's abnormal labs/thyroid panel results

[Guest guest]

Okay, here are my results. Does any of this explain why I can't think straight,

have hair that doesn't grow, eat a ton of food and don't gain weight, am

constantly exhausted and am cold all the time? Any ideas on how to adjust

supplements, etc. to help me function more optimally? Feel free to email me

privately. Thanks again!

Biotin deficiency caused my #4 to have hair that did not grow.

>> eat a ton of food and don't gain weight,

Have you considered digestive enzymes? They helped my son with this

problem. I used HNI

This was adult version of phenol intolerance for me

I recently started biotin so it will be interesting to see if that

helps. However, my children have the same problems with hair growth

and have been on biotin for a while w/ no improvements. We have all

tried digestive enzymes and some pancreatic and didn't help with

weight gain or BMs. I did a trial of eliminating phenols but didn't

get any improvements.

Does anyone know what the accurate thyroid panel levels are for an

adult?

Thanks for the reply!

this is clearly hypothyroid with a TSH over 2, for starters.

Your Free T3 is low which means that you don't have sufficent unbound

thyroid hormone to run the tissues of your body or brain...

I strongly suggest that you join the NaturalThyroidHormones groups

list. They taught me how to save myself -and my family- from

hypothyroidism...

with all due respect to Dana, this is much more than a biotin, or enzyme

problem, and it is likely to get worse without natural thyroid hormone.

Adrenal function needs to be evaluated before starting thyroid treatment.

ASI, or Adrenal Stress Index, is a 4 x in one day saliva cortisol test which

does a good job of evaluating cortisol rhythm/adrenal stress levels. Some

docs use Diagnos-Tech or ZRT saliva kits or you can check out

www.CanaryClub.org which has a bargain package for 141.00 and includes ASI,

and thyroid hormone testing. The saliva test tells you what is getting into

the tissues, not what is floating in the serum...

That was the key for my daughter's hair. I had to give a LOT of

biotin tho, and she was only 5 when I started it.

My kids did not tolerate rice, corn, or anything orange or green, even

with enzymes. It took ALA chelation, plus selenium and a few other

supplements, before they tolerated those foods. So it might be

something else eaten that the enzymes are not addressing.

I can't answer your specific question here, but I have found these

sites useful for info on how to address thyroid and adrenal issues

with supplements
