No. The concentration units are nanomolar (10^-9 moles per liter). These

cannot be (meaningfully) negative, but they can be a lot lower than

yours. If you drink a lot of caffeine most days and then stop for the

day of the test, that can suppress adrenals all by itself.

Fix the RT3 and then see if the adrenal type issues continue. Keep in

mind, the HPA axis is a complex network of feedback loops that can

interfere with each other. When " one ain't happy, they all ain't happy. "

Absorption is one issue, but look at the overlap between symptoms:

Weight loss or weight gain

Head aches

Exhaustion

Aching joints

Depression

Irritability and behavioural changes

Nutritional deficiencies due to malabsorbtion e.g. low iron levels

Gastro-intestinal problems (bloating, pain, gas, constipation, diarrhea)

Fat in the stools (due to poor digestion)

Eczema

Infertility, irregular menstrual cycle and miscarriage

Cramps, tingling and numbness

Slow infant and child growth

Decline in dental health

Undiagnosed for long periods of time, food intolerances have been found to

contribute to diabetes, bowel cancer, anemia and osteoporosis.

yeah.

come on over to my group home to see the horrors of allopathic medicine/big

pharma in action. I am quite sure this time will be viewed as the middle ages

of medicine. treating every symptoms with a differnet drug--never treating the

cause.

All obvious signs of improperly treated hypothyroidism. She needs

adrenal treatment and megadoses of iodine...

My goodness Gracia, you take ghazillions of kinds of meds to maintain your

health, either self prescribing or from an alternative doc. What on earth

makes your alternative approach any different from the allopathic? Is your

approach better because you don't buy your myriad of drugs from " big pharma "

but from somewhere else? What are you and your doc doing to " treat the

cause " by taking so many meds? This 'bigpharma/allopathic medicine " line

doesn't hold water.

I've heard this argument from others too and wonder what it is they think we

can do in terms of " treatment " ? Certainly if we don 't treat, people will

die earlier and be sick longer. That's a fact. If we have a bad heart, we

HAVE to medicate it - we surely can't live WITHOUT it..or borrow one til

ours is better....etc.etc.. If we have a failing/sick thyroid, or adrenal

glands or liver or whatever - the same thing applies. WHATEVER the method

of treatment - it all boils down to the same things - prescriptions to

prolong life in a more comfortable manner.
