I have had these symptoms, and felt hormones played the big part in that. Be very careful, and I hope you have talked to your doctor first before trying these treatments.
That goes for everyone actually. These cleanses can "shake things up" and you don't know what you might be risking.
Your doc will take a look at your heath history, and formulate his advice accordingly.
Shroom

I was having tachycardia several times a day. It is a mild fluttering sensation. The heart stops beating and quivers. Two days after I began taking Iodine, the tachycardia stopped, and it has not returned.

Since I began taking Iodine, however, I've experienced a different kind of heart palpitation, on two occassions, when pulsing upwards, my heart pounded hard for a few beats. It felt good to me, like my heart was cleaning itself out. None the less, I lowered the dose. And it went away, both times.

It occasionally feels to me like there is something is moving/crawing/digging around in my chest. It only happens when I am taking high doses of anti-parasiticals, and going for a deep cleanse. It used to happen a lot more, before I began parasite cleansing.
The sensation feels to me like there is a colony of parasites living next to my heart. I've often wondered if tachycardia is parasite related.

There is such a thing as heart worms.

Could be one of 2 things::::

1. Die off will evoke an adrenal response... adrenals are key to regulating your autonomic nervous system... any immune and/or toxin will evoke an adrenal response... magnesium is the regulator of this.... potassium as well... but magnesium is very important

2. you are experiencing some toxic overload of one of the ingredients of HW... it probably has artemsia which according to some should be pulsed or used for shorter periods of time ... some claim it has toxicity issues.... I used Parasitin and it scared the @#$@# out of me, as I went into a mother panic attack... was this the homeopathics, the artemsia or some die off it created??? don't know.

here is a post I found about magnesium

Magnesium stabilizes ATP[i], allowing
DNA and RNA transcriptions and repairs.[ii]


There is a power and a force in magnesium that cannot be equaled anywhere else in the world of medicine. There is no substitute for

magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of its effect on overall cell physiology. Without sufficient

magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. It goes against a gale wind of

medical Science to ignore magnesium chloride used transdermally in the treatment of any chronic or acute disorder, especially cancer.


Magnesium repletion produced rapid
disappearance of the periosteal tumors.[iii]


Aleksandrowicz et al in Poland conclude that inadequacy of Mg and antioxidants are important risk factors in predisposing to leukemias.[iv]

Other researchers found that 46% of the patients admitted to an ICU in a tertiary cancer center presented hypomagnesemia. They concluded

that the incidence of hypomagnesemia in critically ill cancer patients is high.[v] In animal studies we find that Mg deficiency has caused

lymphopoietic neoplasms in young rats. A study of rats surviving Mg deficiency sufficient to cause death in convulsions during early infancy in

some, and cardiorenal lesions weeks later in others, disclosed that some of survivors had thymic nodules or lymphosarcoma.[vi]


One would not normally think that Magnesium (Mg) deficiency can paradoxically increase the risk of, or protect against cancer yet we will find

that just as severe dehydration or asphyxiation can cause death magnesium deficiency can directly lead to cancer. When you consider that

over 300 enzymes and ion transport require magnesium and that its role in fatty acid and phospholipids acid metabolism affects permeability

and stability of membranes, we can see that magnesium deficiency would lead to physiological decline in cells setting the stage for cancer.

Anything that weakens cell physiology will lead to the infections that surround and penetrate tumor tissues. These infections are proving to be

an integral part of cancer. Magnesium deficiency poses a direct threat to the health of our cells. Without sufficient amounts our cells calcify

and rot in. Breeding grounds for yeast and fungi colonies they become, invaders all to ready to strangle our life force and kill us.


Over 300 different enzymes systems rely upon magnesium to facilitate
their catalytic action, including ATP metabolism, creatine-kinase
activation, adenylate-cyclase, and sodium-potassium-ATPase.[vii]


It is known that carcinogenesis induces magnesium distribution disturbances, which cause magnesium mobilization through blood cells and

magnesium depletion in non-neoplastic tissues. Magnesium deficiency seems to be carcinogenic, and in case of solid tumors, a high level of

supplemented magnesium inhibits carcinogenesis.[viii] Both carcinogenesis and magnesium deficiency increase the plasma membrane

permeability and fluidity. Scientists have in fact found out that there is much less Mg++ binding to membrane phospholipids of cancer cells,

than to normal cell membranes.[ix]


Magnesium protects cells from aluminum,
mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel.


Magnesium in general is essential for the survival of our cells but takes on further importance in the age of toxicity where our bodies are

being bombarded on a daily basis with heavy metals. Glutathione requires magnesium for its synthesis.[x] Glutathione synthetase requires γ-

glutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP, and magnesium ions to form glutathione.[xi] In magnesium deficiency, the enzyme y-glutamyl transpeptidase

is lowered.[xii] According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, low magnesium is associated with dramatic increases in free radical generation as well as

glutathione depletion and this is vital since glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules known to neutralize mercury.[xiii] Without the

cleaning and chelating work of glutathione (magnesium) cells begin to decay as cellular filth and heavy metals accumulates; excellent

environments to attract deadly infection/cancer.


There is drastic change in ionic flux from the outer
and inner cell membranes both in the impaired
membranes of cancer, and in Mg deficiency.


Anghileri et al[xiv],[xv] proposed that modifications of cell membranes are principal triggering factors in cell transformation leading to cancer.

Using cells from induced cancers, they found that there is much less magnesium binding to membrane phospholipids of cancer cells, than to

normal cell membranes.[xvi] It has been suggested that Mg deficiency may trigger carcinogenesis by increasing membrane permeability.[xvii]

Magnesium deficient cells membranes seem to have a smoother surface than normal, and decreased membrane viscosity, analogous to

changes in human leukemia cells.[xviii],[xix] There is drastic change in ionic flux from the outer and inner cell membranes (higher Ca and Na;

lower Mg and K levels), both in the impaired membranes of cancer, and of Mg deficiency. And we find that lead (Pb) salts, are more

leukemogenic when given to Mg deficient rats, than when they are given to Mg-adequate rats, suggesting that Mg is protective.[xx]


Magnesium has an effect on a variety of cell membranes
through a process involving calcium channels and ion transport
mechanisms. Magnesium is responsible for the maintenance
of the trans-membrane gradients of sodium and potassium.


Long ago researchers postulated that magnesium supplementation of those who are Mg deficient, like chronic alcoholics, might decrease

emergence of malignancies[xxi] and now modern researchers have found that all types of alcohol — wine, beer or liquor — add equally to

the risk of developing Breast Cancer in women. The researchers, led by Dr. Arthur Klatsky of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in

Oakland, Calif., revealed their findings at a meeting of the European Cancer Organization in Barcelona in late 2007. It was found that women

who had one or two drinks a day increased their risk of developing Breast Cancer by 10 percent. Women who had more than three drinks a

day raised their risk by 30 percent. The more one drinks the more one drives down magnesium levels.


Breast cancer is the second most common cancer
killer of women, after lung cancer. It will be diagnosed in
1.2 million people globally this year and will kill 500,000.


According to data published in the British Journal of Cancer in 2002, 4 percent of all breast cancers — about 44,000 cases a year — in the

United Kingdom are due to alcohol consumption. It’s an important question though, and one not asked by medical or health officials, is it the

alcohol itself or the resultant drop in magnesium levels that is cancer provoking? Though some studies have shown that light- to moderate

alcohol use can protect against heart attacks it does us no good to drink if it cause cancer. Perhaps if magnesium was supplemented in

women drinkers who were studied there would have been no increase of cancer from drinking.


Alcohol has always been known to deplete magnesium,
and is one of the first supplements given to alcoholics
when they stop and attempt to detoxify and withdraw.


Researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota have just concluded that diets rich in magnesium reduced the

occurrence of colon cancer.[xxii] A previous study from Sweden[xxiii] reported that women with the highest magnesium intake had a 40 per

cent lower risk of developing the cancer than those with the lowest intake of the mineral.


Pre-treatment hypomagnesemia has been reported
in young leukemic children, 78% of whom have histories
of anorexia, and have excessive gut and urinary losses of Mg.[xxiv]


Several studies have shown an increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium levels in soil and drinking water, and the same for

selenium. In Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10% of that in Europe and America. In the rural fellah it was practically non-existent. The

main difference was an extremely high magnesium intake of 2.5 to 3g in these cancer-free populations, ten times more than in most western

countries.[xxv]


The School of Public Health at the Kaohsiung Medical College in,

Taiwan, found that magnesium also exerts a protective effect
against gastric cancer, but only for the group with the highest levels.[xxvi]


If we looked it would probably be very difficult to find a cancer patient with anywhere near normal levels of cellular magnesium meaning

cancer probably does not exist in a physical cellular environment full of magnesium. It makes perfect medical sense to saturate the body with

magnesium through transdermal means. Magnesium deficiency has been implicated in a host of clinical disorders but the medical

establishment just cannot get it through its thick skull that it is an important medicine.


It is as if the collective medical profession had just pulled the plug on medical intelligence. In fact it has done exactly this and it seems too

late for it to redefine itself, which is a tragedy. Though magnesium improves the internal production of defensive substances, such as

antibodies and considerably improves the operational activity of white granulozytic blood cells (shown by Delbert with magnesium chloride),

and contributes to many other functions that insure the integrity of cellular metabolism, no one thinks to use it in cancer as a primary

treatment. It is even worse than this, the medical establishment does not even use magnesium as a secondary treatment or even use it at all

and gladly uses radiation and chemo therapy, both of which force magnesium levels down further.


To not replete cellular magnesium levels would be negligent especially in the case of cancer where a person’s life is on the line. An oncologist

who ignores his patient’s magnesium levels would be analogous to an emergency room physician not rushing resuscitation when a person

stops breathing. If one elects to have or has already had chemotherapy they have four times the reason to pay attention to a concentrated

protocol aimed at replenishing full magnesium cellular stores.


Magnesium chloride is the first and most important item in any person’s cancer treatment strategy. Put in the clearest terms possible, our

suggestion from the first day on the Survival Medicine Cancer Protocol is to almost drown oneself in transdermally applied magnesium

chloride. It should be the first not the last thing we think of when it comes to cancer. It takes about three to four months to drive up cellular

magnesium levels to where they should be when treated intensely transdermally but within days patients will commonly experience its life

saving medical/healing effects. For many people whose bodies are starving for magnesium the experience is not too much different than for

a person coming out of a desert desperate for water. It is that basic to life, that important, that necessary.


That same power found in magnesium that will save your life in the emergency room during cardiac arrest, that will diminish damage of a

stroke if administered in a timely fashion is the same power that can save one’s life if one has cancer. All a patient has to do is pour it into

their baths or spray it right onto their bodies. What could be simpler?


Magnesium chloride, when applied directly
to the skin, is transdermally absorbed and has an
almost immediate effect on chronic and acute pain.


Special Note on Calcium and Cancer:


Experts say excessive calcium intake may be unwise in light of recent studies showing that high amounts of the mineral may increase risk of

prostate cancer. “There is reasonable evidence to suggest that calcium may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer,”

says Dr. Carmen Rodriguez, senior epidemiologist in the epidemiology and surveillance research department of the American Cancer Society

(ACS). Rodriguez says that a 1998 Harvard School of Public Health study of 47,781 men found those consuming between 1,500 and 1,999 mg

of calcium per day had about double the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) prostate

cancer as those getting 500 mg per day or less. And those taking in 2,000 mg or more had over four times the risk of developing metastatic

prostate cancer as those taking in less than 500 mg.


Calcium and magnesium are opposites in their effects
on our body structure. As a general rule, the more
rigid and inflexible our body structure is, the
less calcium and the more magnesium we need.


Later in 1998, Harvard researchers published a study of dairy product intake among 526 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and 536 similar

men not diagnosed with the disease. That study found a 50% increase in prostate cancer risk and a near doubling of risk of metastatic

prostate cancer among men consuming high amounts of dairy products, likely due, say the researchers, to the high total amount of calcium in

such a diet. The most recent Harvard study on the topic, published in October 2001, looked at dairy product intake among 20,885 men and

found men consuming the most dairy products had about 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those consuming the least.


The adverse effects of excessive calcium intake may include high blood calcium levels, kidney stone formation and kidney complications.[xxvii]

Elevated calcium levels are also associated with arthritic/joint and vascular degeneration, calcification of soft tissue, hypertension and stroke,

and increase in VLDL triglycerides, gastrointestinal disturbances, mood and depressive disorders, chronic fatigue, and general mineral

imbalances including magnesium, zinc, iron and phosphorus. High calcium levels interfere with Vitamin D and subsequently inhibit the

vitamin’s cancer protective effect unless extra amounts of Vitamin D are supplemented.[xxviii]


Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents
the calcification of our organs and tissues that is
characteristic of the old-age related degeneration of our body.


Recommendations of magnesium to calcium ratios range from 1:2 to 1:1. For those interested in preventing cancer one should look closely at

the 1:1 camp and during the first six months of treatment one should be looking at ten parts magnesium to one part calcium. In reality one

need not even count the ratio during the first months for the only real danger of extremely high magnesium levels comes with patients

suffering from kidney failure. If one is at all concerned about their calcium intake one should eat foods high in both calcium and magnesium

like toasted sesame seeds.


Up to 30% of the energy of cells is
used to pump calcium out of the cells.



Doctors who have used intravenous magnesium treatments know the benefits of peaking magnesium levels, even if only temporarily. For the

cancer patient the transdermal approach combined with oral use offers the opportunity to take magnesium levels up strongly and quickly. For

emergency situations three applications a day, for urgent two treatments would be indicated though one strong treatment with an ounce of a

natural magnesium chloride solution spread all over the body like a sun screen is a powerful systemic treatment.



Calcium requirement for men and
women is lower than previously estimated.
US Department of Agriculture


It is medical wisdom that tells us that magnesium is actually the key to the body's proper assimilation and use of calcium, as well as other

important nutrients. If we consume too much calcium, without sufficient magnesium, the excess calcium is not utilized correctly and may

actually become toxic, causing painful conditions in the body. Hypocalcemia is a prominent manifestation of magnesium deficiency in humans

(Rude et al., 1976). Even mild degrees of magnesium depletion significantly decreases the serum calcium concentration (Fatemi et al., 1991).

I have had heart rhythm irregularities while taking anti-parasitical herbs. although at the time, I was quite sick and over run with these things, so my constitution was not strong. but I had bouts of altered rhythms, and at times my heart would race for no reason. in general, it did not feel stable. and I felt sick as a dog.

it got severely bad one time, with my heart pounding out of my chest like never before, my pulse was about 150 bpm, and my blood pressure dropped to 90/60. I was scared out of my head. but this was at a very sick time in my life. these things do not happen now when I take anti-parasiticals.

if you find you're having trouble stablizing the heart, or just feel sort of crazed and unwell...take it slower, or take a small break, it may only take a day or two of stopping to re-establish stability. for me, I found no benefit in pushing through if symptoms start effecting heart and circulation (I've also had blood pressure reactions). but you know yourself on what feels like within tolerable and safe reaction, and what maybe is pushing the limits.

let us know how you're doing..
