Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 My husband had his thyroid removed and is on a thyroid replacement medication, too (actually 2 of them because of the doses).  He takes a generic synthroid. He can't get off that because he has no thyroid to make the hormone he needs. Medication replaces the thyroid production. That may be the same situation.  Something might have helped before the thyroid was gone.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Congratulations to you. My husband and I have a small pharmacy. I am diabetic and have arthritis and HB pressure if I don't take the meds. Of course, losing weight could resolve those conditions to where I might not have to have meds. My husband's situation is different as he has a number of problems where he takes medications but he is on less than he was before. And he is getting a better balance and doing better. He can't go with too many veggies because of the dialysis he is on. Veggies have a lot of water in them and that is pulled off. Just too late for him it appears. Will be checking with nutritionist to see what sprouts he can have. One step at a time.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: " sproutpeople " <sproutpeople > Sent: Wednesday, April 4, 2012 4:43 PM Subject: Re: Pill Free  im vegan, 54 & pill free also  Patti ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Wednesday, April 4, 2012 3:28 PM Subject: Re: Pill Free  , you have taken your meds down from 17 to 1 or 2 pills, that is very marvellous.
