    I think there's one guy at Mayo clinic that may run a bone marrow test, but you have to be having a current flare up for it to test positive... where is everyone else getting diagnosed? I'm currently being my own guinea pig and throwing high doses of quercetin, NAC, bromelain, rutin, resveratrol, vitamin C, HistDAO, and a supplement called Antronex at this problem and it seems to be working so far. Sam-e helps considerably with the brain fog. NAC, acetyl-l-carnitine, and an adrenal complex are helping with the fatigue. Gallbladder enzymes and the quercetin are helping with the incessant, watery stools. Haven't found anything that works for the rashes, though. I use beta methasone cream right before I see my dermatologist so she stops trying to prescribe more harmful medications (like oral steroids, which make me both sui and homicidal). It sucks, praying for everyone here watching this and going through it.

    Great content!!! From what i understand if you take testosterone, your body will eventually return to producing it normally (as it was before treatment) after a month or two... or will it slightly decrease? Question, if i take an average dose of testosterone for lets say 3 months. And once im off the trt.... My bidy eill produce more estrogen. Is thst permanent? Long term? Or just a few weeks short term?

    • @swintegrative
      @swintegrative День назад

      Increased estrogen production is temporary and directly related to the amount of testosterone increasing. The surge in fsh that comes back on (when u stop TRT) increases the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

    Hello and thank you so much for the clarification. I was diagnosed with hashimotos this past March 2024. My thyroglobulin antibody level was 226and CRP 6.3. Doctors ran all sorts of tests to find out what my problem was and discovered this in the end. I currently have the symptoms of hypothyroidism. My doctor decided to put me on levothyroxine 50 mag even when my hormone levels were normal and I have been taking it for over 2 years now. I can't lose weight and suffer from joint pain and fatigue. My doctor doesn't want to give me immunosuppressant medication to eliminate the symptoms. Is it a good idea to prescribe immunosuppressants under these circumstances? Also, I really need to lose 40 pounds but it is just not happening.

    • @swintegrative

    Any ideas on why my son’s CRP level would be 11.2 but the ESR is only a 6? He is only 23 years old, but is experiencing high ALT and some issues with his liver and is currently overweight. I am guessing that the inflammation is being caused by the liver and the fat cells. Correct? I am just surprised that the ESR was not high, as well.

    • @swintegrative
      @swintegrative 3 дня назад

      Check out my newer video on Sedimentation rate there are several non inflammatory things that can influence ESR creating a false negative. For instance having larger red blood cell size or MCV could do this. There are also other things in the serum blood like protein levels that can affect the esr. That video will help break it down but has to do with the electromagnetic field of the blood and red blood cells. Good luck 👍

    Doc i know it's the wrong video but I'm desperate: I've been on and off steroids for years, for the last two years I've been on 150 test cyp per week. I'm going to start clomid and hcg, I'm 35 yo, is it possible to get my natural test levels back or will they come back much lower now that I want to completely stop and go natural?

      Well, unfortunately, there’s no way to know until you actually do it, but taking Clomid and hCG give you the best chance of regaining it. Have you seen my videos on this topic, some good info there if not. The body can do amazing things when u give it the right stimulus. Good luck with it!

    Great video! I think i just found my upper limit of methylfolate. Couldnt sleep and very anxious. I though i was losing my mind 😂

      Yep that sounds about right, haha. Good luck with finding that balance. There are a wide range of responses from methylfolate. So depending on how bad it is, some people stop altogether, reduce the dose, take a break for a few days. Each person is a bit unique but it’s worth putting in the effort to find your optimal though. 👍
