My whole current healing blog is just about TRS it seems - because that is basically all I am doing. I have all faith now that TRS will take care of almost everything else, because once the body is detoxed from heavy metals, pesticides etc, it should be able to heal everything else.
Which is great for my purse too! I spent a fortune every month on supplements! Now with TRS all I take really is magnesium and vitamin C daily, and here and there some taurine, boron, iodine. I still take my binder cocktail in the morning though. So what's new. I still get a bit fatigued when I take it but it is absolutely fine. I am taking some naps now here and there and just take this time as my healing time. Nevertheless I have energy to go to the gym 2-3 times a week. There is indeed a tiny little white half moon growing on my right index fingernail! YAY! I also had a couple of people telling me that I looked very pretty and happy recently - if I had done something. That is really cool, because yes, I do feel happy. Very happy actually. I am great at socialising and getting better and better at chit chatting. I am sooo relaxed, especially around people. I used to be so tense, anxious (autistic). I feel I am getting better and better now with age, ha! I took some cod liver oil again because my hair got a bit more brittle and the keratosis pilaris on the upper arms a bit worse, also the dry heels. A few days of cod liver oil (vitamin A) helped with that! After a couple of meat meals my libido is also doing way better. I had been more on the vegan path lately, but will make an effort again to eat more meat, eggs and fish. My last cycle was 29 days!!! That is sooo cool! My cycles had been regular and pain free and fine but always around 33-34 days. Currently I take only 3 sprays a day. 2 months on and continuing.

Finally got the results of my blood tests!
Let's start with copper/zinc. Copper (serum) is 93 mcg/dl (range 50-140) Zinc (serum) is 70 mcg/dl (range 60-150) Ceruloplasmin 22,6 mg/dl (range 20-60) A healthy copper:zinc balance should be 1:1. Here you can calculate your free copper, and mine was 27.09 %. Everything about 25 is copper toxic, with 10 % being the optimum. Copper Zinc ratio was 1.32 and it states that "0.8-1.0 ideal, 1.25 high (1.20 in Bipolar)." Ouch. It seems I still have some copper issues doing on (not really surprising). High Copper Zinc Ratio On to the thyroid: In the past (2017) I had a TSH as high as 5.79. In January 2018 it was 3.65. My latest blood test (March 2019) showed a TSH of 2.47. So it seems to go down but it is still too high. Now I finally got T3 and T4 tested. According to the Stop the Thyroid Madness guys the free T3 should be above mid-range and the free T4 should be slightly above mid-range. My free T3 is 3.05 ng/ml with a range of 2-4.4. My free T4 is 1.13 ng/dl with a range of 0.7-1.7. That does actually look not too bad, so I hope those numbers will continue to rise with the TSH going down. I have been taken small amount of iodine and selenium daily for the past months and will continue taking iodine. Selenium levels were 17.3 with a range of <25. I don't have selenium toxicity and the number doesn't seem low so I guess selenium is fine. I got homocysteine measured which was 7.12 (range 4.44-13.56) so that is good. Some people with MTHFR mutations have elevated homocysteine which are a risk for blood clotting. Magnesium (serum) was 2.21 mg/dl (range 1.9-2.5). Years and years of daily supplementation! Vitamin B 6 was in range! 11.7 ng/ml . Everything above 7.4 is sufficient. It doesn't seem like Vitamin B 6 toxicity either which I used to have in the past. Vitamin A (serum, for what it's worth) was 460 mcg/l (range 300-860). Now this doesn't show how much vitamin A is stored in the body as the body maintains normal levels in the blood as long as possible. But it shows that stores are not completely depleted and neither that there is a toxicity. I think I will continue the cod liver oil for a while because my keratosis pilaris is so much better but still a little there. On to Vitamin D and here we have the only number that shows a significant deficiency because if even the normal lab results say you are deficient, then you are REALLY deficient. My levels was 29.9 (range 30-80). Many people say a level of 60-80 is optimal. So apparently cod liver oil is actually NOT a good choice if you have low vitamin D levels because the high levels of vitamin A can actually suppress the vitamin D even more. There needs to be a delicate balance between Vitamin A and D (and K for that matter). A good article was published on that topic on the Weston A. Price website. Now why are my levels so low? It's the end of winter here so that doesn't help but I have the feeling I have always been on the low side of vitamin D due to my inability to tan easily. Interestingly enough, I remember a photo of me being the most tanned I had ever been and that was during my raw vegan years. Now eating fish and eggs and taking cod liver oil doesn't seem to do the same which makes me wonder. And then of course I do have the genetic VDR mutation which could explain a vitamin D deficiency. For now I plan on taking Vitamin D drops in addition to the cod liver oil. I am still waiting for the results of my hair mineral analysis. |
