Re: Re: chloestramine (or just CSM)

I had asked my P.A. about CSM, but he said that I was unable to take

it because of my liver damage. So much has to be taken into

consideration depending upon how much damage the mold has done.

can you tell me what the liver damage has to do with CSM?

Jolly,Can you point me towards where you found out about the effect of cytokines

on FT3, please. Do you know what test might pick this up? I finally have found a

doctor who is open-minded and willing to help. I had thyroid issues (hashis)

prior to wdb exposure but within some months after leaving the place all three

antibodies were going off the charts. The doctor at that time didn't believe in

rt3 wouldn't test it. He claimed I now had graves and hashis. In hindsight, I've

felt that there was a problem with my T4-T3 conversion- which fits with what you

have stated. Any guidance to help me and my new doc would be greatly

appreciated.Thanks!Sam
