GM Foods-Should We Be Concerned?
I read in the Mail On Sunday yesterday a two page spread on GM Food Hysteria. It seems that anyone who drinks milk or eats meat and dairy products in Europe is part of the GM food chain: About 85% of animal feed is also GM maize and soya mainly imported from America. Under ' Frankenfoods ' the myths

Had the TRH test - looks like it's down to me then! Any advice on getting T3 or vegetarian adrenal supplements welcome......
Okay, as promised I said I'd let anyone interested know what the TRH test was like. It was fine really, apart from the registrar messing about and not seeming like he knew what he was doing! The only effect I felt was needing to have a wee, which passed quickly, apart from that I felt the same

Does elevated conjugated bilirubin in newborn always mean liver disease?
I have a 5 week old baby girl who has been jaundiced since birth (can especially tell in whites of her eyes). At the last appointment we had a blood test which showed elevated bilirubin, particularly the direct component (almost 60%). We are set to see a liver specialist next week but I am pretty worried

To take Carnitine, or not to take Carnitine with hypothyroidism?
Just trying to decide what is the best thing to do here. I have the diagnosis of being hypothyroid (18 yrs) and of ME/CFS. I happen to believe that there is more going on than the thyroid and adrenals, though I know some people on these forums don't agree. At any rate I am trying to address all

Now off all meds in preparation for TRH Test.
Last time I tried this, I felt better for a couple of weeks, then went down hill pretty quick. This time I have to stay off all meds for about 4 weeks - just hoping I don't end up virtually housebound again :( I am actually interested to see the test results though as far as how my thyroid is working

adrenal fatigue should I change from levothyroxine
Thanks to this sites help and having done the questionnaire for Adrenal fatigue and discovered that I had almost every symptom, I went back to my doctor and asked for further blood tests which revealed problems with my adrenal glands. The doctor think sits probably Addisons Disease (so I am not depressed

Just found out my thyroid has been 'destroyed'!
Hi - Just found out that my thyroid is not functioning at all. Not sure how the readings work, but was told my level was over 700! and there was no reading for the hormone. Put me straight on 100micrograms of Thyroxine and a month later levels have returned to normal. I also had no cortisol so hospital

I have diabetes Type 2. I was prescribed with Diamorm -M twice a day and Galvus 50 Once a day. At this level, My glycemic readings were Fasting 130 and PP 160 mg/DL. My doctor revised the prescription as Galvus 50 twice a day and dianorm -M twice a day. I have read in these blogs and wiki that Galvus
