"Yet these researchers still remain completely unaware of the molecular models showing that high levels of the precursor form of vitamin D (25-D) obtained from supplements and excess sun exposure (which is an immunosuppressive secosteroid) thwarts the entire transcription process."

But again, this doesn't argue for not supplementing vitamin D up to normal levels--it argues against OVER supplementation. We humans don't get anywhere close to the sun exposure that our progenitors did. After all, they evolved where the sun's intensity was high, and were exposed to it all throughout the daylight hours. The need to get more Vitamin D was probably the driving force for the loss of melanin among those Africans who migrated away from the tropics eons ago. But we Caucasians today don't begin to approach the sun exposure that our ancestors had, even if we live at lower latitudes, because we have a much more "indoor" lifestyle.

I have no doubt that bacteria can indeed explain much chronic illness, but it's painting with a GIGANTIC brush to claim it can account for all of it.

True ... and good points you make.

There remains plenty of open questions here.
