Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 , Thanks for letting us know that you have too much calcium in your body and had to give up the Calcium D-Glucarate. I will have my levels checked in a few months but wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I've learned a lot from you. ar -- Arlyn Grant arlynsg@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Arlyn: Yes, too much calcium in the body can feed cancer I have read. The doc was looking for mets to the liver or bone, which would have indicated higher calcium levels. But when she did the alkalizing phosphate test nothing showed up to indicate this. Thanks for your encouraging thoughts, Arlyn. I feel a great responsibility to those on this website as so many of you have reached out to me and helped me immeasurably. We are all in this together. Even though some of the alternative treatments turn out bad, I do not think that alternative docs are inherantly bad. Most of them mean well, but just need to study and research more.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 , If you can tell me how to save money by not needing to purchase calcium D-Glucarate, I'd love to hear it! When I skip a few doses, I notice it. So, I know the Calcium D-Glucarate is doing its thing as far as estrogen related items go. ar On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:11:22 -0800, " VGammill " <vgammill@...> said: > Differentiation agents cause cancer cells to normalize to the > point that they will eventually die.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks Barb! For now, this is what I will do: TRT - 10% compounded cream - 0.45 ml twice a day (before I was at 0.4 ml twice a day; tried 0.5 ml x 2 and went into roid-rage within 2 to 3 days; with going from 0.4 to 0.45 went from T=450-500 to T=1,300 to 1,400 (end of the limit). DIM - one 75 mg caps a day (at dinner)- just started taking this. I will adjust it as needed. Zinc - one 50 mg tabs a day (at lunch) Calcium d-Glucarate - one 500 mg tabs a day (at bkfst) - just started taking this too. In addition, daily I take my multi-vitamin/mineral (with 2 mgs Copper), plus additional 250 mg vit c (chewies), 400 IU vit. E & 160 mg of Saw Palmetto - at breakfast. This is complemented with a protein shake. Also, 1 Prilosec (cannot go on without it!!). Twice a week (Sundays & Wednesdays), I add 25,000 IU vit A (beta-carotene) - at bkfst Once a week (Sundays), I add selenium (I think it is somewhere around 300 mg) - at bkfst. Thanks to you and Phil!! Best regards, Flaco > > >is your hubby on DIM? > > Yes, 100 mg DIM from Source Naturals twice a day, so 200 mg daily > > > he also on TRT?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have not been on DIM for some yrs I do know one needs to be sure they have good DIM there is a lot of junk sold out there Indolplex/DIM dose not get killed in the stomach. The new BioResponse's brain is said to be good but I never tried it looks OK the take about better absorption. Take the DIM at dinner time with food if your going to use TMG with it take the TMG at bedtime.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Barb, Yes you may! Prilosec - severe acid reflux problem. I started with antacids, then Pepcid AC and now Prilosec (all under gastroenterologist supervision). I suffered from EBS and now it is much better due to reduced stress, better eating habits and (in my opinion) better hormonal balance. Prilosec I still need on a daily basis unfortunately. Saw palmetto I take it for prostate health. I just now read an article about the possible interference of this herb with the PSA test. I did not know that. I think I will stop taking it some months before my next test. So far all my PSA tests and tactile exams have been great. Should I be concerned about these two supplements/OTC? > > > > > > >is your hubby on DIM? > > > > > > Yes, 100 mg DIM from Source Naturals twice a day, so 200 mg daily > > > > > > > he also on TRT?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Acid reflux is often caused by low thyroid so I would want yours checked out. Saw palmetto in some men enhances estrogen production, by limiting the DHT pathway. > > > > > > > > >is your hubby on DIM? > > > > > > > > Yes, 100 mg DIM from Source Naturals twice a day, so 200 mg daily > > > > > > > > > he also on TRT?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I get tested for thyroid every year. I was hyperthyroidic for years. Took Tapazole to control it. I am off it for over 10 years now. So far so good. If I were low in thyroid function I should be gaining weight, correct? Well, that is not my case. Through I have gained some weight lately but nothing to be alarmed. One time I gained lots of weight but it was due to Remeron (depression; I was later diagnosed with low T and put on Androgel). After all we discussed here + what I read, I think Saw palmetto is history. Thanks!

Not necessarily, when I was at my lowest dose of thyroid (1/2 grain), I was ultra-thin and gaunt. Now at 2 grains I weigh 15 lbs more (but look healthier)! That's because in some, when thyroid is low, cortisol goes low too, so adrenaline is secreted to compensate. So some hypos get fat, others get thin. Same with cholesterol, high or low can be hypo, pulse too because of adrenaline. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 So Barb, which tests should I ask my doctor to perform?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 NO Endos are the WORST! You want Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, TSH, you can add total T3 and total T4 since I assume you had Graves'. All the other stuff on a thyroid panel like uptake is just garbage and doesn't tell you anything. Might as well do a morning cortisol and ferritin and iron panel too if that hasn't been done, along with your CBC. > > > > > > I get tested for thyroid every year. I was hyperthyroidic for years.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 From the Mayo Clinic these are the symptoms to watch for: ¡An enlarged thyroid ¡Protruding eyes ¡Anxiety ¡Intolerance to heat ¡Tremor ¡Weight loss Only Protruding eyes (family trait), anxiety (I am chlaustrophobic(sp?) and I have developed intolerance to heat (funny considering I come from the Caribean!!). None of the other symptoms are with me. I will talk to my GP about this possibility and see if she will go along with the extra tests. Thanks! > > > > > > > > I get tested for thyroid every year.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 The protruding eyes are caused by the TSI antibody for Graves'. You would test TSI with TBII (aka TRab).

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 If you were hypothyroid, low cortisol and ferritin could be why. The CBC is just cause everyone's been talking about thick blood lately, and that would rule it in or out for you. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I get tested for thyroid every year.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Here is a good link about it if your blood labs are low for a morning fasting Cortisol test below 12 do a 4x's in a day Saliva test to see how your rhythm looks it should be high in the morning and lower by bedtime. Also if you cortisol levels are low your thyroid will not work right. You need Cortisol to carry the Thyroid hormones out of your blood into your cells.
