Hiya
I am wondering how many of you were like me when diagnosed with psychiatric disorders never had any bloods done?
I lately had some bloods done and even though they were not out of range some were lowish. I believe the ranges are not always right (they vary too much from country to country to be accurate), I also believe because the minerals and vits the body needs at tissue level may not appear to be low if they are not being utilised properly due to another deficiency.
eg..http://www.ctds.info/5_13_magnesium.html#anxiety
shows the extent of problems which can result from a deficiency in just one mineral
I tested within range for B12 and also for magnesium, however since taking the magnesium for over 3 months I have noticed a few improvements, no muscle cramps, less back pain, less asthma attacks. Also with the B12 (deficiency can make you feel guilty, how wierd is that? what else can it do to your mind?) and B complex (I take them sublingually as I believe i may have candida causing malabsorbtion for reasons I will not go into here) anyway since the B12 drops, and the B complex with 400iu folate I have been able to breat he properly. I had been virtually bedridden for over 2 years with shortness of breath together with other problems which were thyroid related. But please please explore nutrients for answers. If you are told you are normal please get the results and the ranges and at least try it. Learn all you can though about them because there are things we need to know such as if we take vit D without calcium it can leech it from bones. B and
C vits are generally ok to take though and well worth a try.
Please do not think that nutritional healing is just about eating a sensible diet, there are reasons people are deficient and it isn't always the wrong diet. If you can take vitamins sublingually all the better. I would recommend good quality vits too, not cheapo multivits which are probably not going to do anything positive.
Give your body chance to correct itself. I believe it is all there for us if we choose to search it. As Hippocrates (I think) said, Let your food be your medicine, let your medicine be your food' or something similar. I believe he knew at that stage in his life that everything is in the food but we don't always get enough of what we need or we have problems in our body which doesn't allow us to utilise it.
With the agressive drugs from pharmaceuticals we take, we NEED to be at a level of optimum nutrition.
God bless
