Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Dawn, would I be assuming correctly that this doc of yours prescribes Armour freely, would test the free's, and will listen to SYMPTOMS no matter what labs say?? IF so, send me his name, address and phone number and I'll put him in our GOOD DOCS FILE.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Dawn, were you under the impression that nutricentre thyroid glandular was that strength before your doc told you? I'm sure I read somewhere else that they are equivalent to a quarter grain of armour Lynda (in the UK) DW> I am to continue to take the natural adrenal glandulars I have been buying DW> form teh nutri-centre in london as well as the Thyroid ones (which are DW> stronger than I thought as 1 tablet is equivalent to 2 grains of armour so DW> that is good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 >They would be allowed to sell them without prescription >if they contained T3 Sorry, that should have read " they WOULDN'T be allowed to sell them if they contained T3 " Lynda Re: visit to top doc uk They would be allowed to sell them without prescription if they contained T3 This is what the label says: Each tablet contains 130mg thyroid (laboratory tested thyroxin free) Parotid 1mg bovine source.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Dawn, This is SO great! So happy for you! I know I " m way behind in posts. But if you haven't posted his recommendations yet, I'd be interested. If you have, I'll get to it sooner or later! in Va. well finally had my visit to see Dr Downing in York yesterday so reporting back Was an interesting consult and I now don't feel like an overweight, middle-aged, female hypochondriac. he was very surprised my GP hadn't given me a diagnosis of Hashimoto's with my 'slightly raised antibodies 885 and a chance of perhaps developing hypothyroid in teh future' (my GP's word's) so gave one himself. He doesn't think I have a 's problem which I had originally thought and why I had found him sp that is good but did say because of all my issues I.e candida, low female hormones, ibs etc it was difficult to know where to start first as they were all obviously related ( how great to hear someone finally tell me this !!!!!) so we are dealing with souping up my adrenals first once they are in order he can start looking at the Hashimoto's and also check for any other autoimmune problems I am bound to have given my family history but doesn't want to bombard my system yet. He commended me on teh action of reading and self-medicating and said I had done very well to get my body to teh functioning state it is now in and it was a matter of taking it further along. I am to continue to take the natural adrenal glandulars I have been buying form teh nutri-centre in london as well as the Thyroid ones (which are stronger than I thought as 1 tablet is equivalent to 2 grains of armour so that is good) and he prefers me to be on a natural rather than synthetic meds which is fab. As my temperature is increasing, hit normal the other morning for half an hour yaay!!, and I can actually finally feel a pulse feels they are doing me good will keep on them fro another couple of months and then do another saliva test to see if there is a change. the big test this month is that although my period is due any time now I don't have thyroid foot which ahs crippled me at this time in teh past few months. I am also increasing to maximum the supplements I have been on which I thought I could safely do but was one of the reasons I went to see him just in case I couldn't and adding a couple more (he thought I was probably magnesium low) I can post these to the list if anyone is interested in his recommendations. I am glad I went despite the cost as I feel I have validated my illness and what I have been doing the last few months. I'm sure that if I had gone to see him a year ago then I would have been vastly improved by now but am also on teh track he would have put me on anyway. It would have been nice to walk out of there with a quick fix answer but as we all know there isn't one and at least now I feel I have some support at last even if it did cost me a fortune. It will be interesting to see how my visit to him compares with my visit to the NHS endo when he finally deigns to see me Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
