Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi Bee, I am amazed at how fast my body responded to the Vitamin A! Thanks SO much for your insight! I had a mid day turn around and believe I am on my way rebuilding and my skin will heal quickly. All the things I told you about my skin were halted, (although there is still much itching from the extreme dryness which may take a little longer), and are feeling mucho better. 'sigh' I will continue to take at least 50,000 mgs for the month of May, then cut back to 20,000 mgs in June like you said. (Funny, when I first made the supplement changes you suggested, I was concerned about the amount of Vitamin A I would be getting and should have asked you about it then.) I doubled yesterdays coconut oil, and increased the Concentrace like you recommended. I'll have to admit, there were days when I showered in the AM and PM, so will try not to do that for a while to allow the body's natural oils to build up. I am feeling MUCH better compared to yesterday when I felt I was spiraling downward. Whew! My glands are not as sore as they were, and are on the mend. The dizzyness went away yesterday not long after I took the Vitamin A, which surprised me and has not returned. My strength is returning and I think I will be ok today for my son's BD party. :-) So.... if I understand you correctly, if I am feeling dehydrated again and have great thirst, it most likely indicates that I am not getting enough good fats so my body can use the water it needs. Is that right? As for supplements, I am starting with only 400mgs of Vitamin E and gradually increasing it to 800mgs as you recommend. Is it advisable to start slowly with Chlorella also? Thanks SO much Bee!
