For someone who does not advocate the Marshall protocol you do quote him rather a lot.
In answer to your post: no other Scientific researcher into Vitamin D takes Marshall seriously, and there are quite a number of them, including the likes of Mercola.
Doesn't that tell you anything, or is this just stating the obvious?
If Vitamin D deficiency is caused by the disease process, then perhaps you can explain (along with everything else I have asked for, and you have yet to answer) as to why tuberculosis (for example) was and has been cured via Heliotherapy?
In Marshalls way of thinking, and as a means of analogy, this means that pernicious anemia causes a B12 deficiency, and scurvy causes an Ascorbate deficiency.
