QUESTION 1:
I have been taking MOODLIFT with SAM-e
and was wondering what your thoughts on this product
are. While at first I found this product really
helped my PMT, this month I found myself with symptoms
worse than ever!! Is it possible I have built up a
resistance to the SAM-e? Is there, in your view, a
better SAM-e product on the market for mild depression
and PMT?
Answer: I’m
not aware of a resistance to SAM-e but it is possible
that you are using the wrong type of remedy for your
condition. You
should have a hormonal assessment throughout the month
by means of salivary asssays and you also need to have
your vitamin and mineral levels evaluated looking
specifically at the B vitamin group and magnesium.
Imperfect liver function can aslo lead to
hormonal imbalances and may be an added factor that
exacerbates your condition.
QUESTION 2:
I have low testosterone levels and this affects my
sex life and the development of my physical body.
Is there any way to treat this?
Answer: Testosterone can be administered in the form of injections, creams, oral
applications or pellets and you need to speak to your
doctor about the appropriate form of treatment.
It would also be appropriate to treat and
identify the reason for your low testosterone levels
and once again this is something that your doctor
can investigate.
