Conclusions: Compared with participants in the placebo group, patients in the treatment group showed mild short-term improvement in the overall fibromyalgia impact score, but did not show significant improvement in most musculoskeletal symptoms or in activities of daily living.

Is the MP Treatment for Sarcoidosis Helpful for Other Chronic Diseases?
MP’s Vitamin D Theories Are Not Supported by Lab Studies.
Updated July 2, 2008

"The MP treatment plan was originally designed to treat an inflammatory condition known as sarcoidosis. The treatment consists of using the drug Benicar, combined with the avoidance of all sources of vitamin D, and eventually adding various antibiotics, especially minocycline. After being used by sarcoidosis patients for some years, it was then theorized and claimed that the treatment could treat other inflammatory conditions. Eventually it was also claimed that it could treat fibromyalgia and CFS, conditions which are not recognized by the medical literature as being inflammatory in nature. "

According to peer-reviewed clinical research, inadequacies of vitamin D have been linked to chronic musculoskeletal pain of various types, muscle weakness or fatigue, fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatic disorders, osteoarthritis, hyperesthesia, migraine headaches, and other somatic complaints. It also has been implicated in the mood disturbances of chronic fatigue syndrome and seasonal affective disorder.

Current best evidence demonstrates that supplemental vitamin D can help to resolve or alleviate chronic pain and fatigue syndromes in many patients who have been unresponsive to other therapies. Vitamin D therapy is easy for patients to self-administer, is well tolerated, and is very economical. The documents on this page provide detailed background information and practice recommendations.

D-vitamiini on yksi ihmisen tarvitsemista rasvaliukoisista vitamiineista. D-vitamiinin muotoja ovat kolekalsiferoli (D3) ja ergokalsiferoli (D2). Ihminen pystyy itsekin tuottamaan D-vitamiinia riittävässä auringonvalossa UVB-säteilyn vaikutuksesta.

D-vitamiini on steroidihormoni, jonka esimuotoa muodostuu ihossa tai saadaan ruoasta. D-vitamiinin vaikutukset välittyvät vitamiinireseptorin (VDR) kautta. Reseptoreita on kaikissa soluissa keskushermosto mukaan lukien. Useat kliiniset ja kokeelliset tulokset osoittavat D-vitamiinin vaikuttavan aivojen toimintaan.
D-vitamiini voi vähentää riskiä sairastua tyypin 2 diabetekseen[6]. Kansanterveyslaitoksen tutkijat seurasivat 17 vuotta noin 4000 suomalaisen naisen ja miehen terveydentilaa. Niillä henkilöillä, joiden veressä oli eniten D-vitamiinia, oli 40 % pienempi sairastumisriski verrattuna niihin, joiden veressä vitamiinia oli vähiten.

Maailman terveysjärjestön (WHO:n) syöväntutkimuslaitos IARC Lyonissa analysoi 18 suurta D-vitamiinitutkimusta, joihin oli osallistunut 57 311 ihmistä[7]. Heidän terveydentilaansa oli seurattu lähes kuusi vuotta. Sinä aikana 4 777 heistä kuoli. D-vitamiinia ravintolisänä käyttäneiden kuolleisuus oli kahdeksan prosenttia pienempi kuin muiden. D-vitamiinilisän päiväannos vaihteli 7,5:stä 50 µg:aan; keskimäärin se oli 14 µg. D-vitamiinilisää käyttävien ihmisten veressä oli 1,5–5,2 kertaa enemmän tätä vitamiinia kuin muilla[8].

Lontoon King’s Collegessa tehdyn tutkimuksen mukaan D-vitamiini lisää keuhkoissa tulehdusta vaimentavan tulehdussytokiinin, interleukiini 10:n (IL10:n) tuotantoa. Silloin astman oireet vähenevät, jopa sellaisilla potilailla, joihin kortisoni (deksametasoni) ei ole tehonnut[

Chlorella, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and other Chlorella spp. [Phylum: Cyanophyta], is a nutrient-dense unicellular fresh water green alga rich in proteins (60%), vitamins, and minerals that is used as a source of food and beneficial phytochemicals. Chlorella has been on the earth since the Precambrian period: over 2.5 billion years. The cells of Chlorella were first identified under a microscope in the 1890s but it wasn't until the 1950s that the Carnegie Institute concluded that chlorella could be grown commercially as a solution to help world hunger. In the 1960s, Japanese scientists turned their attention to chlorella as a promoter of good health. Research has shown that Chlorella has strong detoxification, immunostimulant and wound healing properties and prevents damage to the body from toxic chemicals.
