Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi Susan, Spot suggested this sight - www.tuderose.com It got me started on a few things. I saw an ayevedic doc and he gave me a kelp powder potion. Some other people sugested virgin cocnut oil -drinking a few spoonfuls- no read meat, no soy products. I was diagnosed with hyporthyroid, i'm 44. Been doing this for over a month and my husband says he sees marked improvement in my energy and additute. I suggest a heavy metal test for mercury and lead. You'll have to do a process a elimination. These peolpe here are great, something is bound to work. Good luck kittisusanjbfree <stjames5 wrote: My 24 yr old daughter has just been diagnosed with a 3 cm nodule on her thyroid gland. They found the nodule during a physical at the end of Dec.

Also 2 inconclusive biopsies, a radioative iodine scan which showed the nodule as being hot. Saw the endocrinologist this week and he suggested surgery or radioactive iodine treatment.I'm not comfortable with this. Is there anything holistic she can do for this. What causes these nodules to come about? The only symptoms she has is some thinning hair, and more hungry. I thought with hyperthyroid she would be losing weight but she is gaining. I'm trying to gather information both natural and traditional to help her make some wise choices. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I would absolutely not be o.k. with that either. I'm with you. There may not seem like a connection to you, but I would look into heavy metal detox, Doc has a recipe in the files. Also look into " the poor man's chelation " with cilantro (chinese parsley) Liver flush recipes are here in the files, as are parasite removal or deworming recipes. Colon cleanses too. Doc has also put in the files hormone balancer recipes. The thyroid is only part of the endocrine system, I would look into treating the entire system not " just " the symptom of the troubled thyroid. Here are some subjects or web sites that may be of interest to you. http://www.ryandrum.com/ for hyperthyroidism Dr. Drum recommends iodine starvation for a brief time for that. look into coQ10 look into coconut oil and hyperthyroidism look into DMSO and it's carrier power and how if it is applied externally with other herbs, it can do a great deal to heal, as well as realign the bodies DNA. Doc, the list owner sells pharmacutical grade DMSO in glass, you can call him to order it. Maca helps balance the entire endocrine system, but I am not sure about it's effects on hyperthyroidism. The hypothalumus can have something to do with her feeling hungrier. http://www.hungerhormones.com/cortisol.html And here are the symptoms for hypothyroidism. These are the symptoms of low thyroid: http://www.betterbodycare.com/Solutions/Causes/LowThyroid.htm " Chronic low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) is rampant in western society. It is probably THE MOST medically under-diagnosed of all conditions, primarily because blood tests for it are UNRELIABLE!!! Most people with hypothyroidism have normal levels of T4 circulating in their bloodstream; however, their bodies do not convert enough of this hormone to T3, the form in which their bodily cells require it. Some of the conditions linked to hypothyroidism include acid indigestion, acne, allergies, arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, breast disease (benign), cancer (of all kinds), canker sores, cellulitis, diabetes, eczema, emphysema, gallstones, gout, hives, hypoglycemia, impetigo, infertility, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, lupus erythematosus, mental depression, menstrual irregularities, migraine headaches, miscarriages, obesity, panic attacks, premature aging, premenstrual syndrome, psoriasis, respiratory infections, rheumatism, sexual dysfunction, tinnitus, toxemia of pregnancy, and urinary tract infections. Symptoms of low thyroid function include: muscles stiff in morning, need to limber up. fail to feel rested, even after sleeping long hours. feel " creaky " after sitting still for some time. heart seems to miss beats or " flip-flops " . nauseated in morning. start slow in morning, gain speed in afternoon. motion sickness when traveling. dizzy in morning or when moving up and down. cold hands or feet. sensitivity to cold, prefer warm climate. hair scanty, dry, brittle, dull, lusterless, lifeless. hair loss from outer third of eyebrow. flaky, dry, rough skin. sleeplessness, restlessness, sleep disturbances. poor short term memory, forgetfulness. poor response to exercising. ********hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). ***************** high cholesterol, cholesterol deposits on eyelids. constipation, less than one bowel movement daily. " go to pieces " easily, cry easily. dislike working under pressure, dislike being watched. diminished sex drive, lack of sexual desire. gain weight easily, fail to lose on diets. difficulty concentrating, easily distracted. yellowish tint to skin on hands or feet. cracks in bottom of heels. clogged sinuses. low pulse rate. low body temperature, especially at bed rest. recurrent infections. depression. headaches. puffiness of face or eyes. swelling of hands or ankles. irritability, mood swings. multiple food allergies/sensitivities. lumpy breasts, cystic breasts. menstrual irregularity, excess flow, PMS. these worse at night: coughing, hoarseness, muscle cramps. herbal remedies , " susanjbfree " <stjames5 wrote: > > My 24 yr old daughter has just been diagnosed with a 3 cm nodule on her > thyroid gland.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hello everyone, I was finally diagnosed with hyperthyroid, though the MD could not explain the weight gain of 45 lbs. She put me on Tapazole wich I agreed to take for 8 weeks until I find an alternative. Now, I was reading that people on tapazole will gain weight. Of course, hyperthyroid makes people lose weight, except for me. Now I am concerned that I will put more weight on because of the tapazole. Could you anyone please shed a light on this? I appreciate your help. Maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 ---maria maria mariaaaaaah do read on Glandular imbalances Each individual's case may be a little different. Different contributing causes, different solutions. However, in Cayce Medicine we might say that any illness in the body is created by one or more of these three factors: 1. mental-emotional stress, 2. pressure upon nerves (often at the spine), 3. toxicity (localized or systemic). Glandular problems are no exception. In the case of the thyroid, we might ask if the body is toxic overall, or perhaps just locally. If so, what would we do to clear this up? Since the thyroid is located at the base of the throat, we might check the neck and shoulders to see if they are tense. If so, perhaps the tension is disrupting the circulation of blood, lymph, and nerve energies to the area - creating the abnormal thyroid activity. Should this be the case, it is best for the tension to be relieved. Are the mind and emotions being chosen in such a way that they might express poorly through the thyroid gland? Are the mind and emotions the cause of tension and disrupted circulation in the neck and shoulder area? Are other glands possibly involved? These sorts of questions can begin to focus us on what has gone wrong and what needs to change in order to restore a healthy balance. Typical suggestions for addressing hypothyroid issues might include: 1. Neck and shoulder massage, castor oil pack at neck, and/or spinal manipulation, 2. Atomidine on a 1-2-3-4-5-0-0 drop schedule (which detoxifies the glands), 3. Meditation to change patterns of doubt to belief, worry to faith, feeling overwhelmed to dwelling in harmony, wariness to peace, and impatience to patience. Atomidine can be given in a series this is to balance the glands one drop daily in half a glass of water for five days stop for three days then to two drops daily for five days stop for three days. Then back to one drop daily then a rest and start the regime again. A cleansing of the glands was the first priority, a drop of atomidine in half a glass of water in the morning before any meal is taken for 5 days, and then 2 drops for 5 days then leave off entirely Cayce found a lack of activity of the thyroid glands, which causes this disturbance in the body where apparently for no cause, there are patches on the body that are bald. These come from circulation and from the lack of certain elements in the diet. For the glandular forces give small quantities of Atomidine to purify the glandular system. In the beginning take one drop in half a glass of water before the morning meal, each day for three to five days; leave off five days, then take again for five days. Then leave off. At the beginning of the second rest period from the Atomidine, start massaging the body of evenings when ready to go to bed on those areas of scalp and where the baldness appears, using Pure Hog Lard. Massage this thoroughly into the areas and bind up. The next morning bathe off, and then in the evening apply again. Do this for three to four days in succession, then leave off for a week - during which period another series of Atomidine would be taken. 1904-1 F 52 Cayce found disturbing conditions This needs attention to stop other problems. The disturbing forces arise from, primarily the glandular system; caused by an unbalancing in the chemical reactions in the system and not sufficient iodides , also pressures upon the nerve system were found - to cause a disturbance in the locomotion of the body at times. The blood supply has also become unbalanced, so that there is insufficient vitamins in the blood as assimilated through these glandular disturbances to produce the proper capillary circulation. A cleansing was required , to help the glandular forces .begin first with taking small doses of Atomidine..For the first seven days, take one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken. Then leave same off five days. Then begin taking TWO minims each morning for seven days. Then leave off five days. Then at the third series take THREE minims in half a glass of water (not more than this) each morning for the seven days. Leave off three to five days. 26 How can I regain my hair (which I have been losing since my late teens - thought by a doctor to be due to a sickness, which I had for several years with earache, fever and headache)? 4056-1 M 26 Cayce found a lack of activity of the glands in the thyroid area. This causes a weakness in the activities to nails and hair over the body. Take small doses of Atomidine to purify in the thyroid activity. Take one drop each morning for five days in succession. Then leave off for five days. During that period give the scalp a thorough massage with crude oil; using the electrically driven vibrator with the suction applicator this was to be done very thoroughly, for at least thirty to forty minutes for the massage with the crude oil and then the application of white Vaseline and then the electrically driven vibrator using the suction cup applicator. Then begin the first of the next week with the Atomidine, one drop each morning for five days. Then give another crude oil shampoo following with the white Vaseline and the vibrator treatment. Leave these off then for two weeks. Then have another complete series, but between each two series allow two weeks to elapse. Doing these, we will find that in six to eight months it will begin to stimulate the activities for the growth of hair over the scalp and on body. Diet must carry iodine in their natural forms. Use only kelp salt or deep-sea salt. Eat plenty of seafoods. Not too much sweets. Atomidine was also recommended in 42% of cases but due to its high iodine content this was recommended in specific dosages and treatment cycles. Excessive iodine in the system could overstimulate the thyroid and result in harmful effects in the body. Never take atomidine when you are using thyroid medicine or other drugs as the drugs could react with each other and have undesirable effects. The most common dosage was one drop taken daily for five days followed by a five-day rest period then one-drop daily then rest for five days. Then resume the cycle.Daily dosages ranged from one to eight drops daily. It was recommended that atomidine was taken in half glass of water in the morning before eating. Frequently atomidine was coordinated with Epsom salt baths and massage with the baths being taken during the rest period and immediately following the atomidine sequence. 5 After the osteopathic adjustments have been given then take a course of atomidine which should be given starting with one drop twice a day increasing by one drop per day until you are taking 5 drops twice daily then continue for a further 3 days and then reduce by one drop per day until the original dose is used. Then rest a week or two then repeat this regime 3-4 times. The atomidine is for the cleansing of the glands and for the glandular forces of the body. BACKGROUND 5345-1 F 35 For some time she has been suffering with sugar diabetes, no help from MD's. . She's read the book THERE IS A RIVER and is ready to accept and follow anything that may come through the reading. " Cayce cautioned to apply corrections to the diet, this with the spinal corrections , will bring much better conditions and reactions with this Person. He found a subluxation, caused from a strain many years ago and has gradually been a great pressure, which has caused overactivity in the pancreas and spleen area, and from this created in the body, too much sugar. This affects the activity of the kidneys and bladder, as well as the general nervous system and the incoordination in the areas of the brachials, just a little higher up, which cause distresses to organs of sensory system, general nervous system and the glandular forces of the body. Alternative Treatment Edgar cayce gave over 250 readings for epilepsy and associated disorders. In Reba Ann karps book a study was made of about 84 readings for 37 people with an age range of 20 months to 62 yrs old. There are quite a few files at the A.R.E. which members can research further and anyone contemplating treatment would well advised to consult with them. Causes 1.Most frequently mentioned was glandular imbalances, which implied adhesions and lesions in the lacteal area of the intestines. 2. Other glands were mentioned particularly the pineal. 3. In 16 cases spinal sublaxations and lesions were found to be a direct cause with mention of other vertebrae out of alignment in any part of the spine. These misalignments would interfere with the proper supply of nutrients and or nerve impulses which were needed in other parts of the body the lack of which would result in ) What causes and what should be done to correct, excess growth of hair on legs and arms? Is this from a glandular condition? (A) Cayce said A glandular condition, combined with a disturbance in the general circulation. Do not use anything other than too the thyroids to make better activity there; this done better by manipulation than by drugs. From epilepsy file (Q) Why are the menstrual periods irregular? (A) A problem partly from the circulation and the adjusting of the bodily functions from the glandular forces of the whole system to the activity of such periods. The adjustments and manipulations are for these specific disturbances; as also the purifying of the glands by the use of iodized salt. Cayce gives the causes of Glaucoma; to do with the functioning of the glands in origin with mention of spinal misalignments causing other blockages where proper channels needed to be kept open, Toxins or infectious forces could also cause problems in the system, poor eliminations and kidney and liver imbalances were also mentioned. Karma was also mentioned. According to cayce any of these conditions either singly or combined could interfere with the proper nutriments that feed the eyes and or nerve impulses, which go to the eyes. To another who had been treated for glaucoma by conventional means, this lady was in excrutiating pain Cayce said there was incorrect activities from the adrenal glands and their effect on the kidneys, which had their effect on other organs, which produced slowness in the eliminations. The emphasis on eliminations is a crucial factor in maintaining good health in this case it was effecting the optic nerve. 630-3 F 37 " About 8 mos. ago (eye specialist) told me I had Glaucoma and Iritis Pigmentosis, but being an optimist I thought they would be all right. Now I am at home and Dr. says my eyes are decidedly worse. Cayce found disturbances with the glandular system, related to the activities of the adrenals. This made for an unbalanced condition relating to the supply of energies in the circulation to the sensory forces. This hinders or impoverishes the supply to the optic forces; producing a relaxation that causes the problem in the eye reflex itself. These hinder in the kidneys' activity in bringing about elimination, and a flow of secretions that are a part of same deflect through the supply to optic forces. Cayce sited the causes of M.S.as being varied but briefly it was the lack of gold in the body which caused a glandular imbalance which in turn caused a hormonal deficiency.This hormone was said to be vital to the proper functioning of the nerves. Also it can be stated that even with enough gold present in the system the body still has to have the ability to use it, it was this ability that was lacking in some of the cases that cayce dealt with. The body has to have the ability to absorb or assimilate the gold. phill In , " drmoratto " <drmoratto wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I was finally diagnosed with hyperthyroid, though the MD could not > explain the weight gain of 45 lbs. > > She put me on Tapazole wich I agreed to take for 8 weeks until I find > an alternative. > Now, I was reading that people on tapazole will gain weight.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi Phill, It has been a long time since someone has sung me the Maria's song. Thanks! Now, this info is very impressive and needs to be digested slowly. Cayce mentions the lack of thyroid but I couldn't see what to do with the excess of thyroid. I will check into this and in the meantime is there any specific thing you suggest? Thanks much, Maria--- In , " pjb12345uk " <pho wrote: > > ---maria maria mariaaaaaah > do read on > Glandular imbalances > > > > Each individual's case may be a little different.
