Interesting. How long do you have to stay on GcMAF?
That is very individualized. Depends on how your immune system responds.

Interesting. How long do you have to stay on GcMAF?
Here's a PDF file re Sarc and Vitamin D deficiency -- he suggests raising d slowly -- but the lists 50,000Ius(!) of D2 (!!!) as part of his treatment. Anyway...for your curiosity:

Have you looked into any biofilm busting agents like haritaki?
Also, does the KMAF help lower your 1,25-d calcium, or is it mainly for infections?
-- but I'll be willing to go with Benicar if I have to, to address both the 1,25-d (if that's what it does), and my moderately high systolic BP*.
*Another confusing thing for me is that both Benicar and vitamin D lower BP by helping to block angiostensin II...
p.s. If blood calcium is high, then how do you lower it?
I guess it makes sense that the 1,25 could be high due to the activated macrophages, but what is activating them? I know too many questions.
That being said -- hopefully I can ask just two more questions: Did you/do you have any classical sarc-like symptoms? And has anyone been able to explain why you're in the 10% that has elevated blood calcium rather than low calcium?
