Re: When to get tests done?

[Guest guest]

Probably after to get an accurate reflection of what your body is

doing right then. Since that is going to be the final exposure. You'll

know what your endocrine systems is doing and how to help it before

you begin chelation.

Hi Sunshine,

I would definitely do it before. The dental removal often throws your body

in huge stress, and if you can get some adrenal and thyroid support sooner

it will help you A LOT and make chelation MUCH EASIER from the onset.

I have made the mistake of not treating adrenals and thyroid properly from

the start. Please don't do it too :-)

You can always do another test later.

With the hair test, expect mercury to rise after removals.

Sunshine: Great, thanks all. Sorry late reply but needed a holiday

before last amalgam out tomorrow. Just try to forget it all, no

newspapers, no TV, no health books, just me, myself and my family.

Got all my adrenal tests, thyroid tests, testosterone, reverse T3,

blood, saliva etc done today, ahead of tomorrows final removal which

will no doubt challenge my health yet again.

I have been taking my temp 3 times a day too & plotting the average

on a graph, so I need to find out why it looks like one of those

earthquake alert graph thingys. Very jagged and low.

How do I go about finding out what the results mean?

I have zero faith in normal doctors, so that is not an option, at

least until I have a much better understanding of these things.

Can anyone recommend some decent books? I have read one, but it

recommended synthetic drugs which is not something I am willing to

take. Natural remedies only.

Can anyone recommend a good forum to post test results that could

help?

You can check out the www.drrind.com website for interpretation of

temp graphs. Saliva and blood testing is more informative.

Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome by

Safe Uses of Cortisol by Jefferies, MD

From Fatigued to Fantastic by Teitelbaum, MD

(just a short section on adrenals and thyroid, but the whole book

is relevant to many of our problems)

I felt the same way about natural vs. synthetic for a long time.

It really isn't a rational view, and I knew it but still had trouble

kicking it. So I have tried some of everything - herbal, glandular,

nutritional, and finally hormones. Acupuncture also helped me for

a long time.

I would say explore the options and try something. If acupuncture

or herbal and nutritional approaches help you, that's great. They

don't work for everyone, but you can try and see.

I like the hormone information here:

The archives has a lot of valuable information - search for Pat's

posts on any topic of interest.

Sunshine: perfect, thanks.

Sunshine: yeah, i am having trouble kicking it too. too much bad

advice, for too long, which caused too much needless pain, has left me

with too much mistrust. hence the requests for book recommendations.
