If only the cure and conclusions were that simple!

One of the comments posted below the article:
"I've had really low vitamin d for quite some time, but whenever I'm placed on supplements symptoms seem to worsen."
And a comment from the MD blogger himself:
"I have never pulsed. I cannot comment too much about it. Patients seem to relapse quickly when antibiotics are stopped so I avoid this approach."

Vitamin D toxicity is a non-issue. The only potential issue is hypercalcemia--excessively high levels of calcium in the blood. This is highly unlikely and can be monitored. Forget the whole Marshall distraction.
Amelogenesis Imperfecta can hardly be called a non-issue, but rather a mutilation for life.

AI sometimes occurs following environmental causes, including vitamin D deficiency or intoxication

Ron, isn't Amelogenesis Imperfecta a genetic condition?

Joyful,
Yes, "genetic"...
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0888754397946437
"Ameloblastin gene (AMBN) maps within the critical region for autosomal dominant amelogenesis imperfecta at chromosome 4q21"
AMBN can be found in the vitamin D response elements table of Wang et Al's "Identification of Direct 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Target Genes" paper:

I wonder what could happen if VDR transcription were to be disrupted in a young, developing child.
