Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 I thought kelp was for an overactive thyroid, not underactive or hypothyroid. If it doesnt matter, (bec. mine used to be hypothyroid) I might try this and see if I notice a difference. Thank you Take good care.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 Valerie, Hi, Yes Armour is from dissected pig gland. It is a prescription. If you friend has Hashimotos disease, (autoimune thyroid disease) then iodine products are not a good idea to take. Just from the several articles I've read. Stress, depression, chlorine, pollutants, diet, toxins, all can effect the thyroid. Hope this helps just a little. Renee PS Lab tests alone are not always the answer, so a dr. should go by symptoms AND lab work when diagnosing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 I have a comment about the thyroid and metabolism. I have felt that my metabolism has slowed down now that I am probably officially in " middle age " and I have used green foods especially sea foods like kelp and dulce. I can not say that these have really made any significant difference in my life. I have become a better and better " keeper " as mother puts it, meaning it is easy to put on weight and hard to take it off. However, recently we switched over to 100% virgin coconut oil for all of our oil needs. There is lots of information at the Weston A. Price foundation and at Lauric.org (Dr. Mary Enig) as well as books by Dr. Bruce Fife and Dr. Raymond Peat (both of these guys are naturopaths) that has stirred up my interest in trying this. Both Dr. Raymond Peat and Dr. Bruce Fife say that they lost weight when they switched over to coconut oil because it increased their metabolism. They said the seed oils with their long chain fatty acids actually cause hypothyroidism. Apparently these long fatty acid chains are hard to metabolize and cause weight gain as well. The coconut oil is made up mostly of medium chain. These fatty acids are also like those found in a human mother's milk and are very easily digested. They do not form trans fatty acids when heated during cooking either. And according to these naturopaths and others the coconut oil burns more like a carbohydrate than a fat. Well we made the switch over to coconut oil about 3 weeks ago and I do believe it has effected my metabolism. The coconut oil is the only thing we have changed in our diet. (There are other health benefits from this coconut oil as well). If it is true that the seed oils muck up the thyroid, then you might want to get rid of them for a while and see what happens. Virgin Coconut oil seems to be a nice alternative. Here are some sites with information you might want to look at: By Mary Enig: http://www.ospc.com/coco.htm http://www.apcc.org.sg/special.htm By Dr. Raymond Peat: http://www.efn.org/raypeat/coconut.rtf At Weston A. Price: http://www.westonaprice.org/coconut_oil2.htm http://www.westonaprice.org/thailand.htm By Dr. John Kabara MD: http://www.apcc.org.sg/John.PDF By Conrado Dayrit MD http://www.apcc.org/Dayrit.PDF I hope I got all those right. It appears we have been told a lot of false information about saturated fats and unsaturated fats over the past 30 years. As unsaturated fat intake has risen and saturated fat intake decreased, heart disease moved to the number 3 killer, then the number 2 killer, and now is the number 1 killer. Has any one else on this list read any of this stuff or tried the coconut oil?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 These foods are known as goitrogens, because they combine with the iodine, and make it unavailable for absorption; according to a sourcebook that I've read, depending on degree of hypothyroidism, you can eat these in small quantities, and cooking deactivates in general. I haven't seen the site to which you refer, but the supposed worst offenders are the brassica (examples as mentioned) family. Steve ----------------------------- Thank you so much to all of those who answered about the thyroid situation. It is very helpful. By the way, this site that Margaret sent shows what foods/nutrition to use and that which to avoid. Can you imagine that with hypothyroid you should avoid (among other things) spinach, broccoli, cabbage, and kale?! These are the very things I would think would be super good for you under all circumstances.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Now i want to know more about this KelpT formula. Might be useful in my personal life. Apparently thyroid problems respond to some variation, according to my limited observations. Well, we get variation in life anyway -- doing the same thing every day is unnatural. I understand that there is a move to take Synthroid off the market. So falling back on anything to do with kelp is a good idea. Generally i've been just using seaweed in cooking, and occasional kelp tablets. Have a close family member who was once on Synthroid.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2001 Report Share Posted December 1, 2001 I'm interested in this topic too. When I was 29, my thyroid " super nova'ed " and went sky high. My resting pulse (laying down) was 140. The Medicos said I was going to die, and gave me radioactive iodine, aiming for a 90% kill of the gland. For decades I've been on Synthroid, but right now I'm on Levoxyl (isn't that generic Synthroid?). I don't really know what to do about this, and it's tricky to get the level right, so I'm reluctant to mess with it on my own. My insurance doesn't cover naturopaths, darn it. Suggestions would be very appreciated! Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Hi All, I wonder if anyone can tell me what cause thyroid imbalance and whether it can be 'cured'. The reason I ask is because my sister had hyperactive thyroid for years. I have a strong suspicion that the drugs she took is somehow linked to her rheumatoid arthritis. Now I seem to have hypothyroid and my partner keeps telling me that I just need to take a 'little pill' like his mum did for the rest of my life and I am not keen but whatever I am taking don't seem to be working yet. What I want to know is whether it is 'hereditary' and my chance of getting back to complete normality. I also want to know more about hormonal imbalance in general, and would be grateful for any information. Many thanks, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 There are many herbs one can take rather than a "little pill" My mother had half her thyroid taken out and way on that really bad thyroid medicine and it totally tore up her rectum and colon.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Endocrine problems are poorly treated, undertreated or untreated. Something like 65 different diseases are directly or indiectly related to low thyroid. I really don't know if there is a specific test for iodine! Oh yes there is, buy a bottle of tincture of iodine in the drugstore, dab some on your arm, and see how fast it disappears. If fast, then you would benefit from more iodine containing foods; if slow, then you have enough. Iodine is supposed to exacerbate autoimmune thyroid disease. people quickly die without a thyroid gland, yet everyday in this country thyroid glands are destroyed by radiation RAI (used to cause other cancers but they say it is safer now!!) or surgery. Gracia Dear Group, I do not know that much about thyroid problems, but I have read that a lot of thyroid problems can come from enviournmental toxins, chemicals in the diet, especially pharmacuetical drugs, and low or high iodine levels. My first choice would be a check on iodine level and proceed from there. It has been a very popular medical practice for some time to " kill " the thyroid by cutting it out or injecting a poisonous substance to do it. This to me seems very counterproductive to health. Then the patient has a lifetime of either animal thyriod or an artificial substitute and is a guaranteed customer for some doctor and drug company. just my thoughts, Frank Here is what Dr. Saul says, http://www.doctoryourself.com/thyroid.html Thyroid (If you have come to this page for advice, you might be surprised to see a book review instead. My advice is to read this book. The review will summarize it, but cannot replace it.) THYROID POWER by Richard L. Shames and Karilee H. Shames. NY: Harper Collins (2001) ISBN: 0-688-17236-9 (296 pages, plus endnotes, bibliography, index, and glossary.) If you are one of the " millions who struggle with subtle low-thyroid conditions, " this book is right up your street. Richard Shames, M.D., is a general practitioner with special interest and experience in treating thyroid problems. Compared to so many physicians who literally laugh patients out of the office when they ask about thyroid supplementation, Dr Shames and his wife (who is a registered nurse and PhD) offer a reasoned, compassionate alternative to just " learning to live with it. " Thyroid Power clearly explains the important difference between T-3 and T-4 thyroid hormone. T-3 (triiodothyronine) would seem to be the one to watch. Doctors characteristically over-emphasize your T-4 (l-thyroxine, or " storage " thyroxine) level and effectively ignore T-3 (fast-acting or " active " thyroxine) levels. Physician fixation on test results' numbers, which are inadequate to detect borderline conditions, results in masses of people suffering the symptoms of low thyroid. These all-too-common symptoms include fatigue, depression, weight gain, insomnia, difficult menopause, endometriosis, and quite a variety of others including arthritis and rheumatic complaints, low sex drive, infertility, and skin problems. Many, many persons are therefore " uncomfortable but still normal. " What to do? First of all, if you feel crummy, insist on thyroid testing, and get a copy of your test results. By law, your doctor must provide them to you if you ask. So ask! Interpretation of the tests is likely to be better if you are in on it, and easier if you have Thyroid Power in your hands. The book provides case histories and the numbers to look for. Since a " normal " or even somewhat high T-4 can coexist with the symptoms of low thyroid function, do not accept a test for T-4 alone. Insist on T-3 testing as well, and pay special attention to it. TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) testing will almost always be done. High TSH levels " means that the brain and pituitary (gland) are asking for more thyroid hormone. " (p 62) (By the way, " pituitary " was left out of the index, and should be added.) The authors consider any TSH number over 3.0 to be " suspicious, and anything over 4.0 merits treatment " if symptoms are present (p 75). Second, use the self-assessments provided in the book on pages 20-21, 39-40 and 55-58. They will walk you through and assist you, and your doctor, in making a proper diagnosis. For example, one thing you can do is take your basal body temperature using a sensitive ovulation thermometer, or mercury basal thermometer. This you do before you even get out of bed in the morning. Third, with tests in, be prepared to require your doctor to take action. The authors say you should " obtain a trial of thyroid medicine, regardless of blood test results. " This statement will not endear them to the entire medical community, but who cares about that any more? Your health is not a popularity contest. Still, the authors wisely provide what amounts to a letter of introduction for you to show to your physician. It is tucked away at the back of the book on pages 261-266, but don't leave home without it. It is very to the point and complete with many recent references from scientific journals. On page 80 you learn what to say to a doctor who wishes to deny you thyroid supplementation because your T-4 is high. These were brilliant inclusions. You will need them. Fourth, learn the side effects of too much thyroid. These include: rapid heartbeat, unusual difficulty sleeping, sweating and otherwise feeling hot, hyperactivity, a racing mind, and twitching. Contrary to popular medical myth, thyroid medication does not cause osteoporosis; it helps prevent it. The attitude of Thyroid Power essentially is this: If you have symptoms, here's something you can do about it. " Each person is his or her own best physician, " the authors say (p 103). I like that. I also like their many natural healing recommendations, including stress reduction, avoiding chemicals in both food and environment, choosing organic foods, and taking vitamin supplements. I was disappointed that the text recommends only 1,000 mg of vitamin C, which is wholly inadequate to supply the adrenal support the authors call for in chapter 7. In the back of the book, the suggested supplement list (p 296) calls for as much as 2,500 mg of vitamin C, but this is slightly contradictory. and in any event, still too low to do the job. The B-complex recommendation is likewise overly conservative. The balance of the supplemental recommendations are generally quite good, notably the one calling for at least 400 IU of vitamin E, plus calcium, magnesium, zinc and chromium, and other nutrients as well. Many practical hints are provided. Stop caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, and aspartame ( " Nutrasweet " ) use. Excess iodine supplementation will not help low thyroid sufferers. Take thyroid medication on an empty stomach. If you still have low thyroid symptoms with a TSH of 2 or lower, order a TRH (Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone) test. All the different brands of thyroid medication are discussed. (p 87-106) How to tailor the dose is on pages 88-89. Why you will gain weight if you do not have enough T-3 is on page 168. The sections on herbal remedies are entirely too brief. Readers are interested in herbs, their specific dosage, preparation and side effects. A two-page presentation (p 164-5) and scattered mentions here and there is just not what we expect from a work authored by a holistic physician. Homeopathy is similarly praised, but sketchily treated (p 204-206). No specific, low-dose homeopathic remedies are recommended for thyroid conditions. That is a major omission. At the very least, much more complete homeopathic and herbal bibliographies are needed in Thyroid Power. An unexpectedly pleasant surprise was the authors' uncompromising criticism of water fluoridation. It takes a bold medical author (and publisher, for that matter), to so solidly slam fluoride, which though " currently touted as harmless enough to be put into the water supply, has been used in the past as a powerful medication to slow down overactive thyroid activity. " A citation to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology backs up this most interesting statement. The authors clearly state that water fluoridation is a significant cause of low thyroid illness in millions of people. They also mention the curious origins of water fluoridation, first employed in Nazi concentration camps to allegedly " force inmates into submission. " (p 173) The authors' unequivocal conclusion: " Do not allow your children to be treated with fluoride. " (p 175) Thyroid Power is a very good work. I rarely say this about a book that recommends medication, but I have personally seen what thyroid can do. In her early fifties, my mother suffered from arthritis, depression, skin problems, fatigue, unexplained weight gain and assorted other miserable symptoms. Nothing seemed to help, until she got a new, younger family physician. He promptly put her on thyroid medication, and she was a new woman. Her singing voice came back, along with her get-up-and-go. Her weight came down, her joy of living came up, and her skin looked great. No more bags under the eyes; no more three-hour daily naps. If this is you, then Thyroid Power is for you.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Hi Kimberly, I was not logged in over the weekend, but scanned the messages and did not see any specific remedies for thyroid, HOWEVER... the Total Body cleanse has helped many people - myself included restore Thyroid function. I have not had to take Synthroid in over 7 weeks now and feel better than i ever did while taking it. I would suggest that your friend log in to the group and request her free tape; then read baout the cleanse and call Doc to discuss her particular case.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004  but anyways what are some ways to help the thyroid out?? Total tonic should help the thyroid, however, I would be adding bladderwrack to the diet as it is very specific for thyroid. When I was borderline hypothyroid, taking bladderwrack (which I encapsulated as I thought it had a very powerful taste) made a huge difernce for me.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Coconut oil is really beneficial for Hypothryroid. TT is great. If he is not interested in that formula, then Kelp, Blue-green algae, spirulina & chlorella. Stay away from Soy products. Rob, if you can get him interested in the cleanse, this is probably the single most inmportant thing he can do. I am now going on 5 months without a thyroid pill after taking it for 3 years, and feeling healthier and more vibrant than ever.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 The 3 pm tp 5 pm downtime is quite common amongst allof us but since I am always a later sleeper and late riser I do not have that problem... maybe the trick is to SLEEP a little longer in the morning so the DT will be later perhaps after work...which woo be purfect !!! IT is simply your body telling you to rest...many cultures other than our LIVE by teh CLOCK society like China or Mexico (in the old days) have afternoon rest periods or SIESTAS around this time...if you are a early riser... our body cycels coo be adjusted but dont do it too often or it might get permanently confused...which is probbal what they called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome a few years back.... I woo rather work for LESS Money but in a job which matches my body cycle...if you are an afternoon or evening perhaps find jobs in 24 hour organizations like hospitals to work their afternoon or evening shifts so you WONT need to put any stimulants in your body to keep awake...natural or artificial... Always go with what Mother Nature designed for you as a unique Child of God dess....Blessings to ALL living Beings...
