I had one treatment for sulfa...I think Lisa had to have a few treatments addressing residual sulfa.

Yeah I had 3 treatments for sulfa's. I think just working around washing hands all day in the restaurant and stuff made me extremely high in them. About the magnesium salt baths. I was told by Dee to not do them. Or maybe she was asking me not to do them within the 25 hour detox period.

<_< Hum, should ask next time.

I'm guessing she was talking about the 25 hour detox period....during that time you'd have to avoid all sulfur...including the foods like garlic.

FSH 4.26 (range is 5.14-23.4) isn't this really low?

LH 21.60 (range is 27.3-96.9) isn't this really low too? what does it mean?

Prolactin 10.20 (range is 3.0-27.0)

Kassandra,

I'm not sure what these tests are for but I dont think they are for thyroid.

The TSH was a thyroid test. The other tests for thyroid are FT4 and FT3. I'm not sure what FSH or LH are for...maybe someone else knows?

Ok...heres what the FSH is for...

FSH Blood Level Measurement

This is the key test to determine whether or not you are in menopause. A sample of your blood is taken to measure the levels of FSH -- follicle stimulating hormone -- in your blood. Because your FSH levels rise when your ovaries stop producing enough estrogen, high FSH levels can signal that your body is entering menopause.

As Rachel said, FSH is follicle stimulating hormone. It gets your eggs ready for ovulation.

Prolactin is the hormone women produce mostly when breastfeeding. It actually makes you "feel" like mothering your baby ..... it's the "mommy hormone". It is an advantage of breastfeeding.

LH is the luteinizing hormone .... triggers ovulation.

Has anyone ever got an rash from detoxing. Yesterday i woke up with this big rash on my arm, its really splotchy and almost dry looking and it burns. Im thinking maybe from dry skin brushing and the epsom baths and the charcoal, and all the toxins are just coming out of my skin, but im not sure. I tried to look things up and couldnt find anything that really correlated to what i was experiencing lol.

Paula,

For the past month and a half I've had red, itchy rash on my arms (thank goodness it's winter!). I think it's definitely from toxins, but the Epsom Salt bath I took last night helped it. Maybe you should back off on detoxing for a while--focus on the binders to bind up the toxins in your body instead of releasing more from your tissue.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIAMIA!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Everyone,

I took an epsom salt bath last night and the itching/splotching on my arms has decreased a lot. I still had symptoms from the bath, and my back hurts today, but at this point it's definitely worth it. ;)

Ugh. Dizzy today and air hunger is really bad. Started taking the cumanda and enula yesterday. Thinking that might have something to do with it, along with the palanquil. Probably stirring up the babs (which I haven't been officially dx'd with yet).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA!!!!

Egads everyone...I'm crazy busy these days. I worked a lot of overtime Sunday/Monday and this morning already. Dr. S will be very upset with me. :rolleyes::lol:

Did anyone have a bad reaction to Humaworm?????

Like Carla, I had a rough first few days...maybe about 3 I think, but not bad after that. I called and asked them to leave out the sage since I tested positive to that in an allergy test.

OH Donna that name of makeup you use, what's it called again?. I want to look somewhat decent for easter sunday at church.

I see that Julie and Birdy have answered you re this... It's Everyday Minerals and so far, it's the best I've used.

I am the queen of hives/rashes :lol: and have them frequently, that didn't change with the skin brushing, baths, the charcoal seems to make them less severe though.

Have you been taking the baths continually, or did you just start them up again?? Anything new you started to take? I know you just recently started taking the charcoal, but I wouldn't think that would cause rashing.

When I start anything new (or do anything detox new) I back down off of it/stop it until the rashing stops and then add one thing back in at a time slowly.

I took an epsom salt bath last night and the itching/splotching on my arms has decreased a lot. I still had symptoms from the bath, and my back hurts today, but at this point it's definitely worth it. ;)

Hey, you changed your avatar!

I will miss the "Can't Brain, I Have the Dumb" :lol::D:lol:

Kass, Rachel and Carla gave you the answers about the hormonal readings, TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone.

The other thyroid things you should look for in your test results if you have them would be Tri-iodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4).

A low TSH would usualy be a diagnosis for hypothyroid, but depends on who is interpreting your results.

OK, I'm REALLY mad at Quest Labs!!! :angry: :angry:

So I called one yesterday to ask if I needed to fast or get there at a certain time, etc. Since Dr H ordered an AM cortisol, they said I had to be there by 10 am. Okay, no big deal.

Well, today I went to one close to home and I got there at 9.15. After sitting there waiting for 15 minutes, the lady tells me that I can't have my blood drawn because I'm not 18 and my parent/guardian isn't there! This was NEVER a problem at LabCorp. I mean, if you can drive there, shouldn't you be able to have them take your freakin' blood?!!!!!

So after going back and forth with her, she tells me the AM cortisol has to be taken before 9 AM...NOT 10 AM! So, I woke up early for NOTHING! :angry: :angry: Clearly...I am NOT a morning person. Ugh, I hate them!!!!

Ok, sorry for my rant. Just had to get it out! ;)

I did my first ecoffee! :D:lol:

It's SO not that big of a deal! I was WAY more nervous than I needed to be. Donna, stool tests are WAY worse! LOL! :lol:;)

I did really weak coffee because I wanted to make sure I didn't get a caffeine rush afterwards. And I held it for about 5 minutes. Pretty good for a first timer, huh? B)

Is it normal to get bloated while you're retaining the coffee? I would assume it is, but ya never know!

Donna...eventually you're gonna cave! :P

Kassandra....I get bloated with any kind of "e".

As far as thyroid goes your TSH looks pretty good (not the tests always tell the whole story) but you can get a better idea with the FT4 and FT3. If your TSH was high (or even above 2) it could indicate hypothyroid...if it was lower than the reference range it would indicate hyperthyroid. Basically TSH is your body's "signal" which tells the thyroid how much hormone to produce...a high number means you dont have enough in your system and your body is wanting/needing more.

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron.

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
