Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 hi all hope you're all doing well. I'm doing my best to keep up with the list and learn all these neat things, but of course i am in the process of reading through about 500 back emails Anyways, a few questions before i forget. First of all, does anyone know of particularly good supplements for stabilizing hypertension. They must be safe to take with Synthroid. Unless you can recommend any alternatives to synthroid Another question, I have found a bunch of resources finally that have contact information for alternative docs in my area. The only reason im hesitating is because i don't know how to find a good one-- is there anyone from Long Island, NY that knows of a great ND or herbalist? If not, does anyone have tips on how to find a good one when i dont know of anyone that uses one. And finally... I am seriously considering going into alternative medicine. I'm not sure whether to go for naturopathy, herbalism, reiki, or what but i noticed that there are a lot of you on the list that are learning right now. If any of you can email me privately i'd love to pick your brain to help me decide. thanks Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 As Doc would suggest, find the problem, don't look for a band-aid. With that said, you can try garlic, and cayenne; I don't know of any contraindications, but I would suggest considering dumping synthroid for natural thyroid known as Armour, though it comes from pigs, it is safer and more natural (and the lesser of two evils - as Doc acceptedly agreed on). Did you have your thyroid zapped, or removed? As far as an alternative practitioner, ACAM is a good source on the web, which, like any refferal service, is not gonna tell you the best Dr., but will give you some names for you to research. I'm sure that there are other suggestions, but you need to give more info, so I hope this helps. In Health, Steve ----------------------------- hi all hope you're all doing well.
