How Can I raise thyroid levels without meds?

[Guest guest]

I am mildly hypothyroid and do not do well on thyroid hormone. I have

tried 2, Levothroid and Armour. I would like to try the natural route

if possible. Does anyone have any ideas how I can raise my levels with

supplements, etc? Thanks.

--- Do some research on brown seaweed. The iodine in this has helped

many people with thyroid issues. Also try to incorporate alot of

whole, live foods into your eating plan. Good Luck! Lynn

What re you trying to raise, specifically? Your T3 or T4 or both? And have

you tested your adrenals?

 

There are natural things to take but you have to know where your labs are,

first treat adrenals, then thyroid.

 

You might not be tolerating Lev or Arm because you have RT3 issues or you

have adrenal issues which would need to be resolved whether you go the

natural route or prescription meds.

 

I suggest checking out www.stopthethyroidmadness.com and signing up for the

adrenal and thyroid that talk about this. I thought my biggest

issue was thyroid and it turns out for me my adrenals are much worse.

Have you ever thought about checking to see if you have heavy metal

toxicity? (especially if you have amalgams). Chelating (AFTER removing

amalgams) and detoxing helps glands including the thyroid function

better.

Read tge book Fat, Fuzzy and Frazzled by Richard Shames, MD. He practices in

San Rafael, California--is an alternative doctor who, in my opinion, really

knows how to treat thyroid conditions from a holistic point of view. Great

book. You can get it used or new from Amazon.com. I'd say really read the

book, incorporate many of the ideas, have the saliva testing done for

evaluation, take your basal temperatures for 5-10 days in the morning, just to

get an idea of where you are really at. If you are not satisfied with how well

your thyroid is progressing, you may have adrenal problems as well. I suggest

the saliva testing of all three: thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones so they can

be balanced. One hormone affects the others.

Hello,

 

I am really interested in this thread as I considered taking

thyroid support mentioned below. If at all possible, can you answer

what is meant by not doing well on thyroid hormone? Didn't they raise

the levels of T in the blood or did these supplements cause you to

feel ill? From what I understand the thyroid is important for the

finetuning of one's metabolism. Low thyroid, however, doesn't rule out

over-adrenal activity. Or maybe the latter is a sort of compensatory

mechanism. In other words, one could have insomnia at the same time as

fatigue and weight gain on limited calorie intake.

That site is about to be deleted. If you know the owner maybe you

could let him know, he needs to re-register it says. His account

expired on 10/30/07. I'm not sure what was there but I just found

links.

I have taken both Armour and Levothroid in the past. It raised my T4

over the range and also my RT3 was too high. I have a goiter that

needs to shrink which is why the doc put me on meds in the first

place. I have since had some testing for adrenal problems and that is

also an issue, but even while being treated for that, the meds for

thyroid made me feel bad. I would just like to address the thyroid

issue with natural treatment and not have to resort to meds.
