Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 You don't have to go off Armour, swallow it the day you collect saliva instead of taking it SL. It's HC and adrenal supplements that you need to be off of for saliva testing. >>>i'm going to order a saliva test kit next week - how look should i go off of my armour (if i have to at all) to get the best results? i am also going to have my adernal levels tested - thanks for all the advice - stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 How long should you refrain from taking Isocort or any HC prior to testing. My mom is weaning off HC and would liek to test to see how she is doing. > > You don't have to go off Armour, swallow it the day you collect saliva instead of taking it SL. > It's HC and adrenal supplements that you need to be off of for saliva testing. > > > > >>>i'm going to order a saliva test kit next week - how look should i go off of my armour (if i have to at all) to get the best results? i am also going to have my adernal levels tested - thanks for all the > advice - stacy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If she begins to show signs of still needing the adrenal support, should she refrain from doing the saliva testing for a few more weeks prior to doing the saliva tests? Also, her doctor mentioned doing a morning blood cortisol test instead. Would this bee a good interum thing for her to do? Or should she also be off the meds before getting blood work done as well?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 For me I woud not push my body off HC for testing if I started having symptoms. I o not feel blood cortios is accurate either while on HC as if you do ti as the doctors suggest bvefore oyu r AM dose, you wil lalways be low so what does that tell you? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
