- Lyme, COVID, and various cancers have learned to protect themselves by deactivating the Vitamin D receptor.
- Receptor activation is not detectable by standard vitamin D tests, a person with Lyme disease can have a good blood level of vitamin D but a poor level of vitamin D in tissues.
- The poor activation can result in many other health problems, such as autoimmune diseases
- There are many ways to restore the activation of the Vitamin D receptor
Person with lyme should try several of the VDR activators concurrently to see which, if any, help - bloodthirsty ticks give lyme disease to animals, pets, and humans

Lyme disease reduced Vitamin D Receptor by 8X to 50X - June 2019
Vitamin D Receptor - activation and deactivation- self-hacked June 2019
- Lyme/Borrelia – Live Borrelia reduces VDR by 50 times (in monocytes) and “dead” Borrelia reduces it by 8 times 63
- This could explain why people develop autoimmune conditions after Lyme infection.
Chronic Lyme disease - Feb 2019

Borrelia and the VDR
In the arms race of host–microbe co-evolution, successful microbial pathogens have evolved ingenious ways to evade host immune responses.9)Studies have indicated that the dysregulation of VDR may lead to exaggerated inflammatory responses, raising the possibility that defects in Vitamin D and VDR signaling transduction may be linked to bacterial infection and chronic inflammation. Further characterization of Vitamin D/VDR will help elucidate the pathogenesis of various human diseases and in the design of new approaches for prevention and treatment. Jun Sun 10)
Since the VDR is at the heart of the innate immune system, bacteria can survive by discovering how to disable it through a variety of different actions. Actions accumulate and are more powerful than individual actions. In keeping with evolutionary theory, a growing number of substances and species have been shown to downregulate the activity of the VDR, one of which is Borrelia burgdorferi. Live Borrelia burgdorferi reduced VDR expression in monocytes (phagocytes) by 50 times, and lysates (“dead” Borrelia) reduced it by 8 times 11)

Lyme Disease and Vitamin D Receptor Activators
I do not have Lyme Disease, but have a poor vitamin D receptor
Nature's Essentials Resveratrol 500mg is an Amazon Resveratrol with high bio-availability which I have been taking
Vitamin D Receptor category has the following
530 studies in Vitamin D Receptor category Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems
See also:
A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells48 studies in the Resveratrol category It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )
Health problems include: Autoimmune (
Several diseases protect themselves by deactivating the Vitamin D receptor. Example: Breast Cancer
- - - - - - - -
The Vitamin D Receptor is associated with many health problems19 studies), Breast Cancer ( 24 studies), Colon Cancer ( 13 studies), Cardiovascular ( 23 studies), Cognition ( 16 studies), Diabetes ( 24 studies), Hypertension ( 9 studies), Infant ( 22 studies), Lupus ( 6 studies), Metabolic Syndrome ( 4 studies), Mortality ( 4 studies), Multiple Sclerosis ( 14 studies), Obesity ( 17 studies), Pregnancy ( 24 studies), Rheumatoid Arthritis ( 10 studies), TB ( 8 studies), VIRUS ( 37 studies), Click here for details
Some health problems, such as Breast Cancer, Diabetes, and COVID protect themselves by reducing VDR activation
55 health problems associated with poor VDR
A poor VDR is associated with the risk of 55 health problems click here for details
The risk of 48 diseases at least double with poor VDR as of Jan 2023 click here for details
Some health problem, such as Breast Cancer reduce the VDRVDR at-home test $29 - results not easily understood in 2016
There are hints that you may have inherited a poor VDR
How to increase VDR activation
Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:Increasing Increases 1) Vitamin D supplement Sun
Ultraviolet -BVitamin D in the blood
and thus in the cells2) Magnesium Vitamin D in the blood
AND in the cells3) Omega-3 Vitamin D in the cells 4) Resveratrol Vitamin D Receptor 5) Intense exercise Vitamin D Receptor 6) Get prescription for VDR activator
paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?Vitamin D Receptor 7) Quercetin (flavonoid) Vitamin D Receptor 8) Zinc is in the VDR Vitamin D Receptor 9) Boron Vitamin D Receptor ?,
etc10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcumin Vitamin D Receptor 11) Progesterone Vitamin D Receptor 12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D
Increases the concentration gradientVitamin D Receptor 13) Sulfroaphane and perhaps sulfur Vitamin D Receptor 14) Butyrate especially gut Vitamin D Receptor 15) Berberine Vitamin D Receptor Note: If you are not feeling enough benefit from Vitamin D, you might try increasing VDR activation. You might feel the benefit within days of adding one or more of the above
Far healthier and stronger at age 72 due to supplements Includes 6 supplements that help the VDR

Lyme Disease - 500,000 Americans annually - more than Breast Cancer - Mercola Sept 2024
- " There are more cases of Lyme disease than HIV and breast cancer combined.
Of those 500,000, about 10% to 20% will stay sick for some period of time. We now believe that something on the order of 2 million people suffer the aftereffects of Lyme disease in the United States." - The phrase "Vitamin D" does not occur once

- Appears that people trying to treat Lyme with just daily vitamin D get to toxic levels without any benefit
- No mention of the Vitamin D Receptor which woul greatly reduce the amount of Vitamin D needed
"According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 329,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year, although some data suggest it may actually be over 444,000.1 While exact numbers are difficult to ascertain, what is known is that the prevalence is rising."
Lyme Disease rate increased 4X in 28 years
CDC
Possible reasons for increase include:
- lower D in population,
- increasing rate of poor Vitamin D Receptor,
- warmer climate
- more ticks
Lyme Disease Is Baffling, Even to Experts
Atlantic Aug 2019
Took 16 years to get her problem correctly diagnosed- "Reported cases increased almost fivefold from 1992 to 2017, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that annual incidences have risen to more than 300,000, and may even range above 400,000"
- "After 40 years in the public-health spotlight, Lyme disease still can’t be prevented by a vaccine; eludes reliable testing; and continues to pit patients against doctors, and researchers against one another."
- "A significant percentage of people who had Lyme symptoms and later tested positive for the disease had never gotten the rash. Others had many characteristic symptoms but tested negative for the infection, and entered treatment anyway. Most startling, a portion of patients who had been promptly and conclusively diagnosed with Lyme disease and treated with the standard course of doxycycline didn’t really get better."

It's Time to Get Serious about Tick-Borne Diseases - Scientific American Aug 2019
Scientific American Vitamin D NOT mentioned
- "Today another epidemic rages unchecked: the number of Lyme disease cases has doubled since 2004, for a total of over 400,000."
- "At least 10 to 20 percent stay sick for a year, with 5 percent still suffering 15 years later—this among patients receiving early treatment, who have the best outcomes"
- 67 Lyme Disease Clinical trials as of 2019
- "In 2017, mosquito-borne West Nile virus, which currently infects about 2,000 people annually in the U.S. received $42 million in support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Lyme disease, with 20 times the number of reported cases, got half as much, a figure that has changed little in a decade"
