Re: FIRST STEP-Take Vitamin D3 Before & After De-Stenosis.

I want to add a little from my own experience, keeping in mind that a. I have an MS dx and b. I have a CPn dx.
I have been on the Wheldon/Thibault protocol for just over 3 months and at about 1 month in I began increasing my Vit D supplement intake.
I had been using a combination of Vit D sources which came from various combinations of other Vits and Minerals that I estimate at 1500. The only dose that was available was 50,000 units which was recommended at 10 days intervals.
Three days after the dose I had a huge Herxheimer type reaction which was very debilitating. So I read up and found that the Vit D resets the Apoptosis when there is a stealth bacteria that has the ability to modify the DNA of its host cell. So I have decreased the Vit D boosts and now I have worked up to 25,000 every 10 days with less effect.
What I am wanting to warn here is that the response to increasing Vit D intake may have side effects that are confusing the need to correct Vit D levels. I also have issues with the ABx causing photo sensitivity and I have to avoid direct Sunlight so its a Catch 22, especially for the PwMS to learn what is happening because most Dr's won't understand what is going on, even Specialists are challenged by side effects and the cause.
**JimmyLegs is there a combination for Vit D to make it bioavailable and other Vits or minerals that it needs as a combination. I have read that calcium is necessary.
Also is there a test for Zinc?
I also hear that in NZ selenium is naturally low because of our soil type, is that something that can be tested for? or that can be an issue?
