Now tell everyone if you are the same Ted Hutchinson who was asked not to keep posting your opinions on the English MS Forum. Indeed that is probably true. I don't suffer fools kindly and don't go out of my way to endear myself to those who can't be bothered to provide accurate evidence based repli...

tedhutchinson, I checked your previous posts as well. Seems you like to deny everything, this is just my first impression :) I found interesting that you suggest to maintain vitamin D levels .. by drinking a milk?

High vitamin D - better outcome, pregnancy - better outcome. PTH is suppressed in both cases. Is there any other option to suppress parathyroid hormone without taking vitamin D? Why would anyone want to achieve optimal PTH levels by anything other than having natural optimal 25(OH)D levels? PTH and...

But there is a huge difference between the Coimbra protocol which uses 60,000iu daily or more vitamin D3 (in the context of drinking 2.5 liters water daily and eliminating dietary calcium foods) and using DAILY amounts of vitamin D3 that would naturally be made in human skin if we were able to spend...

Just stumbled on this Video on MS and Paleo Diet - Loren Cordain and sponsored by Direct MS. 1st half he outlines paleo diet story, but the second half is a bit more meaty and he goes into the etiology of MS and his Hypothesis for how diet contributes to the manifestation of MS I think we have to a...

i also find it interesting how the ability to properly utilize vitamin d3 depends on adequate zinc status. True. While we shouldn't overdose on zinc we do have to ensure we are getting sufficient. Zinc is fundamental to immune function and is required for MELATONIN production so without sufficient ...

There are other infections that have been implicated. Epstein-Barr Virus and human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) are other suspects. We all can improve our natural immune function primarily by keeping vitamin D level AT or ABOVE 125nmol/l or 50ng/ml with around 1000 iu daily vitamin D3 for each 25lbs we we...
