Appreciate the in depth reply. Had no idea you were that sick. I’ve been in mineral balancing world 5 years now. I just did my 21st or 22nd htma lol. I was always in a calcium shell. The four lows thing always scared the ***t out of me.
But now it’s happening to me. Making me go crazy. Not being able to retain electrolytes is worst thing I’ve experienced in this world. It has happened in non 4 low body chemistries though.
I’m glad you say it. I think magnesium glycine (histidine too) might be first things to address next to potassium. I think these aminos control iron sooo much.
In fall I took similar approach methylation, ghk patch. I was cu toxic though from dumping in the summer. Dumping copper killed methylation. I stopped b2 for a week in midst of that and I literally thought I was dying till I got the b2 back in.
I needed b12 at that time though. I needed the patch. Those didn’t get involved for another couple weeks after. It was incredible what ghk and ahk patches could do at times.
I was thinking copper back then. But honestly I think I was grabbing iron from brain with these aminos.
Thanks for your story. Every 4 lows story counts cuz people get stuck for a long time in that dreaded body chemistry. And it’s usually not as simple as Wilson’s approach.
I’ve heard of people come out with just potassium and salt. Another guy loaded calcium for months w/ some mag k2 D3.
I’m finding some hope the approach here is aminos mag/k.
Yeah I’ve only really been doing this mineral and methylation stuff for 2 years but I had chronic health issues since 2016.
I started Yasko’s protocol in 2021 and I fixed most of my issues with some of the suggestions from the protocol in combination with my own experimentation with suppplements that was based on instincts. Specifically it was the neurotransmitter, autism, gut issues, dysautonomia and POIS that I all fixed but then at the same time it caused a lot of new issues.
The thing is I think the protocol uncovered the toxicities I had hiding in my liver and tissues, as I have inherited generational toxicity - my mum and uncle both have aspergers and then my mum’s mum had ALS which she died from. And when these metals started coming out it wrecked havoc on my body eg : gallbladder stopped working and bad whole body inflammatory states.
So after 6 months I just went off and did my own thing listening to my body but still following parts of her protocol. This was a mistake because I ended up having the major health crisis at the beginning of 2022 where I nearly died, my Ca/Mg ratio was also way too high which I think played a part. Copper toxicity had built up, and when I caught a virus from my brother on top of the pathogens I already had, ***t hit the fan.
Also interesting you mentioned histidine because when things were going really wrong for me in 2021, my histidine levels showed as very low on a urine amino acids test but I had stopped communicating with yasko at that point, so I didn’t get any feedback on that. I haven’t ever tried supplementing it maybe it would have helped.
One important thing Yasko does say, is it’s usually pathogens that are screwing up potassium transport and levels so I would consider the bacteria you mentioned as a possible cause of not being able to retain electrolytes. She finds when people have addressed the imbalances shown on their gut microbiome tests then they are able to tolerate potassium supplememts much better. She also says she finds thyroid issues are usually because of chronic bacterial infections I wonder what people in here think about that?
In 2022 after I had this health crisis, I worked on getting my minerals back up through diet, and it was only that year I realised the importance of minerals. I ate high soluble fiber everyday for my gallbladder issues, but in august I got set back again and developed bad VA toxicity, and I’ve had to be follow a low Vit A diet since then. But on the low VA diet I really struggled with tolerating iron and my iron metabolism was completely screwed, I tried eating high VA foods again but now they would cause me confusion, like dementia type symptoms, and I’m only 26.
I was using life extension apo lactoferrin but this seemed to be negatively affecting my iron metabolism and wasn’t helpful (didn’t seem to do anything).
I would recommend you try this Mega IGG 2000 supplement, I find it way more helpful than lactoferrin, especially for dealing with pathogens and rebuilding the gut mucosal barrier, it contains transferrin too. 1.5 years ago I didn’t tolerate it at all and caused extreme reactions, but now I tolerate it very well and I find it helpful probably because I’m less toxic now.
So I started doing daily coffee enemas since September last year as I was falling apart neurologically had like confusion, neuropathy and autistic symptoms, in November/December when I added in MCP, glycine , mag malate, Mega IGG 2000 (contains transferrin) that’s when I started making real progress with the coffee enemas and a week and a half ago I had one enema which felt like a mini liver flush, I emptied out like 2-3 x more stuff than usual, I think my liver unleashed a lot of crap it had stored. I didn’t feel like eating anything for 2 days afterwards and especially the thought of eating meat disgusted me so maybe I dumped iron, but my face looked so much better.
I think the biggest mistake I made last year, was not consulting anyone to help me with my problems and just trying to do everything on my own. Now that I have got rid of a lot of toxicity in 2022 I may get back in contact with Yasko and see what advice she has for my current situation as I will be able to tolerate her protocol a lot better now.
Do you know anything about lithium and what it does with heavy metals? She says lithium is crucial for transporting b12 and b9 into the cells and without sufficient lithium they won’t get into the cells, it’s also needed for potassium transport. But everytime I tried lithium in 2021 I would have severe attacks on my right side (I now know this was my liver and gallbladder) where I couldn’t tolerate meat for weeks without severe pain and red feet. I am wondering if the low dose lithium was mobilising mercury or something or maybe iron. As mercury toxicity will cause low lithium levels. A year later, after getting rid of a lot of toxicity, I have tried the lithium again recently and the reactions aren’t nearly as bad as before but it still feels bad.
You know alot more than I do with this mineral stuff and have some good knowledge where did you learn it from? Do you consult anyone?
I need to do some more tests, when I tested ferritin last year both times it was high, in October I had low uric acid, albumin was also high in both tests I did last year. But since December I have been doing a lot better so I’m hoping my tests will improve now.
I think the key for us is to fix iron metabolism.
