Re: Son's thyroid result, Andy and other experts can you please comment? --Kenny

[Guest guest]

Hi Kenny

I have both of Andy's book. Since I am new to the thyroid stuff, I want to get

more input from more experienced parents. Be sure I am on the right track.

I forgot to include his TSH is 3.4. His TSH is little elevated, but the FT3,

Ft4, T3 and T4 seem in pretty good range. That is why I am not sure would he be

hypothyroid? Also I am not sure if he has HASHI b/c the Antibodies is elevated

at 20?

Thanks

disappeared immediately after give him the seaweed soup. THANK YOU, Andy).

Hi

I'm not an expert regards Thyroid, but then not many people are including most

Docs and unfortunately most Endo's, also the units used here in Australia are

different to these.

However TSH at 3.4 seems quite high to me even though I'm pretty sure this is

within the suggested Euthyroid range.

Also the fT3 is a little on the low side even if this an appropriate age

ref.range ideally fT3 should be in the upper 3rd of an appropriate ref.range in

young children.

Armour Thyroid may be something worth considering, alternatively or as well,

things like Celtic sea salt, Iodine, Selenium might help although would not be

as effective as Armour.

Supporting the adrenals 1st would be wise as Thyroid supps can put added stress

on adrenals if these are not supported 1st.

Again I'm no expert so don't take what I say as definitive, these are only

suggestions or possibilities, but IMO worth considering.

All the best

Kenny
