Re: Updated bloodwork /Saisha

[Guest guest]

Is the endocrinologist you saw a holistic one?Like brownstein is very

good.I don`t know how to read the results.Many people I know use armour natural

thyroid,and take stuff to support the adrenals.Most endos don`t even treat the

adrenals,unless they are holistic ones.
