Put them in soup and freeze the soup? Carrots seem to keep a long time.

Other than cucumbers and tomatoes, vegetables generally freeze very

well. However, you can't just chunk them in the freezer. Most have

to be blanched first... slice, dice, whatever then dunk in boiling

water for a mo', cool than freeze.

Your son's differential diagnosis might include 'precocious puberty' as

a possibility.

The google search (don't use quotes)

precocious puberty in males

is very informative

My understanding about the testosterone issue is this (but I'm away from my

notes so don't hold me to it): Dr. Deth found out that the mercury in

vaccines destroys or disables the methionine synthase enzyme and injures the

IGF-1, which is growth hormone. This value is very low in many kids, even

though they may not look as if their growth is delayed - in fact, their growth

charts can be normal even though the IGF-1 is low. When checking these kids for

growth hormone, many of the boys were found to have high testosterone, and

apparently Dr. Boyd Haley then did some work that showed that mercury and

testosterone are synergistic, and that the high testosterone holds on to the

mercury and makes it harder to chelate these kids successfully. They (the

Geiers') have some kids they have been giving Lupron to try to take the

testosterone down in hopes that they can get the mercury chelated out sooner,

and they report some success. However, I and many DAN! doctors feel that too

much is unknown about the future of kids who have this kind of treatment,

especially if they are prepubertal, and may injure their growth in sexual and

other ways too and impair their future masculinity. We have all worked

successfully to chelate many kids without " messing around " with their hormones,

and I would sure have to have more evidence that this would not harm them before

I would be willing to do it. We have invited the Geiers to tell us more details

about it in the Think Tank and I may reconsider, but for now I and many other

DAN! docs are watching and waiting on this one. Dr. JM

& Elsass wrote: I am new to this list,

so forgive me if this has already been addressed a

lot.

I had the regular doc check my 4-year old's serum testosterone level due to

aggression among other things and if I'm reading it right, it is in the

pre-pubescent level (age 10-14). His result was 58 NG/DL, and it says for a

child less than 10, it should be <10.

Does anyone have any experience with this? My husband has already said that

I'll mess with his hormone levels over his dead body...and I would tend to

worry about doing that as well. But I do feel it explains some of the

negative behaviors we've seen.

Speaking from an experience of having accidentally overdosed on

Testosterone (the pharmacy made it 10x too strong... i had 10 mg per

dose instead of 1!) anyway, i had taken 70 mg over 10 days. and the

reaction was like i had drank 10 pots of coffee, 10 bottles of

excederine. i was so hyper for days i needed an anti-axiety during

the day just to keep from gnawing my furniture.

So given what i experienced at the OD level, yes, i think it can

cause a " little " hyperness even at a normal dose for women (not my

OD). (becuase if i od'd on it and i slept all the time, that would

maybe indicate it doesn't cause hyperness at low levels.) speak with

your doctor about dosage and how to adjust for just the right level.

it took several months for me to get rid of the symptoms after that

10 day dose....meaning it was still afecting my body because the

hormone was still wandering around in there at high levels.

good luck!

I also am hyper when my total T is higher and especially when my

FreeT is higher..if it were me, I'd be thinking about lowering my

dose.

,

I was just given a prescription for testosterone cream 3% and to take

1/4 teaspoon a day. I called the pharmacy to see if this was right and

was told that it is about 31mg of testosterone a day and that not al of

it gets absorbed. They told me that this is one of the lower doses and

that it was right. Does this seem like to much to you??

[Guest guest]

Seems too high to me. I was taking 1.5 mg twice a day my total T level

got to be over 100 and my free was high too. I have decreased it by

half. I am one who feels good with a somewhat high T but this was too

much for me. Be careful because all of the hormones are like a

symphomy. Right now I am not in sync and am working to get in my

rhythm again. It is hard with all of life's challenges to stay in

the right rhythm all the time. I am a work in progress like us all I

guess.Good luck getting regulated.

Hi Kim,

Look through the archives on this list on how Testosterone should be

dosed for women. I think it is .1% or .2% for .5 grams of product which

would equate to 1 or 2 mg of T. I think...i'm not a math guru and i get

all confused with the way the compounders write the scripts. And since

i'm not taking it, i can't remember how it is properly " written " for

women. compared to men's dose, it should be teeny tiny. 31 mg seems

really high. and if you're hyper, i could see why...

in the archives, i think there's an email from me somewhere that

spelled out the dosing i had versus what i should have had. and then

others chimmed in on Vliet's recommended doses.

The archives should be in Dec 2007 and Jan 2008 of talk about this

stuff.
