LESSON LEARNED!!! :/

Today was day 2 on the Marshall Protocol. I took my 80mg telimasartan first thing this morning along with all my other supplements and within 90 minutes I was in so much pain and felt so extremely sick with fever, chills, and fatigue that I went right back to bed.

Once in bed I opened my laptop to read more about this Protocol. I was extremely concerned as to what I did wrong as I never expected this type of response this quickly.

 First I realized I should have taken a smaller dose to begin with because this drug is normally used for high blood pressure.  I have low blood pressure and I am not using the drug for that reason but for the Vitamin D receptors that attach to each cell and expose the bacteria or infection for your immune system to kill. As your immune system kills off the bacteria, something is release by your cells which create an  inflammatory response which then caused all my sarcs to flare up. Not only did I feel like I had the Flu but also like I was in a huge flare and in a lot of pain. Not to mention the extreme fatigue that set in. It was a very rough day but I learned really quick on what not to do today!!! hahah

I also learned that you should not take any other supplements or food that contains Vitamin D as that adds to your flare. (Which I already did this morning) I also quickly found out just how light sensitive you become on this protocol. I had read about it the day before but didn't even realize just how bad it could get. The Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base said it was mandatory to get special NOIR glasses for both inside and outside and that I would not even be able to handle fluorescent lighting. It also said I would need to cover up everything if I go outside as to not add to the vitamin D level in my body.

So today was defintley a learning lesson. I pulled out my regular glasses, darkened my room, and my sweet hubby ordered the NOIR glasses right away. In fact if you mention to the company that you are on the Marshall Protocol they will even give you a 50% discount.  Its a good thing because the glasses are expensive!!!

Thank goodness this pill only peaked for about 6-8 hours and then it started to calm down. But I can bet you tomorrow I will be cutting this dose in half. I also wondered why it did not effect me yesterday on my first day…. Once again as I combed the website I found out that the drug was more potent on the 2nd day than the first! haha! Wished I would have read the info before I experienced it! haha

So today was defintely a LESSON LEARNED!
