Hi David,
There's another moral of this story.
If you have Lyme, no matter what protocol on which you may choose to
embark, it's a good idea to try things and ramp them up very slowly,
no matter what anybody else recommends, and pay careful attention to
what your body, your die-off, your detox tells you. Each case of
Lyme&Co is unique, has damaged people in unique ways, and one size
doesn't fit all. We are all exceptional and must be very cautious to
find out what we can use and what should be avoided.
Be well,
Léna

I took 40,000units a day of EMULSIFIED vitamin D3 from biotics for a
length of 2 weeks. I did it at the recommendation of a lyme
nutritionist. I told her I thought it was bad for me, but she
convinced me anyway. In that time, me 25hydyoxy vit D levels went
from 20 to 102. The reference range is like 30 to 75. I believe
emulsified works much better than regular because of this experience.
So with people with infectious disease, some of them DO NOT do well
supplementing vitamin D. Some of them do do well though. The
explanation of why is called the Marshall Protocol, which sort of
partially succeeds in explaining it. This 25hydroxy vit D is NOT what
your body uses. Your body then converts it into 1,25 dihydroxy vit D,
which is a steroid hormone. This is the vitamin D you must also
measure, but no one ever does. In high levels, this vitamin D
SUPPRESSES the immune system.
Some bacteria have learned to accelerate this conversion of vitamin D
in order to suppress the immune system. So many people with
infectious disease have low levels of 25 hydroxy D but high levels of
1,25dihydroxy vitamin D. My levels for example of each respectvely
were 20 (low) and about 60 (borderline high). This indicates that
bacteria could have been converting one to the other. After
supplementing, it was GOING IN THE SUN that would make me very sick
for a few days. This is was people like me sometimes experience and
learn to keep away from vitamin D after that. Before taking vitamin D
the sun would not bother me nearly as much. That is the second
indication I had.
The third indication I had that vit D was bad for me is that I would
get some herx reactions from a drug named Benicar. It is a blood
pressure drug with an off label use in the Marshall Protocol. It
block the conversion of the 1st vit D into the 2nd vit D. Taking it
then lowers the levels of the second vit D, which UNSUPPRESSES the
immune system, which causes it to kill bugs and give herx.
The moral of the story: vit D is very good for most, but can be very
bad for some. Im getting into health consulting, and I am not
planning on ever recommending vit D to anyone without first probing
them for infections with CS or something else, or at least checking
BOTH their D levels.

My understanding about chocolate in dogs is that some are impacted
more than others AND there is a cummulative effect issue at hand. I
think it was something along the lines that dogs cannot process and
eliminate the chocolate and so small exposure will likely not harm but
repeated and often could. But I know of dogs who have consumed entire
bags of chocolate (say Hershey's Kisses or some such) and been fine in
the long run.
Vit D in large amounts is supposedly toxic for dogs too.
Too much of anything tends to be bad for you. Human, dog, cat,
mouse ...

Over the years ( I'm 75) I have given my dogs chocolate when ever I
ate some and they all lived an extraordinarily long life. It makes me
wonder if that has a basis in fact or if it was an old fable that has
been mindlessly repeated, like the 650 about CS's effectiveness?

This is bollocks, everything is a poison at high enough quantities,
even too much water can kill you. Vit D3 is safe at under 5000IU per
