Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Good read. Freud was a coke head and when I friend of mine was getting her psychologist's license, we used to laugh all the time about what a quack he was (not to mention misogynist) and how so many psychologist and psychiatrists are more screwed up than their patients. I am surprised she even stuck with the field. I don't think people here are against psych meds short term since most seem to have been or are on some in one form or another. The problem is long term they don't address the underlying issues and they are toxic to the liver as the buildup accumulates in an already compromised liver which causes more body stress and adrenal issues. I have a lot of experience with this from close relatives who nearly died and now are off all meds so I was one who never believed in them for myself because I knew they wouldn't address the cause and whatever short term gain they gave me would be offset by other issues I still needed to address. I took Ambien one night (didn't help) and that is the furthest I have ventured into any mind drugs. Like I said, nothing against them short term but they don't balance what is off in the body and the longer you use them the more you start to see the side effects. I think if people use them as they are trying to get other things addressed it is usually fine but if you are on too many and there are contraindications then a person can prevent themselves from every making headway. Mickel therapy worthless for thyroid Some of us are here because of stresses that have nothing to do with our minds though we have certainly been accused of that, or at least I have. ( As I said, Freud is dead and sizzling but the lies he told still aren't dead yet. The antidepressants my psychiatrist prescribe really help with the insomnia and depression the sleep apnea and thyroid problems cause. Freud and his ghost have done enormous damage to me and my family. I had to live with a brain sick mother my whole life because of the snickering and the moral judgment and the inexcusable ignorance and neglect afforded her and me by doctors and others. Because of this I have no tolerance for the opinion any physical health problem is mental or curable by any kind of so called psychotherapy. That is especially true for ones that even main stream medicine knows cause mental problems not the other way around. As Christ said, " The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. " Yes anxiety can be treated with desensitizing therapy, and that will take the strain off your adrenals, IF that is all the source of your stress was. Most of us have other reasons for being stressed: Heavy metal poisoning for instance. Did I mention I also have that? Hensley <>< 8-) .

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 , Have you tried Mickel Therapy for yourself. Frannie To: NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS@...: lhensley@...: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:04:39 -0500Subject: Mickel therapy worthless for thyroid Some of us are here because of stresses that have nothing to do with our minds though we have certainly been accused of that, or at least I have. (My childhood family doctor told me to my face he was not going to waste his valuable time on me running tests because, " I had emotional problems. " When my parents heard this they ceased to respect me and I had it implied many times that if I really was a good Christian girl I wouldn't be, " afraid to fall asleep. " That doctor's opinion went in my medical records. The insurance company dropped me and my father could not get me more and if we paid for a doctor on our own they would brush me off or send me back and forth to other doctors who would also brush me off. I was a nice cash cow for them and I am sure they were laughing behind my back because I did landscape maintenance for a doctor and I overhead him laughing and ridiculing a similar patient. No one believed me when I told them my breathing was stopping on me when I tried to sleep. My first sleep study was a bust because I was not allergic to the hospital clean sleep clinic. I had no control over the filthy conditions in my parents home because they thought my allergies were " all in my head. " After all several doctors had said they were. " Its been a hard road to recovery for me and its been made much harder by the ghost of Freud who hangs around despite the fact I am sure he is sizzling nice and hot in Hell where he belongs. It turned out I had TWO kinds of sleep apnea, both obstructive and central (which is caused by a damaged rib and my big boobs). The obstructive was only being made worse by the allergies. My first sleep study was too early for them to realize the stress problems of so called " mild sleep apnea " which is what they diagnosed me with. After two operations (throat and also nose), and a CPAP machine I'm better, but bitter. I had to buy the off of eBay for the sleep apnea machine and up the pressure myself as I was being undertreated. It really helped. Recipients of bone marrow from allergic donors develop the exact same allergies as their donors. If allergies were all psychosomatic this could not happen. My current psychiatrist knows allergies cause emotional problems, not the other way around, for many physical reasons (histamine overabundance which interferes with neurochemicals, fatigue due to breathing problems interfering with sleep, malnourishment due to gut damage, just never feeling well, etc), but also because the allergic person develops what I call exogenous paranoia, reality based paranoia because the world really IS out to get you and many ignorant people don't believe you and treat you like a nut case and even deliberately don't tell you the ingredients of foods thinking what you don't know won't hurt you. As I said, Freud is dead and sizzling but the lies he told still aren't dead yet. The antidepressants my psychiatrist prescribe really help with the insomnia and depression the sleep apnea and thyroid problems cause. That is why I shudder when I read here of folks who think its not a good idea to be on them. Many here would sleep better if they took the correct one, (not some like Prozac which actually make sleep worse. You need one that aids serotonin and serotonin alone). I'm on Sumontil. It is the only one that raises REM sleep instead of lowering it, and it has probably literally saved my sanity as I was severely REM sleep deprived. The fatigue from the sleep apnea masked the fatigue from the thyroid and adrenal problems. I was 32 before I could start getting help for my sleep apnea (finally looked fat enough to be taken seriously and had a car accident). It is a myth that all sleep apnea victims are fat. I was a skinny, frustrated teenager when I first realized my fatigue was breathing related. I was 48 before my Hashis thyroid problem was diagnosed and the so called alternate practice doctor would not believe me about my adrenals needing treating too, despite being shown what it said in the PDR, many articles emailed to him and my pleas. I gave up, joined this group and started treating it on my own. I have since received newsletters from him stating he is treating it now, but its too late. Due to not being able to work I can no longer afford him. My Mother would have done much better if her thyroid problem had been diagnosed and her OCD hoarding symptoms had been recognized as a medical problem and not a mental problem or sign of lazyness or lack of moral character. The brain is a physical organ! It can malfunction for purely physical reasons and the right medication can help incredibly. After my power of positive thinking Father finally died of his power of positive thinking failing to work for him as it had not for us for decades, I finally was able get my Mother to a geriatric psychiatrist who did not blame her hoarding on Freudian problems but gave her meds. He worked with her regular physician and HER thyroid problem was finally diagnosed! She was in her late 70's and had not had help all that time because all her problems had been seen as mental! ( After she was put on an antidepressant I was finally able to clean up our incredibly filthy house with out her throwing a temper tantrum. My friend and I through out over 11 bags of spoiled, rotting food from the Kitchen area alone. The garage was also full as her hoarding OCD made her unable to throw anything away including spoiled food. I feels sorry for the rat snake we displaced out of there because, " Henry " had done a good job eating some of the rats and I deeply respected him for that. He was quite tame. We used to step over him, and at our house " watch out for the snake. " meant " don't step on Henry, " not " don't get bitten. " After we cleaned out the garage his food supply was gone, he left and one day the neighbors said, " I just killed a five foot rat snake. " Such a harmless,beneficial creature who had become too trusting of Humans! What a shame!Freud and his ghost have done enormous damage to me and my family. I had to live with a brain sick mother my whole life because of the snickering and the moral judgment and the inexcusable ignorance and neglect afforded her and me by doctors and others. Because of this I have no tolerance for the opinion any physical health problem is mental or curable by any kind of so called psychotherapy.

Most of us have other reasons for being stressed: Heavy metal poisoning for instance. Did I mention I also have that?This mickel therapy as a treatment for thyroid problems sounds like Oprah's idea, " spend a month relaxing on a tropical island and you will be just fine. " Yeah, sure. I've spent almost 20 years mostly relaxing in Florida since I can't work, and it has not cured me. I suspect my Father's reasons for retiring to Florida had something to do with his own thyroid problems which I only found out about after he died and I found his medical records. I know he wasn't taking anything for it. Probably thought he could psyche himself out of it like I was supposed to do with the sleep apnea and allergies.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 , Could you send me more details about Mickel Therapy? I have located a therapist a few miles from here. I understand it is good for IBS, which I have in addition to Hashi. I am considering it. It is also suppose to reset the Hypothalmus, is this correct? Not sure if this discussion is appropriate for NTH. You may back channel me if you would like to.

If a person has Hashis, like I do, the thyroid is probably in pretty poor shape and would not regenerate.I am currently doing Mickel Therapy and they have never told me that I will be able to go off of Armour or HC.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I highly recommend it. Dr. Mickel himself had IBS for years which completely resolved with his own therapy.
