Update.
2+ years med free.
I'm doing amazingly well. Here is an update on my current regimen.
1. Niacin 1,000 mg, b complex 50 mg, vitmain c 1000 mg 3x per day
Blood work: uric acid, liver function panel
2. Vitamin D 10,000 IU per day, combined with regular sun exposure following Dr. Hollicks "sensible sun exposure" recommendations
25-OH-D, 50-80 ng/mL range
3. 1.5-2.5 teaspoons of (unrefined) salt daily (to turn off/reduce the body's aldosterone (a sodium preserving hormoone) production
4. Iodine, Lugol's 2%, 20 drops per day
Full thyroid panel
5. Probiotics - glutathione producing (Regactiv), soil microorganisms (NOW Probiotic Defense)
6. Exercise
All blood work every 3-6 months. You should check with your health insurance first to make sure it's covered. Second be excessively nice to your doctor and nicely pushy to "encourage" them to order it. Or find another doctor.
That's the important stuff, I've also been eating a raw diet. Lot's of veggies, fruits, generous amounts of raw eggs, pastured/grass fed meats, wild fish, and of course lots of animal fats.
Other less important stuff
Magnesium chloride about 700 mg per day
Fermented cod liver oil
1000 mg methylfolate
I'm sorry if I've been harsh, rude, disrespectful. Thank you for your help. As you can imagine it's been incredibly complicated going through so much research to optimize my regimen. Sometimes it could be frustrating, however I've gotten through it gracefully and in one piece. Again, sorry if I've been inappropriate.
