thyroid

[Guest guest]

Dear Ryaz,

I will not give you any ayurvedic advise here.

 

I am not a doctor. I am just a thyroid patient myself,

and I can tell you wich are the steps to take in the

begining.I live in USA.

 

Sometimes TSH is of no value what so ever> lots of

good thyroid doctors do not care for it. They go by

the symptoms and some other tests. Plus, the board of

endocrinologists revised the "normal limits "

recently, and many doctors are not aware about that.

lots of women with all "normal" thyroid tests are

actually hypothiroid and they have good results under

allopat thyroid medication or ayurvedic treatment.

 

 

The reliable tests are

Free T3

free T4 and

thyroid antibodies.

 

Free T3 and Free T4 mean the available thyroid

hormones, the ones that the body can actually use. If

the doctors looked for total T3 or T4 , that again is

of no value as they show the total thyroid hormone in

the body ( available and binded). This test will also

show if the body converts properly the T4 into T3

which will point the way to take for the future

medication.

 

Some patients can have plenty of T4 and normal TSH and

they can show low T3 which is the "active" hormone,

the one that will do the actual job.

 

Then is the Thyroid Antibody test that will show if

your Mom has or not an autoimune disease, which means

that the body is ataccking the thyroid and killing

it.This might be the cause for abnormal cells found at

biopsy.

 

These are reliable tests and then the doctor must go

by the symptoms.

 

If your Mom has cold feet, cold hands, depressed,

thinning hair, low blood pressure, scally skin on her

legs, most probably she is hypothiroid, which means

low thiroid function or can be both thyroid and

adrenals. You can just type in a searching engine

"hypothyroid symptoms" or "hyperthyroid symptoms"and

find out what s about.

 

If she has an autoimune disease the thyroid can swing

from hypothyroid to hiperthyroid making things even

more confusing.

 

Feel free to write me again, I ll share with you my

knowledge. Be aware that not many medical doctors know

a lot about the latest research in the thyroid field

so you have to find a good one.

 

It is very good she had a biopsy done, and is no

suspicion of cancer.

 

Even with the right allopat thyroid treatment the

nodules usually stop growing or even receed. But if

the nodule grows it has to be removed because it can

afect breathing.

 

As soon as you know exactly what s going on, ayurveda

will be a very good way to take to cope with the

disease. If it is Hypothyroidism the heart must be

strenghned. If is hyper the thyroid has to be

pacified.

 

All the best to you and your Mom,

 

Maria
