Well Tuesday April 11, 2017 has come and passed and yesterday the initial appointment between myself and Michael did occur. Unfortunately I forgot about day light savings time, so the time difference between here and Ireland is now only 2 hours. So while I was expecting for the video conference to begin around 3 pm local time, I received a message from Michael after 2 inquiring if I was ready to begin. Fortunately my schedule was open at the time, so the call proceed immediately. In al we talked for an hour, okay, more like I pretty much listened for an hour as Michael is very passionate about helping others and providing as much information as possible. Once again, Michael is a ND and not an MD. I am stating this once again because I do not believe that my weight is as worrisome for myself as it seems to be for him. Yes, while I have gained some weight as of late, I am confident that will be naturally rectified as begin regaining mobility due to the protocol.
part of my motivation for this blog was to hopefully provide answers to questions that other might have as contemplating starting the protocol. On the FaceBook pages concerning the protocol I have individuals starting that they are taking 400,000 units of vitamin D, each day. So of course one of my questions concerned what is a realistic starting amount, and what are the increments and frequency. Please do not try to use this as a guide for doing the protocol without proper qualified assistance. It seems that Michael likes to start his patients at a dosage of 1,000 of vitamin D per kilo. He also stated that within in 8 weeks initial improvements occur. Base upon past experiences, it seems that the patients report the no longer feeling tingly pin and needles sensation as the first noticeable difference. I admit, I will not mind if that is the first change for me. As I was listening to Michael and his hopeful timeline, I found myself looking up at the calendar to calculate when I might be seeing these differences. I do understand that it person is different, and these are just possibilities, but I do believe that one cannot quantify or dismiss the power of the mind. It has been nearly a dozen years from my initial diagnoses, and now for the first time I find myself having hope, real hope.
So Michael has sent me a package of the different vitamins that I need to take. While I am certain that I could have purchased the different items, even the same brands, getting it all from Michael was simply more covenant. It also has the extra benefit of Michael knowing exactly what and how much I am taking, able to make any necessary adjustments. So for now, waiting, and hoping there are no issues with customs. Once my care package arrives, I will officially begin the protocol...I cannot wait.
