How is this improved greatly? this is 4 lows))
fewer outliers was my very fast way of thinking :)
And yeah, prices are insane. Especially if you realise most ingredients are cheap ass in wholesale.

@barbaar this is insanity WTF

this is also in euros. this is 400 dollars a month. they are ripping you off.

Adrenal complex is 29 dollars, in your program it is 70.

this is criminal.

practitioners cant raise prices on supplements. that is simply insane.

Well that sucks :(

I really wanted to go through Catherine this time, but she can't do TEI tests for people in the Netherlands because these guys apparently have an exclusive contract...

it is stupid to pay these assholes.

I have no idea why they do this kind of stuff. you can easily buy supplements online for much cheaper.

Trace Nutrients Supplements from Trace Elements Inc | Hair Analysis

I bet you can get it even cheaper. Look it is 29 dollars here for adrenal complex. and they charge you 70

I now hope you realise why these programs are a pain in the butt for us Europeans. Three cycles costed me 1800 bucks while results are very iffy.

Wow, buying a month of supps would be literally half the price there. These haartest.nl guys also alter the program, "clean fulvic" is one of their own supps, not something TEI has if I'm not mistaken. Guess we can add them to the "avoid" list

That's why I went with ARL (biocoherence). Pricey, but the exact same supps and recommendations as overseas.

That's what I'll do next time. Tired of these assholes ripping us off.

Anyways, if this is four lows, does that mean my current program (mg + Bs + iodine + probiotics) is not what I should be taking?

from THE FOUR-LOW ELECTROLYTES PATTERN
For example, medical and even holistic doctors often give these clients adrenal support, herbs for the adrenals, B-vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium or thyroid hormones. They may do this to improve their energy level and perhaps if the serum thyroid hormone levels are low. This approach will fail with these people, are the person may become more ill.

I'll send my test to my doc as well, see what she thinks about it.

@barbaar you know what I was thinking

IN your urine it is shown that you are are losing sodium big time, all sodium is just being lost. in the urine.

I was thinking what if you load up on sodium HUGE , just like Troy loaded on potassium and keep it for a while

your body will learn how to live with it then

Cool, I'll give that a shot. And keep an eye on my blood pressure, which was already a little too high.

Although it might not be a problem: High blood pressure: Sodium may not be the culprit

because serotonin transporter first binds sodium, then bind serotonin, and then binds chloride. then in the cell it flips back when it binds potassium.

Mechanism of Action of the Serotonin Transporter

So I guess, if you took SSRI. then this mechanism was reversed. Body was trying to stop serotonin transporter bringing serotonin into the cell , thus increased sodium excretion mechanism

and now this mechanism got stuck. although you dont have enough serotonin in the cell anymore since you are not on SSRI.

but serotonin is not being delivered into the cell

Ah so without sodium, chloride, and potassium SERT will not work correctly, and I'm assuming serotonin would stay high (and/or insensitive)?

without sodium, you cant deliver it into the cell.

you had high cell serotonin on SSRI. this probably increased sodium loss to lower serotonin delivery.

Then you take off SSRI. and boom there is no serotonin and no sodium to deliver new one.

I think this is what got stuck

If SSRIs block SERT, wouldn't that mean serotonin would be higher outside the cell and lower inside since it's transport to the inside of the cell is blocked? Apologies if my view is too simplistic. I'll read up on that site, seems like there is a lot of useful information on there.
