Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 great news that your sister has been finally diagnosed and feeling so much better! Does she have Hashi's? hugs, sheila tina83862 <tina83862@...> wrote:Talked to my sister today--the deal with her is after we found out why my daughter was ill, my family all had thyroid problems and this sister has had them 20 years undiagnoised--if you can believe that--- anyway ---good news--she is now off the adrenal glandulars--after finishing one bottle she felt a bit hyper--so off of those she went and onto thyodine (two a day) she said she has never felt better---no more afternoon nap--energy level is amazing and she has dropped 20 pounds---also on the South Beach diet and walking every night. She can't believe after all the hair loss ect. all these years was due to thyroid undetected from all her doctor friends as well-- I might add---- Anyway she is also taking digestive enzymes and yeast medications-- found out she had that as well. She has read everything and has been very careful with her supplements and on top of this her temp. is 98---so she is showing an amazing recovery. I told her though at her age (40) she may have to stay on a maintance dose of some kind--but she is so happy to be normal after all these years. my daughter was a bit jealous that Aunt Terri is showing 98 degrees already --hahaha ---M still gets cold, but she is under a lot of stress at college. She also said that the thyroid energy medication from Green willow tree really works---M said it gives her a lot of energy even one pill- -www.greenwillow.com look up thyroid supplements---- tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 We have no idea what kind of thyroid she has---she just started taking supplements one at a time to see if they would work, her doctor who is her best friend is totally against all of this (she is the dr. that told M it was ok not to have a period--so you can imagine I would never take M to see her. Anyway not all Hashi's people can't have iodine you know---only the ones with a goieter that is iodine caused and most hypo's don't have this kind only Hyper people do---most goieter's for hypo's are copper/zinc problems---so you really need to look into this by doing the iodine test on yourself. It's easy to do we posted it on a past board. It's really more important to find out if you are in need of iodine or not because without it all thyroid is affected one way or the other. So you can't assume all Hashi's have too much iodine because it could be the opposite. Doctors don't even test for this and it's the main nutrient needed for a thyroid to function!!!!! Oh and also selenium is very important for a functioning thyroid. Hashi's is just auto-immune in nature and to address this would be to support your immune system not necessary go iodine free. tina Talked to my sister today--the deal with her is after we found out > why my daughter was ill, my family all had thyroid problems and this > sister has had them 20 years undiagnoised--if you can believe that-- - > > anyway ---good news--she is now off the adrenal glandulars--after > finishing one bottle she felt a bit hyper--so off of those she went > and onto thyodine (two a day) she said she has never felt better--- no > more afternoon nap--energy level is amazing and she has dropped 20 > pounds---also on the South Beach diet and walking every night. > > She can't believe after all the hair loss ect. all these years was > due to thyroid undetected from all her doctor friends as well-- I > might add---- > > Anyway she is also taking digestive enzymes and yeast medications-- > found out she had that as well. > > She has read everything and has been very careful with her > supplements and on top of this her temp. is 98---so she is showing an > amazing recovery. > > I told her though at her age (40) she may have to stay on a maintance > dose of some kind--but she is so happy to be normal after all these > years. > > my daughter was a bit jealous that Aunt Terri is showing 98 degrees > already --hahaha ---M still gets cold, but she is under a lot of > stress at college. > > She also said that the thyroid energy medication from Green willow > tree really works---M said it gives her a lot of energy even one pill- > -www.greenwillow.com look up thyroid supplements---- > > tina > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 hi Tina, thanks for clarifying about the iodine and goiter and stuff. I can't even remember what I wrote...I was on a bad migraine hangover. I still have it but I'm not as fuzzy. anyway, i have a silly question. If they test our sodium levels is that the sames as checking our iodine levels? i don't understand why M's doctor would tell her it's okay to not have menstrual cycles. weird. no wonder you don't want her to see this doc! hugs, sheila tina83862 <tina83862@...> wrote: We have no idea what kind of thyroid she has---she just started taking supplements one at a time to see if they would work, her doctor who is her best friend is totally against all of this (she is the dr. that told M it was ok not to have a period--so you can imagine I would never take M to see her.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 NaCl, common salt. Properties Sodium chloride is readily soluble in water and insoluble or only slightly soluble in most other liquids. It forms small, transparent, colorless to white cubic crystals. Sodium chloride is odorless but has a characteristic taste. It is an ionic compound, being made up of equal numbers of positively charged sodium and negatively charged chloride ions. When it is melted or dissolved in water the ions can move about freely, so that dissolved or molten sodium chloride is a conductor of electricity; it can be decomposed into sodium and chlorine by passing an electrical current through it (see electrolysis). Natural Occurrence and Commercial Preparation Nearly all chemical compounds that contain either sodium or chlorine are ultimately derived from salt. Salt is widely and abundantly distributed in nature. It makes up nearly 80% of the dissolved material in seawater, and is the greater part of dissolved matter in the Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake, and in salt wells in various parts of the world. It is also widely distributed in solid form. The mineral halite is pure salt. Rock, or mineral, salt is usually less pure; it is found in large deposits in the United States, notably in New York, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, and Louisiana, and also in Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, and India. The manufacture and use of salt is one of the oldest chemical industries. Salt is mined from deposits or is obtained as a brine by introducing water into the deposits to dissolve the salt and then pumping the solution to the surface. Salt is also obtained by evaporation of seawater, usually in shallow basins warmed by sunlight; salt so obtained was formerly called bay salt, and is now often called sea salt or solar salt. Most salt for table use is obtained from seawater. It is usually not pure sodium chloride–it may contain natural impurities that provide dietary minerals, or small amounts of other substances (e.g., magnesium carbonate, hydrated calcium silicate, or tricalcium phosphate) may be added to prevent lumping. Biological Importance and Uses Salt is important in many ways. It is an essential part of the diet of both humans and animals and is a part of most animal fluids, such as blood, sweat, and tears. It aids digestion by providing chlorine for hydrochloric acid, a small but essential part of human digestive fluid. Persons with hypertensive heart disease often must restrict the amount of salt in their diet. Salt is widely used as a seasoning for foods and is used in curing meats and preserving fish and other foods. Iodized table salt usually contains small amounts of potassium iodide, sodium carbonate, and sodium thiosulfate. As a chemical salt is used in making glass, pottery, textile dyes, and soap. It is used in large amounts to melt ice and snow on streets and highways. The major use of salt is as a raw material for the production of chlorine, sodium metal, and sodium hydroxide; it is also used in large amounts in the Solvay process for making sodium carbonate. Historically, salt has been used as money; a high tax on salt was a contributing cause of the French Revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
