I REALLY WAS CURED IN 7 DAYS!!!

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I was cured in 7 days of a myriad of symptoms using the method this doctor describes. I bought the book because the title so accurately described how quickly I felt better. Now I understand why taking mega-doses of Vttamin D restores your health so quickly…and where to go from here. Let me share the nightmare to hallelujah journey I’ve taken the last six months. I’ll try to be brief!1. Starting last winter I had zero energy, was depressed, just generally felt really old. That had never been me before, but that’s how I felt. I thought spring would bring a change…it didn’t.
2. Happened to get the results from the blood tests , etc. for my yearly physical prior to seeing my doctor. High blood calcium level. High red blood cell count, high A1C, osteoporosis, all relatively new problems and didn’t quite fit with living a fairly healthy lifestyle and not having weight issues.
3. Began educating myself as to what the test results meant. Rather than just going back to my PCP, I made an appointment at the closest, well-respected, internationally known hospitals. [BTW…I got an appt. quickly, didn’t need a doctor’s referral, and they accepted by AETNA Medicare insurance. The appointment and tests cost a whopping $25.] I wasn’t going to mess around. I wanted to feel better and fast!
4. My “research” pointed to hyperparathyroidism. I had all the symptoms and blood tests that suggested I could be right. BEST WEBSITE EVER: Norman Parathyroid Clinic, but it’s in Florida and I’m not, so I opted for the #1 [or #2 ] ranked hospital in Endocrinology, which was closer to me.
5. The endocrinologist suggested trying Vitamin D first. She suggested 1,000 mg. daily. My online research disagreed so I tried another doctor from the same place [NOT a good idea, but I was determined to feel better FAST!] He agreed with Doctor #1, but suggested 5,000 mg. per day.
6. I still didn’t agree…after all, what did they know!?! I contacted Norman Parathyroid Clinic. It’s an awesome place. I sent all previous blood test results. After going over the results, one of the doctors called me. [He had previously worked with Doctors #1 and #2, but had recently moved to Norman.] His opinion…I MIGHT have hyperparathyroidism, but it’s often difficult to determine for sure. I could have the surgery, but he couldn’t say for sure they’d find anything. Instead, he suggested a weekly dose of 50,000 IU of Vitamin D. I was to do this for 8 weeks. He wrote a prescription for 2 blood tests….one after four weeks and one after eight weeks. This was the best route to determine whether it was a problem with my parathyroid or a Vitamin D issue.
7. I agreed. After all, if the doctor who specialized in parathyroid surgery suggested Vitamin D…I figured it was worth taking the time! Besides, he was suggesting the mega-dose. Within a week of my first dose, I felt much better. Within 2 weeks, I felt 20 years younger…full of energy, no back aches or achy bones, a lot more strength, not depressed or feeling blah. I was back!!!!
8. The problem was….I didn’t know why I felt so good. I had read tons of info about Vitamin D, but nothing came out and stated what the symptoms really felt like or gave any case histories or explained why I felt so badly when my Vitamin D level was only a smidge under normal [normal >30. Mine was 28.7]
BOTTOM LINE…This book explains everything! It’s not surprising that it comes from a European doctor. In the US, not much research has been done regarding either the parathyroid or Vitamin D. And my understanding is that not much is taught in med school, either. WHY? Neither condition brings in big bucks for the pharmaceutical companies. Hyperparathyroidism resolves after the bad parathyroid is removed. It’s not cured by a “magic” pill. Vitamin D is cheap to produce..no money there, either. HOWEVER, treating the symptoms of both requires dozens of prescriptions…meds needed for depression, back aches, bone aches, high cholesterol, high A1C, difficulty sleeping. Seriously, the list goes on and on.
Seriously…I truly felt like a new person in 7 days. AND…my A1C is back to normal. I’m happy, energetic, and don’t need the chiropractor anymore.
This book has been the only resource I have found that really lays out the information I needed about Vitamin D.
The Parathyroid doctor will be calling within the next day or 2 and I bet he’s going to confirm that it was a Vitamin D issue and not my parathyroid.
Sooo…if you have been feeling like something the cat dragged in…read this book and make an appointment with your doctor. You’ll be armed with a much better understanding of the effects of Vitamin D on your body. In fact, you might even know more than your doctor. Don’t blame the doctor, though…the US is just lagging in research and the reports are conflicting and confusing.
