Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Barb, I mostly monitor the postings on the list. I do not see doctor local here anymore, and had saw one, and heard about another. If you have questions about local doctors, chances are you can get some feed back. I think they are very helpful. Jin > > > Has anyone had any experience with a Dr. Mercola > > in > > > Chicago?

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Peggy, Can you give me any info on the Armour thyroid? My sister insists it's the only way to go but I've asked two of my doctors to prescribe Armour instead of Synthroid and both said no that I was better off with the synthetic because it is better regulated. How did you get on Armour? What kind of doctor is it? I want to be on natural thyroid so bad. I have this weird idea it will help my diabetes. THANKS in advance, Suej -- Dr. Mercola I'm on only alergy shots and Armour Thyroid today along with several supplements. My Thyroid meds continue to be decreased, and I no longer have to take any allergy meds besides shots.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Suej, Take a look at www.stopthethyroidmadness.com There is a wealth of info there that I think can help you. (That you could perhaps use to enlighten your doctor.)

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Suej, I go to a naturopath. I was very lucky, I figured out conventional Dr's would kill you if you let them, about the time my thyroid gave out. You can sometimes find an MD that has gone over to holistic or natural remedies. ICON health is a clinic I went to previously. Insurance will pay for your Dr. visits if you can find this type. I now go to a Naturopath. Insurance only pays for tests. Thyroid is related to Metabolic Syndrome, that turns into diabetes, if it goes untreated. I was almost there. I take supplements and do not eat anyyyyy sugar except a tiny bit of stevia, nor do I eat anyyyyy complex carbs...pasta, bread no wheat at all. The only thing that will fix your diabetes, is diet and exercise. You have to loose weight, and no thyroid med is going to do that. I highly recommend organic unrefined cocnut oil. Natural things are slow to heal you, but they do, and you are actually healed, not just covering up symptoms. I use to be on 320 grns of Armour. Now I'm down to 120. My largest problem now is exercise. I hate it, because I have a serious intolerance to heat. Nobody has figured out why. I should be cold with low thyroid, and my body temp is really low...95.6, but I'm one hot Mamma! LOL! I just added MCT oil to my regime yesterday. It's supposed to help with energy, and metablolism. I'll say I did do more yesterday than I normally do.. So we'll see how that goes. I do think you are on the right track with the natural thyroid. But the real answer...sucks...diet and exercise. I've done it....One doesn't work without the other. I am good with eating right...but if I don't exercise, the weight comes right back. Eating right isn't necessarily low cal. Nuts, healthy oils, good protein, are high calorically. You still have to exercise to maintain a healthy weight. Diabetes is almost always related to being over weight. All of my labs are totally normal when I exercise. We just bought a house and I've been totally absorbed in the remodel of it for the Last 5 MOS. I've been busy, but not exercising and I've gained 15 lbs and that's eating healthy. Wish I could say Armour would help your diabetes ...but I don't think it will unless you eat right and exercise. I do believe it's better for you than the synthroid though. It treats both t3 and 4. Sysnthroid doesn't. Try to get yourself a good Natural Dr that is an MD if you can. If not, holistic or naturopath...which I really prefer. Conventional Dr.'s had nearly killed me with conventional drugs. Read, you know yourself better than any Dr does. The only time for Conventional medicine in my opinion is when your in a car crash or accident and need to be sewn up. Hope I was some help... You are very welcome..

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not exactly true, Todd; each fatty acid has quite different properties, even the MCT oils. This translates to different bacterial kills, the amount of energy produced, the amount of cell lysis as the fatty acid is assimilated, that kind of thing. " MCT oil " was used in the research precisely to prevent clouding of the results that whole coconut oil would have yielded. Your own results are different with whole coconut oil compared to a real MCT oil too. all good, Duncan > > coconut oil and mct oil have same benefits > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
