gidday Lancashire,
agree with most of what you posted, great post.
and I mean that.
My only retort would be that if " multiple studies" showed that an elevated use of D3 carries with it a potential of death from heart disease, that's great, but there have been more studies contradicting this fact and even more evidence on record that there has never been a reported death of elevated use of D3. That's a fact.
Including I might add a clinical study in place measuring the effects of D3 on Alzheimer patents ! I think your very selective in facts you put up, or very very under researched.
we all know for a fact, cigarette smoking causes lung cancer among other things, so its an invalid comparison. but there's yet to be factual evidence of the studies you quote.
D3 is not for everyone, its a choice, but when you chimed in on a conversation calling someones decision to titrate up and called it ridiculous and dangerous ( from memory) it then became your personal beliefs from unquantified studies which to date cant be validated.
Its the same thing that you ask of people not to criticise or judge on your use of indomethacin, should also mean the same with you telling someone not to titrate up, can you see the comparison I'm making here ?
Recently Batch got hung and quartered by a poster for potentially scaring people into not using conventional drugs because he put up the factual death rates from commonly used CH treatment drugs ! If you could point to some factual, documented deaths or heart disease caused by elevated use of D3, not "multiple studies" Then you would have a right to advise posters of that documented evidence, as you did.
Listen, that's water under the bridge, we both got our points across, but don't expect me or anyone else to agree and take every word you say as fact and not open for debate, that's never going to happen, you believe in one lot of evidence, but many more of us believe in other medical papers contradicting yours. Its our choice, just like your indomethacin choice, you have to accept we don't follow your path and mindset.
but apart from that, I do hope an alternative to indomethacin turns up for you, that's horrible stuff, but we take what we need, no one deserves to be in pain.
On the ongoing nature of this post, well, nothing and I mean nothing justifies abusive responses to new posters, whether they be Ch sufferers or even spammers. I wouldn't care if it was a moderator ( only an example

) or the fossel mob who seem to think the length of time gives them a dispensation on how they act. Hopefully this thread ends, as I think everyone has expressed how they feel and that should be that I suppose, this is my last post on the issue.
all the best
