@Miguel Damas thank you so much for your advice, it’s certainly allayed my concerns - I’m sorry I wasn’t able to attend the webinar live. I’m actually just heading to bed, now, but I’ll come back here, tomorrow, and give some more details/info., regarding my diet/lifestyle. Just briefly, though, I’m 53 & own a small hotel (glorified guest house really - only offer B&B), with my hubby, who has always been incredibly supportive, even when he hasn’t really understood why I was doing certain things! We haven’t had any children, but do have a dog. Out hotel is on the Isle of Skye, so it’s very seasonal - we currently only open for 5 mths (May-September) & we’re closed every Monday night, to enable me to have 1 early night & 1 lazy morning, every week! I’m very lucky that we can do this, as it helps reduce stress & keeps the work:life balance good! Anyway, speaking of bed, I have to go - I’ll chat with you guys tomorrow! 🥰🏴🥰
Ahead of this week's webinar, I'd love to make absolutely personalized to you and address topics you are really looking into. Could you please share up to 3 questions / topics you'd love for me to talk about this Wednesday?
I hope you can give me some assurance that I’m not doing anything detrimental to my health? I’m feeling great, but l just want to make sure I’m not doing any long term damage, with the supplements. Q. Can I continue taking 20k iu D3 daily, without worrying about my calcium intake? ****** I do make a green smoothie every day (FRESH/RAW: 170g spinach, 230g white cabbage, 70g cauliflower, ¼ lemon, 30g ginger root, 30g unpasteurised Sauerkraut, 100g whole flaxseeds, FROZEN: 100g banana, 50g pineapple & 50g mango). I drink 3.5ltrs filtered water daily (incl. water in smoothie) & take 600mcg K2 MK-7 & 300mg of a magnesium complex (Malate, Bisglycinate, Citrate, Taurate, and Orotate) & 900mg complex (Bisglycinate, Malate & Citrate). I also supplement with CoQ10, B12, L-Glutamine, black garlic, moringa, boswellia & borage oil. ****** Q. Do I need to add a B2 supplement? ****** I normally cook a spiced red lentil, mixed bean or tofu, stir fry (water based, no oil), with veg (Shitake, chestnut & white mushrooms, sweet peppers, onion, garlic & red/green cabbage), every day, served with either brown rice, quinoa or baked sweet potato. I also have a plain soya yogurt with Bio & Me Nutty/Seedy granola every morning, with 200g fresh berries (varies, but always incl. blueberries) & FEEL (vegan) type 1 & 2 collagen powders & Better Menopause powder, mixed into the yogurt. ****** Q. Is there anything else I need to be doing? Anything I’ve forgotten? Or something I should stop doing? ****** I was officially diagnosed with MS in August 2018 (I had started with 4k iu vit D3 in April 2018, when I self-diagnosed, having seen my MRI scans). My foot-drop started in 2014, but I’d probably been suffering from fatigue for a good few years prior to this. I found the Coimbra Protocol & the Wahls Protocol in August 2018, and eliminated processed food from my diet & followed the Wahls protocol, but also increased the vit D to 10k iu daily. The vertigo disappeared & the fatigue certainly reduced significantly, but my foot drop persisted and I still couldn’t walk very far without having to rest. But, in Jan 2022, I discovered Dr Goldner’s Goodbye Lupus Protocol and YOU! I immediately dropped animal products & increased my vit D to 20k iu daily, as you said in an article that it was safe at that level.
Welcome @Rina Dharsi @Gillian Glenwright and @Daniel Shelyavski ! It is great to have you here! If you feel like it, introduce yourselves and just be open about what you are looking for in this community and how we can support you!
Thank you Dr Damas, for creating this space… It’s great to be able to share positive experiences/outcomes with each other - it can be an emotional rollercoaster, but mental health is so important.
