Re: Possible Cushing's, need advice on next steps (Jordan) 8.5 y/o male Boxer
Hi Jenn,
What counts is the amount of SDG that Jordan gets. If he is getting the amount he needs via the ground seed, then there is nothing wrong with using it. My concern, from my own lack of experience with them, would be regulating the dose of SDG day to day. I have used crushed flax hulls but they were ready to measure with the SDG amounts provided per scoop given. The cost factor sent me back to the capsules.
Do you know how much SDG he gets each dose with the seed?
How is he doing? Did you start the Anipryl?
Leslie...if you have a few minutes to share what you're currently using and why, that'd be great, as it seems Jordan and Squirt have some things in common. I finished reading all 45 pages of your thread this morning, so I know some stuff, but not necessarily why.
Missed this, too!
Currently, Squirt is on -
*HMR lignans (spruce vs flax), 1- 40mg daily; 3mg Melatonin 2x a day; and Lysodren, 125mg 2x week - for Atypical Cushing's (melatonin also has the ability to lower cortisol slightly)
*4 drops of Burdock root tincture daily - for liver and gall bladder function
*2 drops of Astragalus tincture daily - for immune support
*1 -100mg PS 100 (Phosphatidylserine 100) - for continued mental acuity and aid in lowering cortisol
*100mg SAMe daily - for liver function primarily, tho is has many benefits
*Salmon oil daily - for inflammation
*1/4 tablet daily of GlycoFlex III - for arthritis
* she eats a diet designed by a nutritional consultant that is low fat, moderately high protein, moderate carbs (fairly high fiber)
Think this is all! Hope this helps.
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
