Re: Question for TEI Individuals

Interesting, thanks for the information!

I just started to read this article, and didn't know much about the hypopara and the hyperpara on top of the hypothyroid and hyperthyroid... it is interesting these aren't mentioned in ARL or TEI, in fact, I haven't heard much about these two at all.... i wonder if you get the hypothyroid and hyperthryoid in check if you can also get the hypopara or the hyperpara in check and that is why it isn't mentioned or maybe they are completely seperate? I also wonder if they dont mention it because particularly with ARL you always seen to be supplementing with calcium, so testing for parathyroid would be inaccurate on blood tests due to the supplementation?

When I was referring to my test results, I was actually referring to my hair analysis retest not blood calcium results. At the moment my blood tests show hypothyroid based on the thyroid test and this has gradually got worse as I have been supplementing with calcium supplements according to my blood tests. The hypothyroid also shows on my hair analysis from the high calcium level. When I was low in calcium I was barely hypothyroid, as my calcium levels have increased to high on my hair test my hypo has gotten worse both symptoms and on the blood test. I am going to retest my thyroid in a month from now after stopping calcium for 2 months and see what the tests results show, it will be interesting to see if the hypo has gotten better. I have no clue if this relates at all to my parathyroid.

So is the only way you can test to see if your hyperpara and hypopara are out of whack is by completing a calcium blood test? I don't quite understand fully how the hypoparathyroid and hypothyroid are interlinked if at all.

I have actually seen an improvement in my hypothyroid symptoms since I stopped supplementing with calcium and it continues to improve. I know the thyroid can be reversed if you correct the mineral imbalances, so hope that with time and switching over to TEI I will continue to get some relief with my thyroid.... I also know blood tests always defer depending on what time of the month you test and what time in the day, so I think it is easier to just go with my overall symptoms.... I only recently over the last 8 months tested hypothyroid so this has been a new thing for me, I have read many places where this can be completely reversed once you address the adrenals so that is my hope. I wonder if this can be done the same for parathryoid?

It would have been interesting to have completed a calcium blood test a month ago to see where my levels were... esp when I was having all of the negative symptoms from the paramin that I went to the ER for and all of which have almost stopped since removing paramin from my supplementation. Perhaps it was also affecting my parathryoid and the results would have shown high calcium?

On blood test my Vit d levels are at the lower range of the in range, this has been the case this past year and hasn't increased while I was supplementing with Paramin, although it recently increased when I stopped paramin but not by much... I think this is due to me getting more sun outside now that it is summertime.

I will look into testing blood calcium levels in 2 months, this gives 3 months of time for my body being off calcium supplementation to see if perhaps something is going on with the para, although I also need to do more research on this.

Your calcium showed high on the hair analysis before you were supplementing with calcium is that right? Are you now going to complete a blood test to see if this is due to the parathyroid before you start supplementing with calcium? Does ARL have you supplementing with calcium as part of your protocol even though it is high?

Cheers! :)
