Lab results (LOTS of)

[Guest guest]

I told a while ago how I went to see Drs. de Bernedo and Lhermitte at

Dr. Thierry Hertoghe's clinic in Brussels, Belgium. Yesterday I got my

lab results and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring them out. They're

in French, which is a " nice twist " , but since most medical terms are

pretty close to those in English I'm hoping you guys would be able to

tell me what these labs are and what they mean in a medical sense.

Here's some examples that I'm most interested in; sorry for the

lmile-long list, there were apparently lots of tests... After the name

of the test there's a +/- -sign if the result is below or above

average. Then comes the result, and after that the range.

What are these groups? What do they mean? What are the different

cortisols? Some are high and some are low. I gathered as much that I

probably need DHEA, testosterone and melatonin, but that's all I can

understand. ANY info would be greatly appreciated.
