muscles

[Guest guest]

I'm getting a lot of muscles spasms, and involuntary movements in my arms,

legs and face. It won't stop and I can't relax. I understand about the

healing reactions and retracing, but this was already happening before

(worse today and yesterday though).

It's difficult to get to sleep. I've been taking epsom salt baths and

soaking for a while, but they're not helping, Is there a treatment or

something to help calm this down?

like migraines, allergies, but didn't see muscles.

another. I'm figuring out amounts of some things like salt and fats. I still

need to increase coconut oil more. I think I am on most of it so far. I'm doing

the baths and brushing (have some questions on those). No birth control pills,

green drinks, chlorella, diuretics or other things you mentioned.

> I don't get spasms all the time, but I get them often and sometimes it's worse

like yesterday. Right now it is mild. If my muscles are not jumping, then I

sleep, when they're active I can't fall asleep. I'm not sure when it's worse.

It might be worse or I notice it more when I lie down or try to rest, but it

can also happen when I'm out.

> You just told me salt is a diuretic, maybe that's what made it worse yesterday

because I've been drinking quite a bit of the salt drink. I mistakenly made it

with a Tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon. So much to learn!

+++Hi April,

Getting on all of the supplements is important. When you are missing any of

them it makes a difference. Take your time increasing your fats and oil ratios.

Maybe you understand it, but many people think this is a race so they increase

their fats too quickly and lower their carbs too quickly, which causes problems.

Yes, having 1 tablespoon of salt instead of 1.5 teaspoons would cause muscle

issues. I suggest you not get all of your daily salt in water alone. I think I

may have to remove that recommendation about the Electrolyte Drink since too

many people are going overboard; not that you are. : )

I've had some after thoughts about salt, and I think it is better to add salt to

foods while they are cooking and/or sprinkle them on foods after they are

cooked. Since I realized heating it does not destroy its benefits in any way

I've been adding it while cooking all of the time now. The large crystals

dissolve so easily that way.

Also it takes time for your body to incorporate and utilize anything you add,

like vitamin E or any other supplement, as well as changes in diet.

There is so much to learn for sure, but you are doing great and are well on your

way already! You go girl!

All the best, Bee
