How best, besides no-more-D, to immediately reduce inflammation? Baby aspirin? Barry Sears Omega Rx Fish Oil, or is that a no-no? My D is 'back within range', according to my physician; retest in three months. I want to get it down to within the range you recommend by continuing to consume no more D.
I continue to manifest symptoms of inflammation named in your Phase I material. The deep arm and shoulder pain are the most unusual; I've never had any body malfunctions to speak of and these shout out at me now.
I am being checked out, stem to stern, by Duke Integrative Medicine locally, and am taking the MP Phase I and II with me there.
Meantime, how can I work to rid my body of inflammation?
Thank you,
Sandra Stanley

Definitely no fish oil...avoid vitamin D in foods and perhaps starting to cover up with hat and long sleeves would be a good start. What your physician will call "in range" for Vit. d will be quite different from what the MP will consider in range. So it can't hurt for you to start avoiding all forms ....there's lots of information on the MP Study site on how to avoid Vit. D.
Should I wear NoIRs, avoid natural light exposure and eliminate vitamin D before starting Benicar?

Aunt Diane,
Thank you for answering my first question. I will cease taking the fish oil. The initial standard, I'm sure, blood work indicated calcium, thyroid and kidneys to be 'okay'; the D registered 150; 'range' per my physician: between 20 and 100. I was at 10 when first given D as suuplement. I want to try and get it to between 5 and 12 as the data hereon indicates. Adelle Davis in her book, Let's Get Well (I believe) says to take 1000mg of C three times/day will help move excess D out of the system (within weeks). I do this, and it has caused a precipitous drop in the number.
I was on 50k IUs of D2 once/week from 12/07 until 9/08; then, accidentally (s/h said 'one drop twice/day'; actually said 'one dropper twice/day'-until discovered 2/10/09, I was taking 60kIUs daily. So, for the duration, I ingested around 4.3million IUs of D.
My main concern is long range problems. Brain lesions (?) (scary!); the brain fog is quite disturbing, but it is my simply loss of will, drive, etc.; I feel like an absolute zombie; apathetic, one meal a day is just fine with me. I have worked at high demand, precision work-numbers/data-and really want my little ole pea brain to continue to work for me!
I intend to take this information, which I printed off last night, with me to Duke Integrative Medicine. Thank you for the work you do.

How horrible to have overdosed! Thank heavens you finally realized the directions were wrong.
Make sure that you are very careful and avoid Vitamin D in your diet, which is the primary source of Vitamin D (as long as you are not sun-bathing.) Here is a food list:
http://autoimmunityresearch.org/VitD_content_of_foods.pdf
Also go to this link: http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum2/10823.html
It takes a while for Vitamin D to fall.
I would be very interested to know what Duke Integrated Medicine has to say about the Marshall Protocol and if they will support you with the MP.

Thanks, Diane. I appreciate your input.
I will certainly keep you posted. As perhaps you know, Duke Integrated uses a holistic approach, as you probably know. In speaking with them, I asked leading questions about how this group differs from the traditional medical community, and was told that they 'treat the whole person', including environment, etc. It is my expectation that there is an openness. Will know more after initial assessment, which will then indicate future direction.

| I have an Integrated Medicine Dr. in Asheville, NC helping me with the MP. I have noticed lately a new discipline springing up at hospitals, even here locally, for Integrated Medicine but I wonder how open they can be when tied to a traditional hospital.

Diane,
I am pleased to know about you and your MD in Ashville. I'm going to keep it in mind. I want to come out of this as pristine as I can. I do tend to project sometimes too positively. I am hopeful, and willing to work hard to salvage my health. It's tough when you feel so draggy, then the entrophy of just lying aroung has to be overcome, etc. But I did a marathon in Dublin in 2002; I can quest once again, with a second one to commemorate the overcoming of this!
Sandra

May I ask the name of your physician in Ashville? Budgetary constrainsts have precluded my getting going with the follow-up to see how I am doing now that the D is back to within range. I am just now taking steps to get myself checked out stem to stern and want to be pointed in a good direction.
Thank you,
Sandra Stanley

Hi Sandra,
Welcome to the MP.
Did you have your 1,25-D Checked?

I have had the normal physician's panel done where the levels of D are checked; the answer I got was that the D (?) was 155, first check; last check three months later: 52; I am continuing to avoid D foods and sunlight in order to get markers down to within the MP 5-12 range.
I have made plans to be checked out by Duke Integrative first available appointment (probably within one or two weeks). Don't know if they will do the MP. I have learned of a physician in Ashville who will if Duke won't. I am taking it one step at a time; example: if Duke tests me 'stem to stern', but won't do the MP, I'd like to know in advance that I can take their test results to the Ashville doctor for MP treatment if warranted. I am doing the due diligence as it were beforehand. Duke is close by and easier for me to access; however, if they won't do the MP (if it is warranted), then I'd like to know that the Ashville doctor will (and get his buy-in).
So this is the route I am taking to get started. I have printed off and read the entire MP; have taken copy of it to my physician and have one to take to Duke. I am aware of the particulars relating to specific D testing using only certain labs. To me this is step one.
I am keeping my local (Cary NC) physician in the loop, as she has done the lab work to this point (before I found the MP). She has my file. Whether or not she keeps it has not been decided at this point. She did not make the error in prescribing. A much beloved chiropractor/nutritionist/kinesiologist did. He is regarded here as a true healer who would never intentionally harm anyone, having devoted his life to healing. He has really helped me over the last twenty years. He and I are in touch and he is doing all he can to support me through this ordeal and to ameliorate the situation by treating me using his methods free of charge.
I appreciate your email, and invite guidance as I embark on this process. I have safeguarded my health to this point in my life, making it a priority. I want to make the smart choice now to restore my body to its former, optimal position; if possible, even better than before if that is possible.
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
As I am sure you have read, the MP was developed by Dr Marshall to treat intracellular and biofilm bacterial infection that cause chronic Th1 disease. Many very sick people with Th1 disease are having success treating their illness.
However, over the long term, I am convinced the MP will be the treatment of choice as a prevention protocol for people to use to maintain good health and avoid Th1 chronic illness and the diseases of aging. I am recommending it to all my family for this reason even though they may not have a serious illness at this time. The CDC estimates 90 million people in the US have chronic illness.
Hopefully your condition will fall into this category of prevention to regain your health. I am so sorry you have had to deal with such a serious mistake. The immune system is regulated to a large degree with the vitamin D nuclear receptor (VDR) expression of over 900+ genes. Excess concentrations of vitamin D can disrupt the VDR homeostasis along with many of the other nuclear receptors.
There has been a lot of activity by the Autoimmune Research Foundation (ARF) to bring the MP to mainstream medicine, however; it may not be a household word yet. I have provided some links below you may want to use to help explain the MP to your doctors.
I look forward to following your progress to complete recovery. Please keep posting.
Gene
