Kim Your therapy for Graves disease should include cold-processed whey and selenium, along with other antioxidants. For verification go to PubMed, here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=Search & DB=PubMed and enter graves AND glutathione in the search box. " Conclusion: The results of the study clearly indicate that supplementation with antioxidants in the treatment of Graves' disease is justified, particularly those containing selenium. PMID: 14967159 [PubMed - in process] " My recommendation would be 60 grams undenatured whey powder and 200- 600 mcg selenium, along with vitamins A, C, and E as a minimum, with a good diet, mineral supplements magnesium, calcium, potassium, and improving mineral absorption by correcting bowel flora with inulin. Eliminating corn, canola, and soy oils and particularly all soy products from the diet will be an asset; it's highly thyroid- suppressive when more than a couple of tablespoons are used. The TENS device can be used; all forms of electrical therapy tend to knock toxins around and return cellular function to normal. I'd take the hint from its use in cancer therapy, where current stops the growth of tumours, to apply the current to the area of the thyroid; can't hurt and I think that's where it might do the most good. Look into Lugol's iodine as a thyroid supplement. I can probably recommend a few more things; anyone can contact me privately... regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Thank you a bunch..I would love your other recommendations. I took selenium a little while but need to get back on it regularly. Please let me know what else you think would help- thank you! Kim > > > > > > > Would the zapper help Grave's disease?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi Kim, I ran across this information on Dr. Sauls Website http://www.doctoryourself.com If you Surf the Website, you may even find more info. GRAVES DISEASE " I usually approach Graves Disease by first giving standard solution potassium iodide (SSKI) to control the symptoms (and occasionally fix the problem right there). I don't like using kelp because you don't really know how much iodine you're getting. For the SSKI, I usually follow the PDR recommendation of about 30 drops a day (not all at once!) mixed in a healthy volume of water. You get tingling if you take it too fast. I'll do that for a week or two, depending on the response, then adjust or stop. Repeat later if needed. But do watch it, for too much iodine can be toxic. " Then I go after the autoimmune aspects by using protocols similar to those from the Arthritis Trust ( http://www.arthritistrust.org (click " Education " and then " Articles " ). Of course, all patients start out with instructions for a healthy diet and supplements--after all, you must get the basics right before you can expect anything else to work. As for supplements: the basic multivit/multimin plus omega 3 fatty acids, but that's for anyone that walks through the door,regardless of what's wrong. " Though there's more to add, this is a good start for most folks. " Peace, Tim , M.D. http://altdoc.250x.com zapper/tens unit/grave's disease Would the zapper help Grave's disease?
