Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 thanks for this but I'm not sure this is true for me. My blood sugar problems got way worse when I took calcium supplements, which is why I am taking high doses of magnesium to try and antagonise the calcium which is floating around in my body. I am also taking Vits D and K to try and absorb it. Despite the high dose magnesium (around 1400mg a day), this has no effect whatever on my bowels. I wonder if the calcium has anything to do with it. I have frequent urination when I am taking DMSA, but increased urination pretty much all the time. The last time I did a 24 hour urine sample I produced 2.9 litres, which is abnormal, according to Andy. Sigh. Guess I'm no closer to sorting out my blood sugar problems, apart from getting the mercury out. thanks again Nicola > > > > / anyone > > > > I wonder if you could explain WHY a high ratio of Ca/Mg means blood > > sugar regulation.
