yes, Its probably a lab stuff up for your results.
if you are getting retested though and its covered by insurance getting electrolytes done and a ferritin test (part of iron studies or by itself) might be a good idea anyway.
most guys aren't low on high..most are high if anything, but low does occur rarely...and high needs to be treated too. Just good to rule out as much as possible I think if your levels are out.
I'm hoping to avoid a statin type drug too. I've decided I'm definitely not taking them, but my levels weren't all that bad.Ray posted this in a post above
"The gut and brain hormone CCK needs sulfate to be activated - so MSM can be useful to stimulate the digestion..most studies on CCK are on rats who's CCK works differently from ours.

Also the pathways charts seemed to indicate both iron and sulfur are needed in the breakdown of cholesterol...like I said, wishful thinking here. ..and maybe some correct theoretical logic..can't hurt at least.Jan
