my saliva test results

[Guest guest]

Well, gang, my saliva test results are in I'm glad 'cause I feel one step

closer to starting chelation! I was told to list the basics, so hopefully I'll

do it right

Here they are:

IN range OUT of range RANGE

Estradiol------------------1.7---------------------------------1.3--3.3

Premenopausal

Progesterone--------------------------------8L--------------75--270

Premenopausal

Ratio: Pg/E2---------------------------------5L-------------Optimal: 100-500

when E2 1.3-3.3

Testosterone-------------17---------------------------------16--55 (Age

Dependent) (16--47)

DHEAS--------------------2.0---------------------------------2--23 (Age

Dependent) (2.7--8)

Cortisol MORNING----4.1---------------------------------3.7--9.5

Cortisol NOON----------1.9---------------------------------1.2--3.0

Cortisol EVE-------------0.8---------------------------------0.6--1.9

Cortison NIGHT---------0.7---------------------------------0.4--1.0

**** what I don't understand, now that I'm looking at the chart, is why they

chose the ranges for Testosterone and DHEAS differently than what the chart

says. According to the chart, for my age range (I'm 50 and premenopausal) it

says:

Testosterone - Ages > 30 the range is 16--47 (in red above)

DHEAS--------- Ages 46--60 the range is 2.7-8 "

****I've been taking 60mg. Armour Thyroid for probably 10 years now, but not

only briefly addressed the cortisol issue in a small way years ago (I didn't

know that's what the Cortef was for back then, but for some reason, it wasn't

continued).

If anyone has opinions or suggestions, I'm open to hearing anything so I can

put all the pieces together and start addressing this stuff so I can get to

chelating soon Thanks in advance, you guys!
