Re:Caution Vitamin D3 and autoimmune disease

[Guest guest]

Oh no Madeleen!! Just when I thought it was safe to take the D!! I

had chronic fatigue at one time and once you have it, it doesn't go

away. So THIS could be the reason my Vitamin D level is so low? My

doctor wants me to take 2000 iu a day. And I thought - okay no

problem. But NOW THIS!!

for those who have an autoimmune disease, Chronic Fatigue,

Fibromyalgia, MS and RA. Important to have both 25-D and 125-D

tested.

dysregulation meaning they may have low 25D but high 125 D levels.

In that case, high calcium levels can occur resulting in bone loss.

The author Dr. Joyce Waterhouse claims that D dysregulation is

widespread in inflammatory disease where there is bacterial

involvement.

high levels of 125D. So be sure to have both 25D and 125D tested!
