parathyroid

It's clear why she's interested in VitD as parathyroid surgeon.

Hi, I had a thyroidectomy and was told I lost at least one parathyroid in the process.

If you have parathyroid issues it could be a boron deficiency.

There are some thoughts that VitD deficiency is the root cause of hyperparathyroidism.

And I have treated thousands of patients with parathyroid, calcium, and Vitamin D problems.

Primary hyperparathyroidism can do it, and in this case you will see high blood calcium levels also.

The Coimbra Protocol tries to find the Vit D dose that minimises parathyroid hormone levels, and needs a diet practically calcium free to be safe.

It also requires a very low calcium diet and close monitoring of calcium & parathyroid levels - which I'm guessing the lady did not do.

People should get their calcium and PTH levels checked before taking larger doses of vitamine D as low vitamine D could be result of hyperparathyroidism.

Rather importantly, they note that while parathyroid hormone levels are inversely proportional to Vit D serum levels, they start to go up with high levels of Vit D. Individuals with 50 ng/mL vit D had PTH levels similar to people with a Vit D serum level of 15 ng/mL.

As the Nairobi study points out, while low levels of Vit D are linked high levels of parathyroid hormone, beyond a certain point increasing vit D levels are linked to higher PTH levels.

They act on calcium receptors to cause brief increases in plasma levels of parathyroid hormone in order to stimulate the growth of bone, which might be beneficial in the treatment of osteoporosis.
