Vitamin D status and ill health: a systematic review : The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587%2813%2970165-7/abstract
Low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) have been associated with many non-skeletal disorders. However, whether low 25(OH)D is the cause or result of ill health is not known. We did a systematic search of prospective and intervention studies that assessed the effect of 25(OH)D concentrations on non-skeletal health outcomes in individuals aged 18 years or older

You absolutely cannot be healthy any more – it’s official | Dr. Malcolm Kendrick
This guy writes really well on health issues
I have been waiting for some time now before it became officially impossible to be healthy. In recent years the boundaries of health have been inexorably squeezed tighter and tighter. Recently, they snapped shut. The land of the healthy now no longer exists. Tis but a memory.
I wondered if it would be cholesterol that would obliterate health first, but it turned out to be blood pressure. This was pretty much second favourite in my book.
As with many areas of ‘health’ the definition of a healthy blood pressure has fallen and fallen. A few years ago we had go to the stage of a condition known as pre-hypertension. A state of having a high blood pressure that wasn’t really high, but represented an ill-defined danger of some sort. This pressure was set at 115/75mmHg. Far lower than the average blood pressure in the Western World.

Low-dose naltrexone for the treatment of fibromyalgia -
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23359310
CONCLUSION:
The preliminary evidence continues to show that low-dose naltrexone has a specific and clinically beneficial impact on fibromyalgia pain. The medication is widely available, inexpensive, safe, and well-tolerated. Parallel-group randomized controlled trials are needed to fully determine the efficacy of the medication.Sunday 17 November 2013

Modern Pathology - Localization of Propionibacterium acnes in granulomas supports a possible etiologic link between sarcoidosis and the bacterium
Modern Pathology - Localization of Propionibacterium acnes in granulomas supports a possible etiologic link between sarcoidosis and the bacterium
Many studies have suggested a bacterial cause for sarcoidosis.
In this study published in Modern Pathology (May 2012), Japanese scientists tested the hypothesis that P. acnes is an etiologic agent of sarcoidosis. They found greater than 50% reactivity: 57% in lung tissue and 88% in lymph node. They also found bodies that might be intact forms of intracellular bacteria, because they lacked a cell wall structure.
The P. acnes trigger-factor protein induced pulmonary granulomas only in mice with latent P. acnes infection in their lungs. Eradication of P. acnes by antibiotics in these mice prevented granulomas, which might explain the recently reported effectiveness of tetracyclines for treating sarcoidosis.

Evidence for Mycoplasma ssp., Chlamydia pneunomiae, and human herpes virus-6 coinfections in the blood of patients with autistic spectrum disorders.
Source
The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Huntington Beach, California 92647, USA. gnicolson@immed.orgAbstract
We examined the blood of 48 patients from central and southern California diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) by using forensic polymerase chain reaction and found that a large subset (28/48 or 58.3%) of patients showed evidence of Mycoplasma spp. infections compared with two of 45 (4.7%) age-matched control subjects (odds ratio = 13.8, P < 0.001). Because ASD patients have a high prevalence of one or more Mycoplasma spp. and sometimes show evidence of infections with Chlamydia pneumoniae, we examined ASD patients for other infections. Also, the presence of one or more systemic infections may predispose ASD patients to other infections, so we examined the prevalence of C. pneumoniae (4/48 or 8.3% positive, odds ratio = 5.6, P < 0.01) and human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6, 14/48 or 29.2%, odds ratio = 4.5, P < 0.01) coinfections in ASD patients. We found that Mycoplasma-positive and -negative ASD patients had similar percentages of C. pneumoniae and HHV-6 infections, suggesting that such infections occur independently in ASD patients. Control subjects also had low rates of C. pneumoniae (1/48 or 2.1%) and HHV-6 (4/48 or 8.3%) infections, and there were no coinfections in control subjects. The results indicate that a large subset of ASD patients shows evidence of bacterial and/or viral infections (odds ratio = 16.5, P < 0.001). The significance of these infections in ASD is discussed in terms of appropriate treatment.

When is Vitamin D supplementation appropriate??
When is vitamin D supplementation appropriate?
Despite vitamin D supplementation chronic diseases have increased. More foods than ever before are fortified with vitamin D; the Nutrition Business Journal reported sales of vitamin D supplements have skyrocketed to $425 million in 2009 from just $40 million in 2001.1 Vitamin D supplement proponents promised double digit declines in chronic disease yet, between 2000 and 2010, the percentage of adults aged 45-64 (and 65+) with two or more (of nine selected) chronic conditions, increased for both men and women, all racial and ethnic groups examined, and most income groups.2 As reported by the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, more than one in four Americans lives with multiple chronic conditions, including one in 15 children.3 Almost $2 out of $3 spent on health care in the U.S. is directed toward care for the 27% of Americans with multiple chronic conditions and chronic illness is expected to continue increasing.4,5
According to our most respected medical experts, "Outcomes related to autoimmune disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, falls and physical performance, immune functioning, infections, neuropsychological functioning, and preeclampsia could not be linked reliably with calcium or vitamin D intake and were often conflicting." 6 The majority of the findings concerning vitamin D, calcium, or a combination of both nutrients on the different health outcomes were inconsistent.7 Genetic findings in those predisposed to longevity cast doubt on whether low levels of vitamin D cause age-related diseases and mortality.8 A study by Tufts Medical Center's Division of Rheumatology concluded, "Vitamin D supplementation for two years at a dose sufficient to elevate 25(OH)D plasma levels to higher than 36ng/ml, when compared with placebo, did not reduce knee pain or cartilage volume loss in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis." 9 Subjects supplemented with high doses of vitamin D to increase 25(OH)D levels from 20.9ng/ml to 40.1ng/mg, saw "...no improvement in serum lipids, HbA1c, or HS-CRP with high dose vitamin D supplementation. If anything, the effect was negative." 10 A study published online August 2013 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine concluded that Vitamin D supplementation did not improve blood pressure or markers of vascular health in older patients with isolated systolic hypertension.11A study published this month in The Lancet found little evidence supporting the use of vitamin D supplements by seniors hoping to improve bone density and ward off potential fractures. They concluded that "Continuing widespread use of vitamin D for osteoporosis prevention in community-dwelling adults without specific risk factors for vitamin D deficiency seems to be inappropriate." 12
Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency can occur in certain situations. Genetic defects in the VDR may result in vitamin D deficiency; a number of mutations have been identified that lead to hereditary vitamin D resistance.13 Disorders that limit vitamin D absorption and conditions that impair conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites (e.g., certain liver, kidney & hereditary disorders) may cause deficiency.14 Sick or elderly people who rarely go outdoors and have poor diets are also at risk. Age is a factor, in that synthesis of vitamin D declines with increasing age, due in part to a fall in 7-dehydrocholesterol levels and due in part to alterations in skin morphology.15 Vitamin D supplementation may be appropriate in these special conditions, but the evidence indicates it's not appropriate to supplement the general population.

CONCLUSIONS:
There was no evidence of a threshold for reduced calcium absorption in the serum 25OHD range of 10-66 ng/ml (25-165 nmol/liter). The increase in absorbed calcium of 6% on high doses of vitamin D is so small that the same amount could be obtained from half a glass of milk (100 ml) or 100 mg elemental calcium. The results challenge assumptions about the value of adding vitamin D to increase calcium absorption except when serum 25OHD is very low that is less than 10 ng/ml (25 nmol/liter).Tuesday 15 October 2013
