Title: Gotta tell ya this. Vit D-3 Post by lorac on Oct 15th, 2009 at 6:52pm
Hey...I went to town today, and was having a low kip headache .. Tried the O2, but it didn't help this time.
I stoped into the local health food store, and was getting some Taurine, and Kudzu. While waiting, I looked over and saw the Vitamin D-3 sitting there, and after reading Neils post about the CH cure today, I thought ....what the heck..so I bought a bottle. Went on my way, (still with that nagging headache, just a bit more than a shadow ) While at the red light, I opened the bottle, and got one out.... The bottle said they were lemon flavored. WHY..when you just swallow ..would they be lemon flavor? so I read the bottle. It said to hold it under your tongue, let it dissolve. OK. To my surprise, within 5 minutes, my HA was GONE! Don't know for sure if it was that, but I can't say how happy I was to get rid of that HA...especially while driving, with several more stops to make. So I just thought I would share this, and if it helps any one else ,,,Hurrah! The stuff I got is made by Solaray. Vitamin D-3 2000 IU. Fresh lemon flavor lozenges with xylitol the web site on the bottle is...www.nutraceutical.com It cost $9.59 per 60 Just had to share this, I shall try it again next HA. Like I said...Can't be sure it was that...but it's worth checking out. eh! Let me know what you think. :) lorac |

According to the Dr I work for Vitamin D is a lot more important than we used to think....Its kind of like the "new" C....She is now advising all of us in the office to take about 4 to 5000 units per day to support our immune system during the flu season. She said to take 50,000 units for 3 days then back down to 5000. Wild huh? I know there are toxic levels, but apparently we can have more than what used to be accepted with good results. So....with all thats going around after a very very long cluster cycle for me
(16 weeks), I'm happy to be building my body up. Love and prayers to you all, Karen |

I'll take your love, but please don't pray to me. Pray to someone who can do something about it. ;) |

How long did the headache stay gone until you got your next one? |

Stayed gone till 11:30 pm...ususall time for hit.
the afternoon hit was about 2:00. and my 5:00 hit was really mild too. Had another this morn, at 8:am...and tried the D-3 again....It did kill it, although it was a very mild one. I will keep ya'll posted, I plan on trying this on several. lorac |

I tried it this morning. Didn't work at all.
I'll keep trying though. I've got a $10 bottle full of D-3. |

Brew...when I did it the second time, it took forever...then I remembered the first time, I actually chewed it a little, then put under my toungue.
second time I didn't, and then remembered, so did chew it up a little. and it did work. Who knows might be a fluke or something....but I am going to keep trying it. :D ;) :) |

This could just be coincidental but it's known that sunlight is one of the best ways of getting vitamin D & I live in an area where sunlight is in abundance, if we get a cloud everyone runs for cover in case the sky falls in. :o
It may just be that this "D" coupled with the magnesium/calcium, taurine I am taking is responsible for the lengthy break I am having. Food for thought. Cheers Barry |

Ya...according to karens post, you can take quite a bit, so maybe next time I'll take two.
and chomp em up a bit before they go under the tounge. And I did kill one again last night at 5pm...but it came back at 7pm. O2 killed it in no time. Then never woke up with the 11:30pm hit. :) Feeling pretty good now :) hope it keeps up! |
Title: Re: Gotta tell ya this. Vit D-3 Post by Brew on Oct 17th, 2009 at 8:50am
Tried twice again. Still nothing. Had to scramble for the O2 (and I hate doing that - O2 can be worthless in high cycle, especially if you get at it too late).
I'm abandoning this one. |
Title: Re: Gotta tell ya this. Vit D-3 Post by lorac on Oct 18th, 2009 at 8:19am
Sorry to hear that Brew... I have been worried about you suffering more for it.
BUT..It continues to work for me. :) Just shows how different we all are. I took two D3 this time, and same result...took the HA away within 5 minutes. Can't explain it. but I also take calcium,magnesium,zinc, and the D. I am on low dose of Verapamil, and am trying to get off of it, so I hope this will help with that. :) |
