Re: Hair Test Results...I have a dramatic positive response to Ca

No, I would very much like to. How do I go about that please!?

Thank you so much for your reply. This quote from livingnetwork seems

very pertinent:

" If the adrenals are weak, replacing thyroid hormone first would

most likely make a person feel much worse and may stir up

'hyperthyroid' symptoms. If the adrenals are seriously not working

properly, replacing thyroid hormone first will speed up the metabolism

and can initiate an adrenal crisis. "

Seems I do something that helps me (and helps sleep) I end up further

depleting my adrenals. Supplementing calcium I think is helping the

thyroid which is hurting the adrenals. I feel almost normal then by

the end of the day wiped out.

Andy says in the Hair Book

" If there is evidence of substantial calcium wasting (..a dramatic

positive response to supplementation...) "

He also mentions that high hair Ca can indicate wasting.

Well I have a dramatic positive response to Ca.

After my reading I believe I have hypothyroid symptoms. I've been

suffering with (CFS) this for 5 years and only recently believe I know

enough to get substantial symptom relief.

I've had Chronic Fatigue twice. The first time about a year after

getting 4 amalgams. This time about 2 years from the start of major

dental work including root canal x2, crown and unsafe removal of at

least 4 amalgams.
