Guest guest Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi again, Kathy,  You mention GABA in relation to leaky gut, but I was referring to a leaky blood-brain barrier. I am guessing this was a typo on your part, but wanted to point it out incase you don't have a leaky bbb, but a leaky gut. Yes, agitation or anxiety, needing to move around--that would be a sign GABA was leaking into your brain more than normal. It is good you have to take a large dose to get this reaction, tho! That means you don't have too much damage. Back in the late 90s I reacted very badly to very small amounts of GABA. About half of my BBB damage has actually healed since then, even tho I still have some emf effects!  As to magnesium.... I do not take cal AEP with magnesium, I do however take epsom salts baths which provide magnesium. I take the baths, twice a week and soak 40 minutes, so there is magnesium in my body when I take the calcium AEP. As to the calcium/pantethine, I now take 2 caps-- 300mg/ each with breakfast. But at first I did take more to deal with deficiency. Once I started taking manganese and taurine, I didn't have to take as much calcium, tho. And actually (for much of the last 8 months) I only took the cal AEP and pantethine as I needed it--when I had actual calcium efflux. But that is because I am not reacting so much. You would likely at least need to take it at breakfast. I realized recently how long it has been since I took it regularly and realized it would be good to take a bit more of it for awhile. Hope you can find something which helps soon. The window screens might be the most reasonable (if you or your husband can make them yourselves), but it is hard to say. All of the shieldings are expensive. Like , I favor the fabric emf panels I mentioned I made for some windows.  What I did for our bedroom was I made cotton matelaise floor to ceiling drapes that I pull to close for privacy. [i used 2 matelaise bed coverings which cover the entire 12 foot end wall of our bedroom, even tho the window there is small]. I then, behind that, made floor to ceiling emf-fabric panels.  It is also across the entire wall, but it is not gathered except a little in front of the window--it looks like regular sheers. You would not know it was special fabric. I attached it by velcro to a glued up lath strip as I mentioned in the last email.  In my office, I made a straight panel--no sheering, to save on cost. It is also the entire wall, but also behind drapes where there is only a small window, and in that room, it is in 3 strips so the window panel itself can be raised or lowered, like a roman shade. (So far I have never raised it, tho, so I don't really know if this will work. I haven't finished that room yet.)  Oh, behind our bed--I did also put a panel of emf fabric there behind a huge quilt. It is brick wall there, but that wall is where the closest cell tower strikes.  There is so much more you can do with the emf fabric than the other fixes, i think that is why I prefer it. But be prepared to mortgage your house to pay for it.  If you need a quick, less pricey fix, buy the fabric and only cover the windows, themselves, for now. That may be all you need, anyway. If you don't mind the look of a straight, ungathered panel, you can do that for a lot less.  Hope you can get something soon, Kathy.

I think I still have one. It causes a reaction of not being able to sit still large doses, not small. I'll keep working on it. I need B12, have to get the right sublingual, react w nausea to some. I'll try cal AEP soon. Do you take it w mag?  I'm still confused on the best window shielding to try. Have limited funds for 2 weeks, oh. Had a hard night, up until 4. The cat layed next to me for awhile, then jumped off the bed. She was sleeping w me until the tower went up. She's feeling it.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Evie, Sorry I misunderstood leaking BBB vs the gut. Thanks, I'll going to have to swing making my own emf blocking sheers. Wish they weren't so costly. Kathy <evie15422@...> wrote: Re: : Supplements Hi again, Kathy, You mention GABA in relation to leaky gut, but I was referring to a leaky blood-brain barrier.

It is brick wall there, but that wall is where the closest cell tower strikes. There is so much more you can do with the emf fabric than the other fixes, i think that is why I prefer it. But be prepared to mortgage your house to pay for it. If you need a quick, less pricey fix, buy the fabric and only cover the windows, themselves, for now. That may be all you need, anyway. If you don't mind the look of a straight, ungathered panel, you can do that for a lot less. Hope you can get something soon, Kathy.
