And ooooooh, the slippery slope from sesame seeds to sunbathing... Thank you for pointing out, Ken, that this ridiculous laundry list of symptoms, which you linked us to in the original Mangin-ese, bears no resemblance to the descriptions of that rare condition called vitamin D toxicity, or 'vitamin D-induced hypercalcemia'. If they were honest, and admitted what they are talking about is hypercalcemia, they would then have to reckon with the Unnameable One's admission that excess parathyroid hormone, not 1,25-D, is the usual culprit in hypercalcemia. Which might lead someone discover that vitamin D deficiency - yes, deficiency - is one of the listed causes of hyper-parathyroidism. I had a dream in which the protocolics were compelled to admit these things openly, at a conference. Their heads started to spark and smoke, and probably would have exploded had I not had the good sense to wake up. I can't count the number of times I've asked individual protocolics how they can be sure their 1,25-D is too high, rather than too low, only to be told: " I know it's too high, because I've got all the symptoms. " Invariably, the Mangin-ese document is what they are referring to. Most of these conversations are online, but I can picture them arching their eyebrows at me meaningfully, like " refute THAT if you can! " You can tell what a uber-scientific list it is (NOT) right off, when you read that if you sleep too little, you're vitamin d is too high, and if you sleep too much...your vitamin D is too high. Also, if you sometimes pick your nose when no one's looking, your vitamin D is too high. I don't know how could have left that one off the list!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Uh Oh. I've been sunbathing in sesame seed oil and 'cause I'm kinda bored when I'm just laying there, I sometimes pick my nose. I MUST HAVE TOO MUCH VITAMIN D!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Most of those symptoms could be due to many, many different nutritional deficiencies, infections or other illnesses, and to LEAVE OUT THIS FACT is unconscionable. It should be noted that the " Administrator " does not allow anyone to reply to Ms. Mangin's well-intentioned, but misleading post.
