Conditions where the circadian T3 method will not work?

[Paul Robinson]

No but it is unusual to have a mitochondrial issue. The usual problem is lack of glucose flow into the cells which can be tested with a glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin testing during the GTT.

Also it is important to be on supplements to ensure no vitamins or minerals that are co-factors within the cells for the key processes are not deficient. The usual supplements I suggest are:

B complex (50mg of B1-B6) - twice a day with food.
B12 - 500mcg-1000mcg - once a day with food.
C - 500mg four to six times a day - with or without food
D3 - 2500 - 5000 IUS a day - once a day if no kidney problems (higher if low)
a chelated multi-mineral - once a day with food
200-400mg chelated magnesium (has to be chelated) - twice a day with food.

Thanks Paul

What is of particular interest to me is D3 - 2500 - 5000 IUS a day - once a day if no kidney problems (higher if low)

I have proteinuria which I understand is a leaky kidney. I never would have thought taking too much or not enough vitamine D3 (from sea food) could cause me any problems.

Is this something doctors should be aware of?

By mistake, Paul responded to the forum announcement about new posts, instead of in the thread.

Doctors need to take care about vitamin D usage with patients with kidney disease. I don't know if your particular condition is a concern - you will need to investigate. I do know that some patients with kidney disease can be made worse by vitamin D and that it can cause kidney damage that is permanent. You need to investigate it.
