Hi Joey, looks like we started the Marshall protocol about the same time. Good to hear that you are doing well too.

I wanted to address the Vitamin D concerns. Your body requires the active metabolite of Vit. D namely 1,25-(OH)2D. It is easy to maintain levels of active vitamin D, from even small amounts in the diet or minimal sun exposure.

Study 2

(People on the MP have high active D levels, despite avoiding sunlight and all foods with vitamin D)

Research is coming out that rickets can be cured without Vitamin D. Rickets is showing to be an autoimmune disease, and vitamin D only helps the symptoms (being a seco-steroid it suppress the immune system).

Rickets

For concerns about bone density, vitamin D does strengthen bones at very high levels, but it is a drug like effect. Most people on the MP, have bone density improve with overall health, even though avoiding vitamin D for years.

I don't want to get the thread off topic, my only point is, the information is out there .... but it is complicated .... it takes many months to read and understand. But if you do, and if you decide for yourself that Dr. Marshall really understands this, it means that 90% of conventional and alternative medicine is just a treadmill to help you "feel better". I sympathize with the opening poster - I always wondered why some people can abuse their health for 20-30 years and remain healthier than me, who needs to follow an exact diet / chiropractic / exercise / supplement regime - just to feel halfway healthy.
