Re: Digest Number 1167- heart pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Dottie,

Hopefully the others in here that have way more knowledge will post

also, but really you need to get to a doctor and you need to be on

medication. You say you don't have healthcare, I don't know how it

works over there as in OZ we have medicare - general doctors are free

and specialists you pay full price up front then you can claim the

majority of it back. Even if I had to pay full price for the endo I

would because its my health at risk..you can't put a price on

something as serious as this. You have been lucky not to have major

problems up until now, but do you know hyperthyriodism can kill you

if you leave it untreated! As far as I know everyone that has Graves

etc, and are trying to help heal themselves are doing it while taking

meds not in place of meds.

Take care,

Kitty

Anyone know any natural remedies?

Dear Dottie,

It is very important to take ATDs to normalize your thyroid hormones, and

beta blockers for your heart. This will stabilize you and keep you safe while

you pursue natural remedies. Please go to iThyroid.com for these, including

eating lots of tofu (soy) products, broccoli and cabbage. Read up on

supplements

as well as nutrition.

Take care,

Dottie,

I was looking back through the archives, and one of your posts caught

my attention because you asked about hyperthyroid goiter:

hyperthyroidism/message/13200

Dottie, after reading that post I'm very concerened about you. That

was posted in June last year, and you are still not getting treated.

After reading the part where you say...

<I'm hyperthyroid (doctors say I have been probably all of mylife)

and now, at 32, have a goiter which of course, the doctors want to

remove or nuke, and I REFUSE to do either as my conscience tells me

they are both very dangerous.> and

<The doctor wants to put me on Tapezole, but now I'm scared

I may get symptoms from that. Blocking what is natural sounds a bit

risky to me> and you go on to mention heart pains!

it sounds to me that you are against anything medical. Being against

the RAI is one thing (I am too), but going against the tablets

because its not natural is another. You also say you have

endometriosis. Dottie you can't go on avoiding treatment, please get

off the natural kick which doesn't seem to be doing you much good,

does it? and go and get some meds and then use relaxation and good

eating and vitamins and whatever else you want. Just don't try to

cure yourself ok? its dangerous. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh

but the thing is you are only 32 years old, and you are only making

your health worse.
