Re: The Truth About Vitamin D

>>As with most chronic diseases, fibromyalgia is an illness in which L-form bacteria create proteins that prevent the VDR from transcribing the enzymes needed to keep 1,25-D in the correct range.[39] But since the researchers who conducted the study failed to test the level of 1,25-D in their subjects, they focused solely on the diminished level of 25-D and were, it seems, completely oblivious to the actual disease process. This led them to incorrectly conclude “Vitamin D deficiency is common in fibromyalgia and occurs more frequently in patients with anxiety and depression.”

In a similar study, published in 2003 in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, researchers in Minneapolis tested vitamin D levels in patients suffering from chronic, non-specific, musculoskeletal pain: 93% of them turned out to be vitamin D “deficient.”[40] If these studies’ authors can’t understand the process, it’s easy to understand how other researchers who look over their results would interpret the data to mean that patients with fibromyalgia need to consume even more 25-D, in order to correct the so called “deficiency.”>>
