  1. My husband and I take all of them, including the Quercetin and Turmeric. My blood work is where it needs to be too. Well, D3 is at 105, but they know why. I am pretty sure that Batch recommends both of them now with COVID out there.

  2. Hey Bilal, Good question. Before I give you my take on maintaining higher doses of vitamin D3 as a long term maintenance dose, I need answers - What are the results of your most recent lab assays for 25(OH)D3, calcium and PTH? As long as your serum calcium remains within its normal reference range, your PTH stays above the minimum for PTH and you're taking all the vitamin D3 cofactors, there's really nothing wrong maintaining higher maintenance doses of vitamin D3. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients on the Coimbra Protocol, take a 1000 IU vitamin D3 per Kg body weight per day. For a sleek rascal like me weighing in at 84 Kg, I would be taking 84,000 IU/day vitamin D3 on this protocol. MS patients on the Coimbra protocol do this for life and 95% of Dr. Coimbra's MS patients are in complete remission. Some have even had MS lesions completely disappear. The payback is they must avoid foods high in calcium like all dairy products and they need to drink 2.5 liters of water a day. Take care and please keep us posted. V/R, Batch

  3. Hello Everyone, I'm sorry it took so long to post an update, I wanted to be completely sure before posting anything. I took Batch's advice and implemented the changes mentioned above. Within 3 weeks I was 100% pain free. No more headaches or shadows, no watering of the right eye. I was dreading what would happen if the D3 Regimen stopped working for me, but thanks to the wonderful people on this forum I don't have to worry about that any more. On a side note, I noticed that reducing inflammation really helped me out with my workouts. I had injured my forearm three different times trying to do pullups, I even followed all the guidelines and took incremental steps toward my goal by starting with chair assisted pull ups and then moving on to resistance bands. But every time I attempted a pull up, I would notice that sharp pain on the outside of my elbow again. That all changed when I increased my dose of vitamin D and added Turmeric and Quercetin to my daily dose of supplements. I can now do pull ups without assistance and rarely feel that sharp pain in my elbow. I would like to know if there are any side effects of continuing with my supplementation in the long term. Can I keep taking 50000 IU of Vitamin D along with Turmeric and Quercetin every day without problems? If anyone knows, I would really appreciate some advice, because these supplements really help prevent injury. Regards, Bilal

  4. Hey Bilal, Good move on switching to the Bio-Tech D3-50. Data for 2019 from the online survey of CHers reporting since 2011, indicated an up-tick in raw efficacy from 82% to 88% of CHers responding with a significant reduction in the frequency of their CH or a complete cessation of CH in the first 30 days after I started suggesting this change due to its higher bioequivalence compared to the oil-based vitamin D3 liquid softgel formulations. There's nothing wrong with zinc glycinate so no need to change. There appears to be a higher bioequivalence in the Methyl Folate + compared to the generic B complex. Regarding safe dosing with vitamin D3. A recent article in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the following link, concluded in the results of a seven year study: There were no cases of vitamin D3 induced hypercalcemia a.k.a., vitamin D3 intoxication/toxicity at higher vitamin D3 doses and that long-term supplementation with vitamin D3 in doses ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 IU/day appears to be safe. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960076018306228 The following chart from this study illustrates it takes a long time for a stable dose of 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 to reach a 25(OH)D3 equilibrium. The takeaway from this graphic points out the need to load vitamin D3 at higher doses (50,000 IU/day to 100,000 IU/day) to reach a therapeutic 25(OH)D3 response for CH in a matter of days where a maintenance dose of 10,000 IU/day can take 10 months. That's clearly too long if the CH beast is jumping ugly and a likely reason too many CHers claim this treatment protocol is ineffective for them. Watching the presentation by Dr. Ryan Cole on vitamin D3 at the following link is a must for everyone. https://www.bitchute.com/video/hfzL5gUeQvxr/ Take care and please keep us posted. V/R, Batch

  5. Here are the results from the online survey I urge CHers to take 30 days after starting the anti-inflammatory regimen, with results of their 25(OH)D3 labs in hand. The following chart illustrates days to a favorable response from start of regimen. As you can see, this can happen rapidly. For the purpose of this study, I set the Favorable Response = at least a 70% reduction in CH frequency by at least 70% of the CHers starting it. I just checked the latest survey download from two days ago. After 9 years running, survey data from 340 CHers indicate 82% of CHers starting this regimen experience an 82% reduction in CH frequency in the first 30 days and 52% of CHers starting this regimen experience a lasting cessation of their CH symptoms. Another interesting tidbit. Since I began suggesting CHers switch to the Bio-Tech D3-50 50,000 IU water soluble vitamin D3 in June of 2018, the efficacy figures for 2019 and 2020 have jumped to 88.9% of CHers starting this regimen in 2019-2020 achieving a mean 80% reduction in the frequency of their CH in the first 30 days. Moreover, 66.7% of CHers starting this regimen in this same time frame report a lasting CH pain free response in the first 30 days. That's huge! Thank all of you who started this regimen then took the time to take the online survey. You've all made these results possible so this is really your study. I'll also add, the data from this study was so compelling, it resulted in the planned gold standard RCT based on this regimen developed by Dr. Mark Burish, MD, PhD, Director Will Erwin Headache Research Center, UT Houston. It's scheduled to start early next year. When it publishes with the results I expect, you'll have helped CHers all over the world. Well done! Take care, V/R. Batch
