Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 this person should try Armour thyroid, although docs do not know how to dose it. also low iron can cause hairloss. look at http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com Gracia I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your health problems. However, I wonder if you have Hashimoto's? If so that condition can go up and down for no known reason, and can cause symptoms to change from hypo to hyper and back again, especially if you are on a T4 medication. One thing I can tell you: There are no known supplements that will " cure " hypothyroidism. And none of the cleansing of parasites/colon/liver and so on have any credible research supporting their effectiveness; most of their support comes from quacks, con artists and well meaning people with little or no education in health care. Your symptoms to me are indeed confusing. Perhaps a report on whether you have Hashimoto's will give someone a clue to help you. One thing to suggest: When your diabetes us well controlled sometimes other symptoms will decrease or disappear IIRC.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 how about enough Armour too?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I have been losing hair also, whole body an head but I also have a pit. tumor. If I try to take more than 2 grains of Armour, I do go into a Rt3 problem. On 2 grains I am doing well, most of my symptoms except for not loosing the weight I want, are gone. But why this hairloss....tumor? I have seen two doctors about the tumor and both say not to do anything now and come and see me in 6 mo. Not sure I agree with this however.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 any kind of tumor, growth, cancer etc requires iodine/iodide. if you have no adrenal support youwill probly have to stay at 2 grains. gracia I have been losing hair also, whole body an head but I also have a pit. tumor.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 you had a blood test? it is not accurate--they always come back " normal " . you could do a saliva test I guess. I think most hypos need adrenal support. Gracia Gracia, I had the ACTH STIM test last week and I am waiting to see the actual numbers but my doctor did say it came back normal. So I am guessing that means I do not have an adrenal issue, right. I am waiting to see the numbers and to check them and to see what really is normal.
