Hey, Jeff.
I read your book, which I thing is great, and since people say you actually get back to them when they contact you I decided to try.
Have you ever heard of someone that started taking D3 and felt thirsty/dry mouth 24/7 non stop? No amount of water can do. Plus, on the third day after uping to 20000ui a day I thought I was gonna die after getting up from the couch after a short nap and my heart started racing like crazy and I was only able to breath again when I sat on the floor. It was really scary. I think this had happened to me only once or twice in the past decade that I can remember but it’s my first time taking vitamin D3. I’ve already been on Magniseum and also Omega 3 for more than a year now and after these symptoms and reading your book decided to take K2 Mk7. Today was the first day taking K2 and I haven’t taken D3, only the other vitamins. Will be taking 10000ui tomorrow and the next days to see how it goes. However am really intrigued by this thirst thing.
Hello there!
Congratulatons you have just discovered that even though you take magensium
You are still severely magnesium deficient. High dose d3 uses up your magnesium much faster than normal
and if you are deficient it can trigger immediate magnesium deficiency sympoms like excessive thirst and heart racing
other common symptoms dizziness panic attacks insomnia anxiety muscle cramps and even hallucinations and seizures!!! etc
stop the d3 for now and you need to make a concerted effort to reverse your magnesium deficiency by taking small doses throguout the day it has to be in your blood at all times as much as possible so as your tissues regenerate they incorporate the magnesium it takes a life time to get really deficient and takes a year or more to completely reverse it!! 80% of us are magnesium deficienct due to centuries of soil and food depletion..and the blood test doctros give you is worthless only 1% of our magneisum is in our blood and 99% in our tissues. You get reall y thirsty as your body is looking for more magnesium which is found in many waters in wells …an ancient instinct
taking all your magnesium at once each day will not work as it will give you diarrhea in big doses and you will not absorb much
I reccomend getting www.lef.org’s extended release magnesium and take 500 mg at least 2x a day for about 2-3 weeks or longer
before you try the high dose d3..You can keep increasign the dose until yu get diarrhea..if it lasts longer than a week cut back a bit until you just have soft stools…
and start with smaller doses of d3 and work your way up when you start again…
I think k2 can also use up your magnesium as well especially the mk7 type mk4 is not as aggravating.
This effect of d3 is not that common but s way more common than hypercalcemia and doctors confue k2 and magnnesium deficiency symptoms with “vitamin D3 toxicity” which does not exist ..Vitamin D3 itself is completely non toxic… No such thing as vitamin d3 toxicity..Yet almost all the doctors believe it! It kee[s them in business!
I will send you the magnesium chapter of my 2019 book avaiable at amazon
how much magnesium do you take and how often??
and will send a dosing email let me know how it goes!!! Jeff
ver am really intrigued by this thirst thing.
