Adrenal Fatigue Testing ~~~Hi Colleen

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Amy. I will continue to look into Adrenal Fatigue. I never

really heard about it until I got on this conference. Clearly, many

Hashi's people have this and I thought I should look into it. I will

wait for my other bloodwork to come back, see my Gastro guy and then

meet with the Naturopath. Somewhere along the line in the next month

or so I'd like to get further testing done including the Adrenals and

the heavy metal testing. I will also continue to learn about this

Naturopath who comes highly recommended. She really helped a woman I

know improve her health specifically with fertility, depression and

fatigue. The more I read the more I feel that western care mixed

with eastern medicine seems like a good route to take--albeit not as

mainstream as it may become in several years. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again-

Colleen
