Warrior Diet question Armour thyroid

[Guest guest]

Sandy,

<Did you get to the point where your thyroid was not working anymore?

That I don't know. And I'm not sure there is a way of knowing, once you're

on supplementation. Unless you're asking if my thyroid was completely down

before I began the Armour? I don't think so. My morning temperature was

horribly low and my symptoms were bad, but the conventional tests were IIRC,

borderline. considered those tests, esp. the ones I had, to be

inaccurate, but it's hard to believe they wouldn't have shown a complete

shut-down of the thyroid.

I was on Armour for several years, and IIRC (sorry to keep using this

phrase, but the major turnaround of my health problems has not yet given me

great memory <g>)it was a high dosage. I went off it slowly and experienced

no problems, so I assumed that the increasing overall health of my body

included rejuvenation of my thyroid both before and after the weaning

process. I did have another thought, though, after my last post, which was

that the Armour may itself, instead of usurping the role of the thyroid,

actually stimulated the thyroid. This may be an off-the-wall idea, but the

Armour is, I think, a fairly unprocessed extraction of the thyroid of pigs.

If like does heal like, as I think it does when we're talking about a raw,

whole meat product, then it might have done so in this instance.

So many maybes and ifs -- as usual in these matters.

Hi .

It's not an off-the-wall idea that Armour Thyroid stimulates the thyroid.

This is a fact. Armour contains the dessicated gland, so all the DNA/RNA

factors are there. Even across species, the DNA and RNA from a gland or

organ that's ingested bypasses destruction by the stomach acids and

gravitates to the DNA/RNA of the gland or organ in the host that's consuming

the product or food. This is the principle behind the taking of glandulars.

....Which is why Armour has been used with much more success than, say,

Synthroid. Synthroid stands for " synthetic thyroid. " When the body is given

substitute thyroid hormone, the gland gets no stimulus to produce thyroxin

on its own and eventually shuts down. Then the person needs to take it for

life. A doctor told me this years ago, and when I heard that I threw away my

medication. Later I went on Armour.

Last year I remember reading on the internet that the makers of Synthroid

were served a lawsuit because Synthroid is actually dangerous.

The thyroid is rather delicate and reacts strongly under stress. That's why,

I think, low thyroid function can be so hard to treat.

Best,

Nenah

The reason why I asked is, I have a friend and her doctor told

her...that her thyroid had basically quit working. And I was wondering

if there was any hope for her.
