@BoscoPiko you've outdone yourself with that meme - I came across it last night when I was still at the tail end of a bust, and wasn't sure if that was influencing my perception of it being toweringly magnificent, but it still holds its power this morning. Saw the original version of Carrie way back in the day. She did get pretty burning mad herself.

You do you. Bold experimentation got many people at this site to the better place where they are now, so no one is going to deny your privilege to do the same. If you reach the grail and share it, we all will benefit. But I'd be careful about putting too much stock in the quotes you provide here, since they are from a study of people who don't absorb vitamin D or absorb it very poorly -- "patients with malabsorption syndromes" as the article's title says. So it stands to reason that they can cite the research you mention showing malabsorption in these patients, but it doesn't say anything at all about people with normal absorption. One reason I looked at the study is that the quotes you provide so are contradictory to what has been observed time and again with the D3 regimen, where D levels go up significantly as people take more D3 (and not D2, which is the stated product in one of the quotes). The "minimal erythemal dose" mentioned in one quote means "the minimum amount of x-rays or other form of radiation sufficient to produce redness of the skin after application, regarded as the dose that is safe to give at one time." You would have to create a whole lot of redness, or mild sunburn, all over your body day after day, to get to a substantial daily dose of D. The increases reported in this study from using the sunlamps for eight weeks might be beneficial to the patients in the study, but they are trivial in relationship to getting D to a level where it makes a difference for CH. Plus, it appears that the tanning machine (not cost-free) couldn't sustain increases. Maybe the first quote, about sunlight, is accurate. But there have been many people here who have believed that their pattern of daily activities, from working outside to a lot of daily outdoor recreation or gardening, would have given them a satisfactory D level -- and were surprised to find out that they were at or below even the minimum level, let alone the substantially higher level needed to combat CH. I don't know what they are considering the "daily body requirements" in that quote, but the level of D required to combat CH is substantially higher than what medicine considers to be the "daily body requirements." Like I say, bless you in your search for a "non-invasive & cost-free preventative." Something is working for you now, which is great, and who knows what you might discover.

You couldn't blame it Shaun! This housing needs all new wiring and what not, as the short circuits are bound to start a fire...Gosh wishing to be Kerrie is awful, But...

@BoscoPikothat's it new name from today Bosco (AKA Drew)

Watched 'Firestarter' yesterday Bosco. That kid should be blond and named Barrymore!!! I know, there is a new one coming out.

I'll back @BoscoPiko up on that!!! There were some things said in a post that could be taken as offensive (they were taken that way by me, and my personal bonnet was becoming uncomfortable for a sec there), but the original poster kindly and voluntarily edited them out, so I feel like we're all good now, family back in harmony.

No worries at all. I'm glad that you have found a quality of life through due diligence. It wasn't even your post that put a burr in my bonnet. I'm just a good old fashioned A-hole. No big deal that you are not using O2, we all have to be our own best advocate as no one else will. Cups up to your continued success!

Gosh dang it if that's not a fair description of the feeling lol!!

The beast farting inside your head . Just a thought

I reckon it's your brain trying to escape Bosco.

You really should go back to your doctor and ask for the oxygen .I promise you it will become your best friend !!!!!!!! I love seeing my tanks of o2 in my house it gives me great comfort to know they are their What Shaun said is just what I was thinking (I notice that my thinking apparently contains a lot of typos!) You can't run away from having it, but when you face it, you can do wise things to make it a whole lot less bad. You clearly are searching for those things, as everyone here is, and coming up with some interesting discoveries. But it's hard for me to see a reason why you wouldn't go for the D3 regimen full-bore, give busting a try, get oxygen, and maybe even give the new CGRP medications a shot (among other things).
