I agree, I think that supportive supplements, diet (weston price I'd always recommend) should come first, along with chelation. I'd be very wary of messing around with much else to be honest. I know it's anybody choice to do that if they want . But I would try anything before doing that.

If your already showing some promising signs on the little chelation you've done, that's quite exciting in itself. I'm sure these glands can start to come back into balance and heal once they get that chance. IF one takes hormones etc, surely this becomes something that one will eventually rely upon and not be able to do without eventually....If they are receiving it elsewhere, could this not signal to the body to produce even less?
