Re: loading dose - vitamin D?

[Guest guest]

My son that was extremely low in vitamin D has such a lyme die-off response to

supplementing vitamin D that I would not recommend starting with a loading dose.

I would say try 1,000 iu, then 2,000 iu, then 4,000iu and see how that is

tolerated before you consider trying a loading dose.

You were right. The smallest I had was 5000 IU and I gave it to him. He had a

terrible day, worst in a long time. I wonder why he can't tolerate it when he

is deficient?

What do you mean by lyme die-off? How would I know if my child has lyme?

When I added vitamin D, it caused a major yeast problem, because it was

addressing viruses. Try increasing the yeast protocol, see if that helps.

I would go back and start with a much lower dose. Remember, vitamin D boosts

the immune system and can cause a die-off reaction.

The best test for lyme is the Igenex western blot. Our kids can have so many

different infections, lyme is just one of many (Herpes, lyme, bartonella,

babesia, west nile, measles -- all are known causes of congenital encephalitis.)

The lyme induced autism kids are typcially born with it and the mother may have

symptoms too. You can read about lyme at www.lymeinducedautism.com

There is no reason to give a loading dose of vitamins. Andy has his own Vitamin

A protocol where loading is not necessary. And I have found loading necessary.

The body uses what it needs and discards the rest. Vitamin D is generally doses

at 1-2000 IU per day unless deficiency is verified by serum labs. Then 5,000 IU

a day is given until serum labs are normal between 65-80.

So if you're child tested low just put him on 5,000 IU once a day until his

blood levels come back normal.

Or maybe you just gave him too much Vitamin D. Assuming you are using D3 not D2

also so the form of D isn't a problem here.

The Lyme theory is still out with the jury. Especially since the testing is

iffy. Sometimes it works and something it doesn't. The problem with trying to

treat Lyme is you can't get rid of it until you get rid of the mercury. And

that's even IF the kid has it.

The most common reason for not tolerating vitamin D3 when deficient is a

magnesium deficiency. When this is the case, the symptoms are that of too much

calcium, and would also be seen with an equivalent level of sun exposure. It can

take a few days or more of taking a well-absorbed magnesium to bowel tolerance

to see a difference in reaction to vitamin D when it is tried again. Large

amounts of magnesium reduces the absorption of iron and other minerals. Vitamin

D3 also needs some K2 as a co-factor.

This is D3. He used to love going outside and several years ago became very

fearful of it. He is literally afraid to go out. Maybe the sun exposure

bothers him the same way the supplement did.

I had removed his Cal/Mag a few weeks back when I removed all supps. I will add

that one back before trying the D3 again.

Don't think I have any K2 but I can buy some. He does not eat any green leafy

vegetables, and there is no K in his multi.

Thank you.
