Re: OT: Adrenal/Thryoid issues

Think the safest course is to try the iodine and take ACE, C, and lots of

pantothenic acid. Then check and see where you are. If it doesn't raise the

thyroid levels enough, then consider Armour. But Armour is quite a ride, I have

been on it for awhile now and am still constantly adjusting my dose. IMO, stay

away from any kind of cortizone for the adrenals.

[ ] OT: Adrenal/Thryoid issues

I am unsure what to do here. I know that I have fatigued adrenals, and

slow thyroid. Desperate to treat both now but not sure the wisest

course, should I treat one first or both. I did have amalgams removed

two months ago, and know that it is mercury related. Doc suggested I

wait a year to see if thyroid bounces back. But I am stressed, edgy,

moody, can't relax, fatigued, and not functioning well. So of course,

I would like some relief and not sure which to treat first that might

provide a more dramatic relief to the agony. Or can I treat them both.

Should I just add iodine for the thyroid and treat the adrenal for now?

Please advise, I have researched but I am still not getting what to do

and how.

You and I are in the same boat. I have grave's disease, which started

out hyper then slowly started falling into hypo. Everything I have

been told by my regular doctor has been either usesless, foolish or

wrong.

I feel like I am at the end of my illness, and that I am only one or

two interventions away from complete recovery. If I had to do it over

again, I would do this:

Start the Specific Carbohydrate Diet right away.

Drink a cup of weak tea every morning before breakfast.

Do some kind of relaxation excersizes

Take bladderwrack

and

MB12 nasal spray (I haven't done this yet, but it is my next step.

Actually, I should have probably started with MB12).

That really pisses me off. Do not wait a minute! Try to find a doctor

who will listen to how you're feeling and try to help you get better.

The about.com thyroid site has a list of doctors who prescribe Armour,

or you can try looking for a local DO or CAM practitioner.

I know, it really stinks. Get a copy of Andy's " Amalgam Illness " , if

you don't have one already, and look up your symptoms. He has

extensive suggestions on what to take to ease symptoms while you

chelate or prepare to chelate.
