Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 I've been out of town for sometime but in reading back some of my mail I read a question from jmc1229, this is in answer and may be of help to all. There is a doctor I'm presently in touch with in MD. Dr. Richie Shoemaker. He is doing great things with Lymes etc. on his site chronicneurotoxins.com he offers an easy test to take to get you on the road to a good treatment, perhaps a better test for Lymes. Check out the site and see what you think and read all the information. If you what to hear him speak as well as Dr. Liegner and others about Lymes try this site also lymediseaseaudio.com/shoemaker.htm . I think these might helpful. If anyone would like to let me know what they think, I'd be glad to hear from you. The best to you all, Teena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of low testosterone condition is rare. > > Jerry > Jerry, I recently tried to get an ITT done for free at the NIH, fitting under a general endecrine protocol if I were to do so. The clinical fellow was open enough to do it but he had to go to his superiors to get permission since it does carry some risk and wouldn't you know they talked him out of it saying it was not medically justified unless one is a dwarf. Well, that sucked, but when the NIH guy called me back he said according to the tests that I had previously done, he also said my HPA axis was not off like I had been told. I don't see how this can be b/c my ASI shows very low cortisol output and the fact that high amounts of dexamethasone cured my chronic fatigue and temporarily transformed my brain into a supercomputer-like state of mind makes me believe I certainly suffer from adrenal dysfunction. His justification for saying nothing is wrong with my adrenals is that the ASI is not scientific so to not believe that (which I think is BS--indeed, I have read that saliva is the most accurate way of testing cortisol). The other justification is when my adrenals were stimulated with ACTH they showed that they worked. I don't believe that excuse either. I thought the ACTH was just to see if the adrenals were damaged, and as the test showed, they are at least capable of putting out enough cortisol, but that doesn't mean they are always putting out enough when not stimulated, does it? The last reason he gave for me not having HPA dysfunction is that my testosterone levels were high and normal and that it would therefore be impossible for me to have a messed up HPA system if I was putting out normal amount of testosterone. Can you, Jerri, or anyone else rebut what this scientific NIH guy is saying or was his point about my testosterone being high " proof " that nothing is wrong with the HPA axis? Thing the NIH guys don't understand is their job is to view things in a scientific nature, and there's nothing wrong with that. Where they go wrong is in thinking that you apply the same rigid double blind study/if there isn't proof then it doesn't work mentality in the real world. That's such BS. This same conventional minded crap is why conventional minded doctors will tell you Vit B-12 injections are not necessary unless it registers low in blood but if you've read what Cheney says about this you know that it may still not get into the cells and that also there is a study that showed 2/3 of CFS patients had undetectible amounts in their spinal cord, which meant none in the brain. Interesting how their " if it doesn't work 100% then it's ineffective " mentality applies so inconsistently with real world application of psychiatrists, where the first thing they give you is a piss-poor anti-depressant that works in only 40-something% of patients.
