Re: What blood tests should I get.

[Guest guest]

You want them to run TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Thyroid antibodies (TPO),

A CBC is always nice, they usually run those anyway, this will let you

know if your anemic, or have any white cell counts problems etc. If

your concerned about adrenals, you can ask for Serum Cortisol. But you

will have to have the test done before 8am. And bear in mind, often

times these come back " normal " and you still have an adrenal problem.

Andy's list of possible tests is on page 58,59.

It depends what you trying to determine. If you trying to " prove "

mercury toxicity, or trying to see if your healthy enough to chelate,

or trying to see if you have something wrong etc.

TK--- if these are formulas to supposedly remove Hg be very careful

as they can just mobilize Hg causing more damage and side effects.
