Re: [WmnsHormones] Peatfield on thyroid & Adrenals

[Guest guest]

Hi

I'm one of the very fortunate ones who actually sees Dr. Peatfield as my

alternative practioner.

Dr. Peatfield uses the salivary test, but as I live in the UK I'm unable to tell

you how to get the test in the US. I don't think you would be able to have the

test done from over here, as you have to do the test one day, then make sure it

goes by special post for the lab to get it the next morning..

I'm sure someone on the site will be able to tell you where to order it from

There is a test called the short synathen test but it is well know not to be

very reliable. I'm sure in Dr Peatfields Book, The Great Thyroid Scandal he

mentions this test, and possible the salivary test.

[WmnsHormones] Peatfield on thyroid & Adrenals

That's certainly an interesting article; thanks for sending it. Is

there anything in it that anyone here would question?

I don't have the symptoms mentioned [postural hypotension, the fainting

attacks, the digestive upsets] and my cortisol tested normal. What are

the chances I might still have an adrenal problem?

The only way I would know to further test my adrenals is to arrange some

kind of " stress " adrenals test; where the adrenals would be stimulated

to produce an emergency response. Is there such a test; and is it safe?

There are LOTS of salivary tests here in US---DiagnosTechs is quite good,

Great Smokies, ZRT, but the very best test is 24 hr urine from AAL, now

located in TX. Only holistic docs use these tests; the tests that

allopaths use always come out normal. My friend has about 10% adrenal

function, very very ill for years, not even able to walk, but was always

told adrenals were fine, she just had the flu!!!

there are many many other symptoms of low adrenals, allergies are one.

Doctors simply do not treat adrenals or recognize the symptoms. I would

guess you need testosterone and cortisol. You can see many examples of

this in Hertoghe's Hormone Solution.

Hi

The test I do is the one where you take the salivery sample at 8 am, 12 noon,

4pm and midnight. As I said before this is the test that Dr. P gave his

suggestion on what I should do, from

But I know that the 24 hr. urine may given as good as result or even better.

Going with one of these first will give you an idea of what's going on with the

adrenals.

As I said before this is what Dr. Peatfield recommends. When I get my result if

the levels are not right, the comments from the labs always give a lead on what

should be followed up.

I have other things going on with my adrenal or pituitary right now that the

hosp are investigating. But I have only found out what may be happening through

doing a salivary test in the first place, because I have always had to use

alternative methods because my levels have never seemed to fit in with the

health service ranges, that includes my thyroid to.

Not sure but over here the test is quite a cheap one to do, so I'd given it a

go, either one. At least you have a little more insight if you are advised to

get further testing.

I understand how your friend feels according to most of the medics I've seen

over the years have told me I have the Flu!!!!! if thats the case we should all

be in competition for a place in the Guiness Book of Records.

Let me know what happens, and tell your friend to take as much rest as possible
