Results of Adrenal Stress Index -Diagnos-Techs Please help interpret

[Guest guest]

I received my saliva test results, and I'm confused about how to

proceed. Here is what it shows:

free cortisol rhythm

7-8 am 10 depressed ref 13-24 nM

11-noon 3 depressed 5-10 nM

4-5pm 4 normal 3-8 nM

11pm-midnight 4 normal 1-4 nM

remarks-depressed morning cortisol <13 nM is suggestive of marginal

Hypothalmic Pituitary Adrenal performance

So does this mean I need cortisol? There is a chart that indicates

levels at which cortisol should be supplemented(morning and noon for

my levels), but it doesn't specifically state this under my

restoration plan. Will most physicians know how to interpret this

test, and believe it is accurate? I did tell my doctor I was having

this test done. I want to get started with chelation soon, but I

knew my adrenals needed help.

The restoration plan states to consider pregnenolone 1mg/kg/day in

two divided doses

Pantothenic acid-some is in my B50 complex ehich I take twice day

Pyridixine

elemental zinc-currently taking 50 mg

copper 1mg BID I have high levels of copper in hair, and am taking

molybdenum and zinc to reduce, reducing intake of copper foods

ascorbic acid

free form bioflavonoids

biotin-some is in my B50 complex

DHEA 6 normal ref 3-10 ng/ml

Insulin

Fasting <3 normal 3-12

post-prandial <3 depressed optimal 5-20

remarks-consider closer examination of challenge meal composition to

rule out pre-diabetic tendencies

17-OH Progesterone 37 normal optimal 22-100pg/ml

Total salivary SIgA 7 depressed normal 25-60 mg/dl

borderline 20-25

My level is really really low... it gives four reasons this may be

depressed. Rule out possibility of systemic deficit in capacity to

produce IgA-an inherited problem

Gliadin Ab, SIgA 9 negative

Would this be affected by eliminating all gluten from my diet for

the last eight months, or would the antibodies still be there if I

had a problem with gluten?

Thanks for any thoughts!
