All FAQs
- I have been on iodine for two weeks but my head keeps feeling weird and I need to lie down several times a day.
- What type of thyroid medication do you recommend
- I bought a thermometer and my temperature is 36.5. If my temperature is not low, does that mean I don’t have subclinical hypothyroidism?
- Why do some practitioners say to completely avoid supplementing with folate and folic acid? They say it's dangerous and harmful.
- When during the day is it best to take B12, and do I take it away from the minerals?
- What Vitamin D supplement do you recommend?
- The supplements you recommend contain folic acid or methylfolate in high dose. I don't think it's smart to take folic acid with a MTHFR mutation as well as methylfolate in a high dose. What are your thoughts about this?
- I seem to have a hard time getting vitamin D up even when I supplement and spend a lot of time in the sun. Any recommendations for this?
- When and how should I check on how my mineral absorption is going?
- What do you think of my histamine intolerance?
- My Physician only uses Hydroxocobalamin. I asked for a Methylcobalamin Prescription and I got Hydroxocobalamin. Is that OK? Is that good enough?
- My body temp is between 34-35 even though I take thyroid medication. That is too low right? Could that have anything to do with my fatigue? If so, can I do something to correct it?
- I have been taking the iodine for over 3 weeks now but at different doses and with breaks. I dropped back down to 31 mcg for a few days when I was having trouble, but I am now back to 62 mcg. Is it okay to start on the selenium now or should I wait until I have been taking a consistent amount or higher amount for longer?
- I'm having a reaction from iodine, what do I do?
- Can I take potassium at the same time as the iodine?
- I take 1 drop of the iodine. But I have bad headaches. I really want to keep going and take the selenium now. Should I?
- Does everyone need to get up to 500mcg iodine/day? How do you know when you are at your ideal dose and can stop increasing?
- I will be going on a 16-day camping trip. I will be off everything for the 16-day trip and resume when home. What is the drawback to being off the supplement protocol for this time period and then picking back up?
- Do you look at the heavy metals on the Metals Hair Test that you asked us to get?
- I want to know about the apparently high uranium from the hair test. Do you have any insight in this? I had high radon in my home until last January, could this has made it high? Do I need to treat it? I have found on line that you can soak in a tub of baking powder and Epson salts to assist in this.
