Medium chain acyl dehydrogenase deficiency

The purpose of this post is two fold 1 I want to demonstrate, using the example below, that members are empowered to take even the most complex scientific studies and use Google's Notebooklm to convert them into easy to understand language. 2. In the process, provide some insight into Lactate

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a blessed day... I am hoping those with much more experience and research under their belt can share their thoughts or point to relevant reference material... I am currently adhering to 5day/week 18+hour of nightly fast. I eat last meal around 5-6 PM. In the morning

If you could only continue with just one alternative PD therapy, what would it be? (My rather gauche attempt to pick your brains and not re-invent the wheel.) For me, it's MCT oil. What about you?

Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

Can you take Mct oil if you have pbc?

hello everyone hope your all as good as can be I wonder if you could give me your opinion on these results, thanks Serum iron 10(5.83-34.5) Transferrin 206 (2-3.6) Transferrin saturation 21% (15%-50%) Ferritin 223 no range with this Look forward to hearing from you thanks again

I would like to increase my Ferritin levels but I’m one of those that can’t take iron supplements because the rest of my iron levels, including transferrin saturation, are good. Therefore I should try to increase Ferritin levels via my diet. Unfortunately I can’t eat meat in any form, haven’t done

This is a new one for me. I'm now at 1.5 grains Armour. I weigh 52kg. I waited months for this increase and 5 weeks on, I'm feeling peculiar. Fluttery palpitations, resting heart rate is faster, slight pressure in my chest, head and ears. No energy, lethargic. Haven't really got out of my PJs for a few

A Haematologist appears to have ignored my recent blood test results after I went to see him in the belief my serum iron is too low but ferritin levels are above reference range. I do not understand the implication of this nor the impact of ferritin upon iron levels. I went to see the Haematologist

My fbc shows a couple of indifferent results....with a low MCV but a higher RBC any ideas what I need to do? Can't get to see a doctor til next week now. Any help much appreciated....would it show macryocytic anaemia? Would it suggest iron supplements needed? On the tes it says abnormal repeat blood

Did you know that the symptoms of B12 deficiency are similar to hypothyroidism? https://thyroiduk.org/if-you-are-hypothyroid/the-importance-of-vitamins-and-minerals-hypo/checking-for-b12-deficiency-and-pernicious-anaemia/

Still clawing my way back to some form of better health after contracting Covid in May but things are seemingly going in the right direction. It seems my thyroid med dose is now too high though! Potentially because my folate and iron are so much better with supplementation. I’ve been feeling extra

Hi guys, Had a blood test at my GP after a 3 month course of 305mg Ferrous Fumarate and got results this morning Serum ferritin level: 30 ng/ml [30 - 150]; Note raised CRP. The Ferritin value may be lower than this once; the acute phase response is over.; Ferritin 15-30ug/L may suggest depletion of

Hi, I dose 3 times per day, 6am (Levo & T3) and 2pm and 10pm. Would it be ok to take 2mg of iron as part of a B-complex? I purchased the wrong product a while ago and I don't want to waste money and throw it away. Reading PR's book it states; take thyroid hormone meds 1 hr before iron sups, or take

Hello everyone people have been asking for my blood results i received them today.Sorry for the small writing.I am taking iron and folic acid prescribed by my doctor.And 50 mgs of Levothyroxine.

Adding on to my previous post a few day's ago, with my iron level at 9.3 (10-30) & transferrin saturation at 11.6 (25-45) I'm advised (privately) to consider an iron infusion? Does anyone have any experience of this? Will it be detrimental to my thyroid medication? It feels like renovating a house, you

I have low iron and hypothyroidism. I have been researching the connection between the two and found research that shows that iron feeds the T4/T3 process. So is the root cause of hypo low iron or do they go hand in hand typically? I am taking iron pills, increasing liver intake and supporting my body
