Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think they may remember all of us who did not get well on Armour despite staying with it a long time and doing significant doses. I am another one of those. I believe the reason being is that mercury is at the bottom of our illness, but that doesn't mean that I don't need thyroid. Since mercury trashes the thyroid gland and endocrine system, we need to address these areas prudently in our quest to eventually get well. Even though I am not well after taking thyroid, I now have regular periods for the very first time in my life. (Late 40's). Taking Armour literally gave me my periods back. When the thyroid gland doesn't work properly, one just doesn't stand a chance of getting well. I also finally left the group after being active for about a year, but I still send folks over till this day. I believe they have the best, and most accurate information available on thyroid and how to properly treat it. Help from doctors in the area of proper thyroid testing and treament is poor at best. I would encourage everybody who even suspects they may have thyroid issues, or I would even go so far as to say everbody who is ill and/or mercury toxic, to join naturalthyroidhormones and take control of their own healing. ~Inga > Hi Jackie.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Inga, Are you saying that even if we keep chelating for 3-4 years like Andy says, that we won't get well unless we take thyroid hormone?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Inga. The only thing Armour did for me was cause me to lose 40 lbs which was needed at the time. Still classic hypo. Lack of energy, muscle aches(fatigue, weakness, tightness etc), reoccuring fatigue and flue like symptoms, sinus/allergy, intestinal, ringing in the ears etc etc. I belonged to both the natural group as well as thyroid which was actually my favorite. I quite the natural group as I couldn't keep up with both of them. Janie would also post on the thyroid group on occasion. I'm still subscribed but at no mail and haven't checked in in over a year. I did hear recently from a gal with a severely autistic son who has tried everything under the son (she is a part of that group). She wondered how I was doing and how (our autistic son) was doing. I keep saying I might check in there to see how they are all doing and bring them up to date on me. Sigh, I'm such a procastinator. Well, at least your periods straightened out. My doctor (not the top doc who allowed such high doses) about fell off his chair when he found out I had NO hyper symptoms at that dose. I even thought of going up to 10 grains like Broda used to give but I didn't have the courage. I'm not sure it would have made any difference. Carol B --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 No, I don't think that is what I was saying at all. I think what I want to say is that if we have fried thyroid glands because of mercury, then we need to treat our bodies to the thyroid that is missing to help the body to function better while we are chelating....that is, if the thyroid is indeed affected....which is very common with mercury toxicity. Another thing to consider is that once the thyroid gland has been damaged from mercury (or whatever) the chances of it going back to normal are not all that great from what I have read, so taking thyroid is usually (but not always) a life time treatment. So if you need it, you need it. Even if you chelate the heck out of yourself, if you have yourself a messed up thyroid, it my never fully heal, and you will not fuction at your optimum without the additional hormone, even if most or all of the mercury has been removed from your body/brain. Did that make sense, ? I know you have had issues regarding taking thyroid.... ;-) Inga > Inga, > > Are you saying that even if we keep chelating for 3-4 years like Andy > says, > that we won't get well unless we take thyroid hormone? > > > Re: OT---Armour thyroid> > > >> I think they may remember all of us who did not get well on Armour >> despite staying with it a long time and doing significant doses. >> I am another one of those.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Thanks Inga, I have been thinking lately that my hashimoto's will be permanent regardless of getting the mercury out. It would be nice if I can say differently after about 3 more years of chelation.
