my story

July 14, 2010

Jazmin,I don't know what kind of testing your holistic doctor is doing, but my understanding from following this group for some time is that the only really accurate testing it the 24-hr urine loading test (which you can order yourself, unless you are in CA or NY) and it's also quite helpful to add the test for Bromide to that. It's available from http://www.hakalalabs.com/testing.htmlJudyThis is your invitation to pray for and/or help Brioni, a young lady from my church fellowship, who has had years of serious health challenges and now cancer.

Hi Judy

Thank you for that info it's all very fasinating to me. I guess with the testing I am doing with my holistic doctor I will be able to find out if I am taking to much iodine by how my readings are next month. I am going to look further into this bromide toxicity, I know that I have tested negetive for heavy metals in my system and feel that I own that to taking chlorella. Although I have just introduced seafood back into my diet so... Anyway, thank you:)

I feel that it was related to my accident as my body was in a lot of shock, but I digress. I realized that all of my symptoms that I had been dealing with we...re in fact because of hypothroidism a year ago. Since then I went to my doctor and started taking synthroid, I was also going to a natropath who got me on some natural thyroid supports as well, but as I increased the synthroid meds and natural supports I still wasn't feeling 100%. I became frustrated and after hearing about this holistic doctor I decided to give him a try as nothing else was really working.

Now a healthy reading is 50 and a lot of my organs were operating well below this number. He got me on a detox for parasites, viruses and bacteria and gave me a few things to take. A ... See Moregood probiotic, magnesium and iodine! Iodine! My thyroid was functioning at a 30 well below where it should have been even though my blood tests came back as balanced. I started taking Lugol's Oil, which is an amazing iodine liquid you use topically. Now with this oil you need to see how much your body needs, you do this by seeing how fast it absorbs into your system. Starting with 2 drops and seeing how fast is disappears over a 24 hour period. If in a few hours or even by bedtime it's gone you need more, you keep checking till you find your dose. My dose is 5 drops a day.

> Since I started taking the iodine I cut my thyroid meds down to a 1/4 of what they were and I am feeling fabulous! I haven't felt this good in years! It's only a matter of time before I can stop taking the synthoid all together. My thyroid was checked and is a wonderful 50 and a lot of my organs have vastly improved, this is all after only 2 months, I can't wait to see what the next 2 will bring!

> I am currently contemplating going on a form of candida diet. The one thing

that is really stopping me though, is that form what I've read, the consensus is

that you cannot really eat fruit. I'm having a hard time with this. I mean, I

love fruit. I always thought of it as the perfect food, one that is both healthy

and tasty. It seems to satisfy me more consistently than any other food.

+++Hi . Welcome to our group. Fruits contain fructose which is the worst

kind of sugar, even for healthy people, because of how the body processes it,

which is different than for others kinds of sugars. Also, there's more vitamin

C in broccoli, green peppers and some other vegetables than in any fruits,

except acerola cherries. Fruits today are bred to contain higher fructose than

they were in the past so that's another issue.

+++In fact meats and eggs also contain vitamin C.

>

> I have been eating " healthy for about a year or two now. I started by

eliminating the junk and processed foods, then cut out meats, dairy, and

eventually all animal products, and other things my intuition told me to avoid

(soy). All of that was easy for me to do. I actually enjoyed doing it all. But

this, giving up fruit, for a while even, is something else.

+++Animal products are the most important foods for human health, which includes

meats, eggs and fats. They are also the easiest foods for humans to digest,

since all plant foods (carbs) like fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds,

spices, herbs, etc. all have cell walls that humans cannot digest - see this

article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/veg3.php

+++You can get all of your glucose/sugar requirements by eating only meats, eggs

and fats from animals because 58% of protein and 10% of fat can be changed to

glucose inside the body, as needed.

+++Carbs are not required for human health anyway, that's why the Eskimos who

ate only meats and fats were one of the healthiest groups on Earth that was

studied by Dr. Weston A. Price - see this article for a study done on 2 men

eating only meats and fats in a New York Hospital:

http://www.biblelife.org/stefansson1.htm

> Should I try to look at this like chemotherapy (I know chemo is way way

worse), as in, the diet will suck for a while but may be better in the long run?

+++See Food Selection for Humans:

>

> One thing I'm not sure how to deal with though: For myself, eating fruit often

has certain relaxing effects. An example: I tried not to eat sweet/semi-sweet

fruit all day. By the time night came around, I was feeling rather irritable,

and I felt uncomfortable sensations in my body. Usually, when I felt this way,

maybe I would eat some fruit. I tried desperately to stave-off my fruit

cravings, but, eventually, I gave in and ate a navel orange. Once I ate the

orange, I felt better, or at least more comfortable, although as soon as I ate

it, I sensed a small amount of mucus in my nasal passages.

+++You can curb your cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you get on this

program - there's articles to help you.

>

> The above scenario is pretty much representative of my relationship with

fruit. I wonder if this itself could be a sign of a candida problem, like I am

feeding the bacteria/whatever.

+++People who crave sugars, even in fruits, usually have candida and/or cancer

since they are both a fungus and feed off of sugars.

>

> Sorry for going off on possible tangents, but, basically, I'm having a hard

time dealing with the fruit restrictions. Any advice?

I am 36 now...but this all started when I was 17 or 18....I went through puberty

great, awesome sex drive...but I repressed it for religious reasons....I now

don't agree with those religions. well, life sucks...lol...but then since I was

so skinny 6/2 140 lbs born with a sunken chest or pectus excavatum as the

medical community calls it and it is right where the belly meets the chest...so

makes my belly look bigger and chest smaller, with all that I decided to try

steroids anabolic at age of 17 and then after a few months gained 40 lbs and

decided I hated it and stopped cold on the steroids at age of 18...this didn't

give time for my body to recover and my penis shrunk in size from 7.5 to 5.5

erect. since then I have been told that doesn't happen...and been given

trt...well the story is more complicated. my primary care when I first saw him

told me to do nothing and nothing...well four years went by and I did nothing

and my levels are also borderline low when I do nothing...t is about 250...ft is

low...lh from 2 to 4 and fsh from 2 to 4....so then I finally had enough and

attempted suicide....this was a cry for help...and I begged the therapist that

this was why i did it....he didn't listen....I begged more and more.....finally

I had a gnrh stimulation test done.....it worked I was like can I get that

treatment premanantly....even though it raised my t slightly it felt great....

I was given a gnrh stimulation test...my lh and fsh tripled but my t hardly

move...doctor said it must be psychological...as the system always restarts and

since t hardly moved..I will show result below. my question since it has been 4

years since my steroid stoppage, wouldn't my t level be low because of how

insensitive the leydig cells became.

time in am LH fsh test

before test (720) 3.6 3.7 283

test (735) 13.23 5.9 na

test (750) 15.54 6.7 na

test (820) 13.80 6.69 na

last gnrh pul. (850) 11.01 6.46 334

so it went from 283 to 334 in 90 minutes...isn't that how pulsate works...slow

and satued

results of my gnrh testt................

so what did endo say to me.....one guess....it must be psychological? first

cause I was in a mental ward....2nd cause my t only raised a bit.....hello my

leydigs were desensitized....3rd I am sure doctors say crazy when I say penis

shrunk.......but it did....anyways, so I was still waiting for system to restart

after 4 years....missed out on some good years.....next comes along I decide tto

get t shots....they wake me up some and help me...of course it is given

incorrectly in high doses.....and no antie...but they do work for sex and sex

drive....just bad for mood swings and thick blood...polycythemia..
