OT: issues with blood sugar, thyroid

[Guest guest]

My 12 year old Nt kid who is on Andy's protocol, is having some

issues. She has done 14 rounds with dmsa/ala with relatively few

problems. But in the past year she has gained 33 pounds! On our

natural diet?? Her energy level is low, she seems to present with

many hypothyroid symptoms. She is on supplements, adrenal cortex

which she can't do without, because she gets really nasty.

In the past few months her blood sugar has become a problem. She is

getting sick and has to eat every two hours or so. Depsite taking

chromium every meal and before bed.

Cleary something is metabolically wrong. I see symptoms of

hypothyroid and hypoglycemia. We are going into the ped, which I

dread...probably get some blood work.

I am tempted to stop the adrenal and other stuff, but I know how

nasty she gets without it. It seems weird that her blood sugar has

gotten worse even in the just the past two weeks. Now she is waking

up sick at 4 am with hypoglycemic issues and has to eat something.I

will list her supps below. I welcome any suggestions, any

ideas..anyting we could try! She is afraid of having to use insulin.

Should we stop supps for a few days? Add more?
