Update on D3

I have not had a cluster in two weeks!!!  The D3 regiment started to take effect after about 7 days.  The headaches started to reduce in pain and frequency.  They became more manageable at that point.  This vitamin regiment makes me feel better in more ways than one.  I was prescribed prednisone during week 3.  I feel like the prednisone helped expedite the process,  but the Vitamin reg already had already helped so much so it's hard to say if prednisone was nessicary.

 

A special shout out to Batch for donating his time for people in need of help.  THANK YOU!

Hey Henrithree,

Thank you for the wonderful feedback on your response to this vitamin D3 regimen and the kind words.  You need to understand this regimen is just a preventative and not a one-time, single-shot cure for CH.  In order to enjoy its many healthy benefits and CH free quality of life, you'll need to take it daily year round... even if you're episodic. 

Data we've collected since December of 2010 indicate adults on this regimen burn serum 25(OH)D at a rate of roughly 14 ng/mL/month (35 nmol/L/month).  That means if you have a 10 ng/mL (25 nmol/L) reserve above the tipping point serum concentration where CH hit, missing a day or two of vitamin D3 is not a problem.  Skip a few weeks or stop taking this regimen and your CH will return.

There are a few things you need to know about this regimen.  Infections, allergies, surgery and trauma can deplete your 25(OH)D reserves rapidly.  They also elevate the CH tipping point serum concentration.  Accordingly, if you experience any of the above medical conditions, it's prudent to increase the daily maintenance dose from 10,000 IU/day up to 15,000 IU/day to 20,000 IU/day or higher until the symptoms clear.  This should help you avoid falling out of CH remission.

As this regimen is good for you, it's also good for the rest of the family.   This regimen is so healthy for us and so safe, I have my entire family and close friends taking it and they don't have CH.  That includes my three youngest grand kids, 18 months through six years of age.  They've been bathed in maternal vitamin D3 since conception and through breast feeding as my daughter and niece started taking this regimen in 2012. 

All three pregnancies and full-term deliveries were flawless.  These three kids have T-Rex immune systems... They don't get sick.  On top of that, they have a phenomenal rate of physical and mental development.  These three and the other five grand kids along with a herd of grand nephews and grand nieces get a vitamin D3 dose of 50 IU per pound of body weight per day.

Finally, when you've been on this regimen for at least a month, please see your PCP/GP or neurologist for lab tests of your serum 25(OH)D, calcium and PTH.  When you have the results for these labs in hand, please find the time to take the online survey of CHers taking this regimen to prevent their CH.  To start this survey, click on the following link:

This survey data is important for all of us as it helps convince neurologists and headache specialists the anti-inflammatory regimen is a safe and healthy CH prophylaxis they can suggest to their patients with CH and migraines. 

Take care and please keep us posted.

V/R, Batch
