Vitamin D

Hi everyone!

Springjeans, the vit D brand you are on might be a problem for you.  It might have a preservative or something that you are having a negative response to. 

I have been using Dr. Mercola's sunspray, has anyone else tried that?

I am so confused, honestly, as many doctors are split regarding Vitamin D. Trevor Marshall's understanding of D and cell wall defficiency lends one to believe that we should not be supplementing with it and we should be avoiding the sun.

This is similar to the discreptency with Magnesium.... I think I understand this to go something like this: take a little and it feeds the bug; take a lot and it feeds the bug AND the person. 

Nothing is black and white with Lyme, sheesh.

Well, about vitamin D "feeding the bug", the truth is, all of our supplements "feed the bug". So what are we to do, stop taking all of our supplements? Where do you draw the line? I mean, even good, healthy nourishing food "feeds the bugs".

Like CajunGrl said, if we don't have enough vitamin D in our bodies, we are left with horrible symptoms when our bodies lack this important vitamin. Seems were da----d if we do and da---d if we don't. I think the evidence for us lymies is pretty convincing, if we're low in vitamin D, we need to be taking it. However, I think it's important we be tested at least every three months to make sure we don't get too much of it or it can become toxic.

wow, this thread has so much info ,I can' make heads or tails. I read in susan Summer book last year that her doctor said if you don't break out a sweat when in the sun you won't get the vitamin D and also he said don't put anything on your skin you can't eat.

What I really want to know is the Marshal protocal saying NOT to take vitamin D supplements ?? I was reading the Marshal thing in a book yesterday and thought that is what he was saying.

Can someone please tell me yes or no with the Marshal protocal.??

and you know what, Razzle, I think it keeps me up at night too??? but it could be other reasons.
