Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hello Everyone, I'm a new member. Firstly i must say that this group is really amazing. My problem is about my thyroid. I have had a hyperthyroid problem 7 years back and i've had a surgery of removal part of my throid glands. Since then (for about 5 years) i've been taking T4 hormons as pills and most of the doctors say i may have to take it for lifetime. Is there anyone who had this surgery and stop taking synthetic T4 hormon? Also i've come across a website www.greenlife-herbal.com it says operated thyroid can also be cured with this product. Anyone has tried this? Thanks Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hi Jenny, I had no surgery, just extremely low thyroid function about 10,15 years ago... and instead of taking the hormones, doctors prescribed, I have been taking Thyroid Energy, L-Tyrosin Thytrophin bayberry besides other supplements, mostly by Now and I feel pretty good. This probably does not apply, when you had surgery... I just thought I'd let you know... --- jenny <kelebelek84 wrote: > Hello Everyone, > I'm a new member.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Jenny, I would be VERY SKEPTICAL about those claims. Most of the thyroid herbal remedies I've seen are way to expensive first of all and secondly, you might do yourself irreparable harm as the thyroid also affects your heart function and blood pressure. , jenny <kelebelek84 wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > I'm a new member.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 hey jenny, sorry about the thyroid thing. um, i hate to burst your bubble, but i would say you'll need meds for life. unless your thyroid is truly amazing and can suddenly provide what you need. and hey, stranger things can happen. you might just want to change up what you take. there are alternatives, even tho the doctors rarely want to help with that. i myself take armour, which isn't the most common, although it was the first treatment available. it's dessicated pig thyroid, and i've tried all the others, this is the one that works. most docs just put you on T4 and forget about you. didn't work for me due to extreme thyroid deficiency. maybe you just need to add cytomel or change to something better. there are a number of good books out there, mary shomon's sticking out your neck being one of them. keep digging and find what feels good for you, even if you have to irritate the good doctor! good luck.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hi jenny.. Do you used to take horlicks or boost or steroids which increase your growth hormones..You stop taking these things and have afsting for three days and pray to God.. You can take milk during fasting..You stop taking wheat and rice based foods and take liquid foods like juices..

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I have been taking a NON-Synthetic Thyroid supplement for almost 2 years now. When I can get it as it has to come from outside the country. I feel great! I sleep better, my mood swings level out and I more energy than without it. It is natural which is the best way to go as synthetics actually destroy your thyroid rather than heal it. My mother who is also taking the say supplement loves it, swears by it and refuses to take synthetics anymore. Plus I use Biofeedback when necessary to heal and boost my endocrine system.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 My son has had a complete thyroidectomy andwill be on hormone replacement for the rest of his life. However I have looked into a natural thyroid replacement that the body accepts better. Go to thyca.com for all the information. He has mood problem ect.. We have not made the switch yet but will when he is cancer free. There is also a rather large thyroid research center in Itally for thyroid research, they tend to use more of a natural approach.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 If you have low thyroid function, you may also have high blood pressure or the tendency to have it as well. Beware of L-tyrosine-- it will raise it dangerously high--i have personal experience with this. , Ingrid <molokai_duo wrote: > > Hi Jenny, > I had no surgery, just extremely low thyroid function > about 10,15 years ago... and instead of taking the > hormones, doctors prescribed, I have been taking > > Thyroid Energy, > L-Tyrosin > Thytrophin > bayberry > > besides other supplements, mostly by Now and I feel > pretty good. > This probably does not apply, when you had surgery... > I just thought I'd let you know... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi Mahesh There wasn't a spelling mistake because i started with hyperthyroid (toxic goiter) at the age of 17, i had no problems with growth hormons and didn't need to take boost or steroids.I was feeling nervous, moody, weak and i had lost weight fastly. My TSH was extremely low and my neck had a remarkable swelling. For about 2 years i had to take antithyroid medicines.There's another treatment for hyperthyroid, radioactive iodine but i couldn't have had it as i was a teenager. So the antithyroids seemed to work, i got better but suddenly one nodule started growing,then i had to undergo surgery. Later on i've learnt that so-called modern medicine treats the hyperthyroid as turning it into less challenging disease hypothyroid and tell you to use T4 forever. I look for natural remedies and wonder if it'll start functioning ever again. Thanks and greetings maheshbme <maheshbme wrote: Hi jenny..

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hey Anita, thanks for your suggestion. I've been using levoxyl sodium and have no problems at all. Everyone says armour is amazing and the most natural one among all. Well as soon as i fell good with levoxyl, it's fine.The problem is that there's no certain solution for thyroid diseases, i've changed 4 docs and each one says the same thing more or less.. maybe we should wait for the stem cell treatments I wish you get well too anita roberts <redhedgurl5 wrote: hey jenny, sorry about the thyroid thing. um, i hate to burst your bubble, but i would say you'll need meds for life. unless your thyroid is truly amazing and can suddenly provide what you need. and hey, stranger things can happen. you might just want to change up what you take. there are alternatives, even tho the doctors rarely want to help with that. i myself take armour, which isn't the most common, although it was the first treatment available. it's dessicated pig thyroid, and i've tried all the others, this is the one that works. most docs just put you on T4 and forget about you. didn't work for me due to extreme thyroid deficiency. maybe you just need to add cytomel or change to something better. there are a number of good books out there, mary shomon's sticking out your neck being one of them. keep digging and find what feels good for you, even if you have to irritate the good doctor! good luck.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi Ingrid Thanks for letting me know about the supplements you've been taking. I'm happy for you there was no need for surgery. In addition to what you take, i suggest you to use energy therapies on your thyroid and work on 5th chakra. I try reiki on my neck, in long term it might work. I consider about taking Thytropin to help reconstitute my thyroid gland but my doc says i shouldn't take anything else as soon as i'm stable and feeling good.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I can not find the name of the center, it should be listed if you google Thyroid Cancer Research Centers. You have to be careful because a lot of things that people do to get better stimulate the thyroid which is not good if you have thyroid problems. The number one thing that has helped my son is we went completely on a vegan raw diet for 9 months, I did it with him. Always low sodium and watch your chlorides because they tend to like thyoid tissue. Also no chicken, I never really found out why no chicken, we followed all of the advice and it made a world of difference. He also drinks carrot juice (fresh) and fresh fruit juices. He takes psyllium husk powder since people with thyroid problems tend to have colon problems as well. He also drinks a lot of different teas. His favorite is green with fenugreek and a dash of lemon sweetened with honey. Good Luck, Patty Alexander - jenny Wednesday, December 27, 2006 6:37 AM Re: Hypothyroid: Forever on pills?

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 My blood pressure is quite low, because I am on a special diet... mostly vegetables... I usually avoid all foods that inhibit thyroid function. My doctor is amazed that I am doing as well as I am. He was sure that I would have to take hormones for the rest of my life. I cannot say that it is always easy to stay away from certain foods--especially during the holidays--but it certainly is worth the effort. I feel good most of the time, even though I have other health issues. Living in Europe during the war, I went through starvation, dysentery, typhoid fever, chronic middle ear infection, chronic constipation, etc. About twenty years ago, I have been told that I may have two years to live. My diet and supplements have helped me so much that I can honestly say that I feel better now in my old age than I ever did before... Everybody has different problems and may react differently to any kind of remedies. I am just grateful that I found a way to help myself--so far... Ever since I found this group, I have discovered more remedies and have started a notebook for reference. Thanks to all the people, who share their knowledge.
