Avatar m tn That’s right, not only starvation, but also lead, mercury, cadmium, and other toxic metals somehow distort the normal flow of thyroid hormones, causing excess rT3 to be produced. We’ve found that when we eliminate those toxic metals, not only do the patients’ rT3 levels go back to normal, but those nagging hypothyroid symptoms go away in the process—without ever even needing supplemental thyroid hormone.

Avatar m tn Eggs and milkshakes (with skim milk) give you additional protein as the same as the protein shakes. The recommended dosage of protein is 1g per kg of weight. Body builders state that you need to build muscle that is why you need the protein. You will need a little extra but not double your weight. Too much consummation of protein and if the body does not use it, it will store it as fat. The side effects of too much protein are taxing to the kidneys.

I say this because you don't mention the name of your disorder or what the doctors recommend, and without knowing what's going on, we can't know what you're able to digest. Perhaps if you tell us more about what exactly is going on it would help.

1059594 tn?1261323966 Hello, My Name Is Josh, I have peripheral neuropathy and we're in the process of finding out why that is. I took a 24 hour urine heavy metals test, I'm not sure if this arsenic is ENOUGH to be causing my neuropathy. Someone stated that beaus lines could be a signal or the poisoning and I remembered 5 months or so ago I had raised horizontal white lines across ONLY my left hand and foots nails, there was a raised horizontal bump where the white lines were.
Avatar f tn There are a lot of good protein powders on the market that are not meant for "muscle building", but protein is the building block for muscle and muscle burns fat. Exercise also helps build muscle, but if you do the right ones, you won't "bulk up". I often use, both, Greek yogurt and protein powder in my smoothies. The yogurt gives you and extra amount of protein, plus calcium, vitamin B12, etc.
Avatar f tn Hi there....hair analysis is good if you can abide by the guidelines....no hair color or highlight for a period of time before, no harsh shampoos or conditioners before for a period of time.

The reason you can't chelate them out is that they are lodged within the filling -- if you chelated it out, the filling would fall apart, but don't worry, you can't do it no matter what you try -- it's very purposefully lodged in the filling so it doesn't fall out.
Avatar m tn s Disease (AD), the cleavage of beta amyloid protein precursor from the intracellular membrane often produces a protein AB-42 which is incompletely removed by normal clearance processes. Over time, this protein is deposited as a beta amyloid protein Aβ plaque within brain tissue, leading to the local destruction of neurons. The Aβ plaque deposition is also believed to provoke an inflammatory response by microglia and macrophages.
