Is mineral water good or bad?
Unlike a lot of you who are petite, I'm medium frame and slightly overweight. When I was diagnosed with op, I started going overboard on things like almonds and cheese. I now realize I've gained 10 pounds that might cause other health issues if I don't stop it I take a few supplements, (D3 and K2 MK7

Any hints for diet and/or lifestyle living with PMR?
I’ve been living with the condition for approx 18 months now, and from what I read here my experience is pretty standard; in fact, I’m probably getting off lightly compared to some. I almost managed to taper to no pred, but had a (possible) mild flare a couple of months ago which has responded well to

What vitamin D dose do you take?
Could I ask what vitamin D dose you take please? I could barely walk 4 years ago, and my levels were around 22, and was prescribed the loading dose, and told to take 800iu for a few weeks thereafter. After discovering this forum, I was told to take several thousand iu, I can’t remember the exact dose

Another disappointing endocrinologist - Cornwall
I know I am unable to discuss individual Doctors here, but thought it might help others to mention what happened at my NHS endo meeting. I saw a female endo via the NHS yesterday, who is based in Truro, Cornwall and off Thyroid UKs list of Endos who (amongst other things) may help with low DHEA (my

16+ years since dx and what we’ve learned
I’ve posted before about our trials with synthetic and natural levadopa but after reading Dr. Jonathan Sackner-Bernstein‘s essay, I wanted to shout a big “hooray”! I’ve long suspected levadopa was doing more harm than good and that the whole idea that PD being all about dopamine deficiency was in some

Does anyone has this rare kidney disease (familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis)?
I have been diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease since day 1 which called familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis.

BLOOD TEST RESULTS FROM 22/02/2022 taken at 7.45AM
Hi all, once again could you knowledgeable people please pass comment on my most recent results. Unfortunately due to dr requesting follow up test within two months the lab has rejected some of the tests, annoyingly, I wanted to know if my vitamin intake and iron tablets may have improved my ferritin

Lactulose and Bones
I have just been reading that lactulose inhibits bone loss in post menopausal women AND increases absorption of Vit D, calcium and magnesium. Has anybody else come across this?. It seems too good to be true. I was looking at the safety of using it long term as since I have had osteoporosis I have been

Magnesium question - another one!
I used to take Magnesium to try and help the symptoms of my AF. I still have permanent AF but also a Pacemaker, so I stopped taking it. I am wondering what others in this community think.

Feeling more like my 'old self'
I was diagnosed with AFIB in October 2020 at the age of 79. Since then I have been on a learning curve about an ailment of which I had little prior knowledge. Health Unlocked with its daily mail bag of the trials and sufferings of fellow AFibbers has been a valuable source of information. During

Blood test results, B12 & Uric acid/gout
Hi, I have had blood tests that show I am probably deficient in B12, I’m going to make an appointment with a GP to see about getting a methylmalonic acid test to confirm but do the rest of my results look ok?

Zeolite ; helpful & not helpful ? Good for cleansing our system , removing metals, or no?
If you have experience with using zeolite can you please share your motivation to and your experience? I have read about the intention of it being anti fungal and “cleansing” but then I’ve read that it does not chelate metals as it claims and can reduce the minerals we need like magnesium. Knowledge

Magnesium and Warfarin
Just a quick post. With magnesium being championed as the mineral of choice for us afibers, I was shocked to see that magnesium contraindicates with warfarin and can increase the risk of bleeding? Interestingly I’ve noticed my INR has fallen not risen since taking magnesium? Then again I take taurine

An interview with Dr Aileen Burford Mason - Magnesium deficiency
Indeed a very informative interview. Most of the things were new for me. After watching this, I feel that the most important supplement for Parkinson's is the magnesium. She also provides guidance on dosage. One important thing I noted was that calcium intake is must alongside magnesium. Why? Watch it

Research into Magnesium and RLS/PLMS
I know that the use of Magnesium to control/treat RLS is considered at best unproven and at worst controversial, but I - and various others - have found dosing with Magnesium Citrate very helpful. The studies looking into this have been much too small, and peer reviews have deemed studies inconclusive
