for independents, but the only alternative we could see was to close the whole thing down to anyone who wasn't in the study.
Please make sure you know the following essential information thoroughly:
Phase1 guidelines - print one out for you and one for your doctor, and refer to it often.
* We can help you understand chronic disease, but only your physician is licensed to give you medical care * Always consult your physician before commencing or changing any treatment he/she has prescribed for you
