Daughter and Caroldeleah,
Your 1,25-D is elevated at 37 pg/ml (the population average is 25-29 pg/ml). It is 0.84 sigma high and based on population studies, 79.95 % of the population would be expected to have a lower number.
Your 25-D of 28 ng/ml is high enough to mute 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.
Your other labs all look fine but I would recommend a Free T3 level be drawn. T4 and TSH levels can be fine but T3 levels can still be low.
THYROID DISEASE and Th1 inflammation
"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.
