That fact only further confirms the study is not Coimbra. In what I have read of the above study, there is NO mention of measuring the levels of PTH, which is clearly an important component of the protocol. But simply locking onto the dose, the starting dose for Coimbra would be around 70000IU, while their starting (and ending) dose was only 10000IU. Its totally different.

In another thread, you state 95% effectiveness. If you are now sating the above IS Coimbra, then you would also have to include results/effectiveness of studies that use this dose. I have not read anywhere where any study using the dose of 10000IU would even suggest anywhere approaching 95% effectiveness. If you are claiming the above is Coimbra doses, then the 95% should be altered to reflect such.

Any studies posted in the Coimbra protocol forum will be seen as a study that supports the effectiveness and claims of the Coimbra protocol.
You didn't make the claim, but you disagreed with any statement I made that would imply it wasn't Coimbra, and as such that will imply you think it does support Coimbra.

And as such my simple original statement was

As soon as I make any statement that 10000IU vit D studies are not a study on Coimbra, someone argues with me. I personally think posting these non Coimbra based Vit D studies in the Coimbra threads is highly inaccurate to the point of misleading.
