@Area-1255 Also, I don't have high E2. It was well within normal range, and the ratio of E2 to progest was normal too. Supposedly SHBG can increase when there is a problem with cortisol though

What about something like Estroblock?

@bruschi11 Doctors in Aus are rarely, if ever, willing to test for Lyme disease :/ The Geneva stool test appears to only be accessible for those in the US, do you know of an Aus equivalent? And my hair tests are in this thread https://hackstasis.com/threads/elisions-health-log.1351/#post-42270

Does anyone have a better understanding of the relationship between SHBG, Testosterone and Cortisol? I thought that usually when SHBG was high, usually free testosterone is low (bound to SHBG) and cortisol is high (trying to stimulate SHBG). Does stress have a relationship with increased SHBG...

@Boris As far as I was aware the supplement recommendations were only given via a practitioner and she wasn't a fan of using their supplements, so we didn't select that option

I was never given supplement recommendations from TEI and the practitioner I was seeing is no longer available

@HerrFisch I'm pretty sure the 2000mg Potassium was the elemental potassium, not the bicarb weight. And I took this because helen talked about this combination being helpful for fast oxidisers (my first hair test said I was a fast 4), and my practitioner at the time agreed it was an ok set to...

To be honest, having my hair fall out really freaked me out. I know my hair test said I was in a real state of exhaustion, but I have been hesitant to really believe it. So I've just kept pushing along, keeping myself going with coffee, skipping breakfast, always finding things to do. But slowly...

@HerrFisch 2000mg Potassium Bicarb (divided doses over the day) 600mg Mag Chlor (also divided) 2mg Copper Glycinate once a day This protocol was done after the first test around Nov '17 until Feb '18 I have also been on a B complex for some time now

My tests so far show chronic low ferritin, which I've tried (along with the help of a practitioner) to increase via diet/supplements (iron/copper/molybdenum) but the highest I've gotten to is 48, so I'm booked for an infusion now. Blood results also show high SHBG and borderline low cortisol...

Hi everyone, I'm starting a log to keep track of my results, diet changes, supplements and how I'm generally going. Would love any feedback if anyone has anything to say. I've attached copies of both my blood and hair results from this year for reference Why I'm here Testing for started last...

My copper glycinate bottle bottle has a white lid, and after having used the lid for measuring a few times, it has tinged it with blue. And when I google 'Copper Glycinate Blue' it comes up with a few websites suggesting it is a blue colour. For example Copper Glycinate (copper Amino Acid...

@gbolduev @mattyb Gbolduev at some point recommend taking Magnesium, Potassium and Copper for a fast metaboliser. When I combine these three supplements the solutions blue. Any idea why this is happening and whether this is undesirable? The mix is 2mg Copper (Glycinate), 2000mg Potassium...

@gbolduev Salicylates lower histidine or histamine levels? Are there any of ways to lower this in a more permanent way? Without constant dietary restriction Thanks for the link, reading now

I haven't heard anyone mention children here so far, but I thought I might put this out there, in case anyone has some input. My eldest, C, is 8. He was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 3.5 Since he was very small he has had a lot of trouble with sleep, and very low stress tolerance in...

Systemic enzymes like serrapeptase or nattokinase may help. They work well for high blood pressue and general blood health/viscosity. we produce less of our own proteolytic enzymes as we age, the the older we go, the lesser we have, the slower we get....

In regards to your statement about never having Fast Oxidizer characteristics, what about as a child? What was your lifestyle back then? How did you eat? How active were you? Were you on any medications? Do you spend a lot of time indoors? I am imagine that for you to have a diagnosis like...

We should keep in mind that these theories were both forumulated by people. Absolutely they could be wrong. The reason you can be a Fast in TEI and Slow in ARL is because the founders of these labs disagree in what should define the oxidizer type. ARL defines your oxidation type based on your...

How are Fast 4 and Slow 4 'almost the same'? A fast 4 is sympathetic dominant, with slow thyroid and adrenals, and a slow 4 is parasympathetic dominant is fast thyroid and fast adrenals. Isn't this directly opposite?

I didn't make the rules, I'm just relaying the information that I have learned. Which says that a slightly underactive thyroid and adrenals are good for slows, and slightly overactive is good for fasts. We are not built to be the same, do the same etc. Some people may just be built to be 'slow...
