@sheetalramchandani1 if stress is part of her picture, then you know it will impact digestion and absorption of nutrients. This is key for her to work on and reduce.
Secondly, let’s explore histamine intolerance a little closer. With high IgE levels, we know that her body’s immune system is responding to an allergen (a few have been…

Hi @sheetalramchandani1 – I saw these results already. It would be great if they can also check RBC zinc and get a full thyroid panel. Unfortunately, TSH, T4 and T3 does not give us a good enough idea of her thyroid function. A full thyroid panel included TSH, Total T4, Total T3 (which they did) but also Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, anti-TPO…

Hi @Bahareh – I’d encourage you to watch the “testing iodine status” video from the Mineral Balance course. The most accurate way is RBC testing, but it’s not widely available. The next most accurate way is to do a 24-hour loaded iodine urine test (if no Hashi’s or other autoimmune disease). Otherwise, simply a 24-hour urine collection test…

Hi @sheetalramchandani1 – thanks for sharing her results.
A few things did jump out. She is still being exposed to an allergen due to the high IgE level. The tests did pick up a few mild allergens such as milk, cashew and environmental allergens. If she’s consuming dairy or nuts, consider removing those 100% for at least 4 months to see if…

Hi B and Daniel,
Can you please explain to me the results. So, I am iodine deficient. What are optimal levels? Do I need to worry about the low creatinine? Low muscle mass? Or too hydrated? Test was done mid day. Thyroid?
Later this week I have my blood test will look out for kidney markers.
Thank you!

Bernadette_Abraham replied to the discussion MRI & contrast in the forum General Discussions 2 months ago
Hi @Kkol – I was in a similar situation recently and asked the doctor how much information they’ll get from the MRI if it’s done without contrast. He said about 80%. So it’s not entirely useless, but it might miss data that the contrast can pick up.
Ultimately, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons of testing on a case-by-case basis with…

Kkol started the discussion MRI & contrast in the forum General Discussions 2 months ago
Hi B. This question for general information about MRI and when can we opt the contrast. Few years back I have two MRI, one for my knee and one for the neck and in both I refused the contrast. Of course doctors say it’s more accurate with contrast.
Can you please tell me if the MRI is useless without contrast? Or it’s a must in certain area of the body?

Reply to B 12 cause low ferritin?
@naslam1603 I’m speaking to him to see if he’ll speak in December or January. With the holidays, it’s hard to get a commitment from guests during these months.
Regarding the iron spray you shared, the forms of iron aren’t ideal.
Ferric ammonium citrate and ferric sodium EDTA have low to moderate bioavailability and prolonged use of EDTA’s…
