Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi Steph, I'm glad your results were good too! As far as testing hormones and thyroid, I've had blood drawn for all of those except adrenals. For adrenals a saliva test that is taken 4 times during the day (as opposed to once) is more accurate...I think you already did the adrenals, right? For thyroid, be sure to ask for a thyroid antibodies test in addition to the regular thyroid panel. Every time I had a thyroid panel, it came back normal. When I had thyroid antibodies tested, though, it came back high. Good luck w/ your ND appt tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thanks PH. I'll let you know how it goes. I haven't had the adrenal testing done yet. I'm going to see what my naturopath suggests first and then I'll go from there. I also have a phone consult this morning at 10 a.m. with a dr from the candida national center. I have to also complete the stool testing. I just received the kit in the mail and I have to collect three samples...I'm not looking forward to that! They're testing for yeast, parasites, and bacteria. Yesterday I had a 30 minute session in an infrared sauna and it really helped with my eyes. The pain was gone! I'm going to try to do them more often.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 There are two kinds of thyroid antibodies tests, so be sure to ask for them both. One can be high while the other is normal, so that is why you need both tests done to find an autoimmune thyroid condition. Those tests are the Anti-TPO antibodies test and the thyroglobulin antibody test. (TgAB) Best wishes!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Patty, I just had the TPO and it was slightly high. Do you think I need to get the TgAB now or would it not change my course of treatment? I think Mercola wants me to follow up with blood tests 6 months from now but that seems pretty far away. So far so good with the Armour, but it's only been 3 days. - PH > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I just returned from Mercola¡¦s and > > > > wanted > > > > > to > > > > > > > > share > > > > > > > > > > his > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > staff¡¦s > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > suggestions: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I am relieved as well as totally > > > > > > confused¡Kwhen > > > > > > > > the > > > > > > > > > > doc > > > > > > > > > > > > > went > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > over > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > my > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > stool and urine tests, they were > > > negative > > > > > for > > > > > > > > > yeast, > > > > > > > > > > > > > fungus, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > bacteria, parasites, etc!!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi PH, If you already know that your body is producing an autoimmune response to the thyroid, the other test probably isn't necessary. If your Anti-TPO had been negative, then I would have said yes, get the other test. At this point, the armour treatment is probably all you need. It's really the only other option to supporting the thyroid once it's under attack, other than making sure our diet doesn't have goiterogenic foods in it. (Foods that affect the thyroid negatively.) I'm thinking specifically of soy....soy is bad for thyroid sufferers! I have Hashimoto's and all I do is take Armour. As for blood tests, I haven't had one since December 2004 I think. Yes, I'm supposed to have blood tests twice a year.... I'm a bad patient. I just haven't found a doctor I like. The point is that I have felt fine on my own, so even though a 6 month delay in your next blood test seems far away, it's not really. Your body won't swing too widely once you're settled into a daily dosing with Armour. You'll learn to read the symptoms in your body and adjust up or down as needed, and of course, you'll adjust seasonally. (Winter requires a slight increase in thyroid meds.) You'll have it figured out in no time, you're a smart woman! And you're in good hands with Dr. Mercola!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think I'm going to continue with the sauna regulary and see how it works out. My dr said that right now he thinks I'll get more out by sweat instead of the foot bath. Steph > > You could benefit from both the infra red sauna and foot baths...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Rogene, I have a question, I am being told by my massage therapist to take detox full body baths after my massages. Is it just as beneficial to do the foot baths instead? Hugs, Cherie > > I had another massage today . . . with emphasis on my legs. > > The color of the foam was strange . . . It was going along, red/orange as before, then abruptly changed to dark brown foam . . . Stayed that way through the rest of the foot bath. . . Looked like brown fingers coming out from the array elements. I'd love to know what that was! > > My massage therapist, and her daughter, tried mine . . . She had been depressed, looking at things darkly. . . She said her head cleared immediately and she and her daughter slept like babies . . . woke up charged with energy the next morning. > > She's ordering one today. > > Hugs, > > Rogene > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 My chiro said the same thing...color means very little with foot baths.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Steph, The sauna is great for getting chemicals out of the body, but the foot bath works better for the metals according to my doc. - PH > > > > You could benefit from both the infra red sauna and foot baths... > They both > > truly work to remove toxins from the body...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi PH, I had my follow up appt today and the results of the candida blood test were in. My result was 1.64 and the normal level is .99 and under! Looks like I still don't have that under control! It'll be interesting to see what the results of the stool testing comes back as!
