    In 2005, I had 3.5 parathyroids surgically removed. Now, that half of parathyroid has become an over achiever and PTH is now 10.5. In the past I had100+ kidney stones (6 lithotripsies). I once again have stones, fatigue, etc.

    If you think you have a parathyroid tumor don't give blood it confuses doctors, and you can't explain it to them. You have approximately 10 pints of blood and if you take one out it drops vitamins in the blood by about 10%. It will reduce the calcium in the blood along with Vitamin D. With a lower amount of vitamin D your calcium will have a slow start to climbing back up, but it will. You can't explain the process to doctors either. also, if you give blood your kidneys won't have much calcium to filter out into the urine and that confuses them as well. *Keith will tell you that without vitamin D you can absorb calcium. High calcium hinders Iron absorption. Just some food for thought.

    Dr Chris MasterJohn was the first one to mention that one should tailor D3 dosage based on their PTH levels. You keep increasing dosage until your PTH drops to low normal, then you maintain that. Of course along with D3 cofactors.

    I have normal calcium levels, however, I have low Vitamin D and my PTH has been slowing decreasing over the past two years. Started at 65, and is currently sitting at 30. I seem to have many of the symptoms of a parathyroid issue (fatigue, brain fog, constipation) but my PTH numbers aren’t high, they’re steadily declining, any info would be greatly appreciated!

    Now I understand. This doctor knows more on this topic than any of the 3 ENT doctors that I have visited. I had an ear infection, fluid discharged, took months to clear with antibiotics, but was left with tinnitus, this changed to pulsatile tinnitus, CT scan shows thinning of the inner ear bone. Scans showed no fluid (I now know that this was likely absorbed by my middle ear bones and led to the thinning and pulsatile tinnitus). Now how to fix it.

    Doctor, Like your Video. Good Explanation. GOD has a purpose for giving us 4 parathyroid gland. Shouldnt the effort be to find the CAUSE, rather than remove the SYMPTOMS, in which case BODY will have to damage other BODY PARTS to tell that SYMPTOM still persist and than the other BODY PARTS to will be removed.

    My doctor said to me: use a nose-spray to keep the tubes open. Even if you don’t have a cold your tubes can be too narrow to get the flued out (sometimes allergies). With a nose-spray you can get the tubes fully open. Use it for a week.
