Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have FMS and RA and my doctor has me take vitamin d. It has been shown in studies that those that have chronic pain diseases have low levels of vitamin d so we have a vitamin d deficiency. --- goobygirll <goobygirll@...> wrote: > Dear Group: > > I'm posting on my fibro and updating on > a treatment I am > currently on, just in case it helps anyone. > > I am on the Marshall Protocol treatment > (www.marshallprotocol.com).

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I fully agree with you. Studies are showing how deficient we are in Vit D. I briefly read this Protocol...it is taking about something with a mutation and the Vit D converting into a D that causes harm to the body. Don't know I buy it. I try to keep my eyes open because mainstream misses so much...but the flip is then there are claims that have no merit....I would sure be cautious with this protocol.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 In response to , who is trying the marshallprotocol? Do I understand that is includes ridding the body of vitaman D?, and U have found your symptoms have decreased? I was wondering where u were introduced to this?, from your Dr.? But I guess my wonder would be, if this is the treatment u are trying, and someone else I believe Kate, has posted she was just put on a Vitiaman D supplement to help with her syptoms? From what I have read up on and thought to be the problem with alot of people in our society we are lacking vitaman D, and that is why cancer, and alot of these diseases start and survive.???? It makes me wonder what is what. u also mentioned u were able to decrease your thyroid med?, I would be interested in hearing more on this if this is really a well investigated treatment, as I also suffer with hypothyroid along with my Fibro, and arthritis, I had my thyroid taken out and would love to get rid of some of these meds. Please keep me posted on your future weeks, but would like u to clear me on what it is your doing ommiting vitaman D or something else?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Over 5,000 people are on it right now. I brought it to my doctor, and he is on it now for sarcoidoisis. You don't rid yourself of all Vitamin D, just get it down to a certain level. Vitamin D and sunlight make people who are not on the MP feel better because it lets the bacteria that invade the white blood cells to " feel better. " The MP kills these bacteria which sometimes makes the person feel worse. Vitamin D is not really a vitamin, but a type of steroid. You can find a host of research materials that say Vitamin D is good, and bad. That's how it always is. Remember too for years researchers said that ulcers were NOT caused by bacteria, h. phylori? Well the researchers who proved it, and were laughed at, now have the Nobel Prize for Medicine... Now it is shown that about 95% of all ulcers are caused by bacteria. I have been on it three months and have been able to decrease my thyroid dose, have better mobility, less pain. I have up to possibly another 2 years or more to go. It's worth it to me, two years will come and go one way or the other. I try to limit ingestion of Vitamin D and folic acid, as well as prevent my skin and eyes from making Vitamin D by using special glasses and sunblock. There will always be someone to pooh pooh a treatment, I'm not saying that's bad, just saying there is always someone who will. For me, it's working. For others, it might not. I just think if it could help someone, I should pass the info along. I have no interest in convincing anyone to do it, as medical treatment should be an individual thing. However, don't let the fact your doctor knows nothing about it slow you down. I'm sure these doctors didn't know anything about h. pylori before it was proven to cause ulcers either. If you get on the MP board, the moderators will send you a list of doctors who do know about it in your area. > > In response to , who is trying the marshallprotocol?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ok..I've looked at some of the food part of it. I see that dairy and soy are on the no-no list. Taking soy alone out of your diet will help with thyroid function. Soy inhibits the thyroid function on the cellular level, I fully agree with them that soy is a bad thing! Vitamin D is a prohormone. However it is a hormone that God created your body to need. Yes, you are correct in that mainstream medicine misses the boat on some things, I full agree. The diet eliminates processed grains....well duh that's better for you. Low Carb diets often make hypo people feel better too. Yes, I agree..when some thing works..sharing is great......but this screams be very careful! Kate G Hashi's AS At 04:23 PM 2/5/2008, you wrote: >Over 5,000 people are on it right now.
