Tonyice,
Your 1,25-D is average at 26pg/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. Since you report many troublesome symptoms, either the lab result is in error or your paracrine (tissue) level of 1,25-D is much higher than the measured serum level. This sometimes occurs when the inflammation is in tissues not well perfused by blood (for example nerves, joints, skin). Lab error sounds quite possible.
You have the option to retest (which isn't necessary unless Doc insists) or to do a therapeutic probe which is our recommendation.
Your 25-D of 19.3 ng/ml is still high enough to dampen innate immune response. 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.
Although your labs are ambiguous, it could well be that your symptoms indicate Th1 inflammation. Please see Symptoms of Hypervitaminosis-D and you may recognize a few more. If the cause of your symptoms are TH1 inflammation then 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.
