If not, you can get it tested without a doctor through ZRT labs, and you could test just your testosterone, if you wanted to. They also have symptoms checklists at their website, so you might want to check that out, if you haven't already. www.zrtlab.com Also, Dr. Lee did right a small book about " Hormone Balance for Men " , but it deals mostly with how this affects the prostate, but at least it is focused on men. www.johnleemd.com More below-------Jackie > > I have pretty much been consistently worse on and off round since > > starting ala. ----------Did you feel somewhat better on DMSA alone?

No pattern, such as worse 2 days after. ----------Maybe you are extremely sensitive and possibly also have a mercury allergy, like Sherratt does? He has found he has to chelate very slowly. And have you ever done something like food allergy testing? There may be other things contributing to your fatigue.--------Jackie > > > Consider adrenal issues.

Many people find that their adrenals get worse after they have chelated for awhile. It may be worth looking into again. And testing all your hormones might be a good idea, if you haven't done that recently. You're not going to feel good if these are out of balance. You can order test kits yourself through the Canary Club. www.canaryclub.org -----------Jackie > > J > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered that you may have high cortisol? It turned out that was my problem which explained alot. Also, you might want to try some pregnenolone. Its about $8 a bottle and its a precursor to all the hormones. Start out low (5mg or so) and build up. Good luck, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
