Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Susan, YOu have 2 doctors working on you and it sounds to me like neither one knows what is going on. This comment about " Thyroid is fine " is ridiculous! After much reading and talking to other hypo thyroid suffers, it seems that " the range " does not allow for those people on the border. I was one of those. Many of your symptoms sound similar. The thing is, your body is probably so " tox'd " out from years of difernt meds that it is now rebelling. I'm going to recomment a couple of things for some of your symptoms, but you need to draw a line in the sand TODAY. Make a choice for you, your quality of life, your health. If you feel more confidant talking to a Health care practioner, then find yourself a good Naturopath in your area over conventional doctor. For insomnia, try a tea of 2 teaspoons valerian. Or if you are not up on your herbs, there are some ready made tea formulas by Yogi Tea and Traditional Medicinals, both have night and sleep formulas, although Yogi Teas are predominately Organic so i would chose this one first. For the sour stomach and reflex, stop ALL caffiene, dairy and sugar immediatly. (you may be able to add small quantities back to diet later after you cleanse). I never had a problem, but a year or so before i did the cleanse i found that i'd have exceptional bad heartburn (reflux) all day and night if i had eaten yogurt that morning. Same thing if i had more than 2 cups of coffee. I stopped the yogurt all together and cut back to 1 cup of coffee on Saturday or Sunday, this alone made a huge difference. Once you get your body clean, you may find that your body can handle some of your old favorites in moderation(AS LONG AS THEY ARE ORGANIC). Post cleanse, I have found that as much as i love the smell of coffee, i really dont like drinking it so much anymore. At most i might have a half cup once a week. Also, for immediate action and possible relief, read up on the 3day juice cleanse, you might be able to clear up some of the bowel issues. Good luck and we're all here rooting for you!

I told him that I didn't think that it was going down right. I thought that it wasn't being absorbed correctly. I told him that I didn't feel like it was reflux...the gi doctor said my thyroid was fine. Then, my regular doctor doesn't want me to be on any supplements or any rx's...she wants to see how I do. i have imsomnia, some hot flashes, pms symptoms, fatigue and brain " FOG. " I got the reglan BUT don't think that I am going to take it. I have tried twice on it and it didn't do anything but severely constipate me. the gi doctor says if that doesn't work then he is going to stretch my esophogus. > > Love > Susan > > Kelli Bever <kelli@c...> wrote: > Hi Susan, > > I completely agree with the response that Sylvia sent to you on this. I understand that you have a lot of physical issues going on, but whether you go conventional medical route or alternative, just treating the symptoms is not going to be a final handling of the situation. You need to handle the CAUSE of all this, and it's TOXINS. You need to do a general, overall cleanse, and the one I recommend is the Total Body Cleanse. > > Cutting out the sugar is IMPERATIVE as well. It is NOT FOOD. If you are hungry, eat something your body can use. The sugar things will KILL YOU SLOWLY. (Read " Sugar Blues " by William Dufty. Excellent reading!) > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
