- Thyroid/Adrenals / was I am going to lose it!

[Guest guest]

,

Funny, I was going to email you about this to see what you are

doing. I have two different thyroid products - one is a glandular

(can't remember the brand and I am in Chicago, not at home in

Indiana, but from New Zealand stock, purchased at HFS in

Bloomington), and the other is from Whole Foods and is a

tyrosine/herbal concoction, also at home. I also ordered some

adrenal cortex extract under the theory that I should support the

adrenals at the same time dealing with the thyroid.

I have been debating about how to approach this. For the moment, I

am giving my son a small amount of the glandular (1/2 cap) spread out

over the day in three doses, and that is it. We noticed immediate

improvement in language and gross motor. My thought it that I don't

want to tax his adrenals at the expense of his thyroid, so I probably

want to add the adrenal cortex extract next (when it arrives), and

assuming that works, to add in some of the tyrosine herbal stuff to

support there. We are going to go in for blood tests in about a

month to gauge where we are and start thinking about whether we need

to find someone to prescribe armour thyroid.

Please, anyone, feel free to chime in and make

suggestions/corrections, etc. I am angry that the docs (a regular

ped, an alternative non-DAN and a DAN) didn't pick this up earlier

(all the signs were there) and am feeling like I am going it a bit

alone on this one. Shows you how much good the docs are!

And , as I know this is something you are currently dealing

with, I would love to know what you are doing/have done.
