I have spent 1500 dollars in hormones etc testing before doing hair analysis. Get the hair analysis and do NB, its the only hope. When you do all kind of Glutathione Reduced, Thyroid Antibodies, Reactive Protein, Alpha Linoleic Acid tests with naturopaths theres not much hope only assloads of pills, antioxidants, l-glutamine, levothyroxine, synthyroid and supplements that wont cure or even improve your condition because its a a systemic problem and the whole body its affected. Trust me I have some experience on that. I started in another forum chattering abut hormones but thats f***ing useless I tell you. f***ing useless, DHEA, Estradiol, pooh. If you are rich or lucky enough you will get prescribed/ will pay every month for Hormone Replacement Therapy and thats how you will be "cured" I am 21 years old and I dont want to be injecting myself T3 or eating pregnenolone pills, thanks, plus I have done it before and only got worse.
Every experienced health guru/healer will tell you that hormones are only a symptom of an underlying problem, thus correcting hormones its only a bandaid step for severe cases.
Just some months ago I was talking with another lost guys in the forum about taking high doses of 5HTP, Tyrosine, aminoacid therapy for our obviously depleted neurotransmitters or about taking Indoplex DIM for inhibiting our unexplainable high levels of estrogen in blood tests. Then it evolved to fighting candida and repairing leaky gut and we started posting in thecandidadiet and dreaming about antifungal protocols and eating a low carb diet. I think you have already glimpsed at this point how experienced I am lol
I also live in Europe and I am talking about my attempt with the supposedly famous and supposedly effective Doctor Mouton of France or Brussels.
Hormone/aminoacid/antioxidant/organic acid/ neurotransmitters etc tests were only a waste of time for me, I discovered I was severely defficient and imbalanced in most of the possible things a person can be tested of and that was all. You have a diagnosis of Leaky Gut, of Hashimottos, you have malabsorption, all your adrenal hormones are just soo low in saliva,urine and blood and you are wasting away, your ass bones are protouding, weird veins are bulging in your anorexic abdomen, you are f***ing screwed son, looks like you sniffed gasoline for f***s sake. Take this thyroid medication and this shitty complex for repairing leaky gut that wont work at all and these artificial forms of selenium, vit E, fish oil, flaxseed oil, EPA/DHA liquid rich in arsenic and mercury and pay me a fortune for all these supplements.
If I could go back one year, I would do only hair mineral analysis and Nutritional Balancing, and if I could comprehensive stool analysis, methylation panel and genetic testing of 23andme or Yasko, and if I were rich I would include detoxigenomic genova panel and estrogenomic genova panel. Sucks to realize those are worth the same money I wasted in the tests my poor parents had to pay.
With NB I feel different, I know im improving and facing my real problem slowly. It its steadily getting to the surface my underlying problem of dont wanting to live and I know I have to face this if I wanna cure. And the hair test pretty much nailed my personality and physical problems.
