Hello, 
I am writing this for my 15 year old daughter, who has been very tired for almost three years now. We finally got around to find a pediatrician,who is examining her very thoroughly and I received the vitamin D metabolites test today, over the phone.
Her 25-D is 19,4 (european measurements) and her 1,25-D is 129.
My name is Lottis and I am about to start the MP as soon as I have filled in my questionnaire and sent it to you, but I am very concerned that my daughter will get on the treatment together with me, at the same time. I have three pair of NoIR's and we can manage until we have ordered more of those.
Her symptoms are all of those that are included in the CFS, according to Dr Leonard Jason on the DVD from Chicago 2005. Included the low count on the neutrophiles.
Is it possible or even advisable that we start at the same time?
/thank you for your help!
Lottis

Lottis,
Your 1,25-D is elevated at 58.3pg/ml (the population average is 25-29 pg/ml). It is 3.08 sigma high and based on population studies, 99.90% of the population would be expected to have a lower number.
Her1,25-D is above the maximum of 45pg/ml listed in the Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy (15 Oct 2006 online). At levels above about 42 pg/ml, the 1,25-D (generated by the Th1 inflammation) begins to stimulate bone osteoclasts, causing bone to be resorbed (dissolved) back into the bloodstream. Not only does this lead to osteoporosis, but also to calcium being deposited into soft tissue of the body, including the lungs, breasts, and the kidneys (where it forms kidney stones). Please see Osteoporosis, osteopenia and Th1 illness.
Her level of elevation might suggest inflammation in major organs such as heart, liver and lungs.
Her 25-D of 7.6ng/ml is low for someone who has not been diligently avoiding ALL Vitamin D in their diet.
Because 25-D is immunosuppressive, she still needs to avoid ALL sources of Vitamin D to keep it down to a therapeutic level of 12ng/ml or less. Please see Foods To Avoid and The importance of avoiding vitamin D.
"The 25-D seems to be the most critical factor as to whether the immune system is able to start working. Any level of 25-D above about 20ng/ml is likely to be acting as an immunosuppressant, with an action very similar to that of corticosteroids." Dr. Trevor Marshall, Ph.D.
Your daughter's D-tests, diagnosis and symptoms indicate Th1 inflammation. Please see Symptoms of Hypervitaminosis-D and you may recognize a few more. She will not get well and her health will continue to deteriorate if you don't treat the underlying bacterial cause of Th1 inflammation with the MP. Please see Is the MP an applicable treatment for my disease?
Most supplements and many medications must be avoided on the MP.
Our clinical study is temporarily closed to enrollment. As vacancies occur, we will admit subjects based on an application. To obtain an application forum, please send an email to marshallprotocol2@yahoo.com with 'request MP application' in the subject line.
Whether it is best to both start at the same times depends upon your responses to treatment. Sometimes people can have very strong reactions so in those having a caregiver or support person who is not so sick can be helpful.
best, P.B.

Thank you very much for your advise!
I will just start the MP myself at this point and see how it goes.
But she really needs some immediate support in her disease, so I am wondering if getting on the olmesartan alone, for a while, will help her. She has very bad migraines which she has to have a better treatment for.
Right now we are trying naproxen, but I would prefer an angiotensin II blocker, and I guess getting on an ordinary low dose of olmesartan would not be helpful for her, as it made me myself very sick indeed. I have read about other cases that getting on the olmesartan on high doses, took the migraine out.
She has had this bad migraine since she was six years old and it typically comes in periods, it is not there all the time.
/Lottis

The MP can be very helpful for migraines in most, and the higher dose olmesartan alone can be very helpful in controling migraines in a great many. She would still need to do the antibiotics in time. Some may find that NOIR sunglasses can help control migraines as well.
