Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 L-Tyrosine was one of the supplements that got me back onto the road of recovery from 18 months of a fatigue prolem (which was made worse by stress). The other supplement that helped mainly from the stress point was Rhodiola. Both these are available in Dr D's Catechol but I found them to work better when taken separately. Just my experience.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Gaye, I also am hypothyroid. I'm on Levoxyl, and also take raw whole desiccated borine thyroid to boost all the other thyroid homones. I'm changing to another endocrinologist, as I am surrounded by allopathic docters, one of whom stated to me that he " didn't believe in taking vitamins " . an excellent site for thyroid disfunction sufferers is: http://thyroid.about.com Lot's of useful info, and also a great message board.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi, What is the name of this natural liquid supplement? Thanks Puneet Heissler <weehoo8@...> wrote: Hello. My family has a history of thyroid problems. My mom, aunts and cousins have had problems...even thyroid cancer. So I figure it's going to happen to me! I have found a natural liquid supplement that is helping people reduce and get off thyroid meds....except my mom because she doesn't believe in natural, holistic healing. What can you do!? I am not a scammer or anything so if you want info just email me at heissler.jcr@... . I look forward to learning more from all of you. --------------------------------- Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 That is correct but his T4 sounds high. What is the reference range for that? Also was his Free T3 run? That is the only # that was off for me and my daughter. I've got a thyroid question to piggy back if I may. My daughter is on Thyroid meds and needs to take them 4 hours away from calcium and a few other things. (I'm drawing a blank) If I give minerals 4x a day when can I give those meds? I've been trying to get her to take it sublingually but she won't go for it. Also I know I feel much better taking my thyroid meds first thing in the am. I'm sure there are other meds like this as well. How do people resolve this for their kids? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi Patty, Thanks for answering .The lab did not run T3 and I am upset at that. I need to research more on the T4 following your email below. How often do you need to give thyroid medication during the day, for oyur daughter ? If it makes you feel good to take it in the morning, chances are it will do the same for your precious one.

That is the only # that was off for me and my daughter. I'm pretty sure you need to make sure they have the right reference range as well - it's different for children compared to adults. > > I've got a thyroid question to piggy back if I may.

Also I know I feel much better taking my thyroid meds first thing in the am. > It can be tricky fitting everything in - the problem is that Calcium and Iron particularly, also coffee and phytates will bind to or block absorption of the Thyroid meds. The most important thing is to be consistant about when it is taken compared to the other substances so that you get as consistant an amount of the Thyroid meds absorbed as possible. Not all of it will be blocked, so you go for a consistant amount of it being blocked and work with symptoms and blood tests that apply to what you are doing. Eg if you always take the thryoid med with your coffee in the morning you won't be absorbing as much as you could absorb if you take it without the coffee - but because you do it everyday in the same way, you get a consistant amount, so you work with that. The other place to focus if you want to maximise dose absorption is to take it about 45min to an hour before the problem substance so that it's all absorbed first - also 4 hours after is a bit extreme, I've mostly heard 3 hours after for the blocking/binding substances.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 The way you read thyroid is different from the way you read other labs. The higher the number, the lower the levels. The lower the number, the higher the levels. A TSH of 3.36 to me would be too low. Myself and my son are both on thyroid (and our dog, too!) and most people function best around the 1 mark (I personally function best with an even lower number). Now this is for T3 so I'm not entirely sure of where the best functioning is with TSH. Here's what I do know: make sure you see a doc that knows about hormones. Can't stress this enough. If I took my thyroid labs to my gp I would leave being told I don't need thyroid. To a gen pract., if you fall within range you are fine. Not the case at all. There is an optimum functioning level and someone that knows about thyroid will know this.
