"new research demonstrates that ingested vitamin D is immunosuppressive and that low blood levels of vitamin D may be actually a result of the disease process. Supplementation may make the disease worse. "
This article discusses new Duke University research showing a highly significant
correlation (p = 0.007) between higher vitamin D intake and MRI brain lesions
(http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/content/meeting_abstract/21/6/A1072), as well as the potential for
lesion reversal. These lesions have been associated with cognitive impairment, stroke,
psychiatric disorders and mortality. This article also discusses the levels of vitamin D and
calcium needed to avoid osteoporosis and vascular calcification in the light of new research on
blockage of the vitamin D receptor due to bacterial products and elevated 25D.
