Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Bee- My husband has been taking testosterone cream and has just started your candida program. He has seen significant benefits from the cream. Should he keep taking that supplement? Thanks, Lindsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hello Lindsi, If you don't mind answering, why is your husband using this cream? I am interested and wondering what its benefits would be. > > Bee- > > My husband has been taking testosterone cream and has just started your candida program.

In any case, when he is completely on this program (diet plus all supplements) he should stop using the cream. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 > > > bee- his test. scored low on the blood work..... +++Hi Lindsi, No one should rely on blood tests for levels of hormones, nutrients, etc. since they only test blood from the veins. Your circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is the system that, in humans and other higher animals, delivers oxygen, hormones and nutrients throughout the body by a complex network of vessels, and it carries carbon dioxide and waste products from the cells to organs that get rid of them, which are mainly through the lungs, liver, skin, and kidneys. There are two main types of vessels in the circulatory system: 1) The arteries 2) The veins Arteries mainly contain oxygen from the lungs, nutrients from the digestive system, and hormones, which they circulate to every cell throughout the body. The cells uptake the oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, and dump their waste products into the system along with carbon dioxide, which are carried away by the veins. Veins carry deoxygenated blood, carbon dioxide, waste products from the cells, and any nutrients or hormones the cells didn't need and/ or couldn't uptake (usually due to lack of other nutrients), back to the lungs so the carbon dioxide can be released along with any other waste products the lungs get rid of, and it circulates to other organs that get rid of waste like the liver, skin, kidneys, etc. Blood tests are taken from the veins, which contains blood that has been depleted of nutrients, hormones, oxygen, etc. by cells throughout the body. Therefore, blood from the veins mainly contain carbon dioxide, waste products from the cells, and hormones and nutrients the cells didn't need and/or couldn't use. The reason cells aren't able to uptake some nutrients and hormones is because other nutrients that work along with them are lacking and/or because cell membranes aren't healthy. All cell membranes must be constructed out of 50% saturated fat (lung cell membranes need 100%) in order to be healthy. If they aren't constructed properly the cells become weak and are less able to intake nutrients, hormones, etc. and get rid of their waste products. Also toxins make cell membranes rigid/stiff so the cells are less able to uptake nutrients, hormones, oxygen, water, etc. For example: Testing vitamin D levels in the blood has become popular these days however blood from the veins only indicates the amount of vitamin the cells didn't or couldn't uptake. The same is true for any other nutrients and hormones. In conclusion, testing your blood for hormones, and nutrients like Vitamin D, iron, calcium, B12, etc. is futile and meaningless since hormones and nutrients in veins only indicate what the cells did not uptake or did not need or could not use at a given time. That is why it is important to stick to the basics, by following the diet and only taking the supplements recommended. " More is not better. " Your body is smart enough to balance out all of its nutrient levels, hormones, etc. if it gets what it needs to do its job.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I would keep taking the DHEA.  Since this has shown it is helpful to you, then continue with it.  Get it on prescription NHS. I have been taking it for a few years now, the improvement continues.  The imbalance in my hormones has so much improved; but this has happened over the longterm....not just 12 months...... DHEA supports the adrenals, but also allows the body to decide what to do with it....this is so much better than anyone second guessing, even with blood test results, no-one does a better job than the body itself. 25mgs daily max for women and 50mgs daily max for men.  Hi everyone - I was wondering if anyone had had any success in either obtaining testosterone cream from an overseas internet pharmacy or from anyone in the UK?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi; I get mine from www.hormonesolutions.au They have various strengths of cream. It takes about 2-3 weeks to get here from Australia. A friend of mine gets her testosterone on the nhs and I was sure it was a cream. She is off on her hols at the moment but I will find out for sure when she returns. Kind regards Jane > > Hi everyone - I was wondering if anyone had had any success in either obtaining testosterone cream from an overseas internet pharmacy or from anyone in the UK? > > I have pituitary issues - my original level was 0.1 (range 0.4 to 9.0), but since taking DHEA supplements this has increased to 0.8 and I feel so much better in terms of memory, get up and go, motivation etc. > > My GP says the only thing they prescribe in the UK is patches and pills which can cause liver damage, while my endocrinologist seems to refuse to believe I need supplementation as he says he wants to return me to how I was before my pituitary packed up partially, not turn me into something more (despite me saying that the damn DHEA and testosterone rise is one of the few things that has actually made me feel more normal - argh!). > > I know in the US you can get bioidentical testosterone cream at the drop of a hat but it doesn't seem to be the case in the UK. If anyone knows different then please let me know. Thanks in advance! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
