Kasimir,
If you are infected with L bacteria, as I am also, diet alone will probably not be enough to heal completely. I've been 100% Paleo for over 12 years, raw Paleo for the last 6, and while that resolved many significant gut issues, my very strict diet was unable to affect my remaining inflammatory issues such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, Raynaud's, paresthesia and tinnitus.
However, I discovered and began a therapy called the Marshall Protocol about 20 months ago, and from my experiences with it, I believe I am on the way to complete cure of all of the above.
It is definitely not crazy that you are negatively affected by sunshine and Vitamin D, as was noted by the C's in the Sept. '08 session. Many, many people who have serious L bacteria infections are affected similarly. Personally, I did not notice negative effects, but neither did a year of sunbathing and multiple years of Vitamin D supplementation do anything at all to reduce my inflammatory issues.
These can upset hormone balance and make one "feel" better (or worse) in the short run but actually weaken your immune system over time, much the same as prednisone and other steroidal medications. This is because so-called "Vitamin" D functions in the body more as a hormone precursor than as a nutrient.
Here are some links for further reference:
Simple explanations of how the therapy works:
• Th1 inflammation pathogenesis
• innate immunity
• Vitamin D metabolism
• Activation of the VDR (Vitamin D Receptor) by Benicar (Olmesartan)

At the website _http://bacteriality.com, which was created by recovered patient and bio grad student Amy Proal, there’s a more complete explanation of the therapy: _http://bacteriality.com/about-the-mp
Her website also contains a wealth of interviews (with recovering patients as well as scientists) and technical articles. Amy also has an excellent introductory video (88 min.) which has more on the practical implementation of the MP: _http://bacteriality.com/2008/05/07/mpintro
I would highly recommend watching the following 2 videos of Dr. Marshall’s recent presentations in China:
Keynote Presentation at the 2008 World Gene Congress

Clinical Seminar at West China Hospital, Chengdu

The MP Knowledge Base is currently under construction and, though not yet complete, has a lot of material for further research:

Additional information, including links to Dr. Marshall’s peer-reviewed papers, is available at the Autoimmunity Research Foundation website:

The MP is not a quick or necessarily easy fix, but it represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of most chronic degenerative diseases afflicting humanity today. I feel most blessed to have discovered it.
Kind regards,
