So long as one is responding to olmesartan or olmesartan plus antibiotics with symptoms that wax and wane, there are still bacteria to be killed. | So long as one is responding to olmesartan or olmesartan plus antibiotics with symptoms that wax and wane, there are still bacteria to be killed. | ||

* **Fibrosis** – When the immune system fails to kill a pathogen, it encases the diseased tissue in collagen. This process is known as fibrosis. MP patients with fibrosis can expect to be killing pockets of these for a long time, extending the length of the treatment, as the fibrosis remodels. | * **Fibrosis** – When the immune system fails to kill a pathogen, it encases the diseased tissue in collagen.

Even so, patients are encouraged not to consume any food products that are fortified with extra vitamin D. | * **consumption of vitamin D** – MP patients are free to enjoy foods such as fish that naturally contain vitamin D.

* **antibiotics** – In later stages of the MP, the immune system is self-sustaining and can eradicate bacteria without antibiotics. However, there is no harm in using a couple weeks' worth of MP antibiotics as an annual checkup in order to see if they can generate immunopathology. | * **antibiotics** – In later stages of the MP, the immune system is self-sustaining and can eradicate bacteria without antibiotics.

* **olmesartan (Benicar)** – In later stages of the MP, the Vitamin D Receptor, which controls key components of innate immunity, is properly working again and is activated even in the absence of olmesartan. However, olmesartan is still essential to palliate symptoms and protect organs from systemic immunopathology. | * **olmesartan (Benicar)** – In later stages of the MP, the Vitamin D Receptor, which controls key components of innate immunity, is properly working again and is activated even in the absence of olmesartan.
