I suspect on of the other glandulars, maybe the adrenal complex, UNLESS,

you don't need DHEA or estrogen. YES, those would be included in the

adrenal glandular because when you take the whole gland, you are getting

everything that the adrenal gland would normally make. This is why, if I

needed adrenal substances, I would test to determine EXACTLY which ones I'm

short on AND long on, then take the ones I'm short on separately, not as an

entire glandular. People don't seem to think about this, when they take

these whole substances, and if there's something there that they already are

making enough of or even too much of, they're getting even more of it

through these glandular substances. I have not idea what the pituitary

glandular does, but I suspect that it is made up of the entire gland, if it

is the whole gland, not just a certain part of it. You've got to remember

that the pituitary makes human growth hormone AND the one that makes the

breasts make milk (duh, forgot the name of the substance for unknown

reasons!), just to name two of them. Why is it that you would require

parotid glandular???? What does it do? Aren't the parotids those glands

that are in the mouth that create saliva, or am I thinking of something

else? Why would you need that? If you are hypothyroid, Armour is the best

treatment available, and I have never heard of this side effect from using

it, has anyone else? As I said, I suspect one of the glandulars, if not all

of them. I forget, how did the doc determine that you were low in any of

the substances from these glandulars? If you have low stomach acid, I can

certainly understand the hydrochloric acid and bile salts, but why ox bile?

I'm curious about that one myself. These are not things to guess at, they

are to be determined by testing, and I am all for saliva testing, and no

guesswork here. I think you have Estrogen Dominance that's been accentuated

by something in one of the glandulars you are taking, IMHO.
