Hello Everyone, There is something I would like to share with all of you in hopes that what happened to me will not happen to anyone else. A few weeks ago I began experiencing abdominal pain. I was hoping it was just a fluke thing and would go away on it's own. Then I began to experience terrible fatigue and muscle weakness and spasms. I went to my PCP who ran some labs (CMP, Amylase, Lipase, CBC), and did an abdominal ultrasound. Everything came back normal except my calcium level was elevated, so then he checked my Vitamin D and it was extremely high, at toxic levels. High Vitamin D leads to high calcium, both of which are very dangerous, causing cardiovascular and kidney damage. Needless to say I am now off anything that contains Vitamin D until my levels go back to normal. I called Mel and he asked me to share this and remind everyone that it is very important to have blood work done every six months while you are taking a supplement such as Vit. D at a high dosage. When I was sick my body needed the 5,000 IU's of Vit. D twice a day, but now that I am well, it no longer needs it and it is too much for me. I'm on the mend and feeling better already. Thinking of all of you always. All my best, Kelly | |||

Kelly, I mis- read your post and somehow undertood you to be taking vit D...too much perhaps. It seems this is not the case. Most folk have too little vit d especially here in uk in long dark winters and rainy summers. Since you are taking the Logos protocol then everything is set out and incorporated into the protocol. Why you have too high vit d levels is a mystery unless you are taking lots of cod liver oil as you cannot get too much from the sun.The body sees to that. Excess vit D causes too much calcium to accumulate in the blood....you need it in the bones and teeth etc ...and vit K prevents this build up in the blood it seems. Hypercalcaemia causes fatigue, upset bowels etc etc. My daughter, a Cambridge PHd, who is a cancer survivor ,has alaways been interested in food chemical combinations and it was she who advised me against taking vit D without K because it can cause osteoporosis. I started taking vitamin D 3 after watching a video on this site about its benefits. Mary,s post I think it was. Now, though I have stopped taking it with the lovely sun we have had, I shall resume in the autumn. I have no blood tests except when last in hospital so wouldn.t know what is going on. If Something works for me then I continue to take it. If it does not work I try something else. I am no scientist but five of my children are. Anyway John will explain everything and advise you on what you should do.,, So no worries. Take care and God Bless. | |||
