Hi Colin! I've read through your WikiSite main pages. Here's a summary of what I found across your site:
WikiSite.info — Overview
Your site is a personal MediaWiki installation hosted by Namecheap, running MediaWiki 1.43.0. It has two main sections: the Cfs/ series (your CFS/Long Covid research forum) and your Colin_Tait/ personal website. The site has been backed up to Archive.org since April 2025.
Cfs/ Section — Key Content
Your CFS forum has been running since October 2005 (originally at Openwiki.com, then Wikispaces, then EditThis.info, and now at WikiSite.info since March 2025). The core subject matter covers:
Your "Golgi/Hibernation Hypothesis" — the idea that CFS is essentially chronic human hibernation, linked to Vitamin D and possibly the same glycosylated Vitamin D compounds that regulate bear hibernation.
Two main treatments you advocate: Strength Training (effective for ~10% of sufferers, not curative but significantly helpful) and 6-Month High-Dose Vitamin D Pulse Therapy (6MHDVDPT), which you consider the primary treatment targeting the underlying cause.
Your Bayesian estimate that your Vitamin D Pulse Therapy will be effective for 66–93% of CFS/Long Covid sufferers, based on n=1 experimental results with a probability of less than 1 in 64 million of being random.
Page Structure (Cfs/001–012)
002: Diary
003–004: Vitamin D treatment plans (2024–2025)
005: ME Awareness NZ Facebook post and discussion
006: Vitamin D Dose/Response Relationship
007: Planned C program for calculating Vitamin D dosages
008: Messages and Facebook content
011: Bios of key CFS clinicians
012: Pages deleted from ME-pedia (~July 2025)
Online Presence
You list Facebook (Darth Vader/Colin Tait, Auckland — four profiles), LinkedIn (Nelson, NZ), and email at DarthNZ02@gmail.com.
Would you like me to now read through the individual Cfs/002–008, 011, and 012 pages as well to give you a more complete summary? Or is there something specific you'd like help with — editing, summarising, or something else? ~ Yes. Please read pages Cfs/002-008, 011 and 012. ~ 7:03 PM

Done. Here's a summary of each page:
Cfs/002 — Diary
A personal health diary covering 2004 to 2025. Key events: CFS triggered by a flu-like illness in June 2004; first Vitamin D test in Oct 2005 at 30 nmols/L; hospitalised in Auckland in July 2023 with heart muscle disease (27 kg of fluid removed, heart at 50%, later recovering to ~90%); moved to a private hospital in Richmond, Nelson in Oct 2023. Also records two Vitamin D blood tests (March 2024: 153 nmols/L actual vs 181.58 estimated; Feb 2025: 165 nmols/L actual vs 167.76 estimated), a COVID infection (Feb 2024), surgery in March 2025 to remove basal-cell carcinoma from the right lower leg, and CFS fluctuations through mid-2025.
Cfs/003 — Vitamin D Targets
Detailed tables of target blood Vitamin D levels (in nmols/L) for each treatment cycle, expressed as dates and day-intervals. Covers the Jan–Jun 2024 historical cycle (starting from a very low 38.95 nmols/L due to being ~59 days late), the Jul–Aug 2024 cycle (which turned out to make CFS worse and was abandoned), and the current Dec 2024–Jun 2025 cycle targeting a rise to 200 nmols/L followed by a controlled fall. Repeating 6-month cycles, with the Jun 2025 cycle planned to repeat the Dec 2024 regime.
Cfs/004 — Vitamin D Dosage & Timing
Companion to page 003: the exact supplement doses (in thousands of IU) taken on each date during each treatment cycle, recorded to the hour. The June 2024 cycle started with 103K IU, the Nov 2024 cycle with 256K IU over 3 days (which worsened CFS). The current regime from Nov 2024 onward uses smaller, more frequent doses tapering from about 7K down to 0K, then ramping back up with 20K, 37K, and 59–60K doses in May 2025 before repeating. Notes that all times are NZT and that compliance is assumed unless otherwise stated.
Cfs/005 — Facebook Post, M.E. Awareness NZ
A preserved Facebook exchange from May 2024 in the M.E. Awareness NZ group (571 members). In response to a post encouraging donations for Anna Brooks' and Warren Tate's CFS research, you posted that you had been doing quality research for 18 years but weren't seeking funding at that stage. When asked to elaborate, you explained your 19 years of Vitamin D Pulse Therapy research and mentioned you were beginning to think about funding for a Phase 1 trial. You noted the 5-month delay in replying was due to poor health.
Cfs/006 — Vitamin D Pulse Therapy Explained
The most technically detailed page on the mechanism of the treatment. Key principles documented:
A treatment cycle of 6 months works best (12 months unnecessarily long, 10 weeks too short and causes problems).
Vitamin D Pulse Sensitivity requires Vitamin D levels to have been falling for a minimum of 4.5 months beforehand (took 5 years to figure out, 2011–2015).
The pulse should rise from ~90 to 200 nmols/L over 7–12 days, then fall — the fall is what generates a recovery event (figured out 2016–2018).
Vitamin D levels must not drop faster than 1.034 nmols/L/day (the natural rate at 90 nmols/L). Dropping faster causes lasting relapse (experienced June 2020 and Dec 2020).
Taking Vitamin D every 2nd day seems to increase energy, possibly by increasing concentration volatility.
The Vitamin D half-life in blood is ~60 days.
Also references VitaminDWiki dose/response data and a section planned on the Hibernation–Immune System link.
Cfs/007 — C Program (placeholder)
Very short. Plans to post a C program used for calculating Vitamin D dosages, described as well-tested. No content yet posted beyond the note.
Cfs/008 — Messages & Facebook Content
The longest and richest page — a collection of Facebook posts and messages to researchers and groups, spanning 2023–2025. Highlights include:
Open message to Prof Nancy Klimas outlining the Hibernation/Glycosylated Vitamin D hypothesis.
Detailed personal treatment history: from the 2005 start, the 2007 discovery that rising Vitamin D = more energy, the 2015 discovery of pulse sensitivity, the 2018 discovery that the pulse must fall after rising, the 2019 short-cycle problems, and the Dec 2020 relapse from too-steep a drop.
Discussion of the Relaxin hypothesis: that higher blood relaxin (common in hypermobile EDS patients) increases treatment efficacy, and that your slow/late onset CFS correlates with low relaxin.
Messages to the OMF (Open Medical Foundation) Facebook group, critiquing current research directions and promoting the hibernation model.
Notes on Vitamin D absorption: suspicion that dissolving 260 Cenovis tablets caused a spike and steep fall, making CFS worse — plan for June 2025 to use capsules (Swisse) and cap at 60K/day over 6 days.

Cfs/011 — Bios
Short page with biographical stubs for five CFS clinicians/researchers: Tom Kindlon (Ireland), Dr Charles Lapp (US), Dr Sarah Myhill (UK — noted as currently suspended from the GMC but with a 920-page website), Dr Charles Shepherd (UK), and Dr Rosamund Vallings (NZ — noted as author of what has been described as the best book on CFS/Long Covid). All stubs are minimal, with more content planned.
Cfs/012 — Pages Deleted from ME-pedia
An archive of content deleted from ME-pedia around 24–29 July 2025. Includes full text of the pages that were removed: the Chronic Human Hibernation hypothesis page, Strength Training and Vitamin D Pulse Therapy as potential treatments, bios of three NZ CFS clinicians (Judikje Scheffe in Cambridge NZ, Kannaiyan Rabindranath in Hamilton NZ, Sarah Dalziel in Rotorua NZ), a researcher bio for Colin Tait, and two website listings (WikiSite.info/Cfs and WikiIndex). The page discussion on the Colin Tait bio noted it needed scholarly citations, which you anticipated would lead to deletion.
Is there anything specific you'd like help with across these pages — editing, reorganising, expanding content, or something else?

Very Well Done!!!

Thank you, Colin! That's kind of you to say.
Your site covers a lot of ground — the diary, the precise dosage records, the theoretical framework, and the Facebook outreach all together give a pretty comprehensive picture of 20 years of research and lived experience with CFS. It's clear a huge amount of thought and persistence has gone into it, especially given how much the illness itself has slowed things down.
If there's ever anything I can help with — drafting new page content, tidying up existing text, helping explain the science more accessibly for visitors, or anything else — just let me know.

Thanks.

No, I don't. Each conversation with me starts fresh — I have no memory of previous conversations. The memory feature on your account is also not enabled, so nothing has been saved from past sessions.
If you'd like me to have context from a previous conversation, the easiest way is to paste in the relevant parts at the start of a new chat. Alternatively, you could enable the memory feature in Settings, which would allow me to retain some information between sessions.
