Has the Celtic Sea Water drink info. Let me tell you the water saved me. Almost

gave up many times. But understanding that all those symptoms were the detox

and that the salt water helped, kept me going. Do NOT use regular table salt.

Do NOT. It MUST be unrefined salt (ie: Celtic, Himalayan, Redmond's) ONLY.

Very, very important. It will help you immensely. I hope this helps you.

this morning within a few hours of taking today's dose. I will continue to take

it and increase as possible but if the air hunger intensifies or is accompanied

by anxiety or panic attacks, I don't know if I can.

20-25 mg last year when those reactions were in full force.

Pamela are you doing the extra salt loading for detox?  Or just 1/2 - 1 tsp a day?  Sounds like you may need to up the salt intake.

 

Just a thought.

I do take ALL supporting supplements including sea salt in water.  I still had the air hunger this morning - mild but only at 12.5 mg.  Within 1/2 hour of drinking the salt water.  It was worse at 25 mg last year.  I was taking supporting supplements then, too.

I am not thyroidless and have NOT had thyroid cancer. I say that because of my

below range TSH result. I take 1.5 gr of NT. My doctor wanted to reduce it

based on these results. I didn't reduce them. I know the TSH says I'm not hypo

but still don't quite understand how to interpret the frees.

Free T3: 4.53 (2.18-3.98)

Free T4: 1.18 (.76-1.46)

TSH: <0.005 (.3-3.0)

D3: 37.8 (32-100)

B12: 839 (254-1320)

Ferritin: 32 (8-252)

FSH: 9.9 (2.5-10.5)

Then I asked for the antibodies tests. I thought he ordered only one of

them. Here are the results (they were given to me over the phone so I'm

not sure whether I got the info right or not):

thyroid peroxidase 9

Antithyroglob 50 Both of these are given the range

of 0-40

Adrenal testing (and saliva hormone tests) is a year old.

Estradiol: 1.8 (1.3-3.3)

Progesterone: 47L (75-270)

Ratio: Pg/E2 26 L (Optimal 100-500 when E2

1.3-3.3)

Testosterone 54 (16-47)

DHEAS 12.4 (3.9-11.4 for 31-45

years old or 2.7-8 for 46-60 years old)

Cortisol Morning 11.7 H (3.7-9.5)

Cortisol Noon 2.1 (1.2-3.0)

Cortisol Evening 2.3 H (0.6-1.9)

Cortisol Night 0.3 L (.4-1.0)

I was told that although they are a little out of balance it wasn't something

that needed anything done unless I was experiencing uncomfortable symptoms.

I would test adrenal function again. Tests from a year ago aren't going to tell

you what's going on now. Your thyroid results would be good as far as some docs

are concerned. Some docs will let you keep your FT3 a little over range. You

want both the FT4 and FT3 in the upper third of the range. If these are recent

thyroid labs, then I'd definitely check adrenal labs again.

Then make sure to support adrenals naturally as well as you can. Keep your

sleep patterns normal, regular bedtime and wake up time. Eat meals on a regular

schedule and try not to go too long without a meal or snack. Make sure you're

getting enough salt (very important), Vit C (you can increase this to bowel

tolerance), magnesium (increase to bowel tolerance also, plus many symptoms of

adrenal fatigue are actually a magnesium deficiency), Vit E, and B vitamins. A

product that provides amino acids can be very beneficial. Undenatured whey or

something similar. The Metagenics Ultraclear that Steph recommends is a great

product, although it is expensive. True Whey is a good product also and you can

get that from Vitacost usually for about $25. A greens formula can be a good

source of B vitamins.

Hello ,

Bowel tolerance is several small soft stools a day, but not watery diarrhea.

Thanks, Linn. I didn't take the Lugol's today although I took the supplements.

I had a bad night last night - my 18 year old daughter has a skin infection that

may be MRSA and I was checking on it all night, debating a trip to the ER.

She's on Bactrim for it but it looked pretty bad last night and I was worried.

So today I was just feeling off and already a bit anxious so thought it better

to avoid anything that would increase anxiety. (I'm fighting a very persistent

sinus infection, too, and another daughter was diagnosed with pink eye today!)

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I thought there was a problem with taking too much magnesium. Are you saying

there isn't? How do you know what enough salt is? I liberally salt my food

with unrefined sea salt and drink at least 1/2 tsp in water every day -

sometimes more if I just feel like it (I am one of the rare people who enjoys

the taste of salt water - plain water sometimes just doesn't seem like enough

for me). I also have NAC - that's an amino acid, isn't it? Will that be

helpful? I've been a bit hesitant to take it because I read that it is not good

to take if one has mercury fillings. I still have a few.

I do have a whey protein powder that my husband bought. I also take

ashwagandha.

I wouldn't hesitate to add magnesium, it's something I would not go without.

Personally I think a lot of folk's adrenal symptoms are due to magnesium

deficiency. How much magnesium do you take? 1/2 to 1 tsp of good quality salt

if fine. NAC is a metabolite of cysteine and will help increase glutathione.

Glutathione deficiency Is found in patients with CFS, diabetes, Autoimmune

diseases, liver and kidney issues, heart and cancer, etc. The whey would be a

good source of amino acids. A deficiency in amino acids can cause a host of

issues and cause the same type of symptoms as adrenal fatigue.
