can someone check this blood test pls

Your replies are becoming too intermixed with mine and difficult to read. Finding competent doctors to treat deficiencies is not unique to india, its a problem everywhere. Docs come out of school only learning what drug to prescribe.

If you are bound and determined to find a doctor look for homeopathic or orthomolecular but even then many of them lack any real knowledge.

Personally I opted to go it alone and do my own research and treat myself. You really wont know if a doc knows what s/he is doing if you dont educate yourself to some degree and at that point may as well go all in.

ok zyg..

any suggestions on what areas to look for when checking reasons behind high cholesterol,besides diet.

low d3 and high b12 is common with my father too but don't know if there is any co relation between d3 and b12..did u read on the b12 article I posted..is it correct

prolactin,,,have been told by the Chicago doc to go for an mri of pituitary gland,,he feels there is a stalk condition which prevents prl levels from rising too much but the tumour nonetheless exists..will check that..

Your high cholesterol and all of your problems are likely related and they all come back to nutrition or lack there of and possibly toxin exposure which could also be affecting your pituitary.

I do agree with your quote above about high serum B12 levels. Your bodies inability to use b12 is often related to other deficiencies and possibly toxicity, which as I have stated above is also a cause of high cholesterol.

I would consider trying to find someone who can test you for heavy metal toxicity.

Then start an all encompassing nutritional supplement regiment. I would put special importance on high doses of ascorbic acid and glutathione precursors to help with toxicity.

High prolactin can cause gyno and the AI's you listed above wont do anything for it. Your prolactin levels are over 3x the max for men.

You seem to have a bunch of underlying nutritional deficiencies that are causing your whole system to go out of whack.

So, what are common causes of high prolactin in men?

Liver disease (cirrhosis), kidney disease, and hypothyroidism are the most common.

You sya you have high BF, why is that? It can be a result of an underfunctioning thyroid which in turn controls much of the rest of the body and could be affecting your pituitaty. Cholesterol rises for a few reasons, high carb diets, when the body is subjected to toxic stress (which can also cause fat gain by the way), when hormone levels are low and in response to nutritional deficiencies leading to cardiovascular disease where cholesterol is required to prevent arterial rupture.



Thyrdoid in the normal range doesnt mean much. You clearly have low vit D levels which may not be bad because your probably lacking the vit A and K to go with it.

My personal opinion is you should seem out an orthomolecular doc and start an in depth supplementation program to get your body working properly again.

GREAT POST. What is your background ? I learned a lot. I wish my Dr. had your knowledge

hey zyg greetings,

I am following ur suggestions and getting good results..

one concern..i was having limp hair/hairfall and beginning of gyno when my prolactin/cholestrol was high and d3 was low as I mentioned at the beginning of this post..after following a proper supplement regim supported by finasteride and raloxifen I managed to get everything alright..

then I discontinued raloxifen once the pain and dot lump was gone..and after few days once healthy hair was back I discontinued finasteride..the blood report came excellent with prl in range..

now after three weeks I am getting the dot pain back again and hair starting to get limp and thinning..

what could be the cause since I an regularly working out and following the supplement regime minus finasteride and raloxifen..I am assuming that the prl is increasing again and will have a blood test soon..am also starting to believe that finasteride helped me get my hair back aided with ralox which could have inhibited prl in some way..

zyg do u agree with what I think..i don't want to go on ralox and finasteride once again..is there any possible remedy to this recurring thing..help appreciated..thanks

Iodine is an important element in proper skin/scalp health. Ive heard from quite a few people who have halted and reversed hair loss by supplemention with iodine. Selenium should also be used to make sure there are n shortages there.

The finasteride very well may have helped you get some hair back but at what cost. That stuff can totally jack up your HPA. Its happened to many folks and stayed messed up for years following cessation and for others the damage was permanent.

zyg thanks for the prompt reply

I have a supplement that gives 150mcg iodine from 30mg kelp powder per capsule..taking 2 of this and 400selenium..is this good enough...

yes I agree with finasteride...my friend suffered with limp penus for months after discontinuing finasteride..that's why I have switched to saw palmetto but it takes long before effects can be seen..

zyg what do u suggest for this damn pain in the nip issue..its miniscule and at level 1 max being 10..but I know it will slowly reach where it was when I started this thread if I don't start treatment..

zyg have also put on some belly fat in last couple weeks..

diet was proper and supplementation was regular..

can dim by any chance cause fat gain...and subsequent nip pain

also can chaste berry and ginko biloba help if prl turns out to be high

The only iodine supplement I would use is called "lugols solution" which is a inorganic iodine/iodide combination in liquid form OR Iodarol which is a tablet form of lugols solution.

Iodine supplementation based on kelp is not effective, its organic in nature and most things frm the see are full of heavy metals etc.

Also 150mc is hardly anything. Ive been on 50mg a day for the last 6 months with great results. Dr Brownstien, a huge iodine proponent, says 95% of his many thousands of patients over the years are iodine deficient. And that at a dose of 50mg daily it takes an average of 6-12 months for the body to become sufficient.

So if 50MG is 333 times as much as 150mcg then you could reasonably expect to become sufficient in say 333 times longer. So in other words you will likely neve become sufficient on doses that low.

As far as selenium goes, its essential for the control of free radicals etc produced naturally during the production of thyroid hormones and for proper conversion of T4 to t3. Ideally you want to use L-Selenomethionine and for a decent sized guy probably 400mcg a day.

the selenium is derived from selenium yeast..is it ok

also zyg what do u suggest for the nip pain issue..can dim be responsible for this as I have gained belly fat in past two weeks..
