Re: Vitamin D & MP

[Guest guest]

There are a lot of questions surrounding the MP. Scientists whose work has been quoted by the mp proponents, have stated that their findings were not interpreted correctly. Its creator is someone who censors and/or sues those who disagree with him, so one can't help but wonder how objective the "research" is. Recently, Immune Support reposted an old article about the protocol, and incorrectly listed my name as one of the people who runs the MP website. Remarkable feat considering I've been banned from the official site for over 2 years. I just want to make it clear: Even though I took the ARB, Benicar, and feel it helped my inflammation a lot, I would not recommend the protocol to anyone. And in light of everything we've learned, I certainly wouldn't point to any MP "research" to support any vitamin D theories

whatsoever. As far as I'm concerned, some interesting questions about inflammation, the immune system, and vitamin D were raised. I'm grateful for that. But the negatives far outweigh the positives, IMO, and I'm looking to real medical research for some objective answers (as quickly as possible, I hope).

Using Vitamin D and/or Sun light is one way of boosting the immun system.Using abx is an other way of modulating the immun system.Remember what T M said about going up or down with abx dose to handle immunreactions.I have a friend that goes to Egypt(for Sunshine) for a week during november to get better from ME/CFS.He slow increases sun and physical activity during a week-10 days and feels much better when coming home./PerPenny Houle wrote:> You're right, Pert!
