This post is not providing any medical advice. I have been researching this topic for several months now, mostly out of personal interest, but I believe these findings may help many people, including potentially those injured by vaccines, hence I am sharing my thinking on this topic.
I live at high altitude in Sierra Nevada mountains, in a very dry climate, and I mountain bike at high altitude typically between 6500 and 9000 ft. I am a healthy 54, I take no meds, eat well and exercise regularly, but I started noticing that some strenuous bike rides which I had no difficulty completing before, became more challenging.
There were other minor nuisance issues like stuffy nose and peripheral edema when hiking, which are all considered “normal”, but were quite annoying to me. After looking at various possible aspects, I zeroed in on hydration. While I have been routinely drinking adequate volume of water, turns out water is not the only aspect of hydration. The human body maintains an extremely fine-tuned state of homeostasis, which relies on stable flow of blood and other fluids, and the stability of this flow is ensured by something called “zeta potential”.
I was previously somewhat familiar with the concept of zeta potential as it applies to contact lenses - it is one of the quality parameters which, if not quite right, will start accumulating proteins on the lens surface causing cloudiness. People with diminished zeta potential will get protein accumulation on contact lenses even when the contact lens itself is perfect. Recently a friend reported that increasing intake of magnesium made their monthly contact lens last for 3 months, whereas before they couldn’t get even the full month out of them due to protein accumulation
