Diagnosis or symptoms: Parkinsonism diagnosed end 2006. No right arm swing, some continuous muscle tension, some pain in legs, stiff neck, sweating when over 20°C, slower movements, some difficulties with writing, weight loss.
-The date the blood was drawn: 7 Aug 2008
-Which lab did the tests? Two unknown labs in the Netherlands
-Was the 1,25-D sample was frozen for shipment? I assume yes because I handed over the instructions.
-How long have you been avoiding foods with vitamin D in them? Since mid-June 2008
-How long have you been avoiding sun/lights? I do'nt like to be in the sun for a long time, but regularly there is exposure to arms and face (in many cases protected by factor 20+ creme).
-List all meds, supplements (both prescription and OTC) you have been taking and why. No meds & supplements for a long time.
-When and for how long have you taken prednisone or any other immunosuppressant in any form? None
-When and for how long did you take Vitamin D supplements (including any vitamin-mineral supplements), omega-3 supplements and/or any kind of fish oil?
None.
-Were you taking Benicar when the sample was drawn? No
-Were you taking an ARB or or an ACE inhibitor when the sample was drawn? No
1,25D 157 pmol/L = 65 pg/ml
25D 41 nmol/L = 16.4 ng/ml
My plan is to start Benicar in about 2 weeks time.

Jan,
Your 1,25-D is elevated at 65.4pg/ml (the population average is 25-29 pg/ml). It is 3.83 sigma high and based on population studies, 100 % of the population would be expected to have a lower number.
Your 1,25-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.
Your level of elevation suggests inflammation in major organs such as heart, liver and lungs.
When should I be concerned about cardiac symptoms?
Your 25-D of 16.4ng/ml, although not too bad, should ideally be lower. Because 25-D is immunosuppressive, you need to avoid ALL sources of Vitamin D to get 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 D-tests, diagnosis and symptoms indicate Th1 inflammation. Please see Symptoms of Hypervitaminosis-D and you may recognize a few more. You will not get well and your 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.
best, P.B.
