Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi, Kathy,  By the way, I didn't mean to imply one should not take magnesium with calcium, I only meant to imply I do not take it WITH and WHEN I take my cal AEP/ pantethine for ES symptoms. I do make sure I get enough magnesium--I eat high magnesium foods and I still bathe in it (and for those who think epsom salts is not the correct one to use in the bath, I use it for the sulfate content too). I also can tell when I need magnesium supplementation (I watch for symptoms) and I can tell when I need more to counteract calcium (also from symptoms). I am writing this because, I thought I gave mis-information earlier this week, since I implied magnesium was not always needed when you take cal AEP and pantethine.  You are not me and perhaps you (or others) will need extra magnesium. I sometimes forget that others don't necessarily know the symptoms to look for, when taking various supplements. So, if you are taking cal AEP/ pantethine at first, you definitely will need magnesium. If you take cal/ pant like me, only twice a week or less, you will be able to take it by itself during a particularly bad emf exposure, if you are eating a high magnesium diet or bathing in magnesium otherwise. Another way to take magnesium is as oil you rub on your skin. I like that rather than a supplement.  I am probably the number 1 fan of supplements here and, tho I use them for all sorts of problems, I do not take them digestively on an ongoing basis. I think you need to give your digestion a break when you can. I take D3 during the winter only--and only 3 X / week, sometimes 2X. I take a multi-vit/min on days I am running around and I miss a full meal as well as before and during holidays, to make sure I am up to the challenge.  I have been taking zinc, glucosamine, and coconut oil regularly lately. (I need the zinc, coconut oil does great things for several of my on-going problems, and I am trying out glucosamine just for curiousity sake to see what I might see a difference in.) These are the only ones I am taking daily, now. I try to remain aware of my body and what it needs, rather than willy-nilly take supplements, tho to others, it might sound like that is exactly what I do, especially when I don't explain myself! lol  As to your questions about cal AEP killing yeasts:  Only calcium AEP is supposed to kill yeast, to my knowledge. However, I got it backwards when I explained the trojan horse concept. Candida like to be surrounded by calcium but they can't live with calcium inside their colonies. The candida can be fooled into uptaking AEP into its colony and then the calcium part of the supplement kills the colony. This is not mentioned in recent cal AEP literature and I think it used to be. I know who told me this originally-- Byron s. He was my nutritionist for awhile. He makes similar mention of lactoferrin doing the same thing in his pod cast on candida, here:  http://www.nutritionreview.org/library/calcium_aep.php Track #4  Here is more info about just calcium AEP, and what it does (I didn't find mention of it killing candida here, either):  http://www.nutritionreview.org/library/calcium_aep.php  http://www.hfme.org/researchaepandme.htm (info on why cal AEP is good for CFS/ME)  http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/calcium_aep.php (the brand I take and what Byron s' site now says about it.)  I had read the bit about it killing candida elsewhere, besides hearing it from Byron, but I searched a good number of sites and didn't find it. Maybe further research found AEP was not that effective in killing candida?!? I don't know why Byron would not have mentioned it in his podcast if he still thought it was good for killing candida!  Sorry this is so long. With me, you get long or you get confused! lol Hope all is well with you, Diane From: torch369 <torch369@...> Subject: Re: EMF Exposures, Blood Pressure and Heart Beat.

I already take CoQ10 Steve > > Hi, , Marjij, and others with bp changes, >  > I hope it works for you too, , and you are able to sell your house very soon! I have all types of autonomic nervous system symptoms when I am exposed too long to particular emfs. I have bp plummeting, but I suspect that is what happens when you have too many exposures causing high bp and your andrenals finally fizzle out [or vice versa--too low and then too high bp. When I was younger I had high bp at times and we didn't know why back then, which is why I think the former might sometimes be the case.] >  > I have been pretty successful at treating my too low bp with calcium AEP and pantethine. [i have no idea what this combo would do for too high bp; but it might help the adrenals from going completely bonkers, if taken on a daily basis but not necessarily when bp is high.] Also I have taken manganese and taurine which help me to withstand more emfs without reacting, for longer periods. [i don't necessarily recommend this supplementation unless you can do more research on it yourself and determine that manganese and taurine will not be detrimental to your health. Manganese itself can be a toxic metal. Taurine supplementation, however, is highly recommended by Dr. Tennent, of " Healing is Voltage " , fame.] I came to using all 4 of these on my own, so I cannot point you to a doctor for this. My nutritionist had previously recommended cal AEP and pantethine for adrenal insufficiency and lymphatic overload. I found the manganese and taurine > searching for ways to close leaking calcium channels. [i have long suspected damaged tight junctions and ion channel pathways are at least partly to blame for my reactions to emfs.  I appear to have blood brain barrier tight junction damage. Also I appear to have calcium ion-channel problems.  When the tight junctions do not properly close, the calcium can leak from that cell and it takes manganese to close the tight junction again.] I usually take the cal and pantethine now only when my bp tanks, but previously, for adrenal and lymphatic overload, I worked my way up to very high amounts for over a year + timeframe under the care of a nutritionist. Not everybody who tries this (cal AEP and pantethine) finds it helpful, which leads me to think one needs precursor supplementation, as well (which I also did), which are very person specific. Calcium, pantethine, and co Q 10 (which I also took/ take--tho spuratically now) are the 3 > most essential nutrients for the adrenals and lymphatic system. In those of us with autonomic nervous system symptoms, it does, however, appear that lymphatic overload and adrenal exhaustion is involved. So this is a good place to start working on to heal. Supplementation can be effective. Homeopathy can also be effective in in helping to heal these organs if you can find a very good homeopathist in your area. It is also likely you need to work on your liver, as it is often dysfunctional when your lymphatic system is overworked. Just suggestions to look into. >  > Hope you all find therapies which work for you, > Diane > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
