healing on Armour

[Guest guest]

Hi wise and learned friends:

I hate being away from my computer all day (had a blood draw yesterday

and other things to do.) I have been steadily going through the

postings, but I think I may be all day at it...LOL

Here's the question:

Is there any info or new thought on how to heal and what needs to be

healed in the body so hypo-ism can be cured not managed? (I can just

hear all of y'all laughing and saying, " If we new that, this group

wouldn't exsist! " ) Red-faced but ever-hopeful, I'll plunge ahead...

I was diagnosed last March, spent 5 months just listening to my

doctor. I have since wised up and am seeking a solution (like all of

us) not just a management program. When I asked her for the solution

to this disease, she chuckled and said, " On your last day of life on

this earth, you will have taken your thyroid that morning. " So off I

go on my journey, completely disregarding her remarks.

Tradiitonal Chinese Medicine (TCM) does not recognize hypothyroidism

as a diagnosis...they look at spleen, kidneys, liver etc as the source

and hypo the side effect (as I understand it.) I started a program

with a local TCM doc back in July. Began feeling great, have had a

" reversal " of several aches and aggrevations. By the end of August, I

was hyper and being told to reduce Synthroid in half. Hooray! But a

month after that, I was worse, TSH-wise, that ever. I am now on

double the amount of Synthroid. (-still looking for the doc to

prescribe ARMOUR, and have a new appointment on Thursday to try again.)

I noticed a couple folks mention the phrase " give your body time to

heal on ARMOUR. " hummmmmm, I think...sounds like my kind of thinking.

Can any one expand on that thought? How does ARMOUR help the body

heal?

Has anyone had the experience of getting better, not just less

symptoms, but reduction in the natural thyroid doseage requirement,

feeling better....things like that. ~Elaine
