B12 deficient dog
A bit naughty to ask here, but I can find no information elsewhere, and these communities are such a fantastic reservoir of wisdom I thought maybe someone has some ideas. Usually dogs only become deficient in B12 if vegetarian fed, if the have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or chronic diarrhoea

Vitamin K deficiency doesn't cause PA
I was just reading this webpage: http://www.gutsense.org/gutsense/ibs.html and I came across this sentence: "Vitamin K deficiency is behind internal bleedings, pernicious anemia, inoperable ulcers, and strokes." While I'm not entirely familiar with the properties of vitamin K, I did recognize immediately

Do you think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome exists?
I'm interested to hear peoples views on CFS, and whether you think it exists - or whether you think it's a name given to a collection of issues not 'picked up' by our doctors (such as adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalances, thyroid problems, insulin resistance/pre diabetes and so on) I have actually been

GGT a little high
My GGT's were at 68 my AST and ALT are normal but been found to have HCV about 5 years ago waiting on a new treatment but is this something that I should worry to much over. This is a new test GGT and I have been doing lots of blood work over the last 5 years because of my condition.

Advice: can I drink moderately now? GGT/AST
Ok. My GGT was off the radar. Over 600. I was drinking very heavily earlier this year, due tolife issues and lack of responsibility. I have abstained for 4 weeks. GGT is now 140. [should be <50. Was >600] AST is now 42. [should be 40, was 72] 1. I plan to take another month off. It's not that hard

GGT very high - fatty liver
I had my ALT and AST results - 70 for ast, 79 for alp. Doctor wasn't too worried. But the GGT results are 600. I drink heavily. He said I must stop for a month. The Ultrasound showed a fatty liver. He said at least it's not got further. Any advice? I will stop for a month and check but how quickly will

What is the adrenal extract in Nutri Adrenal Extra?
Does anybody know if it contains adrenaline, or is this cortex extract? I'm considering using this instead of taking all the individual supplements, along with my adrenal cortex extract, but don't want to buy it if it contains adrenaline!

If you are using Nutri Adrenal Extra, or adrenal cortex extract - when do you take it?
I have been taking mine an hour after taking my NDT, but wondering if they could be taken together??

MCT vs Coconut Oil
I recently purchased MCT oil, thinking it might be easier to take because it's more liquid in form. I noticed my tremors where worse, after having had good luck with coconut oil. So I looked up info on MCT vs Coconut oil, and found that the most important medium chain fatty acid, lauric acid, has been

Adrenal stress test. How long should I stop taking adrenal cortex extract?
In light of my latest thyroid panel, I need to check my adrenals again. I have been taking adrenal cortex extract for a few months, so I'm not entirely sure how long I have to stop taking this for, before doing the saliva test? Somebody kindly pointed out that I have to be off it for two weeks beforehand
