Title: RCT: High Dose Vitamin D Plus Multi to Prevent CH
Post by Batch on Sep 30th, 2020 at 1:46pm
To all,

This is a dream come true.

This is the gold standard RCT protocol I've been working with Dr. Mark Burish, MD, PhD., Will Erwin Headache Research Center, UT Houston Health Science Center to develop for almost a year at this point.   We cut a lot of corners getting the protocol down to two pills with two look alike placebos and no loading dose, but I'm confident this dose will result in at least 70% of CHers responding with a significant reduction in the frequency of their CH during the course of this protocol.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

We've long had the anecdotal evidence of the success of this regimen so it'll be nice to see it backed up by the scientific evidence.

A good job well done.

It doesn't say how much vitamin D they were taking?

Cheers, Hoppy

Great work Batch.

Confirms what a lot of us know, but very important to have official results.

I spoke to Mark Burish a few months ago. Great to have his commitment to the cause.

Peter.

Congrats, Batch! The vitamin D regimen certainly changed my life over the last five years. I just this week had my first ch since March 2018,when I got slack on the regimen and knocked it right back out with a load, and haven't had one since starting the regimen in Jan 2015 before that. So I am back on the site seeing what the latest news is. This is great news and will benefit many people going forward. Thanks for you hard, sustained work!
Jay

Hey Jay,

Thank you for the feedback and kind words.  They mean a lot to me.

There's another very important benefit made possible by taking this vitamin D3 regimen, a boosted immune system that's capable of fighting off viral infections including COVID-19. 

My wife and I have not had the flu since starting this regimen in October of 2010.  Neither of us have contracted COVID-19 and it's very likely we've been exposed while on travel.  I've also had three RT-PCR assays for the SARS-CoV-2 virus between June and September of this year as a requirement for travel to Alaska.  All three assays were negative.

I've also had a number of CHers taking this regimen come to me saying they've had close contact with members of their families who did come down with COVID-19, yet these CHers have not been infected so remain COVID-19 free.

My suggestion is to get all members of your family taking this regimen if for no other reason than to help protect against COVID-19.  I've had my entire family taking this regimen for the last 9 years and none of them have CH.

The following graphics make this very clear.  You don't need rocket science of a degree in medicine with years of clinical experience to comprehend the message they send.

This last graphic came from a gold standard RCT.

Take care and thanks again for the update and kind words,

V/R, Batch

What is a HIGH level of D3? The study doesn't mention how much the subjects took and improved with?

Hey Handlink,

We intentionally left off the vitamin D3 dose used in this RCT for several good reasons.  That said, as this RCT is based on the anti-inflammatory regimen I developed in 2010, you can safely assume the vitamin D3 dose will be at least equal to the dose I suggest.

Hope this helps

Take care,

V/R, Batch
