Any idea why I might be getting pain/numbness behind my eyes, like a slight migraine? The entire orbital bone around my eye has taken on a purple colour, and my eyes are very deep set, its like my eye sockets are sucking my eyeballs backwards, pretty much makes me look like I use meth or some other drug.
It is 100% not related to family history.
I also asked you twice, once I get whatever tests I need in august, will I know "everything" that is wrong biologically or will I need to look into other things still afterwards?
But I can get "all" of this analysed with dr mouton right?
I get the impression I could walk in and say "well I think its this or that", and then they will test for that and if it isnt it they say im fine...
you see what im getting at?
:/
Well im willing to do what it takes to find "everything" that is wrong with me physically, but that might leave me with no savings left.. I have about 2k saved.. I dont want to spend all that and bloody tests though man.
I just want to know the problems, and then work at containing them or take whatever I gotta take to suppress the symptoms/byproducts.
does that make sense?
Are you saying he might over prescribe me supplements then? ... Why would I overdo it with supps?.. What I was saying before, is will these tests cover ground on everything it could be? I know resolving them is a different matter (which is what I assume you mean is expensive, but how exactly?)..
He will do phone consults with you i am sure. These are all the things which should be check before making decision. When you buy supplements from brand such as those they are crap and you get what you pay for. You can use iherb.com and get much the same brands. I never sell my clients any supplements. If I do I give them to them at reduced price or even cost. Many companies I send them same innovice so they see I am honoring my word. One needs to look into what type of budget you are dealing with in order to make necessary modification.So to correct those pathways is it usually supplements that are introduced? Dpes it have to be supps bought from mouton or once I know what they are could I just go somewhere like holland and barrets because otherwise it will be expensive I imagine.. And should I then be taking them for life? Or just until levels are ok? And how do you know when levels are ok further testing? If thats the case how frequently should one get tested?
im wondering if its one of those things where I have to go back to london every year or so.. I dont really want to do that.
Well he clearly doesnt offer phone consultations because he didnt offer me one,his secretary just booked me in for august 1st..
as long as their is a "decent" site I can order from that is reasonably priced, but surely id be better off eating certain foods? And supps are only required if im lacking a certain vitamin arent they? Has nothing to do with being toxic..
The Matrix said:2K should be enough
dr mouton
nutra eval
follow up appointment
Just be careful not to over load you on supplements ..
I normal can get done for well below that. Just getting the test and information is the biggest challenge.
Hey, havent updated in a few weeks, got my apointment next wednesday..
Just wanted to ask, "be careful not to overload on suplements" how many supplements should I be taking? Is ideal? Im not a big fan of taking lots of supps anyway, but will obviously take what ever it is I need.

Do you know much about plants in the home?
As in to oxygenate rooms?
Its been hotter than Greece in the Uk today!
And the air/humidity whatever it is in this room is ridiculous, cant sleep lol.
Got one of those hygrometer's for mositure level and its bang on 50, so technically it isnt humditity that is the problem but probably a lack of oxygen is..
Do you think its bad to have a lot of electrical equipment in one room? (in this case where one sleeps)..
Ok, was tired when I got back last night, and somewhat overwhelmed by my results...
I don't have Coeliac disease (so thats a start), and I'm not "Dying".... thats about it for the good news really..
Ill start with written comments that were made -
- Before complaining about the endocrine deficiencies, we should criticise the lack of fats, would it be catastrophically low cholesterol levels or massive deficiencies in most fatty acids.
- We absolutely need replenishing these crucial nutrients for the nervous system (brain is made up of 60% fat) and for the endocrine system.
- There will be no testosterone or cortisol synthesis if we cannot start from a cholesterol molecule, the only available building block for producing all steroids.
- We provide detailed dietary recommendations throughout the results: please comply strictly with them!
- Regarding the adrenal function, very low level of glucocorticoids represented by urinary 17- hydroxisteroids deserves the intake of the precursor pro hormone pregnenolone, plus we must give loads of coenzyme Q10 (CO-Q10: 1 and if possible 2 capsules daily).
- We also support the thyroid gland with natural extracts (ARMOUR THYROID) and cofactors (IODINE, THYROID SUPPORT COMPLEX, and IRON).
Stuff that has been circled on the report, numbers in brackets are the normal range the lowest being the absolute bare minimum.
Hematology
Folate - 3.87 (2 - 12)
Iron - 74 (60 - 160)
transferrin saturation - 22.22% (25 - 50)
Ferritin - 48 (50-240.pt and 30-240: V.N.)
Renal function
Uric acid - 5.1 (3.4-7.0)
Hydro-mineral balance
Ionised calcium - 40.4 (40 - 52)
Erytrocytair Magnesium - 4.10 (range is 4.40 - 5.80)
25 Hydroxy-Vitamin D (this was all taken in the middle of summer btw) - 24.1 (30.0 - 60.0)
Lipid metabolism
Total cholesterol - 106 (120-200) It was noted on this one that I need more seafood/oily fish or ghee butter.. I eat a lot of fish however..
HDL cholesterol - 58 (40-109)
Fatty acid status
Low in all of them!!
Protein metabolism
Immunoglobulines - 293 (71 - 360) think the optimal is more like 300 as opposed to 360 though,not sure...
Antioxidant status
Vitamin A - 57 (43 - 111)
Beta-carotene - 166 (75-500) ..........apparently I need "MORE" coloured vegetables........
Coenzyme Q10 - 283 (670 - 990) so basically very very low!
Selenium - 95 (90-143)
Zinc - 117 (84 - 135) so IDK if this one is a problem, doesn't look like it.
Endocrinology
TSH - 2.22 (0.3-4.5)
T3 free - 2.94 (2.1 - 4.2
T4 free - 1.16 (0.7 - 1.8) so this one is over?... btw both T3 and T4 were marked as being a cause of stress!
Testosterone - 3455 pg/ml (3000 - 10000) mine should be double what it is apparently.. so I was right about my T levels..
Urinanalysis
Iodine - 28 (100 - 199) g/L
Iodine - 84 (170 - 280) g/24h
Uric acid - 636.0 (250 - 750)
Potassium - 57.0 (35 - 128)
Chloride - 108 (110 - 255)........I need more salt/seasalt for these..
Calcium - 216.0 (140 - 280)
Magnesium - 141.0 (60 - 120) so a lil high?..
Urin endocrinology
.T3 - 829 (800 - 2500)... stress! in brackets again..
.T4 - 1930 (550 - 3160) so this is ok.
tOTAL 17-OH-steroids - 3.51 (6.10 - 11.70)
6-sulfatoxy-melatonin15.6 (15.6 - 58.1) stress!!! in brackets!
IgE 39.8 (20 - 100) - ok.
Specific IgE -
lactoglobulin - 25.50
casein - 15.70
bannanas - 44.80!!! Apparently I'm allergic to bannanas?? I have never had any kind of adverse reaction from eating them.. also avoid dairy and all animal milk (at least for a while but I'm happy to avoid it for life as its easier for me).
Finally for my fatty acid status I was given a bar chart which was kind of confusing, but things like "Walnut oil", Flax seed oil, Hemp seed oil, oily fish, meat and ghee butter were noted no the chart... I consume a lot of tinned fish but I guess I would usually drain the can, I also consume nuts like almonds walnuts etc.. and sometimes peanut butter.... The general consensus however seems I AM STILL WAY TOO LOW IN ALL FATS, including both Omega 3 and 6.
Just to break it down:
Mono unsaturated (need more olive oil)
palmitoleic acid - 13.6 (18.5 - 88)
Cis-Vaccenique acid - 32.3 (33.5 - 80.7)
Oleic acid - 439.2 (471 - 855.2)
Acide Gadoleique - 8.8 (5.2 - 12.3)
Poly unsaturated (need more omega 6 and 3 via walnut oil, flax, hemp, fish is best, ghee is an option)
omega 6 -
linoleic acid - 555.1 (614.7-954.5)
gammalinolenic acid - 1.2 (1.9 - 5.7)
dihomogammalinolenic acid - 42.5 (80.3 - 202.6)
arachidonic acid- 205.7 (314.5-430)
docosapentenoique acid - 8 (5.7 - 16.1)
omega 3 -
alphalinolenic acid - 12.7 (10.2-34.5)
eicosapentaenoic acid - 64 (35.7 - 175.9)
docosahexaenoic acid - 155 (142 - 326)
The worst result overall is extremely low cholesterol due to lack of fats
Coming back to one of the written comments on the report "The only available building block for all steroids and/or cortisol synthesis is the cholesterol molecule"!
Co enzyme is very depleted, you need co enzyme to make energy, it is said I may want 200mg as part of treatment as opposed to 100mg as it is very low, but I must consider budget.
My iron level is low but I'm not anaemic...................yet.
Magnesium and potassium is low and I need a strong vitamin D capsule, Cortisol family is completely shot/stressed, and nowhere near where it should be.
Selenium is low and Iodine is so low I need two different sups for this in the form of Iodine, and a thyroid support complex..
My thyroid is borderline, and I'm not Hyperthyroid, but I am "Close" to being so..
My melatonin is exactly at the bottom of the range.
Treatment proposed is a "4 month" plan of field treatment, fatty acid, glandular support, antioxidant and intestinal treatment.
There are about 12 supplements I need to take during the 4 month period once I start.. 10 of them I can get online or presumably from holland and barrets or whatever, however "Pregnenolene" and a complex known as "Armour thyroid" I need to order from some belgian pharmacist because they are American.... (yes you read that last part correctly).
So that about covers everything I think. They said there were perhaps a few other things that could be tweaked but there are that many issues with my body that I need to focus on the primary areas of concerns listed.
Still have malabsorption issues which need to be dealt with . Just because you do not have celiac "(which 90% of the GI drs miss because they only take the bare minumum samples from only specific regions) does not tule out other food intolerance such as gluten, diary, and soy. I just established a great relationship with GI Dr in NYC which is one of the most open minded GI dr I ran into. We are working together on a case which is basically a woman wasting a way with no explanation. When it comes to the Gi tract and these conditions, I am one of the most experience people looking out side traditional medicine as well establishing relationships with other medical professionals.
threeFs said:My cholesterol is also low. I believe mine is low because I eat (was eating) a ketogenic super low carbohydrate diet for too long, almost 2 years. Carbohydrate tells the body to produce cholesterol, contrary to what many people believe. Eating cholesterol in things like animal proteins and egg yolks actually has very little effect in raising blood cholesterol. When total cholesterol is low, all hormones will be lower since they all depend on cholesterol for production. Also a diet too low in fat will cause problems as well. I've started drink "bulletproof coffee" that you can search for. Basically high quality grass fed butter (high in n3 fats) and medium chain triglyceride oil (mct oil) added to your morning high quality organic coffee. Check it out and consider eating more carbohydrate and green vegetables, more fat from animals and nuts, and quality vitamin d supplements.
This is all too familiar to me, as my situation is quite like yours.

Thanks for posting your results. Very interesting the things you were tested for.
I don't see where they came to conclusions about cortisol issues as i can't see where they tested it. Very interesting that thyroid has been highlighted, I've had similar values for my tsh and wonder if treating that would improve well being, i need more testing first though.
Can you post up the supplement and dosage recommendations. I wouldn't buy anything from Holland and barratt, its all over priced and low quality. There are a few good online vendors that supply American brands, amazon can also be good
How much did your consultation and testing cost you in the end ?
No problem, I may be posting a scanned copy of my full report later, along with supp recommendations so stay tuned.
Thats a shame about Holland and Barret considering they are the most local :/ ......
You can put all the high performance fuel in a volkwagen, unless you change the engine you will never get the desired performance
Food intake is only 25% of total cholesterol production, other 75% comes from your liver, or from proper break down of Gi tract.
Eating eggs will not increased cholesterol unless you improve your absorption and bile flow. There is no way around it. 75% or greater of medical disorders (non structural) come from GI and liver imbalances...
One word you are "TOXIC"
Any Dr willing to give thyroid meds or DHEA in this state should have their head examined...It would be distasterous.

To get closure, common sense is the most logical choice
I agree, however..
1. Why are your minerals and nutrients low ? Answer : Malabsorption
What makes you think they are low when I haven't posted the full report yet (if I choose to)?
2. why is your thyroid and probably adrenals function Answer Malabsorption and inflammation
thyroid is not low, I'm supposedly borderline hyperthyroid not hypothyroid.. you can tell that from my oldest posts alone.
3. why can not you absorb fat? Answer malabsorption
seems to be half dietary and the other half malabsorption
4. What is causing malabsorption ? Answer food intolerance, dysbiosis, and inflammation of GI walls
what food intolerances exactly?.. I scored moderate for lactose and casein but I havent touched dairy or bread for at least 2 months now.
For dysbiosis don't I have to have been abusing my body via excess antibiotics, drugs, alcohol etc?..
inflammation symptoms are mostly the post nasal drip/mucous in throat issue, I have noticed the more vegetables I eat that I can often become constipated however, and this is a new finding as I'm eating more veg atm, have been for 2 months or so.. no pain etc though..
5. Why is cholesterol low? Answer Lipid malabsorption or inflammed GI tract.
agree
6. What is causing lipid malabsorption ? Answer improper bile flow or decrease in pancreatic enzyes
so affecting cholesterol absorption, gotchya..
7. What is causing liver issues ? Answer Altered methylation which is needed for proper bile flow. 95% of blokes have piss poor genes..since most of people Ideal with are from UK.![]()
what causes altered methylation?
Why I am in the process of working to bring this approach over to UK with Dr Mouton. Over in the US here, Doctor's cases I have worked on are seeing a major turn around in complex patients. Another 6 months to a year this approach will be standard. I already have made it standard in all my cases.
ok so does that mean in mainstream medicine or just amongst private still?
Correcting 7-->
6,5,4 will correct 3,2,1
don't know what this is..
As I said before over and over again Balance liver and Gi will resolve most of our health issue (75% or better).
nope.... not to me you didn't, but while were on the subject how do you go about doing it?
After speaking to some of the worlds best CFS drs. In these situations, I would avoid vitamin D until proper testing of vitamin D 25 oh to vitamin D 1,25 was completed to make sure you are not being pushed into a pro inflammatory state. When it comes to low cholesterol levels I am probably one of the most knowledgeable people. I can site journal after journal on low cholesterol and its impact on health. Cases such as yours are extremely common here in the US..
OK... which is it?.... am I Hypothyroid or hyperthyroid? going off the results above... I would have thought the latter since I'm a low bodyweight and not the opposite..
Also is Celiac serology usually accurate, or does that cater to some of the 90% of ****ty testing you mentioned?
my diet is fine, my water intake is fine... I'm allergic to bananas ... well I've been told this could be leaky gut syndrome making it look like bananas are to blame..
Cant even tell if your being sarcastic.
Cant even tell if your being sarcastic.
mumbles12 said:No I certainly aren't considering the context. And no I don't care why it is you think I'm being sarcastic about either.
Look.... your confusing me more than you are helping and its frustrating, plus its hard to tell what you are saying how you type you must be on mobile or something, but ill get the full report up "AND THEN... AND ONLY THEN", will you be able to say whether or not it is comprehensive enough imo..
Surely you have seen reports of people who have been to DR M before though if you know him?
How about uploading the report to a file hosting site. Of course do not include personal identification details. Still interested in how Much all this has cost you
