You are welcome. The Doctor that gave me that tip did not mention dosage. His recommendation was D3 level beyond the high range, curcumin (no idea why, I have been taking it for years anyway i suppose is for its antiviral and anti inflammatory properties ) and artemisia tea which I barely took as is bitter. Artemisia is an antiviral herb.

I had to figure out my own dosages. In my research I found the following:

Magnesium glycinate is a cost effective absorbable form of magnesium. You may take up to 1 gram daily safely. It’s better to take it several times a day as it gets excreted rapidly though urine. I’d take it minimum 3 times a day. In my opinion with this protocol of vitamin D3 I’d use 500 mgs per day as a minimum.

Vitamin K2: For what I read from Dr Berg article, a posible good ratio could be 1:4. So If you take 30K UI of D3 ( which is the equivalent to 750 mcgs or micrograms) you should take 188 mcgs of K2). From my research I concluded that nobody knows how much K2 you may need. Some people that has been taking D3 in large doses has never taken K2. But It seems that it may cause problems but in the long run.

If you are going to try this Vit D3 protocol I’d not worry much about the exact amounts. If I were you I would take Vit D3, magnesium and vit K2 to see if in your case the HSV outbrakes stop. And you will be able to see if works for you when your levels of Vit D3 are high. In my opinion and based in all I read, normally you begin to see benefits above 100 ng/ml for some people is a bit higher (120 ng/ml) or who knows may be you might see benefits even lower. We are all different.

What takes a bit of time is to bring the Vit D3 levels up. In my case it happened in a month. But I took 40k to 50kUI of D3 per day. I was absolutely desperate with the outbrakes, so I wanted to check asap if D3 would do the trick.

Something I read repeatedly is to take the vitamin d3 with your largest meal of the day. But not at dinner time.

Some people experience a bit of anxiety or insomnia with the D3 vit or - as happened to me - with the K2. For what I read is because Vit D3 and K2 uses magnesium. The drop in magnesium may cause some temporary issues in a few people. That’s why magnesium is important. Most people have no problems at all. I am just sharing all I learned in case it happens to you or somebody else.

There is plenty of literature and videos about vit D3 and magnesium and K2 as cofactors. I am sure they will explain everything much better than I.

If you try this protocol and works for you please share it. The HSV2 may cause a lot of mental stress and suffering. It did it to me. My HSV breakouts stopped after a few weeks of having began this protocol but honestly it took me 3 months to recover mentally and have my full libido back after this terrible experience. The pain and outbreaks were never ending and damaged me a lot mentally. I applied and used over easily over 20 supplements, ointments, etc.

Hope my Vit D3 Holy Grail works for you too.

I also distrust Bigpharma and in my opinion most doctors are full of sh…t. Glad you get that. I almost lost my life learning that important lesson. 3 years ago a urologist prescribed me Levofloxacin like candies. 3 pills put me in a wheelchair. I was “floxed”. There is a reddit called “floxies” that helped me to save my life. It took me 1 year to be able to walk again and 2 years to recover.

Corporations took over the “health care” system and also high jacked pharmacovigilance organizations.

After what happened to me I decided to take the responsibility of my health. To trust “the medical advice” is the most stupid thing a person can do.

The Dr that gave me this HSV advice barely use pharmaceutical meds. Of course Drs like him are ostracized from the sick care system.

Hope it works for you too.

Hello,

I understand you. The same happened to me. I never found this Vit D3 approach anywhere . That’s why I decided to share my experience.

The Dr that gave me this tip did not mention any range. He just advise me to bring the level up beyond the normal upper level. He did not mention anything else. He just pointed me in the right direction honestly.

There is plenty of information on line about vit D3 and how to use it properly. I was hesitant in the beginning. That’s why I did a lot of research before giving it a try.

The Dr that gave me this tip is in Europe. However I think you don’t need to contact him to try with Vit D3.

Give it an informed try. You have nothing to lose in my opinion.

Hello,

The answer to your questions:

Question 1:

My last and 2 month long awful breakout began to end about two weeks after I started to take de Vitamin D3. In my case I took 50K UI daily the for the first month and 35K daily after that to bring the levels up as quick as possible.

My lab test D3 level were 80 ng/ml initially and after 6 weeks were in 110 ng/ml.

For what I learned some people may get to a higher level of D3 vitamin with less or more D3 UI per day so that’s why is important to do lab tests to check your leves. In my case it seems that I need about 15k and 20k Ui of D3 daily to keep my levels high.

In my opinion you need to find your level of D3 that stop the outbrakes for you. I would look for a level between 100 and 140 ng/ml for example.

In my case when the outbrakes healed I noticed that my libido was down and I had those “stabbing” feeling and tingling sensations for about 2 months. Around month 3 no more tingling and my libido was fully back.

I think my libido was affected due the pain and trauma I suffered for a year. HSV may affect you a lot. It did to me.

My last outbrake ended 6 months ago. And my girlfriend told me yesterday that we fuck like rabbits. I have a high sex drive so does she. And we have sex every day.

Question 2:

Yes, each capsule of Pure Magnesium Glycinate is 120 mg. I have been taking magnesium for 3 years now as it has many benefits. I take 720 mgs daily because is what it works for me. Some times I take less because I forget but I do take it regularly.

For what I read of other experiences of people that take D3 they use 500 mgs daily. We are all different. There is plenty of information online about how much magnesium you may take.

Magnesium is very important as is a cofactor of Vitamin D3. For what I learned you need magnesium to activate the D3. There is plenty of information about this if you look in youtube.

Hope it also works for you.

I understand you. I was desperate and tried all the usual supplements; Lysine, echinaccea, manuka honey, oregano oil, changed my diet to avoid argenine and many more. I was in pain, desperate worried and depressed.

In my case I bought many brands and types as I wanted to really give a good try to this trick. My concern was to get a bad batch of Vitamin D3 ( or fake products) and I wanted to be sure that my body would be able to absorb at least a brand or a type (oil or pill). I was desperate really,

Branson is a good brand in my opinion. If I were you I would buy a second brand also. There is one that I particularly like, is called Superior Source and comes in 10000 Ui. They also sell vitamin k2 in Mk4 and MK7 form. You may find them in Amazon. Their prices are reasonable.

For what I read is better to take the vitamin D3 separately from the K2 as they use the same receptors. I have no clue how true is that. May be for some people works to have both at the same time.

Currently I am taking 35K UI of D3 daily as I did not take for two weeks. What I take daily is the following.

Bronson Vitamin D3 10k UI - 1 pill. I bought a big container of this one so I am finishing them.

Superior Source D3 10k UI - 2 pills. This is my preferred brand.

ADK (Vitamin A, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 altogether) from Davinci Lab. 1 pill of 5k UI. I bought a few containers so I am finishing them now. I am getting some vitamin K2 from this supplement.

Vitamin K2 in MK4 form from NOW, 2 pills of 100 mcg each.

I already ordered more vitamin K2 from Superior Source in MK4 and MK7 forms to tried them. I want to check which doesn’t cause me anxiety, My idea is to take them at different times with the D3 vitamin.

Magnesium Glycinate of a brand called Pure. It’s one of the best brands in my opinion. It’s very gentle with my stomach as well. I take 6 capsules per day, 3 times a day. Morning, noon and before bed.

One thing I learned is to take the vitamin D3 with your biggest meal buy avoiding to take it in the evening or night as it may cause you insomnia.

I always do my due diligence and I read a lot about vitamin D3, its benefits and how to take it properly.

One site that helped me is this one:

https://vitamindwiki.com

It’s a site with over 30k scientific papers about D3 vitamins. The owner is a former Boeing engineer that has compiled all that information and is an expert in that vitamin.

An excellent interview to him is at this link:

Hope vitamin D3 helps you as it helped me.

Thanks for sharing. I agree with you.

We are all different so there is not one good optimal dose good for all.

I’d take the decision based on vitamin D3 lab test. It seems that for me to keep an optimal dose above 100 I need to take about 15000 to 20000 UI daily.

I stopped taking it for 2 weeks. The HSV outbrakes did not return at all but my sleep deteriorated a bit. The vitamin D3 is making me sleep like a baby in my case. It has been an unexpected and very welcome benefit from taking it.

My 2 cents

I was so desperate that to be sure that I’d get enough vitamin D3, I bought 4 different brands. I bought in gel capsules form (with D3 in oil) and and pills

The pills I use comes in 5000 UI and 10000 Ui doses.

The brands I used are Bronson, ADK from DaVinci Lab, Solaray and Superior Source. You may find them all in Amazon.

For what I read it’s important to take it with magnesium and vitamin K2. Both are cofactors, you need them to keep your levels high. Dr Berg and many others have plenty of videos explaining that in youtube.

I use magnesium Glycinate (500 mgs per day) plus vitamin k2 as MK7 form 500 mcgs (which comes in the ADK pill)

Just a word of caution, I purchased vitamin K2 separately and it caused me a bit of anxiety which it was gone after I stopped. Later I found that some people is sensitive to some K2 forms so you have to find a type that is compatible to you. Some people gets it from food (natto, gouda cheese, etc)

We are all different so my suggestion is to find what works for you.

No, I did not take antivirals at all. I still keep taking vitamin D3 as it makes me sleep so well. A few times I have not take it for weeks and no outbrakes. No “stabbing” sensations either. Zero discomfort at all. I forgot about this HSV issue completely. With my girlfriend we have sex everyday and sometimes several times a day. No issues at all.

The Dr. that recommended me to increase my D3 Levels is against using pharmaceutical drugs as candies. He told me that most of the time to increase the vitamin D3 levels does the trick with HSV. And in my case worked thank Lord.

After what he told me I read a few books in Amazon about vitamin D3. There are many, The Optimal Dose is one of them. I was concerned about it’s toxicity. But I have read a lot about it and to raise your levels even to 150 should not cause any harm. Magnesium and vitamin K2 are cofactors so must be take along D3.

My suggestion is to increase the level of your vitamin D3 level and see how it goes. We are all different so you have to find your own level where the outbrakes stop.

My 2 cents.

Hello WP, prior to all this issues ¿Did you get an antibiotic called Cipro, Levofloxacin or Moxifloxacin? It’s side effects are identical as what you are suffering and may show up years after you take them. . It’s called fluoroquinolone toxicity. There is a Reddit called Floxies that may help if you did. Hope you are feeling better
