Progesterone levels elevated
07/29/11 at 09:35:48
 
Hi all!
Went to naturopath yesterday and my husband progesterone levels where elevated 230 and should be below 130.
His testosterone was good at 660.
His thyroid TSH was 2.5, FT4 2.2 hisFT3 was low and she recommends Thyrosoothe and silium.

She thought that his liver should be detoxed to try to regulate the progesterone levels but recommended a very mild cleanse with milk thistle and dandelion tea. Have to research that because my husband could be reactive to both and he doesn't do well with herbs in general.
Any ideas why his progesterone levels could be elevated in a 46yr old male?

I don't know much about herbs but I do know that I have had excellent luck with chorella and liquid bentonite clay. Chorella is a heavy metal chelator, Taken internally, liquid bentonite supports the intestinal system in the elimination of toxins. Liquid bentonite is inert which means it passes through the body undigested.
Bentonite clay is made up of a high number of tiny platelets, with negative electrical charges on their flat surfaces and positive charges on their edges.
When bentonite clay absorbs water and swells up, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge. Toxins are drawn into these spaces through electrical attraction and bound. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (2), bentonite clay can reportedly absorb pathogenic viruses, as well as herbicides and pesticides.    
The bentonite is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.
Here is info on chlorella.

Anyways you take the chlorella first and then the liquid bentonite which will absorb all junk the chlorella released.
I took the chlorella in the morning and the clay at night, I did it for 3 weeks and I definetly noticed I was less reactive to things after the cleanse. You know when your sick you will try just about anything that you think will help you feel better or get better. But I'm a leaker not a shocker so it's not as scarey for me to try stuff like this. You said your husband reacts to a lot of things so definetly ask your doctor first if it is safe. It was recommend to me by a naturopath and my chiropractor. I felt no side effects during the cleanse, I feel it was extremely gentle.
If your interested in what brands to use I can give recommendation on what I used.

Wow that clay  sounds really interesting and I would love your recommendation on brands ect. Gentle and slow is key with my husband and anything too aggressive would be too much for him.

I would put needles through my eyes if I thought it would help my husband, I would buy snake oil as well. I know that with natural supplements the brand, fillers, where and how it's made is really important and there are so many out there...so any good reliable brands are really appreciated.

With the chlorella just make sure it is cracked cell chlorella, otherwise it is pointless. The brands I have used are ''Pure Planet'' chlorella, and Dr. Mercola's brand of chlorella which was the less expensive of the two. Amazon carrys both. The thing about chlorella I like is you can start off with just a few tablets and work your way up to the recommended dose of 15 to 25. It really is just vitamins and minerals. The liquid clay I used is "Great Plains" Yerba Prima Bentonite detox, also avaiable on amazon, read the reviews on what people say about it. The thought of drinking liquid clay sounded so weird but it wasn't bad at all, tasted like drinking river water.Humans have been using clay for healing for thousands of years. You know some people don't believe in detoxing but I can't but to think all the junk we are exposed to......some of us more than others, it has to be contributing to our illness and making it worse. All the pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals, etc......pollution everywhere. Just my opinion, not saying detoxing is for everyone or a cure for masto but in general I just think it's over looked by doctors.

Thank you!!! I think detoxing is great if I were doing it but I just know that anything too radical could really mess him up!
I think he's sensitive to chemicals and probably had toxic overload from pesticides, chemicals ect...
His diet is so pure and clean now, but he's missing a lot of vitamins and minerals.
Sometimes he's says when he's on the computer he starts to sweat or get reactive, we have grounding bands that he uses and it stops. We also sleep with grounded sheets to help cut the electro magnetic fields.
Thanks so much  for your information and ill keep you posted!

Hey have been researching both and they sound really good.
My only concern is that the chlorella is algae and is that like seaweed and would be high in iodine? My husband has hashimotos and we are supposed to stay away from iodine because it can further damage his thyroid glad.

I'm still going to to order and maybe hell just do the clay, I was going to try it first and see how my body responds.
Thanks again!

Hey you could just do the clay. I bought clay for the body yesterday and did a clay mask. I totally got all the blackheads off my nose!
You can do pysilluim husks along with the clay, supposedly they have a scraping effect while going through the colon....grabbing gunk that is stuck. Good fiber source but it is like drinking saw dust! Yuck! I bought some vegan gelatin capsules to capsule the pysilluim up in those so I don't have to drink it. But you have to make sure to drink plenty of water with the clay and also the fiber. Good luck. I really hope it helps.
Keep me updated!

Hey just ordered the clay, I also read you could do a clay bath to rid your body of toxins. Thanks for the physslium tip...looking for the capsules.
Go very slow with those since his tummy is such a mess and hopefully it won't scrape too much Smiley!!!
Thanks again for your tips, I'll keep you posted!

I have to tell you the clay mask does tighten the the skin majorly, and it is red afterwards for 1/2 an hour but it does go away. No reactions for me. BUT, I'm not as sensitive as many people.
