This sounds like you developed cavitations where your wisdoms were removed.

This would introduce a permanent infection into your body without you knowing -

no puss, no pain.

Have you addressed these?

I consider cavitations and root canals to be more toxic than mercury. The

anaerobic bacteria in the cavitations and root canals produce a constant flow of

poisons into your body weakening your immune system and liver (which may account

for such severe food allergies). Also I've seen evidence than when the mercury

combines with the bacterial toxins seriously dangerous compounds are created. No

if there is something more dangerous than mercury....

Cavitations and root canals must be cleaned and removed PROPERLY - otherwise

there is no point in doing it!

Your hair test shows normal mineral transport with both adrenal and thyroid

ratio's out of range. You should get your saliva tests done - check for some

examples here Hair test 9 and 35 have had saliva tests:

http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html

Otherwise it looks like a good hair test, meaning your issues may not be because

of mercury.

However, the mercury is VERY low however and you might not be susceptible to

deranged mineral transport and be pulling all the mercury into your cells/brain.

You might not be able to excrete mercury with great gusto, or it is being heal

insider your cells.

(I wonder if you'll have to start very low with ALA?)

Trial chelation is definitely warranted. Look at this article about the All-four

highs: http://www.arltma.com/AllFourHighsNews.htm

The high zinc means you are actually low - or contaminated your hair with the

shampoo you mentioned.

I strongly agree with this point and I'm certain will have something to

say too?

Also, hungry every 2 hours is another adrenal symptom.

Have a look at the restoration plan given for the adrenals from the Saliva tests

I pointed you too.

Lots of B-vitamins and cortisol/cortef recommended.

Any is clear on giving adrenal support, he says it is the most under-treated

aspect.

I can't see the value in you waiting to starting adrenal and thyroid support.

I mean what is he/she waiting for? Has any testing being done?

All your symptoms scream for adrenal and especially thyroid support.

Always treat your adrenals first and you thyroid should strengthen somewhat

anyway.

I never knew anything about these two glands before this group, but I can now

tell you that the suggestion to treat them first is critical.

>>for life and she can treat me without them.

This just isn't true, if they are used sensibly & appropriately. The

adrenals can heal & one can wean slowly off of them.

You may want to get Jeffries " Safe Uses of Cortisol " to read about

treating the adrenals. It discusses hydrocortisone, not glandulars,

but the principals are similar. The least expensive source is the

publisher for $43.95. Some libraries, especially universities, carry

it:

http://www.ccthomas.com/details.cfm?P_ISBN13=9780398075002

If you are comfortable with it, there is certainly nothing wrong with

trying the more conservative approach of treating the adrenals with

rest & supplementation to give them a chance to recover. You don't

have to worry about shutting down some adrenal function & then

restarting it later. Sea salt, vitamin C, ashwagandha & licorice are

all helpful to the adrenals. But if your adrenal fatigue is

significant & you're getting nowhere & feeling lousy, glandulars have

their place too.

I have been using the above, plus Isocort, since October. Before it,

I felt like I had been run over by a truck. Achy, tired, couldn't

sleep, woke repeatedly during the night, couldn't fall back asleep,

BP would drop significantly upon standing, would get the shakes,

could not handle anything stressful, would overreact or get

exhausted, etc. When I started Isocort, I felt like a new person. It

was wonderful to sleep gain. The aches went away.

I tried weaning off Isocort in December & felt really crappy so I

went back on it.

I happened to be getting low on my supply a week ago. I started

tapering down the pills I had left to make them last till the

delivery came. It hasn't come yet. I've been off Isocort for 3 days

now & feel great. Even better than when I was on it. If this keeps

up, I think I just weaned myself off of it Normally, I would

recommend tapering off more slowly, but this was rather unintended.

Just adding that my experience was exactly the same, except I was

having panic attacks and lots of anxiety if I left the house. That all

went away too. Cortef and Isocort work equally well for me.

How great! Do you think it was just a matter of giving your adrenals

enough support/rest that got you to that point?

I don't think Andy would call this an adrenal ratio. Andy's

adrenal sign is Ca/Mg in one direction and near each other and

Na/K in the other direction and near each other.

Andy says Na/Mg ratio indicates adrenaline production, which is

made by the adrenal medulla, but as far as I know Andy does not talk

about this having anything to do with cortisol.

Drs /Eck do call Na/Mg the adrenal ratio.

I personally wonder if it might have something to do with overall

adrenal function, and I tend to look at it somewhat that way, but

I don't think Andy talks about it that way in HTI. I'm not sure

what he thinks about this, but based on the book, it doesn't look

like he thinks it is related to cortisol production.

Just being picky. Hope you don't mind, Dean.

> Yes, that is what this list if for. Thanks for the clarification.

It is Dr and Eck call it the Adrenal Ratio. They are much more specific

and want the ratio's to be optimal, and not just within range (with all their

ratio's). I think this is wonderful for achieving optimal health, but does not

take into account deranged mineral transport. They say;

" The Sodium/Magnesium ratio. Sodium and magnesium tend to be antagonistic. As

one goes up the other goes down. The ratio of these two minerals often gives a

better picture of adrenal activity than the sodium level alone. Called the

Adrenal Ratio, we use an ideal ration of 4.17:1 for sodium/magnesium. DR WILSON

Dr says Sodium levels correlate roughly with aldosterone levels (Dr

)

Dr says Potassium levels correlate roughly with cortisol levels.

I think Andy's adrenal sign picks up obvious and extreme Adrenal issue. Maybe

the ratio helps clarify things a bit. I mean I know several people with adrenal

issues that was picked up by the adrenal ratio, but did not have the

presentation on hair test with Ca and Mg two inches away from K and Na. The

ratio alerted us to problems there.

An example is Hair test 35 - an all low presentation with a Na/Mg ratio of 0.48.

On saliva test she is Stage 7 Adrenal fatigue. While Hair test 34 has an obvious

'adrenal sign' according to Andy and also adrenal issues on Saliva testing

Yes, that seems like it. I'm still holding my breath though Maybe

the fact that I've started Westhroid now too helps, since my body's

getting what it needs. When I tried weaning off when I wasn't on it, I

felt lousy. I've also gotten my thyroid dose up enough that it's

feeling like it's doing some good.

Of course, now my Isocort has come & I have 3 bottles kicking around

that I might not need to use. 's Law
