Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi, Sorry I have been on no mail for awhile. After taking Armour Thyroid I was only getting worst as the months went by. I just found out Thursday that I have Adrenal Fatigue for sure. Dr. Sprecher uses Great Smokies Diagnostic Labs. The Saliva Kit that she sent me home with was in a nice box with ice pack for returning. I was very impressed with the quality of the kit, unlike the one from the other lab that I ordered for myself. Anyway, I just wanted to share some of the things that she is treating me with, as she is into FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE. I also received a very nice color chart that really shows where I am and where I should be. WOW, it is amazing that I can even get out of bed!! I am just so THRILLED to finally know what in the world is wrong with me. She also raised my Armour Thyroid back up to 90mg, as my family Dr. had lowered it to 60mg according to TSH test only!! Dr. Sprecher DOES NOT go by TSH only!!! My results: 7AM 0.40 11AM 0.10 3PM 0.05 10PM 0.04 " EXHILARIN " Metagenics stress defense formula, vegetarian herbal supplement (1-2) pills twice a day PANTOTHENIC ACID 500mg in AM & 500mg Noontime B-COMPLEX twice a day VITAMIN C (full spectrum bioflavonoids) * not to be pure ascorbic acid She has me on Metagenics ultra potent-C 1000 with metabolite support system (2000 mg) per/day So, that is 1 pill of 1000 twice a day FISH OIL 1 Tablespoon of Nordics Natural, Arctic Cod Liver oil MULTI- VITAMIN I use Nature's Plus from Mother Earth. Ultra Source of Life made with whole foods (vegetarian) It is VERY important to get high quality vitamins that are natural from food sources!!! You can't get these are K-mart, etc. I am also in early stage of Insulin Resistant. So she has me on supplements for this also. www.metagenics.com I did want to share this with everyone that has to self medicate for Adrenal Fatigue. Just knowing that I finally know what is wrong with me for sure is making me feel better, mentally, along with finally finding a good Dr. :-)) I am also on estradiol patch and progesterone. Just wanted to share, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 My Dr. told me to not pay that much attention to the number rages, didn't ask why. She wanted me to look at the color chart. That really showed that I am MUCH lower then normal. I should of asked, but I was so EXCITED to know that I really do have a problem and can be fixed!! LOL From looking at the chart the higher end of numbers is normal. If you are close to the bottom numbers, you are in trouble! Here are the ranges: 7-9 AM 0.27 - 2.06 the 2.06 is normal rage 11AM - 1PM 0.03 - 0.77 3PM - 5PM 0.03 - 0.56 10PM - 12AM 0.03 - 0.50 again here are mine: 0.40 0.10 0.05 0.04 She said that I never get out of the basement! I'm barely on the chart! I still can't believe that I can even get up in the mornings after looking at this chart. She also let me know what Vitamins that I didn't have to buy from her and what ones, (mainly herbs) that I did have to buy from her. the herbs that I am on are 1000 times stronger then what I could get myself, according to her. Anyway, her prices were not much different from what I pay at Mother Earth. They are very high priced! She also gave me many samples of the Estradiol patch to help me out. I can call her for samples later on too, when I am out. So, she is trying to make it easier for me since I have no insurance at all. She is also working with a lab for blood work to get the prices down for her patience. I'm very happy with this Dr for the first time in my life!!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 She sounds great! BUT.......do not ever think you HAVE to buy from her, especially if prices are high. She is making a profit, so she will want you to buy from her. There CAN be the same products out there for less. Check GOOGLE. Check Ebay. Stick with her, but be savvy about the possibility that you CAN get the same thing elsewhere, and potentially for LESS.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 To be honest, I was to exhausted to even go " shopping " . Besides, I wanted to started on them as soon as possible, so I was more then happy that she had everything that I needed there. Now later, it might be a different story. Thanks for the tip though!! :-)) Kathy Re: Adrenal Fatigue > > > > > My results: 7AM 0.40 11AM 0.10 3PM 0.05 10PM 0.04 > > Kathy, would you include the ranges for the above? > > Sounds like you've got a great doc.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 What would be wrong with buying the vitamins from her doctor? In the early 80's I had surgery and got an infection that was doing me in. They gave me some kind of antibiotic that didn't kill it, and it was all inside getting worse each day. The surgery was in October, and finally in February of the next year I told my husband that I didn't care what he thought, I was going to the Chiropractor for vitamin and mineral testing. I was afraid of ending up in a mental hospital if I didn't get the situation under control. I had to take 150 mg of zinc per day. Probably in three dosages throughout the day. Zinc I purchased from the local health food store, but there were two other supplements that I needed and these the Chiro sold to me. One was RNA/DNA supplement, which is a R. .. and a D . . . something Nucleic Acid, if I remember correctly. My symptoms . . . I couldn't carry on a conversation because I would be talking and all of a sudden stop and couldn't remember what I was saying without being prompted. After starting the therapy on the second day my ability to carry on a conversation had returned. Personally I do not believe there is anything wrong with buying supplements from a health practitioner if they work and the practitioner can stay in business because they are making a little extra on the supplements who cares. Profit is not necessarily a dirty word. The best money I ever spent was when I went to the Iridologist and she told me what I needed to take and sold me what I needed to take. Which was a considerable amount, but I got results. I am not saying that you shouldn't use some common sense, but if you buy and take as prescribed and it doesn't work, well just don't go back to that person.
