How To Suppress Hyperactive Thyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm doing some research before I get my labs next week and am

wondering if anyone knows what can be used to suppress a hyperactive

thyroid? I saw Lynn's post saying that Dr. Flecha uses lithium and

copper, plus other minerals. I'm wondering if anyone has more info or

experience with this? Any website you recommend? Thanks much! Sharon

If you're on thyroid medication, you would stop it.

Hi Skipper,

I'm confused...do people really take thyroid meds when they have an

overactive thyroid?

IMO hyperactive means sick, it does not mean too much!

to help sick thyroid I would use cortisol and iodine.

No, but then I'm confused and some people have mentioned being hyper yet not

lowering their medication.

Ok Skipper, I totally misread your other post - I really thought you

were recommending thyroid meds for an overactive thyroid. Rereading

your post, I can't even imagine how I came to think that... But

anyway, I'm no longer confused about that and I do agree with you

now!

Hoping that I am now clear,

Sharon

I used Armour for "overactive thyroid" and it helped. That's why I say there is no such thing as hyperthyroidism. You can be overmedicated or you can have a sick thyroid gland.

Hyperthroidism is real, and this wouldn't be the solution for real

hyperthyroidism.

However, on Shomon's website, biochemist Ray Peat said many with

" hyperactive " thyroid in reality did need thyroid meds.

http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/ray-peat.htm

" In the last several years, all of the people I have seen who had been

diagnosed as " hyperthyroid " have actually been hypothyroid, and benefitted

from increasing their thyroid function; some of these people had also been

told that they had Graves' disease. "

I don't know how Peat confirmed they were hypothyroid, just like I don't

know why the people were diagnosed as " hyperthyroid. " If one is suspected

of being hyper,they'd have to run T3 labs or course, because it's the high

T3 that makes you hyper and not the low TSH.

I talked with someone in Canada who was being told she was hyperthyroid

because her TSH was almost -0-, but then so were her T4 and T3 levels.

Also, some people have had their thyroids out because a lack of Vitamin C

can cause TSH and thyroid levels to elevate so it looks like you have

hyperthyroidism when you don't.

This is certainly what happened with me! I was always subclinically HypoT, low body temp etc. Since I've been on Armour, my antibodies went down. And yet, my dumb Endo wants me to lower my dose based on TSH! Duh. However that was after being on Anti-thyroid meds and being in hell for a year. No thanks.

T3 may be high in the blood but it's not getting into cells. I believe Ray Peat PhD says that hyperthyroidism is extremely rare, and I agree. I would encourage "hypers" to get Iodoral and cortisol to help get hormones into cells. Hyperthyroidism is misunderstood, mistreated, completely outrageous and I hope there are class action lawsuits about it someday soon.
