Re: - Nicola. summer chelation

I have had his thyroid and adrenals tested. His TSH was 1.65, but

the palms of his hands and soles of his feet were dark orange. This

has now gone with Armour treatment.

His cortisol was low in the range, (not that serum cortisol means

that much) and his aldosterone was below range, and many of his

symptoms are adrenal (skinny, dark rings under his eyes, poor

immunity) so I have no doubt his adrenals are weak. My endo is of

the view that treating with Armour alone will help stimulate the

adrenals, but this only works in children. We are now waiting and

seeing to see what effect this has.

I will avoid the steroids for now - if I absolutely have to I will

put him on glandular support, but I'd rather chelate and heal him

properly.

what I would do to support them, depending on how bad they are.
