Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 There is no protocol for what you have listed. You can take them any time. Lugol's is 6.25 mgs per drop. You need to decide what dose you will start on. Some start at 50mgs like me and others start at 6 or 12 mgs and work up.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 So I can take the celtic sea salt in water right after I take my iodine? Or should I do it before? I guess it doesn't matter. I have actually already started the iodine and I swear I feel somewhat better after just a few days. Are there any of these that would be best taken on an empty stomach? > > There is no protocol for what you have listed. You can take them any time. > Lugol's is 6.25 mgs per drop.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I was told to take my iron in an empty stomach but it made me sick. There are no contradictions in any of the stuff.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi, I have no thyroid gland and endo would only give me 1 grain of Armour and told me to come back in four months.... 30 year Thyca survivor, just switched to Armour 3/28/08.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 That's because the normal thyroid gland produces 3-5 grains of hormone. You are undertreated. You need more thyroid hormone. If you had thyroid cancer you need to stay on top of this. Suppressed TSH is a must and you need to get it down as fast as you can tolerate. I started on 2 grains and am now at 4 grains. I went from 2 to 4 grains in 3 mos time.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sherry, You need to increase the Armour. One grain is only a starting point. Increase by 1/2 grain. Put half the dose under your tongue in the a.m. and half the dose under your tongue in the afternoon. Armour - dose by symptoms.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 How on earth can a doctor justify giving a thyca patient 60mg of armour? You need to have your TSH suppressed. I had an endo who wouldn't give me more than 2 grains after my TT. I fired her and found a new doctor who cares about patient wellbeing, not lab reports. If I were in your shoes (I was less than a year ago), I would kick that doctor to the curb and find another doctor who will give you the amount of armour you need to thrive, not just survive. ----- Original Message ----- > Hi, > I have no thyroid gland and endo would only give me 1 grain of Armour > and told me to come back in four months.... 30 year Thyca survivor, > just switched to Armour 3/28/08.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I went from 90mg to 240mg in ONE week, once I had some other stuff I needed (cortef and estrogen). Gracia That's because the normal thyroid gland produces 3-5 grains of hormone. You are undertreated. You need more thyroid hormone. If you had thyroid cancer you need to stay on top of this. Suppressed TSH is a must and you need to get it down as fast as you can tolerate. I started on 2 grains and am now at 4 grains. I went from 2 to 4 grains in 3 mos time. ..
