Thanks Alessa,

I'm still not quite sure how this drug would repair gut mucosa, but I hope it

helps you.

Leaky Gut and blood pressure question

7a.

leaky gut

Hi ,

My doctor recently prescribed Ketotifen for me:

http://www.drugs.com/MMX/Ketotifen_Fumarate.html

As it was explained to me, this drug is supposed to help your body stop

having the histamine allergic response to the foods you eat.

The main side effect is sleepiness - which I got a lot of (since I'm

the queen of side effects) and I've had to stop taking it for now -

until I get some other things sorted. That side effect is supposed to

go away after a couple weeks but I didn't get that far.

I also had a blood test to see all the foods I'm reactive to and I've

avoided those. I've been having trouble avoiding wheat lately but I do

feel better when I can stay away from it completely, but wheat might

not be one of your reactive foods.

The test was done by Immuno Labs through my MD.

I finished a 3-day round of ALA (25) with DMSA (25) last week and have

been feeling awful. Specifically, I'm exhausted and it feels as if my

blood pressure is so low that I can barely sit up. In fact, I had my

blood pressure taken and it was 90 over 60 - or something like that.

I've never been able to understand blood pressure. What I do know is

that if I stand for too long or do any kind of physical exertion I get

super dizzy and have to lie down.

This kind of thing happens to me sometimes and I have NO idea what's

going on. Doctors don't seem to know either.

I'm taking 10mg Cortef/day (8am and 12pm) and .050 Levoxyl. I don't do

well on Armour and felt worse taking T3 Cytomel.

Anyone know what's making my blood pressure so low? Anyone know what

might help???

:^)

What's the best thing to do/take for leaky gut? Anything better than

glutamine which Andy recommends in Amalgam Illness book?

Alessa,

Thanks for the information about Ketotifen.

My BP was super low for years and years. Cortef helped slightly, but

didn't bring it up much. When I started to take lots of sodium, in

the form of salt or alka seltzer gold, my bp finally came up.

Yes, my aldosterone's been tested and it's too low. However, I couldn't

tolerate Florinef as per usual, I have lots of adverse reactions to meds due to

my fast phase 1 liver. I can take things transdermally, but not orally. Is

there anything I can do other than take Florinef to elevate aldosterol?

What would be 'as per usual way' to supplement Florinef? And what about long

term use?

Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid as far as I can see, that is also produced by

the adrenal cortex.

So when we are talking about Adrenal Insufficiency should we really be talking

about Adrenal Cortisol Insufficiency and Adrenal Aldosterone Insuffiency?

Is the suggestion for Amalgam illness hydrocortisone (cortisol) support only

because cortisol is the most important one to supplement?

Hence my question in my earlier post about Isocort possibly been 'better

overall' since it will contain 'all' the hormones produced by the adrenals. Is

that correct?

Also, are there any herbs that increase aldosterone production and/or activity?

And do you mean Sodium Chloride salt (i/e normal salt?)

Thanks Dean
