Hi Jeff, 5/24/2020I have been reading your book.
Both my wife and I recently had the Corona Virus and we used Vit D3 (with K2) during the sickness and are still using it now (along with vitamin C / NAC / zinc). I have a question: My wife, who has had high blood pressure and palpitations over the past year and is currently on medication for it (10mg amlodipine), has been experiencing high blood pressure over the past few days during this recovery process from Covid (she is currently measuring a BP of 168). The heart palpitations are also pretty long and they have been going on. I’m sure there is some anxiety as well. The vitamin D3 we have been taking is 4000IU with 2mg of vitamin K2 (MK7). Currently she is taking between 12000IU to 16000IU. We are also using topical magnesium oil and will be also starting oral magnesium chloride within a few days. Do you have any recommendations?
Hello there
yeah she is triggering her magnesium deficiency symptoms with the high dose d3,so she really needs to load up on the magnesium- maybe 500 mg 2x a day for probably a year. it takes a year to undo magnesium deficiency as your body has to absorb it as it rejuvenates the tissues, and the doctors never test for ti and 80%+ of us are deficient and that is what caused her high blood pressure and heart palps to begin with d3 uses a lot of mgansium when doing it s work. why are we alll magnesium deficient? because the soils and thus the foods are depleted .you should read my new book what docttors never learned .let me know how it goes..
advice stop the d3 fotr a week load up on magenisum 2 or 3 x a day…needs to be in your blood at all times I take an extended release magnesium from www.lef.org and gives off magnesium over a 6 hour period….it might give her doarrhea for a while….after 2 weeks adjust dose to eliminate diarrhea
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your reply and explaining what is happening. Just a bit of background: Back in 2008, I discovered that I had been suffering from bronchial asthma – except I never knew. It was then that I discovered The Water Cure – who explained that most diseases were caused by dehydration. I worked on that, with salt, and my asthma disappeared, without any medication and I have had no asthma attacks since the past 12 years. My wife, who was experiencing arthritis, also started getting better and was able to climb stairs a lot easier, as a result of following this.
Then in 2012, we discovered my wife had a brain tumour (meningioma), so she had to have an operation for removal, as it was pretty large (6cm).
She had to learn how to walk, talk, type all over again. During her recovery, post-surgery, she started experiencing massive tremors, for which she had to be hospitalised. No medicines worked at the time and she was shaking for around 10-12 hours. Then a friend of ours came to the hospital and in front of the doctors, applied magnesium oil and rubbed it over her body, over and over – until the shaking stopped completely within about 5-10 min. Her neurosurgeon also recommended we stop the anti-seizure medication that was prescribed after the surgery, because it was having adverse effects on her and we switched over completely to alternative treatments. After that, we started using magnesium oil transdermally, regularly, following books like ‘The Magnesium Miracle’ (Carolyn Dean) and ‘Transdermal Magnesium’ (Dr. Mark Sircus).
We were also using homeopathic treatments – which have been very helpful for her. We were living in India at the time, but in 2014, we ended up moving to the UK, . During this time, we somehow got away from sufficient magnesium and around the end of 2018, my wife was diagnosed with high blood pressure and was put on amlodipine to bring her pressure down. Over time, it was fine, but then it increased more and the dosage was upped to 10mg a day. We really needed to get back to magnesium, but she finds the oil itchy. Last month (in April), we both caught the Covid virus and we self-managed, using Vit D3 + K2 (what I mentioned below), high dosage of Vit C, zinc, NAC and Vit A. We both got better (although it keeps coming back due to the cytokine storms and because it lingers for a couple of months, from what we have heard).
But then this whole issue with her blood pressure started recently. Your explanation of magnesium depletion makes sense. Just an update:
She has been advised to take her blood pressure 3 times a day and she has another call with the doctor on Tue. Yesterday, her readings were
168/100 (morning)
140/94 (afternoon)
158/89 (night)
Today morning it was 173/100 so far (while I’m writing to you). We have stopped the D3 as of this morning.
We’ve started on extra sprays of magnesium oil throughout the day and also using some of the magnesium chloride in liquid form with lemon juice and water – about 2 tsp in 1 liter of water, which she should be taking over the entire day. So that should be close to over 1gm for the day if she finishes it all the way, with the sprays. I do feel a little anxious myself, as we don’t want her to have to go into hospital, since it will just complicate things. We’re keeping on the high magnesium.
