Vitamin D levels should be in the 50-70 range to have good support for the immune system.

Would be nice if everyone could get on the same page with this. For normcalcemic - here are guidelines - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK555967/

I was diagnosed with graves 6 months ago and had my full thyroidectomy What I doubt is that the vaccine was the reason it appeared in the first place...I wish I never took it.

As a new Graves' patient (but scientist in my day job in pediatric genetics) Dr. David Cooper seems like a wonderful physician. I would love an endocrinologist like him. I hope I can find someone who is so eloquent, intelligent, and empathetic to patients!

"Treating mice with 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and feeding them diets high in calcium can completely suppress the induction of experimental autoimmune diseases" Dietary calcium is a major factor in 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol suppression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice, 1999 "Patients had significant reduced BMD [calcium] during hyperthyroid state compared to normal healthy controls" Bone mineral density in patients of Graves disease pre- & post-treatment in a predominantly vitamin D deficient population, 2012 Elevated thyroid seems to be a helpful adaptation to inflammation and results in greater calcium turnover (thus increased need for calcium intake).

Dr. Neumann, you continue to be extremely vibrant and interesting to listen to. Working with you at The Breast Care Center at UHCC, was one of my best experiences and a definite stepping stone to go on to become an Anesthesia Tech and then Oncology nurse! You were a huge inspiration and I am so very thankful that I found this interview and know you continue to inspire others! Jackie Roorda

Thank you from the UK. Very informative indeed.

I went here, at the Norman Parathyroid Center,in Tampa, FL, for my Surgery! They were So Amazing!!! In less than 20 minutes, they removed a nodual from my Thyroid and biopsied all four parathyroids and removed one that was active. I live in CA and during a visit to Tampa, I remembered seeing the Norman Parathyroid Center in the distance, from riding in a car. When my doctor first told me, I would be needing thyroid surgery, I researched the Norman Parathyroid Center. Found out it would end up costing the same if I had the surgery at my local CA hospital. So I called The Norman Parathyroid Center and set up a surgery date! I wanted Experts to do my surgery! It was So Worth it!! Even with our plane tickets, Hotel, Food costs, it came out to cost the same. No need to rent a car, either. The Hotel includes your Charter Bus to and from the Hospital and back to the Airport! The Best Set up Ever! So thankful I chose to go there!!! ❤

I've been dealing with depression since my early 20's, started breaking bones late 20's, dx with osteoporosis with 30. Hospitalized with Congestive heart failure at 34, upon admission i had a near fatal low potassium level of 2.7 was dx as having chronic venous insufficiency and hypokalemia. I'm now 43 and after suffering a spontaneous vertebral fx void of trauma 6 months was put on a high dose of Vitamin D2. And after a second Vitamin d 25 hydroxy serum came back low was dx as deficient. Also 4 years ago i developed hypopigmentation on both sides of my face and neck and a bony lesion on my clavicle. And 3 days I passed a kidney stone the size of a quarter, in the process of passing another one and very painful this time and have yet to be dx bc the last time my PTH was tested it was within normal limits...i don't how much more I can take, Im forgetful, have bouts of dysphagia, and can feel my self getting worse by the day...

there are an alarming rate of cancers after covid this is what happened to me few years ago severe dehydration kidney failure i was able to get my calcium back to normal as it turned out i have hypopara mine is more diet intake and drinking fluids like water all day every day to keep it normal level no episodes of hypocalcemia since worth watchng as diet is the cause of many chronic diseases i found out cam get parathyroid cancer need removal causes hypoparathyroidism very very rare condidton PTH bones stones grones is what i had for 40 years

😍 *Promo SM*

My calcium is 8.1, PTH 269

My first question would be how many of these surgeons are doing minimally invasive surgery? Secondly - where is the reiteration of reading lab results that it should be noted that the lab ranges include children so adults should have >10 calcium level as a normal range. I am glad that she noted that if your PTH is elevated even though in normal range the PTH should be <20.

I had and still have low vitamin D for several years. Any time I try to raise my vitamin D 30>, I get crazy diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, weakness, trouble breathing and muscle spasms and insane dehydration at 800-1000 IU. I have normal calcium, and I doubt that would be the case if I somehow managed to get vitamin D over 30>. I’d have to be suicidal to attempt it. I feel the symptoms of low vitamin D all day every day. My doctors response to testing for hyperparathyroidism is you have normal calcium, therefore no problem. I have Type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

This video was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for making these informative videos.

Very helpful information. Thank you! I strongly believe labs such as Quest and LabCorp Need to STOP calling serum Calcium levels up to 10.6 - in someone, say, 50 years old - as “Normal”. I understand that doctors are busy, but too busy to practice critical thinking? It’s astonishing how many doctors don’t consider - or apparently even LOOK at - the actual values on a patient’s lab report. Rather, they pass any test that hasn’t been FLAGGED by the lab’s software as being abnormal. Also, a doctor who orders PTH without also requesting the Calcium levels, and ideally (also) the levels of D, is NOT doing anyone any favors. Hospitals and doctor’s offices should have their CPOE programs prompt the physician to order the tests properly in the first place. I’ve been struggling with this disease for approximately five years based on copies of my previous bloodwork obtained. The two points I made above are the reason I am STILL undiagnosed. It was not until googling what my elevated high calcium levels meant, while on Forteo for Secondary Osteoporosis (which is contraindicated for people with Hypercalcemia, but nobody bothered checking) and having developed bone pain in my hands and feet, that I became aware that a HIGH SERUM CALCIUM IS NOT A GOOD THING. Before October of last year, I ignorantly assumed that high Calcium was “good” and meant the nightly Forteo injections were working to make my bones STRONGER. Seemed like a reasonable assumption to make - and I never got a call from my doctor, which only helped to assure me that my high Calcium was (at least) not a “bad” thing. Thank God for Menopause Taylor’s youtube channel. It was because of her that I learned I needed to GET OFF Forteo, FAST - and am now armed with the basic knowledge I need to better advocate for myself. My levels have been off since 2018 (calcium ranging from 10.2 to 10.9, PTH all over the map, from 47 to 88). And my Rheumatologist STILL suggests that I have “Fibromyalgia”! AND should go on venous Reclast injections to treat my Osteoporosis. This disease has destroyed me. I have had to quit working. I’ve seen Neurologists, worried that I might have a brain tumor or early onset Dementia. I’ve been recommended anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds by NUMEROUS doctors. I’ve had a neuropsychological assessment. I had an insufficiency fracture of the sacrum three years ago - and until I happened upon Dr. Taylor’s KZbin channel, I had no idea the my elevated calcium levels were a problem. Nobody, in all the years prior, thought to check my Calcium+PTH+D levels. In the last two months, my hair has significantly thinned (40-50% lost, no exaggeration), along with the temple balding which I’ve had for years now. It’s incredibly scary to lose trust and confidence in my doctors, but that’s where I am at. Currently I am on the hunt for the best Endocrine expert and surgeon out there. This video gives me options to look into. Thankyou! The false normal lab reports NEED to go. It’s 2023. Plenty of software engineers would be able to “enhance” the algorithm to factor in age.

Excellent discussion

Great cases. Thanks for sharing

I was on Methimazole for about 20 years and it worked well until about 9 days post Covid Vaccine... then T.E.D. get bad. Then had to get surgery and Orbital radiation. As to if the Covid vaccine was the trigger I will never know but I would guess it was... Wish this was being tracked by the CDC. I have met two other people (one Graves like me and one Hashimoto's) that also said they got T.E.D. about 2 weeks after the Covid Vaccine.... I do not think this is rare as you think... but again I wish the CDC would track this on a large scale. To the best of my knowledge none of the cases I mentioned were reported to the CDC by our doctors..

Main reason for hormonal imbalance is milk please stop consuming milk , u can watch Khaddar Vali videos for that.

I've been struggling for over a decade with issues, kidney stones, mental fog, bone pain, joint pain, Low D, Low Folic Acid, weight that won't come off or stay off, high blood pressure, pre diabetes, and elevated PTH but good luck getting doctors to really look into it. I'm not giving up but its so frustrating and disheartening. I have a mass on my adrenal gland for past 3 years and was thinking that was it but also looking at Parathyroid as well. The doctors seem afraid to even try to tackle these issues.

I had a parathyroid tumor removed 2 weeks ago and still not feeling well at all

I had the surgery done a week ago and I feel like I've been hit by a bus no improvement at all. Uk

I had the surgery done a week ago and I feel like death

Thank you, panelists, for your time and expertise. These events are really important for educating us!

I have calcium of 10.3 pth of 53 vit d3 21.5 osteopenia of the lumber spine ,my doctor dismisses hyperparathyroidism ,i have many many symptoms, where do i go from here ?

Who is the lady that introduced Dr. Chen? Thanks.

God bless Dr okouromi on KZbin, after years of Suffering from hypothyroidism, l am totally free today after using the herbal medications l got from Dr okouromi l am so grateful sir...

I requested for his herbal medicine of wish he prepared and he delivered it to me, I took it just the way he said and behold today am the one giving testimony of him. Am sharing this testimony today because i don't know the type of illness you are under going why not share it with @drebemen01 and be free from the illness.

HERNIA ...YEAST And some other little infection give a try today and get absolute solutions to your problems ... You can call or whatsapp him +2349155284238

Thank you Carrie & the other members of the research committee. It's so great that you were able to make these awards & put out this video in lieu of not being able to do the in-person presentations! Thx again!!
