Herbal Treatment

[Guest guest]

Hi Lilli, I have pondered your question for a

couple days and have researched a bit as well. I

honestly believe that a synthetic replacement (the meds we

all take) is the only way to keep the thyroid

functioning properly. It is not a simple case of taking an

extra vitamin or mineral to get the wheels churning. I

have read 'Garden of Eden' by Jethro Kloss which is an

herbal 'bible', and I also have read 'Dr. Atkins

Vita-Nutrient Solutions'. Dr. Atkins does suggest that Selenium

in conjuction WITH a thyroid replacement will help

to acheive a healther state. However; there is no

suggestion in either of these respected books that would

suggest a total replacement for thyroid hormones. If you

have heard of an alternative I would love to check it

out. Either way, you would be swallowing a pill daily,

be it prescribed or from a health food store.

<br><br>Just my two cents.

I have not posted in a long long time - but I didn't know of where

else to go so....Hello everyone

I recently talked to someone with an extreme hyper case - she lost her

insurance and had to treat herself, she researched online and went

herbal. When she got insurance back and returned to her doc she was

cured - Her doctor is baffled but she is not on any medication

anymore. We got to talking and I just wondered if I could treat my

extreme hypo in a similar way. I was wondering if anyone had " cured "

their hypo with herbal treatment, and was successful? I would love to

hear your herbal story

Thank you

Hi Helen - be VERY WARY of herbal supplements unless you are going to some kind

of licensed practitioner. You will find stuff ALL over the internet offering

'cures' but with no research, and if you go on their sites they offer the same

'cure' for any number of diseases.

I can understand the reluctance to have surgery and barring other factors -

botox is not usually the best option for us - but we have found that the VAST

majority of us have done best with surgery - performed by an EXPERIENCED

surgeon.

We may be able to help you better if we know more about you. How old are you,

how long have you had A, where do you live, do you have any other health issues,

etc?

We'll do our best to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

Glad you found us, between us all, we have many hundreds of years of experience

dealing with A.

It has posted here several times that there is some internet seller(s) that have

made links to every possible medical issue, and the meications are just made up

to make them sound like cures. One that comes to mind is acholab. If you look

up th eold postings, you will likely realize they look like a scam. Snake oil.

Expensive. etc. Waste of money in my opinion. Be very suspicious of those

things. I'll try to find the links when I have more time.
