I use it for frying hash browns, and for making nice little chocolate candies. Really, you can use it as you would any oil, but you have to fry a little lower heat for longer because it smokes a little more easily. You can use it in cookie and cake recipes too. Taking it " raw " likely has other health properties, but using it as an oil replacement makes for easier-to-digest and tasty food products, which will still increase your metabolism. -- Heidi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I just thought I'd share what my new Endocrinologist told me. Since I get heart palpitations, that Armour would not be good. In some people, it can give a temporary euphoric feeling and crash. Just some interesting facts. He also said don't read online for information b/c most is incorrect. Where else are we supposed to go? The doctor every time we have a question?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thank you and Zahavi. I'm waiting for approval from the iodine group and will join the ones you mention.I've been on ldn since 22 April for RA. Is it too simplistic of me to compare the damage done to my joints before I took ldn, with any possible damage done to the thyroid - i.e. though I don't feel I have RA any more, the joint damage has not gone away, though it is reducing bit by bit. If ldn isn't helping the thyroid perhaps the problem isn't autoimmune.Anyway I'll go to those sites.MargaretFrom: mike3kit <mk3@...>Margaret Schooling <mschooling@...>Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 8:44:00 PMSubject: Re: Hypothroidism Yes it is possible that the immune system is attacking your thyroid. Look up Hashimoto's Thyroidism. LDN is also being used to treat this condition. Be careful, if what you are experiencing is from Hashimoto's and if they put you one thyroid medications this could change to hyperthyroidism because of too much thyroid meds in you body.Hashimoto's Throiditis (Dakini LDN Trial testimonial)http://forums.realthyroidhelp.com/viewtopic.php?f=11 & t=6277Alternative Health Solutions for Thyroid Autoimmunity (AHSTA.com)http://www.ahsta.com/L--- In low dose naltrexone , Margaret Schooling <mschooling@...> wrote:>> I have mentioned before that I've had guts issues since early April - 3 weeks before starting ldn.
