So informative, but more questionsBy Susan on 12 February 2016

This book is fascinating. Yes, the author jumps about a bit, and it would benefit from proper editing, but his enthusiasm for the subject shines out, and he has obviously extensively researched it. The book is very informative and he is clear on the need for balance with Vit K2. I have 2 questions that I hope someone can answer. 1 ~ Several people have referred to arthritis being cured. Do they mean rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis?
2 ~ After 10 days of 30,000 IUs Vit D3 and 3 daily softgels of Life Extension Super K, I notice my heart pounding fast each night when I lie down, and yesterday one thumb started twitching. Could this be the K2? Should I cut down or change brands? Susan1 year ago thank you Charles. I should have realised this myself, as I’ve been taking 2.5ml magnesium daily for the past 6 months to deal with pulsatile tinnitus. Along with the other things, this has now come back. I’ve found the page (116) in the book which addresses this. So, I took a double dose of magnesium this morning, and the thumb tremor stopped within minutes. I’ll take more tonight to see how that works, and monitor it over the next few days. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Also, hyaluronic acid ~ something else to check out! Charles Darwin1 year ago (Edited)
also d3 is good for RA and seems to lessen arthritis pains at lower doses but can temproarily increase pain at higher doses as the bones undergo remodeling
for people with cracking joints especially over age 40….500mg a day to 1000mg a day of hyaluronic acid should completely knock out all pains in achey joints..as itn is naturally made by your body and is found in your skin, joints and cartilage but starts decling after age 40 and is 75% lower by age 75!!Charles Darwin1 year ago It sounds like th d3 you are taking is aggravating an underlying magnesium deficiency-you should stop the d3 /k2 and high dose some magnesium for a few days then start taking a daily magnesium supplement forever /then add back the d3 and k2…..just a guess symptoms include both:Classic “Clinical” Symptoms. These physical signs of magnesium deficiency are clearly related to both its physiological role and its significant impact on the healthy balance of minerals such as calcium and potassium. Tics, muscle spasms and cramps, seizures, anxiety, and irregular heart rhythms are among the classic signs and symptoms of low magnesium. (A complete list of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency follows.)
“Sub-clinical” or “Latent” Symptoms. These symptoms are present but concealed by an inability to distinguish their signs from other disease states. Caused by low magnesium intake prevalent in nearly all industrialized nations, they can include migraine headaches, insomnia, depression, and chronic fatigue, among others. Painful muscle spasms?
Muscle cramping?
Fibromyalgia?
Facial tics?
Eye twitches, or involuntary eye movements?
