> HI Gary > what was you d3 level at its high point again?? and how long ago was that…?? to play ti safe just keep taking the k2…you’re probably fine> you might have aggravated an underlying magnesium deficeincy> go get your self some magnesium supplements and load u> Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency> The first symptoms of deficiency can be subtle – as most magnesium is stored in the tissues, leg cramps, foot pain, or muscle ‘twitches’ can be the first sign. Other early signs of deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, seizures, personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms can occur.> A full outline of magnesium deficiency was beautifully presented in a recent article by Dr. Sidney Baker. “Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can’t take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot.”> “Symptoms involving impaired contraction of smooth muscles include constipation; urinary spasms; menstrual cramps; difficulty swallowing or a lump in the throat-especially provoked by eating sugar; photophobia, especially difficulty adjusting to oncoming bright headlights in the absence of eye disease; and loud noise sensitivity from stapedius muscle tension in the ear.”> “Other symptoms and signs of magnesium deficiency and discuss laboratory testing for this common condition. Continuing with the symptoms of magnesium deficiency, the central nervous system is markedly affected. Symptoms include insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness with constant movement, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and premenstrual irritability. Magnesium deficiency symptoms involving the peripheral nervous system include numbness, tingling, and other abnormal sensations, such as zips, zaps and vibratory sensations.”> “Symptoms or signs of the cardiovascular system include palpitations, heart arrhythmias, and angina due to spasms of the coronary arteries, high blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse. Be aware that not all of the symptoms need to be present to presume magnesium deficiency; but, many of them often occur together. For example, people with mitral valve prolapse frequently have palpitations, anxiety, panic attacks and premenstrual symptoms. People with magnesium deficiency often seem to be “uptight.” Other general symptoms include a salt craving, both carbohydrate craving and carbohydrate intolerance, especially of chocolate, and breast tenderness.”> Magnesium is needed by every cell in the body including those of the brain. It is one of the most important minerals when considering supplementation because of its vital role in hundreds of enzyme systems and functions related to reactions in cell metabolism, as well as being essential for the synthesis of proteins, for the utilization of fats and carbohydrates. Magnesium is needed not only for the production of specific detoxification enzymes but is also important for energy production related to cell detoxification. A magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every system of the body.>
Hello Jeff!> I was not able to get the calcium test done back in January. Since then I’ve not taken D very often and when I have it has been 5K. I have remained taking the super K though and recently ran out. Since my last writing to you, Jan 14th, I’ve not experienced any symptoms of kidney stones. However, last week and even today, I have felt some discomfort in my bladder, kidney and oddly, soreness in my thigh muscles. How long does it take for D levels to come down? What else could I be doing to ensure safety…?>
Whoa!! Really? I’ve been taking super K and I guess will just stop the D for now… I usually take 1 Superk for every 10k of D. How long should I stop for?? Thank you so much for getting back to me. > > You are awesome, sir!> > Gary> > On Jan 14, 2016, at 1:09 PM, jeffbo@aol.com wrote:> >> that is quite high! you might want to get a more accurate test…..keeping it under 200 is very important > >> and make sure you are taking lots of k2 so you dont get kidney stones or get elevated calcium you should run to the dr or order from www.lef.org a blood calcium test the level of d3 can’t urt you it is only bad if it causes your blood calcium to go too high….le tme know how your calcium test goes.jeff

From: Gary Perez <gprez@mac.com Subject: Re: Vitamin/Hormone D3 Mega-dosing! Wow!! Thanks for your speedy reply!!! He has been doing 50k of D3 and Super K since November 16th 2015.My brother is in his mid-40s and about 180lbs at 5’6″ or so. Not sure if that helps.On Dec 28, 2015, at 2:19 PM, jeffbo@aol.com wrote:Hi Gary Thanks for writing..How long has he been mega dosing?? 169 is a pretty good score not too scary as long as he is taking his k2…that is about the highest level I got to while taking about 65,000 iu a day for maybe 3 months during my iniital 3 months of taking 25,000 a day…I had quite severe pain in my shouilders and hip and if ibuprofen did not stop it I would back off and stop taking d3 for a week or 2 and start up again at a lower dose….maybe 10,000…..o the big question is how long has he been doing ? it takes abourt 2 to 3 months to get through the major pain hump… From: Gary Perez <gprez@mac.com>. I contact you today to tell you there are many people have been helping to heal with having them get on large doses and tapering them off. My brother though has been in serious pain in both shoulders and his hip-flexors and hips. He has been mega-dosing and taking his bloods. Just yesterday his HYDROXY D returned at 169 for his “value” and I was wondering, what you thought may be a next move for him. I told him to stop for 2 weeks and at that point to begin again at 25K per day. I would appreciate any thughts you may have. Thank you again, Gary
