 ====== Forms and structure of vitamin D ======
-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.

 In the published literature, researchers sometimes distinguish between "steroid" and "secosteroid," but not always.(({{pubmed>long:10052453}})) (({{pubmed>long:12528991}}))
-This failure to discriminate is less an indication of sloppy research and more a testament to how vitamin D behaves. The vitamins D act very much like steroids, binding nuclear receptors and modulating the immune response. Not only that, there's growing evidence that vitamin D causes adverse side effects like chronic disease over the long term just like anabolic steroids and [[home:othertreatments::corticosteroids|corticosteroids]].
