Re: Got saliva results, is advice from Dr P still appropriate?

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Gently bumping this as I am desperate for some advice before I start the NAX in

a couple of days.

I am adding my results here as no one has got back about how to add to files or

attachments.

sample 1 17.8 (12 - 22)

sample 2 9.3 (5.0 - 9.0)

sample 3 6.6 (3.0 - 7.0)

sample 4 4.1 (1.0 - 3.0)

DHEA

sample 1 am 0.84 (0.20 -0.70)

sample 2 pm 0.75

DHEA Cortisol ratio 2.10 (0.6 - 3.0)

seven. Also to supplement with vit C and CQ10.

shows my cortisol and DHEA high at some point in the day. I did them on a day

when I was feeling to ill to do anything so there was very little external

stress. Does this mean that it is not my adrenals and that I don't need the

NAX. Have searched the forum but can't find any posts about both being high.

Hi Maire

have you tried contacting Dr Peatfield's office to see what they say?

Dr peatfield may have different advice for you if you now have results which

weren't available before? Only he can say really so i would contact his

office.

Maire,

It's much easier for all of us to read your test results if you post them the

way you did, if you have to open a file to see someones results, than not

everyone will do that.... also attachments don't always show up, depending on

the vagaries of the system.

Your adrenals don't look right, there is too much cortisol at night so it won't

let you sleep properly. Is it worth you contacting Dr P and confirming that

you still need the NAX? I suspect you will need it as adrenals which are not

right can produce too much cortisol or too little, but it may be worth checking.

Stopping thyroxine for a week shouldn't make you feel that bad, your body

generally stores it for 6 weeks at a time so stopping will allow the store to

run down a little......

Was there anything written on the bottom of the saliva test? Any comment?
