Hello all,
I got my results and I am posting them in order to have your feedback.
- Symptoms: Tired with no energy all day. Brain fog and difficulty to concentrate. Tinnittus, hair loss, heavy limps, feeling cold, sensitive to light, hypersalivation etc.
- Specimen Date: 21/07/2008 (The date the blood was drawn)
- A lab in Greece, I dont know the name (Which lab did the tests?)
- Yes (Was the 1,25-D sample was frozen for shipment?)
- About a week prior to test (How long have you been avoiding foods with vitamin D in them? )
- Not at all (How long have you been avoiding sun/lights?)
- Nothing at the moment (List all meds, supplements (both prescription and OTC) you have been taking and why.)
- From what I can remember NEVER (When and for how long have you taken prednisone or any other immunosuppressant in any form?)
- I used to take on and off multivitamins. Omega 3 I took about 1 month ago about 10 pills only. (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?)
- No. Dont sell it in my country :-( (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?)
- 25-OH Vitamin D 22.0 ng/ml (20 - 57 Method : RIA)
1,25 OH Vitamin D 20.0 pg/ml (15 - 75 Method RIA)
Remarks : Lipemic sample: Trig.=1144
- Signature: CFS/Adrenal insufficiency/heavy limps etc.
Thank you.
Tony

Tony,
I see nothing in your clinical picture to justify this low level of 1,25-D(20pg/ml). Extremely low levels (below 15pg/ml) suggest a severe viral infection such as AIDS or hepatitis. I would suspect the chance of lab error or inadequate transfer of sample since your level is so far from expected in one with CFS.
Although levels above 12pg/ml represent a dominant Th1 inflammatory response and disproves a dominant Th2 response, the population average is 25-29 pg/ml and it is above-average 1,25-D levels (hypervitaminosis-D) that cause many troublesome symptoms.

A level above 12pg/ml represents a dominant Th1 inflammatory response and disproves a dominant Th2 response.
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 22ng/ml is high enough to inhibit innate immune function. 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 elevation in triglycerides is often a sign of TH1 inflammation.
Your panel does not indicate; but your diagnosis and symptoms may well indicate Th1 inflammation. Almost all patients with CFS have responded as expected to beginning of MP. 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.
