Re: DDI Hair Test Results-Help/Adrenal/Thyroid issue//Others

[Guest guest]

HI ,

Thanks for the input. Do you have personal experience with the

adrenal/thyroid issue. If so, I would like to ask a couple questions

based on the following reactions to previous interventions:

I tried the following one at a time:

Tried increasing selenomethionine by 12.5mcg which knocked me off my

feet(fatigue/heart palpitations/tachycardia, low BP, etc.) Tried

taking more Armour, but when I increased dose above 3/4 grains I

broke in hives all over.

I've also tried digestive enzymes with even more disastrous results.

Face swelled up/eyes swelled closed/skin peeled off face and

eyelids/and triggered systemic joint/ligament/tendon inflammation

which never completely resolved after stopping the enzymes. I am a

bit hesitant to try digestive enzymes again.

It's not that I am not willing to try some of these things again as

chelation progresses, but I would prefer to try something I've not

tried before that met with months of misery. I've cut out all

cruciferous vegetables which have a negative effect on thyroid, I am

on the SCD diet to help with IBD and digestion. If you or someone

else has other suggestions regarding the thyroid/adrenal/digestion

issues, PLEASE let me know.

I apologize for snooping on your post, I also have suppressed

thryoid and adrenal function. I am interesting in what products

could help that. Natural ones that is. I do not have a doc to

prescribe any Armour. My holistic one said if my thyroid did not

kick back up on it's own within a year of amalgam removal then I

would need to try some support. But my thyroid has been low for a

few years now from the mercury, and as you ladies can

sympathize...this stinks! My 11 yr daughter also has adrenal problem

from mercury. So interesting in any suggestions too. Again. sorry to

butt in!

I have only skimmed these posts, so I apologize if I have missed something,

but here are some of my experiences:

I and my oldest child have been taking a product for adrenal support called

Plus (from Mannatech). A few weeks ago, I finally found coconut oil which

was recommended to me for gut issues by Sharon (son?) on this list. My

son and I both require less adrenal support since we started taking coconut

oil as a supplement. I bought both the oil and capsules. The capsules are

very convenient but I am also trying the oil (taking a spoonful of it)

because I have been told that the capsules are somewhat less effective than

the oil.

My son has gotten completely off of digestive enzymes by taking sea salt and

avoiding yeast in his diet and it seems the coconut oil was " the final nail

in the coffin " on needing any digestive enzymes. I am now using up our

remaining digestive enzymes as an antiviral protocol because I mostly no

longer need them for digestion either.
