Hypothyroid: Forever on pills?Im afraid so.

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

My name is Flavia and i have a hypothyroidism too.Mine was a consequence of a

bad hepatites i got when i was 14.I think that syndrome is called Hashimoto

disease (sp?)

 

My hypothyroidism was detected only 2 years later-- when i was 16-- .That

delay caused me lots of problems like lack of concentration, poor memory, loss

of hair and mixedema mainly on my legs.Besides that i got a lot of extra pounds.

When i started taking T4 pills most of these problems disappeared but the

mixedema.It took me 30 years to cure it! Please dont underestimate

hypothyroidism, it can destroy your life.Take your pills everyday and be happy

to have them.No, i dont believe herbs can cure our problem.

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

I agree with Flavia on this one:

 

Take your pills and give thanks they

are available.

 

Most people do better on Armour (natural)

than on Synthroid.

Supplements that can help to balance the

thyroid are sea vegetables and Maca.

It is my understanding that Synthroid only offers one thyroid ingredient (?)

while armour is natural and offers the full complex. How you respond

depends on whether you just need the one part or if you need some, or all of

the others. It doesn't appear that they yet know how to manufacture the

full spectrum synthetically. Generally, one disadvantage of natural

medicine including Armour is nonstandardization. Since it is natural and

all animals and plants do not grow with exactly the same amount of

ingredients (sounds like a recipe, but I can't find the right word, sorry)

it is nearly impossible to standardize the dosage. That seems to be why

doctors generally prefer synthetic drugs, perfering to be certain of the

dosage of the needed ingredient to the balancing benefits of the whole

plant.

 

While I generally prefer natural medicine, I did notice a difference in my

reaction from one bottle of Armour to the next.
