I am calling all the brainy ones for this. When you have time, please come and comment. Read the papers I provide, bring others, use fancy words.
Let´s clear this controversy here and now. I have very low 25-hydroxy Vitamin D. 16 pg/ml. I do not know my 1,25 Vitamin D status. According to the Marshall crowd it would be high. According to all the others, it would be low. I don´t want to just jump to supplementing with vitamin D despite of many abstracts and pdf´s that I have read showing it is über good. It could be harmful. Studies are very misleading and you really need to contrast and digest the information.
So it would be very helpful if anyone have had this test done that it is posted so we can try to shed some light on this. I don´t even care about the 25- Vit D test results as for all I know we are all "defficient" in that one.
A study supporting that autoimmune people have higher 1,25-D blood concentrations:

However, elevated levels of serum 1,25-D were found in 85% of patients examined. Technically, high levels of 1,25-D downregulate, via the pregnane X receptor (PXR) nuclear receptor, the amount of vitamin D converted into 25-D, resulting in low levels of 25-D in patients with autoimmune disease.
