High zinc levels
Hi all, I have just received from medichecks my zinc and selenium blood test results (the private doctor I saw in relation to my low T3 & T4 recommended I supplemented with these but I'm rather glad I got tested before taking them!) My selenium is 112 ug/l (65-150) and my serum zinc 27.6 (umol/L 11=18

Struggling to solve hypothyroid puzzle, please help
I have had hypothyroid symptoms for as long as I can remember but they have become much worse after an adverse drug reaction 2 years ago. I have tested all the hormones and the only abnormality was free t3/reverse t3 ratio, and somewhat high cortisol. I have subsequently taken t3 only at good doses

Taking a week's dose of Vitamins in one go?
A while ago when I went to see a Naturopath I told her all the vits I was taken (B12, B-complex, D3, K2MK4, Mag, Selenium, Zinc, Ferrous Fumerate + Vit C) and the difficulties in timing. She suggested taking some of these vitamins all in one go i.e. a week's supply of D3. Could you do this? If you did

Sublinical Hypothyroidism?
I have just read the following:- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3746228/ Several reports suggest that zinc deficiency is a cause of subclinical hypothyroidism. We often read of complaints of hair loss with hypo.

Selenium ACE, Selenium With Zinc, etc?
Hi everyone. As selenium is often sold in combination with other nutrients, which would you recommend: selenium on its own; selenium with vitamins A, C and E; selenium with zinc; or selenium with ACE and zinc? Ideally I would regularly test for these nutrients but the cost is somewhat prohibitive! Cheers

Reducing my dosage
My doctor prescribed porcine whole thyroid, T4 andT3, a 162.5 (mg written on the bottle) tablet daily. I am experimenting by taking a tablet one day then a half tablet the following two days. The tablets cost NZ$128 per 100. Very expensive, but I will have to live with the expense if my experiment

Is increasing Levo dose a good idea?
Hi, I have been taking 50mcg of levothyroxine for about 8 weeks. I went back to my GP after a thryoid function blood test 2 weeks ago. I didn't ask for specific numbers but she told me my results were now normal. But I haven't been feeling any better - still exhausted all the time, unexplained pain

This is what a small bottle of soda does to your body
AFTER 10 MNUTES------ 10 teaspoonfuls of sugar will enter your body. This is 100% of your daily need. You won't vomit due to massive amounts of sugar because phosphoric acid holds back the taste. AFTER 20 MINUTES----- your blood sugar spikes and insulin is released. Your liver quickly responds and transforms

Increase Dose (but not telling GP)
Hi I was diagnosed in 2012 with hypothyroidism and am now on 75mcg levothyroxine. Although all my labs show up as fine or in range (never told what they actually are), I still feel comfortable at analyzing tired and aches and my hypothyroid weight was 76Kg. Having dieted, exercised the weight never
