Welcome!

From personal experience:

Acid reflux = insufficient stomach acid

Insomnia, poor sleep = poor thyroid function

http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/insanities.shtml

Raw milk is highly beneficial (contains small amounts of thyroid hormone in it)

IF you can digest it properly. Dairy needs good stomach acid and pepsinogen (to

be converted to pepsin) to digest the protein in the milk AND the correct pH in

the intestines to finish digesting it.

You are welcome to email me off list to discuss further...if you'd like.<G>

Hi Jenn:My wife has a thyroid problem and your comment on thyroid hormone interested me. Is this T3 or T4 and in what quantities? Is it absent or concentrated in whey?Kurtis Welcome!

I don't really know the answer to that question...I'm guessing it's in the

solids because the nutritionist recommended cheese too. My understanding is the

liver has to do the converting before the thyroid can use the thyroid

hormone....or thyroid tissue or whatever...so if your liver isn't working

well...it just goes to waste. He told be to feed my liver first. Taking small

amounts of grass fed dairy throughout the day was better than chugging it all at

once.

Hi ,

Welcome to the group! I am Nena, just turned 53 and a 22 year

old survivor of HIV/AIDS! I also just recently joined this

group and find the information wonderfully helpful. Even

if situations don't apply directly to me all the time it

helps me to learn more from others and what they are going

through. We can all be here to help educate each other and

support one another, that's what it's all about!

Thanks for this group!!

Nena in N. California

now and doing better than anytime ever in my past. I face many similar issues

and I am grateful and excited to be part of the Group. I am 51, living in NC at

this time.

First of all I would like to say hello to my fellow allergy sufferers. I am

about to start Xolair and was glad to see a place where it's use and effects are

openly discussed. I am hopeful that it will help with my asthma (had since

birth). I currently am taking symbicort, albuterol and singulair with marginal

results. On top of that I am recently married and moved into my wife's home. She

recently gave away a dog she had for 4 years and we are desperately trying to

" clean " it up for me since I am allergic to dog dander. In addition I have not

been able to exercise efficiently for the last year for various reasons and I

can definitely tell that that has had an effect on my asthma as well. We have 3

flights of stairs at my office and I am the only one who takes the elevator.

When I take the stairs I feel like I need 5 minutes just to get my breathing

under control. Sick of this !!!

, I hope Xolair helps you as it has helped me. I remember struggling to

walk up the grade in my back yard five years ago, but now giving it a minor

thought. I've put Xolair on par with Prednisone as far as improving my

breathing, but without the side effects, although I do sort of miss the superman

rush that I get with Prednisone (which comes at a great physical price, like

cataracts and weak bones and weight gain).

I also realize that serious exercise is a key ingredient to maintaining a good

quality of life. It's much better to be out hiking in the mountains or even

working in the yard than parked inside near the refrigerator. Keeping my weight

under control with physical activity and exercise is also a key to health since

my compromised lungs don't fare well with the extra pounds.

I just had a visit with my doctor and truthfully explained how much my quality

of life has improved over the years since getting Xolair ... a lot at first but

then gradually over the years. All this while the ravages of aging well into my

sixties would normally work against me.

I realize everyone is different and Xolair may or may not help you, but do give

it a shot and try to supplement it with good physical exercise.
