I’m not sure what your ”FT4” level is measuring. If that is your total T4 (or Total Thyroxine), normal range is approximately 4.5 to 12.5 (your level of 16.7 would be indicative of HYPERthyroidism). If you are saying it is Free T4, (or Free Thyroxine), normal range is approximately 0.7 to 2.0. It may be different in the US vs UK. Not sure. Your specific laboratory should have made a notation if the values are abnormal. As for your TSH, 3.1 (if it is the same value as US) is actually creeping up to the high side. Over here, the American Academy of Endocrinologists changed their recommenda ...

Minimun daily intake for magnesium is about 400mg and your body will use more under stress. I would at least double your dose or consider adding an oral mag supplement as well.

I find the ...

Do you know how you were exposed to radiation? X-rays, medical dye injections or treatments, live by power plants? Do you live in an area that may be affected by depleted uranium? Cysteine (as in your supplement) protects against some damage from radiation by neutralizing the free radicals it produces. Here are other things that can help with that.... Baking Soda and Dead Sea salt baths, use 1 lb. of each and soak for 20-30 minutes. (what radiation workers use, easy and cheap) Bentonite Clay baths or ingest. Clay is negatively charged and binds with positively charged particles. C ...

I have never heard of selenium cysteine before...that may be similar to a product we use in the US called selenocysteine... http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item00567/Se-methylselenocysteine-SeMC.html Before you do anything more with your selenium, You should have your iodine levels tested. Here is an article explaining (It is done by ingesting 50 mg of iodine and collecting 24 hours of urine. By measuring the amount of iodine excreted in the urine, you can ascertain the iodine status of the body.) http://www.oasisadvancedwellness.com/learning/iodine-deficiency-under-recogni ...

Heavy flatulence is almost always caused by food intolerances or inability to digest foods. Magnesium is a cofactor for digestive enzymes ( like lipase which helps break down fats). So USE your magnesium oil religiously. ”Magnesium is a coenzyme, and one place where enzymes and their respective coenzymes work hardest is in your digestive system. Enzymes help you digest and absorb all the foods in your daily meals, and they must have coenzymes like magnesium to do it. In addition, with ATP, magnesium helps your stomach manufacture hydrochloric acid, so necessary to break down your foods ...

I couldn’t disagree more. I have used Transdermal Magnesium Oil (TMO) for a number of years now and have recommended it to many people for issues ranging from diabetes, chronic fatigue, heart disease and osteoporosis. Magnesium is bulky so they put very little of it in multivitamins. Magnesium supplements are either poorly absorbed or require multiple pills daily to increase levels. Only 1% of magnesium is in the bloodstream. Measuring the RBC levels is a better indicator of adequate levels. People who are ill are generally on multiple medications or supplements. They dread even one mo ...
