Bernadette_Abraham replied to the discussion B 12 cause low ferritin? in the forum Lab Tests, Markers & Interpretations a week ago
@naslam1603 I really like the Schuessler tissue salt # 3 called Ferrum Phosphoricum. It’s homeopathic and I’ve found it helps with iron absorption/storage (ferritin). I don’t think I’ve ever heard complaints of side effects since it’s homeopathic and can also be given to babies.
Also consider cooking your food in an iron skillet. You can find…

@Annie Absolutely, 100% yes!! If they’ve never had kefir before, start low and slow to give their microbiome a chance to adjust to the new beneficial strains being brought in.
Usually, it’s recommended to start with just 1 tsp and then double the dose every 2-3 days if a person remains symptom-free until reaching about 1/4 – 1/2 cup per day.…

Vitamin D for three year old and one year old
Hi @Annie – I personally like the liquid vitamin D from Seeking Health, Thorne and Biotics Research. I also really like cod liver oil for children as a source of not only vitamin D but also vitamin A and omega-3 fats.
However, I always try to avoid supplements with children unless I know there’s a deficiency or specific circumstance that needs…

Raw eggs caused sickness and shaking
Hi @Annie – unfortunately, there’s no robust evidence directly linking the consumption of raw eggs to the development of neurological or schizophrenia-like disorders.
Regarding the shaking when he was poisoned from raw egg consumption, severe cases can sometimes cause systemic infections that can affect the nervous system, which can…

Hi @naslam1603 – a ferritin level of 555 is actually quite high and would make sense after an IV iron infusion. In men, a ferritin above 100 could also be due to an infectious dynamic (because the body sequesters iron to stop feeding infections) or due to a genetic condition called hemochromatosis which leads to iron overload. So while it may…

Adenomyosis and Uterine Fibroid
Well done @Bahareh – she’s lucky to be working with you!
Be cautious with the term “adrenal fatigue.” While it’s commonly used, it refers to a severe condition where the adrenal glands fail completely. In her case, the adrenals are functioning properly. What’s happening is HPA Axis dysfunction—her brain is intentionally adjusting cortisol…

Bernadette_Abraham replied to the discussion progesterone or not in the forum Thyroid, Adrenal & Sex Hormones a week ago
Hi @LAK – with hypothyroid function, everything in the body slows down – including digestion and its digestive juices. So yes, it’s very possible to have suboptimal stomach acid as a result of subclinical low thyroid function. That’s why it’s important to address stress and thyroid nutrient deficiencies to help “fire up” metabolism again, as…

Bernadette_Abraham replied to the discussion progesterone or not in the forum Thyroid, Adrenal & Sex Hormones a week ago
@LAK thanks for sharing. I’m glad you did, because as suspected thyroid function (even though you’re on Thyroxine) is still suboptimal. Ideally, I like to see Free T3 in the upper half of the clinical reference range. So based on these results, I’d like to see it above 3.2.
This means you’re having trouble converting T4 to free T3 the…

Adenomyosis and Uterine Fibroid
Hi @Bahareh – your assessment seems to be on the right track, however I’d like to make a few comments to challenge your thinking (in italic):
- Chronic Inflammation (Insulin resistant, Hypothyroid, her conditions: Adenomyosis and Uterine Fibroid) what markers made you assume she’s insulin resistant? And yes, she is presenting with…

@Kkol have I already directed you to the Interpreting Basic Blood Chemistry course before? I feel as though I have…
In any case, I’d encourage you to watch the entre section on Lipids in that course starting with THIS video.
I always suggest a more advanced lipid panel which I also discuss in these videos to assess cardiovascular…
