MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE INFO I'VE RECEIVED FROM MICHAEL8028.
Over the past several months Michael has become a personal acquaintance of mine. He has provided me with the
biggest wealth of information that I have encountered on ANY internet forum which pertains to hormonal issues.
(I have been a member of three other endocrine related forums, and I have to say that NO ONE ANYWHERE,
including on this forum, has been as generous and helpful to me with information and support as Michael
has been). I have followed through with much of what I have learned from him, in regard to both diagnostic hor-
monal testing and treatment of various endocrine deficiencies. And so far, what I have learned from him has
panned out to be RIGHT ON TARGET for me. This isn't my opinion, but my personal REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE that
I am talking about.
In fact, it was Michael's recommended tests for thyroid that led me to discover that I had hypothyroidism,
which is something that 17 DIFFERENT MEDICAL DOCTORS over a period of 25 years managed to completely
miss. Also the protocol that he suggested to me for hydrocortisone, (which he sent me a highly detailed and
referenced description of), has been working very effectively for me. I have been following through with the in-
cremental dosage increases over the past two weeks, am now up to 10 mg, and have not had ANY problems with
it. MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST AGREED that given my sensitivity to medications, Michael's suggested protocol was a
good way for me to go.
Also: My endocrinologist's office has done extensive research on blood vs. saliva testing for hormones, and
it is THEIR EXPERIENCE that BOTH ARE EQUALLY ACCURATE. In one of Michael's past postings, he recommen-
ded BOTH ZRT and QUEST labs. (The first is known for their saliva panels, the second for blood. His main point
was the importance of GETTING TESTED, so as to KNOW CONCRETELY which hormones are not at optimal levels.)
And yes OPTIMAL HORMONE LEVELS vs. NORMAL HORMONE LEVELS is another issue that Michael brought to my
attention, which MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST has also concurred with Michael on. Some of those alleged "NORMAL"
ranges are highly questionable and constantly debated by the so called experts, which has led many people with
endocrine disorder to be left undiagnosed and untreated for years if not decades. Most of us on this forum are
living proof of THAT! http://holtorfmed.reachlocal.net/article_info.php?articles_id=7
In addition to my endocrinologist's vote of confidence regarding much of Michael's information for me, my
acupuncturist has also noticed some significant changes in both my "kidney yang and kidney yin pulses"--just
in the last 10 days since I began the HC protocol. This is very good news for me, as I have been her client since
1987, and have heard all too many times how "deficient" my kidney pulses can be.
What's more I had my first deliberate conscious orgasm two days ago and had zero POIS symptoms. I
went for a 3 mile walk afterwards, slept very well that night, and woke up rested the following day. I think the
HC regimen has proven to be a very good thing indeed! That is, of course, in addition to ALL the many other
supplements and dietary changes I have added over the past several months--for both thyroid and adrenal
support. Some of those changes were for the thyroid issue that I wouldn't haven't known about had it not
been for... you guessed it... Michael!
CONCLUSION: My BIG THANKS go out to Michael for giving the info I needed to uncover problems that had
been left undiagnosed (by medical doctors) for several decades, and to get me on the RIGHT TRACK for healing
them. Sometimes the help you need most comes from the LEAST expected place. Who would have thunk it that I
would be getting the best medical advice I've ever received from a body builder in Scotland!
