Megadosing Vit D3 to slow down my prostate cancer
See my below history and how D3,K2 (MK-7), Magnesium, and Omega 3 gems (Norwegian Fish Oil, Omega 3 fatty Acids) may be stopping or even regressing my prostate cancer. In May of 2009 after a sixteen needle biopsy I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I was 63 years old. The pre-operative pathology

HDL cholesterol low. What does this mean?
Hi, I am not sure if I’m in the right group but here goes. I’ve been having blood tests for different reasons and today I asked for a print out. So I have received that today and it states Serum HDL cholesterol level 1.2 ‘LOW’ I have no idea what this is or what this means as the doctor haven’t said

Subtle reminder that I should be taking care of myself....
Went to the theatre to see a show.... The gentleman sat next to my husband asked him if he'd heard of lupus? And explained that he'd recently lost his wife (aged 68) who had lived with it for 40 years but suffered five strokes.... I've been eating rather a lot of my sons home baked cakes recently and

The Best Measure of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
For the past 50 or so years, the medical community has psychologically conditioned their patients (and media) to focus their cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk-reduction strategies on lowering total cholesterol and more specifically LDL-C (lipoprotein cholesterol volume). Research done over the last 10

Help with results before seeing GP
Hope you can help with my latest results. I currently take 25mcg thyroxine and have for a while.

Help deciphering DNA and blood test results please anyone?
Long post alert. Apologies. I had thyroid cancer in 2013 treated with surgery, RAI and ongoing TSH suppression. Due to DNA results showing a likely problem with conversion (although bloods always normal) I recently upped T3 to 40mcg and lowered T4 to 100mcg. I actually feel worse. I'm also Homozygous

Cholesterol - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - a medical Furphy blindsiding unsuspecting patients
I would like to state that there is NO SUCH THING as Bad or Good Cholesterol, we are being brainwashed by manipulators. The reality is: there is HDL (which comes from our diet) and LDL which is made by our liver. Both are essential for our health. Problems arise when HDL is low and can't manage to 'ball

Atorvastatin

My cholesterol level has gone down in this period from 5.3 with a reduction in dosage to 40mg 3 months ago. I had a cholesterol test last week and it has gone

Hi. I’ve been diagnosed an underactive for a few years now and am taking levothyroxin (75mg) . I often feel like there is a lump in my throat - not always, it comes and goes - but often feel tired. A few years ago I did an adrenal saliva test that showed I had adrenal fatigue. I am menopausal. My GP

Please help with my tests result, need advice and opinions.
Dear members I would like to have the others opinion of what should I do now? I have Hashimoto. I ve stopped taking the levothyrox ( dose37.5) for 1 year since the french health authority has introducing the new formular of levothyrox which has been causing many problems to other patients in France.
