hey wendy. he's not actually my " doctor " but he did practice

medicine for a while. he said that he ended up feeling so stifled by

the box that insurance and the typical medical community wanted him

to fit into that he stopped practicing that way and just practices

nutrition. he is a " doctor " though, i think he has a phd in

nutritional science maybe?

i've been meaning to write up a whole big email for the texas thyroid

group about my appointment with him, because i think he could help

alot of our members, but finding the energy and the clear head to do

it has eluded me thus far!

the simple story is that he's got me on a few different things. i'm

probably not going to explain this all 100% accurately, so if

something looks strange, it's probably due to my explanation, not his

direction.

he's concerned about my body being in fight or flight mode all the

time, so one of the supplements is lecithin. the lecitihin is

supposed to put a sort of speedbump in my body's production of

cortisol so that it doesn't overdo it. the lecithin does come from

soy, but it's pharmacutical grade and so it contains no

phytoestrogens, so he said it is ok for me to take even with my

thyroid issues.

he's also concerned about estrogen dominance, so i'm taking DIM. DIM

has this beneficial phytochemical that is naturally found in

cruciferous veggies that helps the metabolisation of estrogen. it

helps to increase the good estrogen metabolites, and reduce the bad

ones. he also got me a bood on DIM that i'm really enjoying. i'm

really excited about this since i'm not eating cruciferous veggies

anymore. seems like a good thing to supplement the good stuff that

i'm missing fomr them.

along with the estrogen dominance is my low testoserone. he's got me

on a supplment called ZMA. it's got zinc, magnesium and b6. he says

this will help boost my testoserone and as a side benefit should help

me sleep.

the alpha lipoic acid is for my mercury concerns, obviously.

i also asked him about something to boost my mood while i wait for my

thyroid stuff to get optimized and for my testosterone to improve.

for that, he's got me on SAMe and 5htp for that. the 5htp helps the

SAMe to work better, so i can take a smaller dose and still get

benefits. (SAMe is pretty expensive.)

any other questions, let me know.

rachel.

Hi !

Thanks for typing out the info! Which dr gave you estrogen, test

etc blood tests? What magic words did you say to get the test done

or are you close to menopause age? I couldn't get my endro or pa or

dr to do it, 5 drs so far refused! Going to 6th in 2 months.

thanks,

according to andy cuttler, you should not use ALA until 3 months after all

amalgam has been removed. Because ALA crosses the blood brain barrier, you

could be putting more mercury into your brain than removing. He also

advocates an every 3 hour protocol day and night for using ALA to remove

mercury. For 3 days and nights on, then 4 days off. This is what we are

using on my autistic son. There is a lot to read about this, and again, not

many doctors know anything about it.

* There is a very knowledgeable group on yahoo called Autism-mercury.

* Andys site is www.noamalgam.com he has written 2 books about

this that are available from amazon or from Andy directly. This a very

complicated issue, and one that the autism community have studied

extensively, since all vaccines are preserved with mercury.
