[Guest guest]

As syas, i think with low sodium and potassium you have

adrenal issues.

try www.stopthethyroidmadness.com for some help.

Also these suppliments are good for lowering hiostamine.

Calcium, methionine, magnesium, zinc, TMG, omega-3 oils, B6, SAMe,

inositol, A, C and E

Check this website out as well.
