Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Dear na: Thats a perfect example of how synthetic drugs [don't] work. Synthroid is sold as...a substitute for your own thyroid hormone!! No synthetic drug can possibly do the same physiological job as your own natural hormone. When are we going to learn that drugs are only for suppressing symptoms and never address the cause of our health problems. When are we going to learn to consult with natural health care therapists? meaning...naturopaths, chiropractors, osteopaths, PhD's, some herbalists and a very, very few medically-trained personnel, some of whom have tweaked onto the fact that drugs simply don't solve health problems. In fact the greatest cause of distress, disease and death...are prescription drugs. The thyroid never needs " replacing!! " What the thyroid needs is... 1-elimination of possible auto-immune problems 2-the nutrients it requires to function normally The Thyroid Regeneration protocol addresses both of these needs plus more. The TRP is explained at www.thyrodine.com I have answered so many queries about the sad effects of synthroid, Eltroxin, Thyroxine. They are all synthetic drugs that mimic thyroid function but can never do the same physiological role. The thyroid gland is capable of working quite normally if only 1 and 2 above are addressed. Another consideration: when one takes synthetic hormones, you're on them for the rest of your life [profits!!!] When one corrects thyroid dysfunction through the TRP, the thyroid comes back to normal function and can be readily maintained by kelp sprinkled on your food. Earl New to list and hypothyroidism Hello, I joined the list yesterday and have been somewhat overwhelmed with the information. I am 24 years old, and went to my primary care facility a couple of months ago complaining of fatigue. I wanted to sleep ALL the time. They took blood, and my TSH level was 6. I was prescribed .5 mg of Synthroid once a day. I was not seen by a doctor, but by a physician's assistant. For a while, I had my energy back, but now, a couple months later, I am getting more and more tired throughout the day. I was also told to start exercising (hard to do with a full time job and a toddler, minus the Navy husband that's overseas), but take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk (instead of drive) to the mailbox to check the mail, etc. I have changed my eating habits considerably - no more fast food or junky treats! Even with these minor changes, I think I am putting on weight. I weigh more now than I did the day before I gave birth to my son 11 months ago. I also never feel full. I literally eat until there is nothing left in front of me. Is that common of hypothyroidism? Two years ago I was 113 lbs, now I am at least 100 lbs more than that. Well, I just wanted to share. na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Earl, I abosultely disagree with the statement on synthroid. I have been on it for over 25 years and have not had a problem with it. And that what synthroid is supposed to do. Act as a replacement hormone. My thryoid is actually considered dead and that why you need the synthroid. All medical personnel has told me this and that was explained to me. I always get my levels checked and as a matter of fact, its going to be checked next week or should i say the week after. Secondly, I totally disagree prescription drugs does not increase the problems it helps you. I tell you, if it were not for prescription drugs i would not be alive today and i would not at all be healthy. And the same goes for synthroid. I for one absolutly disagree with this statement altogether. There is nothing wrong with my auto-immune problems. I have not had any colds or infections in over three years. And nutrients will not be able to have your thyroid function normally. that is the job of synthroid. And without it, I be dead today. And yes i know i will be on them for the rest of my life. Any intelligent doctor would tell you that. And all the doctors that ih ave worked with, will tell me that. I for one, have a doctor in my family and he is in agreement with all of my other doctors.
