Hi I havave been on the mp for 6mths and am in phase 2. My 16 yr old daughter has been unwell for 12 mths . I suspected she may be suffering also from a cbw infection so I decided to ask mp dr to do her d tests. They were 125,D 68 25D 56.
He said these were ok but I would like your view. She has been diagnosed with glandular fever 2wks ago after a bad bout of tonsilitis that did not respond to pennicillan.
Thanks Tracy

 Thanks P Bear,
I had posed the results without converting them. The converted results are 125,D 68 pg/ml and 25D 23 ng/ml. My MP doc says these are normal but I just wanted your input. Shen has not been supplimenting vitimans of any form. He said the ratio was good.
Thanks Tracy
The samples were frozen

Sorry Tracy, I deleted my above post. Since you are from Taz I will assume the unconverted numbers are for the units 1,25D (pmol/L) and 25D (nmol/L) ? The 68 pmols/L would then convert to 28.3ng/ml and the 56nmols/L would be 22.4 ng/ml.
Your daughter's 1,25-D is average at 28.3 pg/ml. The population average is 25-29 pg/ml and it is above-average 1,25-D levels (hypervitaminosis-D) that cause many troublesome symptoms. If lab was not frozen the result would have been much higher and would then indicate TH1 inflammation. If you daughter has an accute case of glandular fever then 1,25-D level would be significantly lowered due to viral infection, and she could still be infected with CWD forms. Extremely low levels (below 15pg/ml) suggest a severe viral infection; but if one had CWD and acute viral infections then the levels could be average and hide the possible diagnosis of L-form infection. I myself was diagnosed twice with glandular fever when young and I turned out to have a significant L-form load.
25-D of 22.4 ng/ml would be fairly average for western style diet. If her 1,25-D lab may have been in error or masked by viral infection, then because 25-D is immunosuppressive, she would 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.
Her results might be viewed as ambiguous due to acute and severe viral infection skewing 1,25-D results. You have the option to retest when viral load is less or to do a therapeutic probe which would also be a good indicator of CWD infection.
best, P.B.
