adrenal/thyroid testing before chelation

February 13, 2007

Hi, all. I got 3 out of 5 fillings removed last Thursday, and I can already tell

a big difference in the way I feel! My thinking is different and my mood is

uplifted. I do feel like I am coming down with something, since yesterday. Maybe

the removal stressed my system enough to lower my resistance.

Anyway, I get the other 2 removed a week from today. I have had my adrenals

tested in the past (low cortisol, high DHEA), and I am on adrenal support. I

haven't had my thyroid tested though, and I am wondering how important it is to

have that done before I start chelating. I do have cold feet most of the time

and dry skin and other symptoms of low thyroid; however I believe my low

adrenals are primary.

Also, I am not sure if I am doing enough for adrenal support. My ND says

glandulars and HC have pluses and minuses. I haven't discussed these with her

yet, but plan to do so when I see her in March. I am taking tyrosine in the

morning and afternoon, rhodiola, and I recently added licorice root in the a.m.

(my blood pressure is always very low, but I will monitor it while I am on the

licorice). Of course I am taking lots of vitamin C. I might start taking 500 mg

pantothenic acid in the a.m. for the adrenals. I just haven't decided if I am

going to spend 4 X the regular price to get the co-enzyme form, or if I will

assume I am converting. Does this sound like enough, even though I am not doing

glandulars or HC?

Thanks,

Olif
