Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for posting these results Miriam and for posting Dr P's comments. Yes, they are interesting and what Dr P says about the possibility of a chemical block in his T3 uptake. Such a block could be caused through toxic substances such as phenols, cadmium, and mercury and some medications such as propranolol, amiodarone and several others that may interfere by inhibiting the T4 to T3 conversion. Also, there could be deficiencies in hormones, such as T3 itself, TSH, growth hormone, insulin, cortisone and certain trace elements such as selenium, iron, zinc, copper, iodine which can all partially block this essential conversion step for thyroid function. Somebody more with a more scientific background hopefully can tell you more. let us know how he/you get on with the telephone consultation. Luv - Sheila I am going to have a telephone consultation about this. In the meantime, does anyone know more about the possible chemical blocks to T3 utilisation? I would like to read more about it if possible. Many of the blocks discussed here on the group are to do with T4 to T3 conversion, aren't they, rather than T3 uptake?

He is not taking any medication, so that simplifies things. It doesn't look as though there is a T4 to T3 conversion problem because although T4 is low there is a lot of T3. So I really need to differentiate between the factors that inhibit T4 to T3 conversion, and the factors that could inhibit uptake of T3. > let us know how he/you get on with the telephone consultation. ......... Dr P asked me to double check that my son hadn't been taking any recreational drugs, but I am pretty sure he hasn't. I discussed the matter with him yesterday, and I think if he had taken anything he would have said so. Besides, it wouldn't make sense because he has always had strange things wrong with his health, not just recently. He has noise sensitivity and light sensitivity, had vivid nightmares as a child, occasional difficulty getting his breath when asleep, sleepwalking, then as a teenager terrible migraines. Thanks, Sheila, for all the suggestions for things to follow up. I have made a note of everything and shall see what I can find out. At the moment Dr P is baffled. We are going to do Genova's hair mineral analysis next and see if that provides any clues. Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 That is something that might need looking into Miriam, but no doubt our Bob will be able to help you with this one.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Absolutely you can have perfectly normal labs and be full-blown . If there really was a lab marker available, we wouldn't be having soooo much trouble getting mainstream to grab on to this. My kids' was pretty much the same, only subtle markers. He responded very very well to the protocol. No worries! ________________________________ From: maryjos <ilovekidsanddogs@...> Sent: Thu, March 10, 2011 2:44:09 PM Subject: My Son's Test Results  My son had dr g's blood panel done and everything came back normal except he is low in vitamin d. How can this be, he is very sick? Why does dr g run these tests when it was always my understanding that tests are not accurate? I expected the viruses to possibly be hidden? Can anyone help me understand this? Thank you! jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
