Re: TSH going high and temps dropping/questions on dosage & testing

[Guest guest]

You need to check on your adrenals... they run the sex hormones and

help the thyroid work at optimum function!!!

I started using time-release magnesium and time-release Vit C and

that helps me to not have such loose bowels! Not a fun side effect.

the luteal phase. I'm just wondering how long this might

last and if I

should be increasing or decreasing my dosage of Lugols. Do

I increase my

thyroid medication to compensate for the higher TSH? I

probably need a Free

T3 and Free T4 done first. Also, the ND did an iodine test

with my recent

sugar and TSH test and it came back high. Can you rely on

blood tests for

iodine?

One other question.. are loose bowels a sign of detox?

I've been having that

pretty bad every night. I've been taking all the companion

nutrients.

Thank you!

Liposomal C does not bother the bowels (at least not if you make the buffered version.)AnneOn Feb 21, 2011, at 4:46 PM, Teel wrote: You need to check on your adrenals... they run the sex hormones and help the thyroid work at optimum function!!!
