    Hi Batch,

    It seems like you're the go-to-guy when it comes to questions about the Vit D protocol (thank you for being so helpful to all of us!).

    Anyway, I'm facing a dilemma. I had my cluster headaches return recently (8/17) and started the anti-inflammatory protocol right away (all supplements included) with the 50,000 IU loading dose. I did not get a chance to have my blood tested before starting, but I did 50,000 IU for 7 days, and then dropped to 40,000 IU for 5 days (today was my last day of 40,000 IU). I was planning on dropping down to 10,000 IU tomorrow.

    However, my blood was tested yesterday and I just got the results. My Calcium levels are in the normal range (though, at the very top of the range), but my Vit D is 120 ng/mL. My doctor is urging me to stop the Vit D supplementation because of this level. If the protocol had seemed to be helping with my headaches, I would be more inclined to push back against this advice. However, my headaches have, if anything, gotten worse over the course of the past two weeks.

    I'm at a loss of what to do. Should the anti-inflammatory protocol have made some beneficial difference by now? (Again, I'm following the supplement and diet instructions exactly). Does it usually take longer to notice a reduction in headaches even at a level like 120 ng/mL?

    Should I stop the Vit D and get a retest in the future? Should I drop to a lower dose? I don't want to jeopardize the chances of the protocol working, but I also don't want ill-effects of too much Vit D.

    Thanks so much for any advice you may have!

      Thank you for the thorough response.

      I'm wondering if I should continue taking calcium as a cofactor, or if I should stop that for a while?

      Also, is there a link to the most recent anti-inflammatory protocol?

      Thanks,
      Skyler

      Skyler,

      If you're taking the suggested Kirkland brand Adult 50+ Mature Multi, you're getting the right amount of calcium at 230 mg/day.

      I'll need your email address to send you the latest draft version of the anti-inflammatory regimen.  It's too big to attach in this blog.  It should provide what you're looking for, but it's still a work in progress and not ready for prime time so don't pass it on or post.  You can also shoot me an email at pete.batcheller@verizon.net.

      Take care and please keep me posted

      V/R, Batch
