Complicated health issues: I need your help. It’s not fun and a bit long…
So, my mother had a breast cancer 5 years ago. She hide it from her kids, went for chemo, radiation and surgery. She was already 70 at the time.
Now, as for the past few weeks, terrible pain in her leg and she cannot seem to walk anymore. Current diagnosis is likely Lumbar spinal stenosis – narrowing between L4 and L5, maybe due to calcium deposit.
Most of her regular symptoms include: loss of balance , difficulties to hold her head still, difficulties to speak and move her jaws, insomnia, mental obsession and anxiety crisis. Nervous system issues make me think of severe B vitamins deficiency (first year I gave her B12 shots).
One of the main problems is elevated blood calcium for the past 2 years but tendency to fracture and now maybe some calcium deposit on disks. So we need to try regulating the calcium problem. More cal + mg + what? Vitamin D or not, thyroid or not?
Both my parents refuse the idea of a nursing home and it’s becoming heavy on my dad. We are not however at the stage of dementia and she regularly has a normal speech and thoughts. Medical system does not care - she has a mix of physical and mental symptoms and every 4 months we are back in hospital for a crisis: they wait and watch, and provide us with zero solutions.
So! Here is what I want to implement. Supplements are from Idealabs + life extension:
We also intend to wean her off her psychiatric, post cancer and sleeping meds and put her on micro dose of an herbal oil that I won’t name, but that is famous for its very relaxing properties. Trying to figure this out to get some and produce it where my parents live…We think it’s our best shot for her anxiety, insomnia and pain.
Any other ideas would be REALLY appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to see a parent deteriorating in such way. Both the narrowing of vertebra and fractures last year indicates that we must make a priority of fixing the elevate blood calcium and its deposit where we don’t want it – and leaking from other bones.
Thank you in advance. I am confident that we can drastically improve her life condition until her time to leave comes, but a bit shooting in the dark here so I appreciate all your help.

- Cancer is gone…But here is the list of what she has been through in the past few years:
- 2 herpetic meningitis. Chemo screwed up the immune system, herpes virus went to the brain.
- 2 stays in psychiatric hospital due to mental problems, linked to meningitis damage
- She has fallen on her back, pinched a nerve. Four month in excruciating pain until back surgery fixed it...4 months later
- Fall again, broke her hips an wrist a few months ago. Recovered

- B vitamins, full spectrum, plus A and K2. Both topical and oral
- a bit of zinc for a couple of weeks
- magnesium carbonated water + supplemental Mg
- daily aspirin + baking soda
- more sugar in the diet
- Coenzyme Q10
- 1mg methylene blue daily
- 3grs of niacinamide per day – recommend dose to revert dementia. Worried about the flush and heart rate however.
- daily red light + egg shell powder
- Once a month, then once a week, coarse charcoal for endotoxins. Carrot salad upset her stomach.
