Hormone issues - need advise

April 14, 2007

Hi to Andy and all. Need some help on interpreting results.

Hair test from DDI (done in February)is showing Na/Mg ratio at 0.29

suggesting low adrenaline, K/Ca 0.03 (thyroid at lower end), Na/K 0.84.

Saliva test (done in March) 4x a day shows (to my surprise) normal

cortisol, low testosterone (4pm and midnight bellow ref. range)and

dhea-s towards lower end.

Blood test (done this week)shows ACTH 15.3 pg/mL(ref. 9-46)before

exercise and only 16.7 20min. after. Might add that it was difficult

to perform exercise so I was partly jogging partly walking. Reason

might be that my BP did not rise during exercise(as it should) when

checked immediately after (is this adrenal issue?)

Other blood test results: adrenaline 53 ref.<100 cortisol 267 ref.171-

530, HGH <0.05 ref.0.06-5, FSH 4.49mlU/ml ref.1.5-12.4, LH 3.61mlU/ml

ref.1.7-8.6, Prolactin 32.46 ref. 86-324, Testosterone 9.98 ref. 9.9-

27.8,DHEA-S 87.4 ref.80-500 FT3 2.98 ref.2.80-6.45 FT4 19.9 ref.10-24.4

My hair test is also showing lead intoxication, maybe mercury. I've

been chelating since beginning of this year with DMSA, recently added

ALA. It's been difficult both on and off especially last month

(maybe " dump " has started).

Should I be treating my adrenals and with what? HC? I have hypo

symptoms. What hormones should I supplement? I think I should feel

much better with these.

I am going to see endocrinologist next week so I would be grateful for

your insights.

Zoran
