@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…

@Alyssa besides prescribing antibiotics, did your doctor try to figure out what caused the methane-dominant SIBO?

I’m asking because I’ve seen many cases where patients are put on antibiotics or even natural antimicrobials WITHOUT addressing the cause, and it becomes this never ending revolving door of “killing” and then it returning, leading to…

Hi @LAK – I would strongly recommend that you consider removing gluten 100% for at least 6 months. To the immune system, gluten resembles thyroid tissue (called molecular mimicry) so with each exposure (even if it’s just a small bite), your immune system attacks the thyroid thinking it’s a foreign entity. This is a non-negotiable if you want…

Hi @sheetalramchandani1 – thank you for sharing this case. This is one of those examples where medication may be contributing to the problem over time. Since the largest majority of our immunity resides in our gut (about 70-80%), frequent rounds of antibiotics is going to further suppress his immune system by decimating his microbiome…

Hi @Annie – was your husband able to provide a diagnosis of what it is? Providing us with as much info as possible about your daughter’s health status, and this specific case would help us guide you better.

Thanks

As you may or may not already know, clinical reference ranges are very wide and represent 95% of the population whom do not have a formal disease diagnosis. There can be a lot of symptomatic people within that “normal” range.

If you have your…

@iryna_klevetenko did you get a chance to read through the protocol I shared? She can still work with a Lyme literate doctor – many work virtually. And if the tick was saved, she can still send it in for testing. In the protocol, it also mentions that if someone lives in a Lyme endemic area, it’s probably a good idea to be on antibiotics…

Hi @iryna_klevetenko – sorry to hear that. Was the tick sent in for testing? Is she working with a Lyme literate doctor? Does she live in a Lyme endemic area?

In Succeed>Protocols, you can find a lot more information and guidance in our “Tick Bite: What to Do” protocol including symptoms, where to send in tick for testing and how to find a…

@LAK thank you for sharing the adrenal results from your DUTCH test. Although these are irrelevant now since they were done last year, it does provide some valuable information. Your metabolized cortisol was low. You can see the dial for the metabolized cortisol is all the way to the far left (low side), and so is DHEAs. Metabolized…

Hi @yasminatassi – well done for supporting her overall immunity during this period. If you’re worried, don’t be afraid to take her to see a doctor to make sure her lungs are clear.

In the meantime, there are other natural remedies that may help clear mucous. This Flaxseed Cough Remedy (in Succeed>Protocols) works great for both wet and dry…
