Do low Vit D levels part of Lyme?

I think I read that antibiotics can leach the nutrients out of your system. Or maybe it's the Lyme. I don't know. But it's part of it for me.

You said he is going to restart you on vitamin D. Why did he stop? You should have been supplementing all along. Perhaps your dose may have needed adjusting once it reached the right level, but once it does you don't just stop taking it.

I am interested in this too.. I had my D levels work up after a year to a good level and then even a bit too high. . So I reduced my dosage from 5000 to 3000 and then they dropped way down again within the next two months? So.. I dont get it.

He stopped me from the prescription supplements, but told me to just take OTC vitamin D, which I had been doing.
Apparently the brand I was taking wasn't potent enough, so he wants me back on the prescription stuff.
Don't know what the difference would be, but whatever.
I'm just happy my liver enzymes aren't flagged.

Many/most lymies have low 25D, but what's your 1,25D level? Commonly associated with lyme is extra-renal conversion of 25D to 1,25D. This process consumes 25D in order to produce 1,25D, which is the biologically active type.
Some research says vitamin D blocks the immune system's fight against Bb. I did not start getting better until I avoided vitamin D intake.
Low 25D is a symptom of lyme, not the cause. You won't recover by merely treating symptoms.

MP theory make a lot of sense (I cant still make much sense out the protocol though ,aside the VitD avoidance/ benicar part)
