Question

I'm hoping you can help me out because I've been struggling to get clear answers from the homeopathic doctors who prescribed me Testis siccati 3x. I'm really curious if this medicine actually contains testosterone like what's used in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and if it works the same way as when you inject testosterone. Also, I'm worried if taking this might cause my body to stop producing its own natural testosterone and if there's a risk of becoming dependent on it over time. It's been helpful, but I'm nervous about potentially causing more harm than getting just temporary relief. Could you explain or point me in the right direction for answers?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I used to have a vitamin D deficiency and went through a 3-month therapy for it. Lately, I've been feeling those same symptoms again, so I decided to start taking vitamin D supplements. But after taking the second 60,000 IU dose, I got a test done, and it showed my level at 40 ng. I'm wondering if this higher reading is because I just took the dose the day before, or if this is normal?

Question

I'm dealing with hypothyroidism and could really use some advice on treatment. I also struggle with being too skinny and just can't seem to gain any weight. What steps should I take to address these issues?
