Since so many on the site are dealing with thyroid issues, I thought I'd pass this along...

First, here's a little news blurb on the study:

Modern Medicine: Vitamin D Directly Affects Thyroid Function in Mice

Below is the full study article. While the article focuses on Graves' hyperthyroidism, the discussion and conclusion sections list some interesting findings of recent research on Vitamin D3's importance for proper thyroid function in general. It's well worth a read:

Vitamin D deficiency modulates Graves' hyperthyroidism induced in BALB/c mice by thyrotropin receptor immunization.

Great find, Red. This might help make some sense over all the thyroid deficiency we see in CFIDSⁱ/ME from D deficiency compounded by infection, and certainly gives pause to pursuing a D deprivation model like the MP. Anyone here from the MP have resulting thyroid problems?
