Title: Coincidence or not? Post by Hoppy on May 25th, 2013 at 3:49am
HI All,
I saw my GP last year for a routine check. After having blood test's and X rays, i went back for my results. I was told i had Osteoporosis in my spine, and my vitamin D level was just about nonexistant. He suggested i go to my Pharmacy and buy some Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D3, and to take 500mg daily of the Calcium & Magnesium, and 5,000iu of Vit D3. I was allready taking a multivitamin daily, also fish oil concentrate. I still went through 3 month's of hell during the Spring, but for the first time no Autumn cycle. I would like to thank "BATCH" for his Vit D3 Regime, which i'm following to the letter, and praying my CH are gone forever. Cheers, Hoppy. |

I'm not much of a believer in coincidence! 3 years pain free on the Batch regimen. Curious if you've had your D-3 checked lately, would be curious to see it's level now! Hoping like me, you can keep beasty FAR in the rear view mirror.

Hi Joe,
I had a test earlier this year, and my Vitamin D level was said to be in the normal range. What ever that mean's.? Hoppy. |

From Batch's Page:
The normal reference range for 25(OH)D in the US is 30-100 ng/mL, However, results from the online survey indicate CH'ers presenting with active CH before starting the anti-inflammatory regimen have tested at an average of 28.7 ng/mL, (71.75 nmol/L), min = 8.4 ng/mL, max = 64.0 ng/mL. Moreover, CH'ers who have used this regimen and experienced a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of their CH or gone pain free and then had this test have had an average 25(OH)D serum concentration of 81.4 ng/mL. (203.5 nmol/L), min = 34.0 ng/mL, max = 149.0 ng/mL. Normal is relative with D-3, we need to test in the high end to effectively block the beast. Joe |

I'm going to see my GP later this year for blood test's. I'll get
him to write down my D-3 level, and check it against your post. Will get back to you on this one. Hoppy |

I have not used it, Just mention it because so many others have had success. From a survey a while back this was the formula you should look for:
n-Acetyl-5-Methoxytryptamine. Joe |

Actually you should have him write down your 25(OH)D level. D3 is the form of vitamin D you take orally. |
