Hi long lost friends!
My friends have put together a fundraising website for me that gives an update of what has been going on: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/ckx1/elizabethspromise?utm_source=face...
Unfortunately I can't type much because my hands are messed up from trigger points from being in bed for so long, but I wanted to say hello and give a brief update.
I hope to upload a video soon to the site as well. I can't wait to share my story with you all. It will give hope the firmest of unbelievers! It is an absolute miracle that I made it out of bed. I was totally paralyzed, unable to talk, walk to the bathroom, itch my nose, feed myself, read... The list goes on and on. It took three people to bathe me because I couldn't hold myself up at all. It turns out that I had major issues with my musculoskeletal system, caused by potassium wasting (low potassium causes muscle spasms) which was triggered by an adrenal glandular that I started taking. (That is the long story-short).
I have been severely EMF sensitive for the past two years, which is the main reason that I stopped coming onto this forum. My adrenals are finally supported sufficiently and I believe that to be the reason that I am now able to be online (as of yesterday! Hooray!). But it was a chiropractor that got me out of bed. It turns out that my head was half off my atlas, several cervical disks were out, several ribs were out and I had a hiatal hernia (all caused by the potassium wasting). Crazy, huh?
Okay, I probably won't be able to respond much because of my hands but if you PM me with your number I should be able to call, especially if you have questions. If you are bedridden, I have a special place in my heart for you and you will get priority.
Much love and healing,
Beth

THIS IS AWESOME!!! Welcome back!
Short question if you're able to answer. Why were you saying it was caused by glandulars? I intend to use some in the near future but have mixed feedback.
Could you tell what brand or composition was and your opinion why was that bad? Are they all suppose to lower potassium.
Many thanks- Good question!!! Important (about g... healthyartist

This is a reply to # 2,078,693The sicker I got, the more sensitive I became to glandulars. I think it has to do with weakness in my hypothalamus and/or pituitary. I wouldn't be afraid of adrenal glandulars, if I were you, but I would be aware that supporting one gland may show you that you have weakness in another gland. For me, I think that the potassium wasting (that started with a very low dose of adrenal cortical extract (ACE))was caused by low vasopressin from the pituitary. I've started taking pituitary/ hypothalamus from Biotics and it seems to be helping w the potassium loss ( but I'm not totally sure yet).
Potassium loss is a common side effect of HC, less common of glandulars, but it is important to be aware that it could cause this symptom. If you start adrenal support and you start having muscle spasms, order a urine analysis for minerals and see if you are wasting potassium. If so, don't be afraid of it. I take Solaray Pottassium Asporotate 200 mg every two hours.
By the way, prior to the ACE, I was wasting sodium in large quantities, and would never have guessed that I would end up wasting potassium.

This is a reply to # 2,078,713Thanks for posting that Beth. I am currently taking glandulars and just by coincidence happened to be consuming tons of Watermelon that is high in potassium. I ended up in the ER two weeks ago because I drank too much water along with a hormone inbalanced not caused by anything I was taking. Anyway they tested my electrolytes and mine were borderline low in sodium and potassium. Also the hormones imbalance (low progesterone) has dyhydrated me somewhat and I somehow hurt my back and am pretty sure I herniated a disc. Anyway just FYI for anyone reading this post and looking at glandulars. Thanks again Beth for sharing your experience.

This is a reply to # 2,078,713I think this is just the severe side of adrenal fatigue or as we in severe stage . . . adrenal collapse.
I know, as I've declined so much the past 2.5 years.
And you are right Beth. So is Dr. Lam's writings from his book, I can testify to this.
When the body is do compromised and weak, it can not even handle much of any supplements, yet alone ACE. Because it takes a lot of energy to utilize these supplements and if they are not utilized, do to slow metabolism, liver and cell clearance, it just makes it even harder on the body.
Like trying to whip a dead horse.
Beth, I had my hair anyl. done recently and my Calcium was very high and potassium and magnesium and sodium all very low.
My practicioner for Nutritional Balancing has me on more potassium, magnisium, no calcium or D, but also more Vit. A.
SO far, I'm doing a bit better. I've also cut way back on many supplements, only taking the above, plus Roya Jelly and Vit. C in moderate amounts ( not mega)
I"m glad I started into NB and hope to see progress.
Beth, it is SOOOOOOOOO good to see you on the forum.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
PS> I sent a persona emial to you via ALex to your folks.

Beth,
So glad you are feeling better. We were all worried about you.
I tried to reach you on Facebook a few times about your EMF sensitivity. “Earthing” is a huge help for EMF protection.

At the very least, order a cheap band set.
