Or you could just try hcg and see if your levels improve. To get there with your current endo would mean convincing him of 2 things: 1) that you have a deficiency 2) that hcg may be an appropriate treatment. Since he doesn't think you have a deficiency in the first place, he is going to refuse to treat with hcg. A person who blows you off with the " in range " argument, probably isn't going to be up to speed on hcg either. If you want to do this, either work with your GP or find a different endocrinologist. Don't waste any more time or money on the first endo. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Do you guys think HCG would do him a lot of good since he is the upper half on the LH range? Although I'm not sure about that LH range - seemed kind of low to me, but maybe it's a different unit of measurment than what I'm used to seeing. Normally I've seen the range be something like 1-10 or 1-20. Just wondering.. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Your husband's thyroid does appear to be low. Assuming the lab's reference ranges are correct, your husband's Free T3 should be above 3.5 (top 1/4 of the range). Check your husband's temp per this website to get a good sense of whether he has adrenal issues and thyroid issues, or just thyroid issues. www.stopthethyroidmadness.com. There is a good list called naturalthyroidhormone. You might want to join there for thyroid questions. I am still a relative newbie on this issue, but there are tons of really well versed people over there, including adults, who can help you out. Just know that if he treats his thyroid, he should go with Armour thyroid. You might run a few onibasu searches on this.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi , It doesn't matter in the least how much water you use but I strongly recommend you use an amount that's easy to calculate with. For example, use 10ml of water for every 10mg cap, so every 1ml of water will contain 1mg of naltrexone. Or use 100ml of water so every 10ml of water will contain 1mg of naltrexone. If you do that and want to take 3.0mg of naltrexone you shake the mixture and take 30ml of solution, for 4.5mg take 45ml of solution etc. antsavas wrote: > My problem is I have 10mg Antaxone caps and I don't know the proper > distilled water ratio to > mix an accurate solution. > > Could somebody please point me in the right direction? > > Thank you. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 What kind of test Dr.G. recommend to find out about Brain Inflammation and Viruses What kind of viruses has they found in Northern California. What kind has they found in your kids. Is it necessary to run the Spect scan? I feel uncomfortable in putting my kids under, for the test Is the SSr or Prozac are to be taken for just a short period of time or for lifetime? Is there any other natural way? I heard that prozac improves blood circulation to the brain. What about HBOT (help to heal the brain) instead prozac. Does the Dr.G recommend? Any comments are greatly appreciated sierra.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Does anyone have the studies on SSRIs improving blood flow? My son seems to get more tics when taking SSRIs - could this because SSRIs sometimes interfere with magnesium?
