Re: Can You Help With Labs?...Was:Getting Ready To Start....

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all your responses. I don't think I can put it off longer

than 5 months, hubby is anxious as am I, and our daughter will be 3

soon and we really don't want that big of an age gap. But I plan on

doing the best I can before we get pregnant. I feel I am so much

better than before last pregnancy, but of course I'm no where near

where most of you are. I'm very excited to get started

I was wondering if perhaps you might look at my recent labs? I know

there are some very wise people here and would love some insight.

I found a Integrative MD that is contracted with my insurance and was

very hopeful but now I'm not so sure. My labs came back and the

nurse called to say they were " normal " . I'm waiting for my CDSA

stool test results and will be doing a endocrine saliva test

(includes adrenals, other hormones, as well as some others like

GABA..here's a link in case anyone is interested

Here are even older Thyroid Labs........

OLD LABS....... The far numbers on the right with the **'s next

WESTCLIFF LABS

TSH 1.069 (Range 0.350-5.50) **-2

FT4 0.99 (Range 0.80-1.80) **-3

FT3 2.7 (Range 2.3-4.2) **-3

07/2007 (NO MEDS)

WESTCLIFF LABS

TSH 2.894 (03.50-5.50) **+3

FT3 2.4 (2.3-4.2) **-5

11/2007 (ON ADRENALS, IODORAL, MAYBE T3 MEDS BUT JUST STARTED IF SO)

QUEST LABS

TSH 2.18 (0.40-4.50) **+1

FT3 2.46 (2.30-4.20) **-5

03/2008 (ON ISOCORT, IODORAL AND T3, BUT STOPPED ADRENAL FOR 4 WEEKS

BEFORE TEST)

ZRT-BLOODSPOT

TSH 0.7 (0.5-3.0) **-4

FT4 1.0 (0.7-2.5) **-2

FT3 1.9 (2.5-6.5) **-7 TO -8

Please let me know what you think. I weaned off my T3 about 2 months

before this test, but before I was on 30mcg of T3. I forgot to make

sure she tested RT3, but it appears my thyroid is better since I

stopped the T3. I take 6 Isocort a day. I take a b-complex (not

always everyday), it's the Soloray B-50. I take CLO everyday,

alternating between Nordic Naturals and Fermented CLO by Green

Pastures with Butter Oil. Since my last test I started taking Vit. D

pills and it appears to have helped. I was on Candex/Candidase for 2

months before this test as well as Biotin, Probiotics, Magnesium, and

enzymes. I'm really concerned about my Ferritin. I have been on

MegaFood Blood Builder for quite some time and Floradix before that.

It seems like my anemia won't go away(had it for a long time).

I have older labs from 2006 that have lymphs and segs that show the

same as these.

I would really love some help. I feel a little lost here. I will

post my stool results when I get them (should be soon), and my saliva

test when I can take it (waiting for ISocort to be outta my system).

Thanks in advance!

Dear ,

I cannot deal with your extremely long detailed message. I also

cannot interpret laboratory tests anyway. My expertise is in proper

nutrition, eliminating toxins, and how the body heals itself

naturally.

If you wish I can do a consultation with you to help you more

specifically - see this consultation information, etc.:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/consult.php

Otherwise, would you please just post specific questions again?

Thanks so much.

Sorry my dear.

[Guest guest]

Sorry about the long post. I thought it might be better to get it

all out there in case there was something that stuck out to those who

know how to read labs. Unfortunatey, I'm not good at it.

My biggest question is why I'm still low in ferritin after

supplementing with foodbased/whole food supplements? I have been

battling anemia for quite some time, actually my pediatric file shows

it as well. I had a ND but she said some people are just anemic,

which I don't accept. I was hoping someone might have some insight.

Again, sorry about the long post.

*** Hi :

I'm sure Bee will have some thoughts to share with you about the Ferritin issue.

Personally, I found that I was having trouble absorbing and utilizing ALL

nutrition I was

putting in my body (food or supplements or even, in my case, thyroid

meds...which I used

to take.) until I began Bee's program.

As Bee explains in the getting started articles, Candida Yeast makes the cell

walls rigid

and the nutrition you ingest can't be fully utilized by your body because it

just doesn't get

through. So my first thought is that you are not able to fully absorb all your

nutrition

because the Yeast overgrowth is blocking it. The diet will correct the

overgrowth over

time and the listed supplements (you will not need or want to take any others)

will start to

" get in " more and more plus the HCl (or sauerkraut) can really help with

assimilating all

your food.

Hope that helps,

Marissa

Thanks for your response. I agree, I think my yeast is inhibiting

absorbtion. One thing I can't understand is why my Vit. D has gone

up with supplements but not my ferritin? And why my ferritin has

been an issue my whole life.

+++Hi . One member of this group had her iron levels increase

from 4 to 64 after only doing this program for 6 months, i.e. without

taking any iron supplements, nor by eating more liver, etc. That

tells me if you only do this program your body is able to adjust and

replace all of its nutrients.

You say you are supplementing with foodbased/whole food supplements,

but if they don't match the supplements I recommend, " whole food " or

not you won't be getting the same benefits.

Most iron supplements are not the correct form, which needs to

be " heme " iron which is only found in meats and eggs, and not in

plant foods (called " non-heme " iron). Also absorption and

utilization of iron in the body needs B12 which requires enough

stomach acid in order to be absorbed. Some people's iron levels

increase by taking Betaine HCl, and by ensuring they eat enough red

meat which is the highest source of " true " B12.

****My labs show high levels of B12 and Folate, could that be because

my body isn't absorbing them (lack of HCI)? I am waiting till my

stool tests come back before I consult with you over the phone so I

can start your program, which should be soon (hopefully today).

+++Hi . Yes, it is possible you aren't absorbing all of the

nutrients properly, yet. Nutrients levels may also go up and down

while you are on this program, until your body has had enough time to

balance them correctly. That's why is is so important to take " all " of

the supplements recommended, along with the diet - it all works

together.

There are many things that interfere with digestion, along with lack of

HCl, so ensure you are doing the things recommended for improving your

digestion, along with taking enough Betaine HCl, etc. - the information

is in " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " and also see this section:
