Sunshine Clinic experience

Hi, everyone.

Sorry it's taken me so long to post this. I am always overwhelmed, and I am not even working. I am not sure where to put this post. I hope this is attached to the previous conversation I started about Sunshine Clinic in Knoxville.

Anyway, I am not sure what to make of the visits. I went for the 4-day Lyme treatment for $1,500. I can't really give details of the four days because there is just too much to tell. Dr. Sunshine is a very kind and caring man. He spent 1 1/2 hours with me minimum each day. He did chiropractic adjustments on and lots of muscle testing to diagnose and fix problems he found. He had me cold lasered twice for borellia infections he had found using the muscle testing. I did a ionizing foot bath one day. I had a Zyto test and a HeartQuest test done. He didn't use these in my treatment. They were used to prescribe homeopathic stuff and some supplements, all of which they sell there. Based on muscle testing he said my body also needed iodine and acetylcholine. I told him of my eye photosensitivity, and he said I needed vitamin A. I've been taking that and it's doing nothing. The eye photosensitivity is from the Lyme and not a vitamin A deficiency, as he seemed to believe. I am still skeptical, but I am willing to continue giving him a shot if I can raise the money to go back.

He wanted to know my every symptom, and worked on all of them every day, especially the skin photosensitivity. He did a lot of muscle testing with various substances to see I was reacting to any of them. He figured out that my skin was reacting to chymerase (?). I can't remember the word exactly. But he said he fixed it with muscle testing.

I have to check with a doctor first about taking large doses of iodine because I have long-standing hypothyroidism. I have started taking a low dose -- 150 mcg of sea kelp iodine. I just upped it to 300 mcg today. I think it's helping my low body temp. but not sure. Something is making my temp go more toward normal, but it it still low.

From Sunshine Clinic, I am also taking these homeopathics from FuturePlex: Nu-DRCTN and Protomer, which I have yet to start.

So, I don't know. Let me know what you think. And Loutucky, please let me know of your experience there!

I recently started taking teasel root tincture under my herbalist's guidance. I hope it helps. Also taking lion's mane for my neuropathy. And licorice root powder and bupleurum root powder.

Thanks for reading this and for your support.

Thanks for asking. Last time it was checked, TSH was about 1.7. Current endo doesn't test anything but TSH, if you can believe that (newly trained too). Long story why I'm with him, but will be seeing another doc soon who will do the proper testing. Good point about the immune system suppression.

Do you know if it's true that T3 can cause osteoporosis? I have osteoporosis and I am only 51.

Thanks again!

I've heard that too. Thanks, Girlie.

I don't see why it would so long as it is in a healthy range, but I'm just speculating. Vitamin K might be important for preventing fractures in people with osteoporosis.

FT3 tends to be below the optimal range in people who are chronically ill, regardless of whether they have thyroid disease.

This is why she needs to have the FT3 tested

My FT3 has been in optimum range since I’ve been ill - guess I’m lucky.

Good luck at the clinic.....please do update us on your progress....

T3 supposedly is harder on your bones because it delivers a strong punch of the hormone when you take it, as opposed to T4, which is much less strong and has a much longer half-life (lasts longer) in your body, if that makes any sense.

I replied to the question where someone asked about the clinic and shared my experience. Short...read my reply. I would not waste my money.
