Please help me sort this out.

[Guest guest]

I have been following this group for awhile now and have read some

very interesting opinions here. I would really appreciate some

feedback.

Just for some basic info I will tell you that i have been

diagnosed with Hoshimotos. This was determined a few yrs

ago....although I feel I have had this to some extent for yrs. I

have my first thyroid episode when My daughter who is 26 was an

infant.

In an effort to heal my body and not rely on Synthroid I have been

going to a naturopath. I have been doing this for about 16 mo. This

man is a firm believer in " Raw " . I know that he has helped many

folks with cancer who were given up on by conventional medicine. It

was rough in the beginning, because I was put on a diet of mostly

juices that I extract myself. No meat! I know there has been a

collective shudder that has just gone thru this group....lol After a

few months he okay'd a steak about once a week if it was very rare.

After awhile I felt a lot better and my family could see a big

difference in my mental outlook and energy levels. I have list about

50 lb in this period of time....I really need to lose 50 more. My

yrs of struggling with this thyroid thing has mede me very over

weight.

To get to my the concerns I want some feedback on....The last few

months I have had a lot of pain that i feel is mainly in my muscles.

I feel generally " bad " He doesn't seem to have any answers for me

about this....except maybe to add another suppliment. I am not able

to do this with 100% organic veg. We have discussed this many

times. They aren't available here in the area I live in and the cost

would be too much for me to afford given the amt of veg I go thru in

a week. The stress of this has been a problem because his program

doesn't offer much in the way of support. I never know if the phases

I go thru are a direct result of this program or if I'm really ill

with sonething else. Being a nurse...I'm my own worse enemy there.

I'm sure toxins are a problem..but he states my liver is capable of

handling it. He has tried to get me to take the new stuff that is neg

charged that removes heavy metals. I can't remember the name of

it..but the only info I can find is from people who are trying to

sell it to me, so I don't feel comfortable taking it. He hasn't been

selling it long enough to have enough feedback either. All he knows

is what they tell him too.

My husband and I have a small farm where we raise our own lambs and

chickens. I can't say we are organic, because I don't have organic

feeds available and we are surrounded by conventional farmers who

spray. Although I consider myself lucky that they are considerate of

my concerns. We milk our own goat. We raise our own rabbits.

I have read so much on this internet I am about to lose my mind.

There are so many different ideas and opinions stated as fact. So

many of them contradict each other. I haven't found any on juicing

diets to the extreme I am on.

Thanks for your time.

I second the " ditch this guy " sentiment.
