 All forms of vitamin D are secosteroids, sharing a close structural and functional resemblance to steroids. The full implications of a "vitamin" acting as a steroid has yet to be fully appreciated by many in the research community. The overlap between steroids and secosteroids is key to understanding the Marshall Pathogenesis. It explains how a "vitamin" can exert short-term palliative effects and long-term harm. Patients on the MP are advised to avoid consuming vitamin D, because of its immunomodulatory effects. All forms of vitamin D are secosteroids, sharing a close structural and functional resemblance to steroids.
