B-5
Vitamin B-5, also called panothenic acid, has, rather inexplicably, been a problem for me since I became ill in 1998. I did not realize this until much later because everything was giving me problems in 1998. Things like light, air, and existence. But in 2003, when I began my PTC protocol, I noticed that I could not tolerate the B-complex I was supposed to take.
It began the first time I took one of those massive bright yellow pills. I felt the calm that megadoses of B vitamins often bring, but I also felt a little as if I were swimming. That feeling did not vanish, but rather became more pronounced. Later, there would be fun things like dizzyness and diarreha.
I went to ever'man's groceery and natural health store, and bought singles of all the B vitamins. I took b-1. Nothing. Added b-2, solid. B-3 I was already taking. b-4...I am not sure there is one. I got to B-5 however, and the symptoms returned.
I checked this on line, and the merc manual listed dizzyiness and diarreha as possible side effects.
I called the PTC and they told me that they had never heard of that. All the same, when I stopped the B-5, the symptoms left.
Well, I recently, as a trial, added B-5 back into my supplements. And it has been fine. I have not had a re-occurance of the previous symptoms. Now, why is this? I have previously postulated that a sever deficiency, once addressed, might lead to discomfort, or even an accentuation of the symptoms. This seems contrary to logic, but it has been my experience before. When I began taking zinc, I felt extremely naseous, and could only handle a little at a time.
When I began with P5P, it gave me terrible night mares, and day time restlessness. It took years before I could take it regularly. Then, I had to step up to full dose very carefully. It took months, but eventually I could take the full PTC dose, and my wellness increased at the same time. A stable relationship to healing speed and P5P was established. Still, at first, I could not tolerate it.
Maybe one or more of you are struggling with the same. I dont know. But this is my tale.
