Re: Low energy/Anemia/adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

Hi ..

Your inquiry requires a multi-faceted approach.. This diet will totally help you

and loading up on probiotic rich foods/supplements will do a worlds difference

for you.

Adrenal issues is something you should look into this group;

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/

It's beyond active. Val and Patty do an incredible job trying to help people.

Have you had Thyroid and Hormones tested as well?

Where do you live? Have you searched ACAM.org for an integrative doc?

So sorry you had the experience you did! It is way unethical what the doc did

to you.

I have had my TSH tested and it is always within normal range but very low, I

want to say 0.8 on average. No doctor (including my endocrinologist) has ever

really been that concerned, but i am bothered by how many factors that are

contributing to my low energy.

I have tried to search for other integrative/holistic doctors and the problems

is that none take my insurance and i have spent so much time and money shopping

for new doctors that will help. every doctor seems to dx me with another issue,

none are saying the same thing, and nothing is working. Grrr...i'm very burnt

out on the whole thing.

I currently live in Los Angeles but am moving to Raleigh in August. If anyone

has good doctor recommendations, I'd love to hear!

Hi ... I know that I was very low energy for the first few months on scd

....what has helped me is: calves liver barely cooked 3 times per week, a

b12/bcomplex shot in the butt 2 times a month (ouch!! but works!) & bone broths

all day long. for the adrenal fatigue ( I've been dx'd with that too ): I take a

professional grade adrenal extract supplement ( legal I think because it's 100%

raw adrenal extract--nothing else, mine is from AOR ) also very important to eat

before 10 a.m., & reduce caffeine, meditation helps too, as does an infrared

sauna & stress reduction ( lol, I try not to get stressed about the $68/month

i'll be paying for 10 years for the sauna lol!) I take a b-complex capsule 2

times daily also ...hth! gisele

Hi ...me again ..have you heard of " 's Temperature syndrome " ? It is a

thyroid issue that can't be dx'd from the standard tests ( as it concerns issues

re: converting t4 into t3) the good news is you do the test for it yourself

....you get a good quality thermometer ( prefer liquid metal, but a brand

new/never been dropped digital is o.k.) you take your temperature three times

daily ( 3 hours after waking, then 6 hours, then 9 hours) for 3 days ( or what I

did--since I can't always take my temp 3 x day... I took it at those time slots

for 2 weeks then averaged them ) if your average is below 98.2 ( mine was 96.8

when i started it! ) then you get compounded slow release t3...the manual on how

to take it ( & symptoms associated with the syndrome ) are on the wilson's

syndromes website as are a list of pharmacies you can order it from ...I've been

on it 4.5 months now & finally my temp average is up to 98 ...I haven't

" captured " my temp yet ( that's what they call it when eventually your body

remembers that is the correct temp to be at & it stays there without the

medicine ...which is good--it means you don't have to take the med for life,

eventually your " cured " ) it has reduced my food reactivity ( to even legal

foods ) alot & improved my energy & focus alot & that " home testing " was a $

bonus!! hth, gisele

wow, i hadn't heard of that...thanks for sharing. i will look into it but i have

to admit, i am super-overwhelmed right now! just trying to determine what is

going on with my body and which foods are best for it.

are people on this list working full-time? or on disability? i left my job last

year after my diabetes dx because it was a clear sign that my body was screaming

at me to change things. i had a 50% travel job at a very demanding organization

which totally wore me out. i took CA short-term disabilty for a year, which is

now done and i can't even think about managing a full-time job and my health.

what are other people doing when their disease/issues are so active?

I'm 31, and can't believe how much this has consumed my life. my friends are

getting pregnant and having healthy babies and i am spending well over $10K a

year trying to get my body in decent shape...

I googled " Holler for Your Health " by Theresa Holler who is a physician's

assistant. I think in NC she would have to have a physician sponsor her in a

practice. It will be interesting to see her set up, since whoever sponsors her

would have to agree with her practice ideals. Please let us all know where she

sets up.

Hi Debbie and Ann,

The function of the group is really to post your individual testing results and

get " advice " (they aren't docs) So many people chime in, have issues and need

to tinker with their meds where their doc isn't helpful. Like with Thyroid,

Adrenal and Hormonal issues even integrative docs are way off the mark.

It is unbelievable what a huge subject it is.

I have very low hormone levels, Hypothyroid and have Adrenal insufficiency.

There are so many ins and outs to the subject- the fact I can get advice is so

helpful.

Don't worry about following the threads on that group. I use it as " web only "

and check out threads here and there.

It is super useful.
