Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Vitamin A toxicity! I have needed such massive doses of nutrients for so long due to malabsorbtion problems and have just recently started to feel instinctively like I'm there, like I need to start backing off the supplements, and wouldn't you know. I am big on cranberry juice, hardly ever have orange juice, and had some that day of the first " attack " . Had corn tonight, and cheese, before the second attack, and all those things are high in Vitamin A. And although I normally *love* mangos, I had on the other day and could hardly get the first few bites down and didn't finish it. It just felt wrong, my body didn't want it. Orange and yellow foods. Ha! So, I messed myself up good. So I just knock off the supplemental A and wait? Did I really do some damage or will it heal? My lips have been chapped for so long now, and I couldn't figure out why other people didn't seem to have that problem! Vit. A! Whew. I feel so much better having figured this out but now I'm worried about the damage I've done. Maybe since the pain just started I just hit the wall and didn't do too much harm. Any input would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Years of misery, lack of help from western docs and consequently a hell of a lot of research with input from some very good alternative healers.
