Coincidence or not?
May 25^th, 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.

Reply #1 - May 25^th, 2013 at 9:33am 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. Joe

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.

Reply #5 - May 25^th, 2013 at 9:46pm 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

D3 is the form of vitamin D you take orally.
