I know we have "brain damage" symptoms reversing (clonus), and "weak muscles" getting stronger, but whether this can "turn on/off" genetic markers like breaking down cholesterol - no clue.

However, my dystonic population has seen very mixed results; it appears that magnesium is a "major" deficiency for them BUT until we get the "base" missing trace minerals in them, they can't get/process what they need if it the "only" thing given. (Once they can, the extra magnesium also helps with the constipation problems that make so many of our kids live on miralax, which causes more problems because it interferes with lower intestine absorption issues in adults after seven days.) And your case brings up another thing - just *when* did you start not being able to deal with the cholesterol? Was this a lifelong issue when you were a child, or did something happen to kill off the stuff that helped you process the things you needed --

It is truly an interesting thing, and I hope someone looks into it. In the meantime, very happy you are here still!
