Guest guest Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yesterday I went off of my thyroid med 30 mg. armour and iodine to get my thyroid tested. Today I took the thyroid and 2 drops of lugols 5% instead of 3 drops. My tsh t-free 3 & 4, ferritan are being tested as per the info I am reading on this site. This is being done because I asked my dr. to do it because of hair loss and increased energy. joyce Does your hair grow back in after the loss if you can balance out the hormones?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yes, hair usually grows back. Also be aware that if you are on Zantac or any other antacids, your hair will fall out. Mine did and I'm just now finding out that taking antacids keeps you from absorbing nutrients and causes malnutrition which is why you lose hair. I just went off Zantac about a month ago and am feeling much much better now.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks Ariel,I know I always get behind this tim eof year when all the kids are home! I'm hoping that getting to the right amount of thyroid will cure the problem, but in the meantime I have to get more comfortable and stop being sick!On Aug 5, 2011, at 1:37 PM, Ariel Monserrat wrote: , Ido has it right. In fact, Ido recommended the book to me that is in the post, about stomach acid.It isn't good to take alot of baking soda because it inhibits production of stomach acid which is whatyour body uses to digest and extract the nutrients from; in the end you have malnutrition. This is what happened to me on Zantac and since I've been off of them for 4 to 6 weeks, I'm feeling MUCH better; in fact, I think it's why I have had adrenal fatigue, which now that I'm off Zantac has now healed and I am starting to lower my dose of cortisol. I definitely second Ido's book recommendation and to follow that protocol. I found that the betaine et al didn't work so well for me so I just backed off the Zantac slowly by cutting the dosage in half every 4 days. I had to tolerate slight heartburn at first, but when I either ate something or waited for awhile it went away. I'll be happy to help you through it, don't hesitate to email me offlist.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I brush my teeth with baking soda, and I use a good vinegar in water when I need help with digestion.
