   * **metagenomic microbiota** – The community of bacterial pathogens, including those in an intracellular and biofilm state which cause chronic disease.   * **metagenomic microbiota** – The community of bacterial pathogens, including those in an intracellular and biofilm state which cause chronic disease.
   * **microbiota** – The bacterial community which causes chronic diseases; one which almost certainly includes multiple species and bacterial forms.   * **microbiota** – The bacterial community which causes chronic diseases; one which almost certainly includes multiple species and bacterial forms.
-  * **minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)** – The lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that will inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation. Dosing at well below the MIC improves the MP's effectiveness against slow-growing chronic pathogens and reduces the likelihood of resistance. 
   * **minocycline** – Bacteriostatic antibiotic occasionally prescribed for some Marshall Protocol patients as a palliative.   * **minocycline** – Bacteriostatic antibiotic occasionally prescribed for some Marshall Protocol patients as a palliative.

   * **vitamin D3** – Form of vitamin D made in the skin when exposed to light. Also available in fish and meat. This secosteroid is sometimes converted into 25-D. Also known as cholecalciferol and activated 7-dehydrocholesterol.   * **vitamin D3** – Form of vitamin D made in the skin when exposed to light. Also available in fish and meat.

-  * **VDR agonist** - A substance such as olmesartan (Benicar) or 1,25-D which activates the Vitamin D Receptor and transcribes the genes necessary for a proper innate immune response.+  * **VDR agonist** - A substance such as olmesartan (Benicar) or 1,25-D which activates the Vitamin D Receptor enabling transcription of the genes necessary for a proper innate immune response.
   * **VDR antagonist** - A substance such as 25-D or certain bacterial ligands which inactivates the Vitamin D Receptor, the receptor which transcribes the genes necessary for a proper innate immune response.   * **VDR antagonist** - A substance such as 25-D or certain bacterial ligands which inactivates the Vitamin D Receptor, the receptor which transcribes the genes necessary for a proper innate immune response.
