Change of clinic, change of attitude
I’ve had a productive couple of weeks recently that I wanted to share here as this forum helped me get out of my despair. I received NHS funding for 2 cycles at an excellent clinic in London, and have had my first consultation there - love the doctor. She said one failed IVF cycle doesn’t indicate needing

Medicheck results. Any advice appreciated.

New member seeking advice for underactive thyroid/hashimotos for 20yrs. Tests showing I need less thyroxine but symptoms show otherwise.
Thyroid problems run in my family. My grandma and father both had hashimotos and had their thyroids removed. I had been asking for tests on my thyroid for years as I showed signs but as I was not overweight and T4 levels 'normal' noone listened. Eventually a private doctor did TSH which was slightly

New results - Not sure what to make of them
Hi all I have some new results which to be honest don’t make sense. For the past 5 months I have been supplementing with selenium, Vit D + K2, Vit c & zinc, magnesium bisglycinate, a good quality b complex with folate and have increased my nutritional Iron. Tests were taken early am and I’m not on any

Vitamin D and testosterone co-ordinately modulate intracellular zinc levels and energy metabolism in prostate cancer cells.
"supplementation of vitamin D3 and testosterone can restrict the energy production that is required to drive PCa progression by maintaining proper zinc homeostasis and inhibiting TCA cycle activity in PCa cells." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30664926

Just read this inspiring article “Review Article Open Access Evidence that Human Prostate Cancer is a ZIP1-Deficient Malignancy that could be Effectively Treated with a Zinc Ionophore (Clioquinol) Approach”

Factors that assist T3 to enter cells
I wonder if anybody can enlighten me to the latest research / theories on which factors assist / prevent T3 to enter cells and therefore make them work. The reason I ask is that I have got my B12, folate, vit D3, and iron to the optimal levels suggested here on these forums. I have also got myself to

Newbie Hypothyroid
Hi, I had total thyroidectomy in 2017 due to multi-nodular goitre. Since then I’ve had lots of symptoms from flushing, anxiety, can’t tolerate heat, muscle pains etc. I was originally on 100 mg of Levo and I couldn’t tolerate Teva so I asked the GP to reduce to 75. For months went through combinations

Taxanes + Zinc?
New study [1]. The taxane chemotherapy drugs get the name from the yew [genus Taxus]. We are perhaps more familiar with Docetaxel [Taxotere] but Paclitaxel [Taxol], from the Pacific yew, was the first. "Paclitaxel (PTX) is a first-line chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of prostate cancer.{?} However

Frustrated - please help me with my battle plan :)
In the United States... So, last year my daughter was diagnosed hypothyroid. In studying up on that, I suspected I was too - brain fog, fatigue, low basal temp, high bp, insomnia, mild depression among other things. In Nov. I got doc to order labs. He wanted to take a wait and see based on numbers
