Re: antibiotics

[Guest guest]

Here's a question...since being diagnosed I haven't had any NEW health

problems...just hypo stuff that was being resolved. Prior to Armour, every year

I

had to go to the doc at least 3 or 4X a year for sinus

infections/colds/etc....and always got an antibiotic.

Now that I know I'm hypothyroid, are there any special concerns about

antibiotics and a hypo state?

oh i think i know that. since starting Armour back in February, I've had

only one slight cold and didn't take anything for it. I'm just wondering how

the

antibotics (if i needed them) might affect thyroid hormone, etc.

It really makes me mad to think of all the doctor visits and Rxs I have had

over the last 15 years that just were NOT needed. Poo on doctors.

we do have group insurance...and I always have. but heck..what good did it

do me? Doctors missed this for years and I was still paying money out of

pocket.

And now...I'm paying out of pocket for mexico armour because i got tired of

even going to docs who couldn't properly treat hypo.

what a racket all the way around.

Cindi, I think that you'll find that after getting on a good dose of

Armour, you won't have near as much sickness with colds, allergies,

etc.

I can't explain it, but I've been sick once since I got ill with my

thyroid. It was almost 2 yrs ago, and at that time, I was hypoT

because of the overmedication on anti thyroid drugs at the time and it

was a cold. I don't have to buy sinus meds or haven't had a cold in

quite some time. I'm really enjoying it.

I agree Cindi. It's very disheartening to learn this after all this

time, thinking that this was just 'as it should be'. I think this is

a good thing to learn though, as for me, our new insurance is strictly

for catastrophic illness, which will have me paying for a lot more

than what I'm used to paying.

If I stayed with an Endo right now, every charge is going to be at my

expense for the first 2,500.00 dollars, being called a deductible.

Ughhh! I decided that since my bp meds were also online, I'd give

them a try too, from myrxforless.com this go around. I think in all

the things I've seen typed about illness, I don't recall seeing

anything about antibiotics now that you mention it? I'm sure somebody

will chime in on that one.

I'm ready to buy one of those books that tells how to heal things

naturally at this point. It's getting to where what little insurance

coverage we have is going to be so costly, nobody will be able to

afford it. :-(

Sandy,

Yeah...even Medicare goes up every year. And then it's wise to have a

supplemental insurance which gets even costlier while our social security

incomes don't go up enough annually to cover it all. What's wrong with this

picture??

I found a great self-medicating book with natural stuff that a friend

recommended to me. It was on sale at my healthfood store for only $18., marked

down from $25. It's a huge volume, 776 pages.

Called: " Prescription for Nutritiional Healing, 3rd Edition: A Practical A-Z

Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food

Supplements " by Phyllis A. Balch, CNC & Balch, M.D. It's a veritable

up-to-date encyclopedia for natural healing. The most comprehensive one I've

ever seen.

Blessings,

Caroline

Cindi,

You know antibiotics causes yeast to get out of hand. There is an

idea that an overgrowth of yeast can cause Hashimoto's

hypothyroidism, which I think could possibly be in part my case.

The antibodies your body produces to get rid of the yeast also

attacks the thyroid.

So, it's important to keep the digestive track happy and yeast

overgrowth under control.

Right now, my yeast is all over my body... in my sinus's. The

mucous is so thick in the mornings that I can not talk without

cough/scratching my throat. I used to think my rhinitis was due

to 'allergies' but now I think its due to yeast.

To my understanding, being on a high enough dose of Armour should

keep everything in balance and no need to worry about the yeast,

future antibiotics, etc.

I'd still be worrying about & treating the yeast if I were you. I know I won't

stop doing that even on the Armour.

Armour isn't a cure for everything immediately. Some things needs to still be

treated other ways. Like yeast/fungus infections.

I've learned a few extremely effective ways to keep it under control. But yes,

once it's in the blood stream it does affect all body parts adversely, thyroid

included.

Primal Defense, an amazing probiotic product for the intestines, especially

after or before/with taking antiobiotics is wonderfully healing & health

restoring. Also so is ingesting lots of garlic every day which kills yeast

infestations & promotes good bacteria in the bowels.

I drink a drink called " Witch's Brew " named/invented by my holistic healer

friend, with crushed garlic, fresh parsley, ginger & lemon juice in it. She

doesn't use the fresh chopped or shaved ginger in it tho as I do. But they're

all systemic purifiers/oxygentators.

If you've ever got lung, sinus, breathing or pneumonia problems, that'll cure it

if drunk a few times a day. Cures it in the blood too. Never fails for me as an

immediate remedy, even for shortness of breath or sinus or ear or throat

problems.

Also putting lavendar oil drops followed by eucalyptus oil drops in the ears

overnight & /or during the day & plugging it in with a piece of cotton can cure

ear & sinus infections because they're both connected. Lavendar & eucalyptus are

both antiseptics/antiobiotics.

Also just breathing in the crushed eucalyptus leaves helps with oxygenation that

helps destroy the yeast/fungus infestations or other infections. I rub

eucalyptus oil on my chest every night & also inhale a bit directly from the

bottle if having breathing or sinus problems of any kind.

Also I take Kyolic, aged garlic extract which keeps the yeasties at bay &

promotes healthy intestinal bacteria. I used to take garlic & wheat grass juice

enemas too when I had it really bad but that's long gone. Caprylic acid is

another good thing that kills off the yeast & bad bacteria overgrowth.

Also sugar, carbs & other processed foods, breads, pastries, cakes, muffins &

other baked goods with yeast in it, some grains, melons or other fruits/veggies

with fungus in them are all deadly & yeast/fungus overgrowth promoting. Ya can't

eat any of that stuff.

If there's a dark spot on any fruit or veggies, you can bet it's fungus which

causes yeast overgrowth. So it's all through that piece of fruit or vegetable

then. Also on other foods that look even the tiniest bit mouldy. No sense even

trying to cut out the bad spot. You must throw it all away & not take any

chances.

Another thing is getting plenty of fresh, green leafy veggies into the diet.

They contain most of the oxygen a body needs if enough are eaten, even in

powdered or pill form. But fresh are best, especially when juiced as more goes

into the system that way.

It's based on the scientific fact that humans exhale carbon monoxide which

plants & trees then ingest to create oxygen to give back to humans & the

environment in general. That's why it's destroying our ecosystem (oxygen quota)

to be killing off & burning the rain forests.

So we humans need the oxygen from plants, especially the green edible leaves to

keep us healthy. Along our highway here, they've planted rows of eucalyptus

trees. You'll find them & other types of fur trees or tall bushes & trees along

most freeways & highways. There's a reason for that. They absorb the carbon

monoxide fumes from the cars & trucks.

Oxygenation of the body promotes an alkaline system. The more alkaline our

system becomes, the less disease we have. There's an acid/alkaline balance to

keep too tho, yes. But we're all mostly acidic & need way more alkaline foods to

keep that balance.

Oxygen/alkaline go together for optimum health.

Just knowing that one basic thing can go a long way to putting all other things

in proper perspective, I've learned.

It's about getting back to basics & root causes of illness. Find the cause &

you'll find the cure.

Also drinking lots of fresh, purified water oxygenates the body. Yeast or

fungus, even cancers, cannot grow in a well oxygenated body. So even deep

breathing exercises & massages, even with electric vibrators while doing deep

breathing is an aerobic way to promote circulation of the blood, tissues, bone

marrow & glands/organs. Thus oxygenating/alkanalyzing the body to promote better

health.

It's what's kept me from commiting sucide & kept me up, walking & able to care

for myself, house, home & my (now deceased) husband for so many years despite

the

maltreated hypothyroidism. So there's no way I'm giving it all up & just take

natural thyroid alone & expect it to cure all my ills or prevent future

problems.
