Calcium and electrolytes

A resolution?



The main electrolytes in the blood are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. And then there's the water variable.



It's pretty common for people to report high calcium symptoms when starting vitamin K. What if the increased production of osteocalcin (from the A/D/K combo) increased the calcium concentration of my blood, which made me suddenly really thirsty and dehydrated? Would my skin showed it first?



I was crazy thirsty all day yesterday and today.… Continue

balancing vitamin A

Things are changing



Remember, I started with decent vitamin D levels, and now I've increased my vitamin K, in the form of HVBO, and it's helping with fatigue. It appears my days of exhaustion are very highly correlated with vitamin A intake. Including today. I'm thinking the A is using up the K in ways that don't give me more energy. Like mineralizing bone and tooth enamel.

With my fatigue experiments (see my… Continue

And I was on Accutane 10 years ago. Biotinidase is the enzyme that recycles biotin, and deficiency is treated with high doses of biotin.

Joint nutrition

The first posts are always the hardest, right? So I'll just jump on in with no introduction or lead in :)



I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant. I've been having fun trying to minimize my discomforts with nutrition, figuring that can only be good for the baby. The latest project has been connective tissue. The symptoms I'm looking at are my creaky knees (which started a few months after dd, age 3yo was born), ouchy pubic symphysis, popping back, and major abdominal separation (diastasis recti).… Continue
