Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 > HI Bee > > I was wondering do you suggest I go back to get the doctor to increase my Thyroid meds? My thyroid used to be between .50 to .75 and that was the best time I ever felt. Now it's increased to 3.3 and I feel terrible. My skin is all dry, hair falling out, constipated absolutely no energy and I feel like I'm dead ....... it's terrible +++Hi Maddy. I'm surpised your doctor didn't increase your dose after your last test. So yes, see your doctor about it. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Marelene, I have successfully kept my Hashimoto's in check since 1993, just take your med and you'll be fine; the dose may need tweaking occasionally, but your synthroid should " fix " all your symptoms; one of the easiest AI conditions to live with.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Are there any PBC'ers out there with Hashimoto's or Hypoactive thyroid taking thyroid replacement other than levothyroxine (generic for Levoxyl, Synthroid, etc)? I have taken levothyroxine for over 30 years, but recently had the amount changed from 100 mcg's to 75 mcg's and now the TSH is in the normal range. My question is: is anyone taking Armour thyroid or Thyrolar---a natural thyroid replacement as opposed to synthetic? I was wondering if there would be less hair thinning and loss, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have been on all thyroid meds and synthroid is the best one. The natural one they can not control as much and made me really sick. I was told in 2001 I had hyperthyroid-Graves Disease and went through treatment but it didn't fully kill my thryroid so now I have Hashimoto. I got really bad and went through several Doc before they relized I needed Synthroid not any other I take 137mg daily and have been super . Well if you have any question I be glad to take thyroid disease is really bad if not treated right but is a easy fix if you get the right meds.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 ...ok, i knew it was dessicated animal thyroid but forgot it was from pigs. i think i recall folks who use it go by their own judgment if they're getting hypered up or otherwise, and regulate themselves that way. usually regulation isn't super critical... and the problem with dosing with anything or even being able to diagnose thyroid issues is that TSH levels vary and an occasional test doesn't tell much, it really takes a series of them over time to know correctly what's going on. read into that website and you'll know the questions to ask yourself whether or not you might do better with one or the other. i'd learn all about it before asking her if it's healthier... then you can evaluate her response better, and be prepared to discuss it. CRS is a hassle for sure... comes with active hep for me, but it's always been a problem for me to varying degrees. i'm better lately though. i pretty much always know where my wallet, keys, glasses, and tools are now. and who owes me for what and how much. > RE: grapefruit > > > > i just called my regular doc,the receptionist is going to get > > my question to her and call me back...i told her that i heard > > about this armour for thyroid and she says yes there are > > people taking it,and i said well i would like to know why > > she(my doc) didnt prescribe it to me so... she will get > > bac to me after she talks to my doc is this stuff safer > > for us or wats the deal? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your symptoms are related to low thyroid function, which most candida sufferers have. The reason is because candida toxins make all of the cell membranes rigid/stiff which interferes with the functioning of all organs. It also means hormones, like those produced by the thyroid, along with nutrients and water, aren't as able to get into stiff cells - see this article for more information: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cabout1.php I think it is better not to start on thyroid meds since your body becomes dependent upon them, and while they may improve some symptoms, they don't help the thyroid improve. It will take time, but your thyroid will normalize on this program, as many other members have reported. So it is best to just focus on carefully following this program.

Sorry I just realized you are a new member, so welcome to our group. Most candida sufferers have low thyroid and adrenal functioning, which will normalize on this program. Many members of this group have been able to lower their meds as they prograess, so that when their thyroid and adrenals normalize the meds won't interfere. See this article which explains why: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cabout1.php It is very important you read about candida, and learn what you need to do and why - you can also take a Candida Test. Here's 2 important article: How to Successfully Overcome Candida Curing Candida, How to Get Started: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/candida/index.php For encouragement see the Success Stories (some include normal thyroid and adrenal functioning on my program): http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Chuck, The book is called " The Oil That Heals " and is an excellent resource. Thanks for mentioning it. Cheers, Robin Thyroid Joyce, it probably wouldn't hurt to let a few drops soak in the back of your throat every day just to boost up your immune system. Caster oil like this also quickly gets rid of sore throats, allergies, and was used by Native Americans to stop pink eye by placing a drops in the eye. Dr McGarey has a book about it. I think it's called " The Cayce Cures " .. Maybe Dudley can straighten that out because I am not sure of the title or the spelling of his name. It was originally called de Palma Cristi (the hand of Christ). It also gets rid of moles and things that should not be there when used properly.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks, Chuck and Robin. That might actually be the one by McGarey that I have. Have to check later. I'm getting some promising results getting an eye floater to " dissolve " using castor oil drops in my eye once in AM once in PM, as well as gently massaging. Got rid of an ovarian cyst with the c oil a few years ago. Amazing stuff. Clears up constipation without having to drink it! Got rid of a wart on face in a week using castor oil and baking soda. Dr. was going to have to charge me $1,000 just to be admitted to hospital room for surgical removal! Said no thanks, rubbed some in at night. Felt pieces coming off. Decided not to be so lazy about mixing with baking soda. Finished out week with it as paste mixture of the 2 ingredients. Amazing results! The poster who was looking for people's reports on success using Cayce treatments has my permission to use this info. Can't put in throat at this time. Been having trouble with loose bowels and horrible hemmorhoids (too much info?) lately. Dr. did rubber band ligation on 3 internals, but I still have a nasty external. She says don't have surgery unless I can't stand it any more. Says the surgery is very unpleasant. Just started using TIM. Baking soda and Glyco Thy... enemas, keeping stricter to alkaline diet, and taking baking soda have all been helpful. Baking soda- a tsp in a glass of water gets rid of my acid reflux better than any pills on the market! The reading about acidity not being so much indicated from diets is #1026-1, No.18. It's from " ...inability through these secretions for the activities of certain glands...to make for eliminations in the system itself. " Blessings to you.
