Re: D ratios carries less significance

[Guest guest]

Correct,and that is why the testing must be done before starting to get

some sort of picture.If you are now on antibiotics and want to know what

your D levels are you have to stop it for a couple of week before.At

least that is the way I interpret things

The D ratio loses significance for nearly *everyone*. Not just for

those who are on MP. By their words, the D ratio carries less

significance, period, than D1,25.

Also, even if you want to give it value, even if you aren't on MP, you

need to be a person who does not take fish oils, or a multi vitamin

(which contains vitamin D),or any other vitamin D source. Also, even

before MP, the ratio doesn't have much significance if your D3 is above

15! That is a deficient state already.
