Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi Tina - I'm sure Bee will be able to shed more light on this in the morning, but two things come to my mind. One is that you want to ensure that you are taking your supplements with a meal. The other thing is that your symptoms sound like you are healing, detoxing. Have you read thru this article? <http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/help1.php> You can also search the archives here on " itching ears " ; many have had that symptom. Bee also just shared this two wks ago: " Also ensure you are taking 1.5 teaspoons per day of good ocean sea salt like Celtic. The large gray crystals are best since they indicate more minerals. But not any more since it can be diuretic, causing your body to lose water along with important minerals like calcium, magnesium, etc. " You do not need potassium supplements since there's plenty in the foods on this program. " Muscle cramps in your calves or feet feel like a Charlie Horse, i.e. they are very tight because the muscle is binding up (contracting). That kind of cramping is mainly caused by an imbalance in calcium and magnesium and possibly a lack of other minerals. So ensure you are taking the correct amount and kind of calcium and magnesium citrate and that you are not taking a lot of anything that is diuretic as explained below. " If you are getting tightness in your muscles, that isn't the same as a Charlie Horse. Toxins can also cause muscle tightness, aches, pains, stiffness, etc. so ensure you are following the program correctly. " To your improving health! moderator [snip] > What could this indicate since I barely even took the day's dose, and only took about 9pm: > calcium citrate 210mg, magn citrate 315mg, vitc ascorbic acid crystals 500mg. > Then later about 10:30pm: calc citrate 210mg, magn citrate 315mg. > I got very itchy throat and ears after this dose. > > I took those amounts b/c I just used a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon. > Thanks for your help on this one Bee. I'd love to be able to keep taking it since I'd like to try to reproduce that calm. Though I'm concerned why I itch in ears/throat so much after taking it, and the charlie horses and more heart fluttering. > > Tina > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 > > Hi Bee, > I decided after a few days off to restart some of the supplements. > I opted to not start with coconut oil this time. > At 9pm I took the calc citrate, magnesium citrate and vit C dose in water with my meal last night. It was okay and in fact seemed to now calm my burning acid gut/aches, which I needed b/c I'd been having horrific burning gut /reflux and some nausea for 2 days. > > I took about a 1/2 dose, and the only thing I noticed was that my ears got blocked and my stomach calmed a bit. I felt a little weird in my head briefly like super alert, almost dizzy, then I think I realised I was calming some all over. > > Then a bit later, at 10:30pm I thought I'd try a bit more, of just the calc and magnesium in water to try to calm body even more since I did have a bit of relaxed non irritated body feeling. > > Again took 1/2 dose, perhaps even a bit less. > > Today I woke with some light/rapid palpitations, I was having some anyway lately but seemed more on waking. > But I got a severe leg charlie horse, in right calf and foot, so bad I had to get up and 'try' to straighten my foot out by pressing it to the floor. I still have tics in my lower legs now at 9am. > > The other thing is that I had to go to the bathroom asap, no cramps, but completely liquid stools. No sick or cramp feelings, just liquid. > > What could this indicate since I barely even took the day's dose, and only took about 9pm: > calcium citrate 210mg, magn citrate 315mg, vitc ascorbic acid crystals 500mg. > Then later about 10:30pm: calc citrate 210mg, magn citrate 315mg. > I got very itchy throat and ears after this dose. > > I took those amounts b/c I just used a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon. > Thanks for your help on this one Bee.

It's difficult for me to determine the totals you took. Also it takes time for your body to absorb and utilize anything you take by mouth, and minerals must have the combination of fats I recommend along with them, as well as other nutrients, i.e. protein, etc. That is because all of the nutrient work together, including 1.5 teaspoons of ocean sea salt per day. You need to measure more carefully, maybe using 1/4 or 1/8 teaspoon. When you say 1/2 dose I assume you are taking 150 mg since 1 full dose is 300 mg taken two times per day with meals. Like wrote all supplements must be taken with foods, so if you take a dose at 9 pm you should eat an egg with it. Otherwise, all of your symptoms are healing and detoxifying reactions so starting on more supplements is helping to some degree. Your heart fluttering is normal too because your body is speeding up it processes, and it can also be caused by stress on you or your body. Your body detoxifies more at night so those symptoms can happen when you wake up. When you get heart symptoms like that do deep breathing exercises to switch off your fight/flight nervous system: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
