Although you
are not experiencing any life-threatening health problems, several important issues have arisen. Your fatigue may be explained by
several conditions, but in your case iron deficiency anemia is the most likely
explanation.
Of particular concern are depression, hidden food allergens, FBD, anxiety and the need for liver detoxification. Fortunately these conditions should be treatable, as detailed in this report. Your comment about bread and vaginal yeast infections has caused me to include information on candida in your report, which may not have shown up otherwise because of a lower score.
Information on cervical dysplasia has been included although you reported it as a historical problem only.
Recommendations can be reviewed and appropriate changes made to help prevent a recurrence. Information on Prolotherapy has been included also because of your TMJ, R knee, R shoulder and L hip. This is provided only for your awareness, so that someday if joint problems worsen, you will be aware of this valuable treatment.
Information on an emotional freedom technique is included since you mentioned
in your notes about some lingering grief and difficult relationships.
Links to red palms are considered in your report, but here is a condensed version in one place:Palmar Erythema: Palmar erythema or "liver palm" occurs in two clinical forms. In the first variety, there is an exaggeration of normal mottling, the hands are warm and bright red, especially on the palm itself, on the dorsa of the hands, and on the fingers and the bases of nails. The second type of palmar erythema is characterized by well-demarcated redness of the hypothenar eminence which gradually spreads to other parts of the hand. The soles of the feel may show similar changes. The mottling blanches on pressure, and when a glass slide is pressed on the palm, it flushes synchronously with the pulse rate. Patients may complain of throbbing or tingling palms. "Liver palms" occur not only in liver disease (cirrhosis and HVC), but also during pregnancy and in a number of chronic diseases such as chronic polyarthritis, chronic lung disease, subacute bacterial endocarditis, chronic febrile diseases, leukemia, and thyrotoxicosis. It has been suggested that palmar erythema in liver disease and pregnancy is due to hyperestrogenism, and palmar erythema has also been ascribed to ingestion of those oral contraceptives with a higher estrogen content. The high incidence of palmar erythema in patients with an alcoholic fatty liver has been blamed on direct effects of ethanol on the vasculature. In a number of individuals the characteristic mottling and blotchy redness are of no clinical significance and palmar flushing may be familial.
A very advanced 'heads up' is being included regarding the cutting edge subject of nanobacteria infection. You will notice this in your report under that subject. Just something for you to be aware of and investigate as time passes regarding possible future health issues and what you may then be able to do to prevent progression.
You are doing an excellent job selecting wholesome foods. Due to your significant water intake and low salt consumption, you may want to add additional salt to your water or food in an attempt to raise (normalize) your blood pressure. The general rule is 1/2 teaspoon of salt added for every 2 quarts of water consumed. Overall, your level of vitamin and mineral supplementation appears to be more than adequate, but may need to be adjusted based on information provided in this report.
Progesterone is usually prescribed by natural doctors whenever levels appear to be low or when natural/synthetic estrogens are also being used. It is important that progesterone and estrogen work in harmony in order to prevent estrogen dominant consequences.
When natural treatments or counseling and support do not produce the needed results in conditions such as depression, prescription medications may be needed. Finding the correct drug and dosage may require some experimentation, but for many people the relief provided is worth the effort and side effects that they may encounter.
Using natural methods along with low dose or intermittent drug use may achieve the level of control you need while producing fewer side effects. For example, supplementation with an omega-3 fatty acid (2gm EPA per day from fish oil) significantly reduced symptoms in patients being treated with antidepressant medications for recurrent unipolar depression. [Am J Psychiatry 2002;159: pp.477-479]
It is good to see that you are exercising sufficiently,
but caution is advised due to your being underweight. Continuing with your Yoga routine would be good,
but instead of so much aerobic exercise, switching to weightlifting, three times per week, will burn fewer calories while assisting in weight gain of a good kind.
For aging well, consider the following general suggestions which were
discovered as being the most important. Get regular exercise, avoid being overweight, get an education, marry and love, be future-oriented, be thankful and forgiving, empathize with others, and be active with other people. Wealth and income aren't on the list because they were poor predictors of success as a human being. Alcohol abuse and tobacco use were devastating. Being somewhat overweight was not as significant as expected - at age 50 it showed up as a problem, but at 70 it just wasn't important. [Aging Well by George E. Vaillant, M.D.]
You indicated on your questionnaire that you do not know your blood type, and none was requested, so no blood type recommendations can be made at this time. When your blood type is known, you may visit our web site here to see the foods recommended for you, and those to consider avoiding.
There should be a few naturopathic doctors in Maine. You may discover if there are any near you by visiting our directory here or by referring to the yellow pages.
Please do no be overwhelmed or discouraged by so much information. Apply the
most significant and easy to understand things and when you are comfortable,
move on to others. I encourage you to return and review your report in the
future when you are ready for more changes.
I wish you well in future relationships.
Sometimes it is best to be very cautious (especially physically) until you know the other party very well, and their motives have had a chance to be tested.
