I don't understand all the science, but understand some of it. At least he
is trying to approach his problem from a scientific way, which it should be
approached from.

I appreciate the post as well: yes some of it is complicated, but it's
good information. Recently there has been a push at medical
conferences to highlight the almost universal deficiency of vit D and
the fact that is really acts more like a hormone than a vitamin, and
that most people should get about 1000 IU/day. I've been checking vit
D levels (the lab normal is 20--but the endocrinologists want the
levels at 40-50): I see a lot of post menopausal women with
osteoporosis, and live in the northeast, so that's how I started to
check. Everyone has run low. People have felt so much better when they
supplement with vit D. The optimal levels to take/day isn't known yet,
but up to 10,000 units is considered safte. There was actually an
article in my local paper about it a couple of days ago.
So, reading about the butyrate and the interaction with vit D was
interesting. Also, a friend of my daughter is suffering from Crohn's.
You're right: medicine has a limited set of answers. That's why we
share on this group. Sometimes you can't summarize it completely in
layman's terms.
Thanks for the post.
Judy

A year ago I tested at 18 and my doctor recommended 1000IU daily.
This year I tested at 43. However, recently I read that too high
a vit D level can cause calcium plaques. I understand that they
are not so good if they occur in your arteries.

If you are seeing 20 as an average level is that because of age
or you are testing people in the northeast? What is the average
test level in the south?

Hi Kofi,

I am late joining this discussion, but a member of the Graves_Support
Yahoo board sent me the link to this page, since it gave more
information about the HDAC/HAT enzymes I've been investigating for the
past month. My son and I have Graves Disease (as well as numerous
allergies), and I became very excited about the recent (Mar 2007)
discovery that when the HDAC enzyme is turned off (or when the HAT
enzyme is turned on) people with the genetic code for Graves disease
(PTPN22 on the FOXP3) will not develop Graves disease! But should
either of those change, the RegT cell for PTPN22 will vanish!

My quest has been to search for ANYTHING that will turn off the HDAC
*AND/OR* turn on the HAT.

So imagine my surprise when I was pointed to your first post in this
thread!!! BRILLIANT!!

I'm on my way to buy some Butyrate right now....and definiately more
fiber (which I already eat much of since colon cancer is a strong
genetic trait in my family). Now I see the evidence that Butyrate
will help with all of the problems that seem to be affecting my entire
family!

How do you take your Butyrate? And have you heard that mangoes are
also high in Butyrate?

Thanks again!
BK

Can you send me PMIDs on these research results? I'd like to look at
the abstracts.

You might wish to review my postings over the last six months. I've
extensively discussed the relationship between digestion and
autoimmunity. In particular, you might find relief from helminths.

The oral dose used in clinical trials for Crohn's is 6g daily with
meals. I take it with carnitine (which, at high doses, may affect
thyroid function) to help the butyrate absorb.
