I cannot explain it nor can I seem to replicate the results at home....

particularly in the winter. I know that there must be something in our current

'indoor' environment of winter that affects him but I have been unable to ferrit

out the offensive culprit.

Have you looked into supplementing Vitamin D3 for Mark? The fact that

he does so much better " in the sun " but less better at home in the

winter months (much less sun exposure in general) suggests lowered

Vitamin D levels. People who live further north or in less sunny

climates have even more issues.

There a new group that discusses this and has posted a number of

articles on the subject...here's the link
