Super High blood preassure

@yerrag
What are your thoughts on supplementing albumin? -
@jorda11
How do you feel at 180/120? -
@slawekb I think it's better to have your liver healthy and supply yourself with enough protein and sulfur so it continues to make albumin. Egg white has albumin but I personally don't think it makes much difference in helping me lower BP.

@slawekb i do suffer from some headaches
if the BP goes higher i feel pressure in my nose and head -
@yerrag hmm interesting, i was thinking my calcium levels might have been to high from the d3
-
mag, potassium, vitamin e.

@jorda11
I feel a preassure around my neck, right where thyroid is...almost as if someone is trying to choke me...gently -
how would taking D3 in excess cause calcium levels to go high? It's only activated D3 in the form of calcitriol that would case PTH to be high enough to trigger osteoclastic activity, where calcium is leeched from bones to increase serum calcium.
even if you took plenty of calcium, it would end up building bone structure when the ratio of extracellular calcium to cellular calcium exceeds an optimal ratio of 15000, but if you're hypothyroid all bets are off. More calcium would end up in the cells and over time this would lead to internal calcification and fibrosis. With tissues and organs stiffened and shrinking, it would easily cause high blood pressure. But hypertension is always a result, or effect of a larger cause. Hypertension is never a primary cause, but a secondary one. But our doctors never got the memo, because there is none.

Ive tried mag and potassium but no improvement

If you're not into finding root causes and just merely drown yourself in a smorgasbord of substances, you won't go anywhere.
Since doctors are not trained to troubleshoot, and if you don't do it yourself, the default solution is to take prescription drugs.
It's a tall order, which is why I've never found a doctor, conventional or wholistic, who knows how to go about it.
I do it against all odds, but glad for reading Ray Peat and complementing his ideas with those outside bioenergetics, I get some sort of mishmash or fusion going in an admittedly amateurish fashion by connecting the dots myself. But it's tedious. It's paying off in the better understanding I have now, even though I am heavily dependent on my n=1. As it has been a solo flight. Working as a collaboration is harder as synergistic minds don't exist in a world filled with myths and made up of imaginary gremlins and banshees written by ghost writers in medical texts.
