Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Adding to this I have a question back to the thyroid thing. I found I had hypothyroid in 1998 - I have to take levoxythyroxine .125 mg (125mcg) once a day. Three days ago- because of another couple people in this group posting that they take care of there thyroid naturally - I quite taking the thyroid medicane. Assuming I had to let it get out of my system in order to start natural ways of dealing with my low working thyroid. Today however my entire body got lethargic and felt numb ALL over. Like a tiny static pulse flowing through my veins so I started back on the levoxythyroxine and with an hour had energy and the icky tingly feeling went away. What was that icky feeling? My thyroid slowing down again? How do you move to natural ways of taking care of a thyroid if your not going to the doctor to get your blood taken for proper levels of medicane? What happens if taking natural means to help my thyroid function properly dont work and I end up really sick like I was before I found that I had thyroid disease?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Dear Deanna, When coming off of any medication you should do is on a gradient. Take 3/4 the next day then 1/2 the next etc. You know how you feel better than anyone so you simply regulate it for yourself. Sooner than you think you'll be off of it. Your medication is not helping your body. It is taking over the job. If it was helping you would be able to come off of it without ill effects. This is bypassing your normal body routine and causing an action to occur without you being in control of it bio-chemically. Lets say your body does 5 actions to activate the thyroid when necessary. Well this pill simply goes past about 3-4 of these steps and gives it a huge kick. What needs to be done is to heal the 5 points, cause something is out on one or more. I keep repeating this but it cannot be too stressed, the pill you pop is Kicking the area, not activating it. It is replacing normal body functions and inducing an action without the other component parts of the body being involved. After a while of no real use these get weaker and weaker. And you depend on medication more and more not to mention the various OTHER side effects the pill leave behind in the body. Sorry if I'm going " off " just wanted to be completely clear.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Thank you for answering my post. _*What do I do once I am off of the medication entirely?*_ I have seen Kelp in the veggie department of our health food store and some herbal supplement called Thyroid Support by Solaray I believe. ? Any guidance from here would be a good start for me in that direction. I am off of all other meds, ( the antianxiety, the ambien for sleep, the muscle relaxers for back pain, the " mini " pill used for nursing mothers) The only one left is this thyroid one. I have seen the posts of people who use other means to controll thyroid function, do you still get your blood checked every 6months? or you just go buy how you feel to up or down herbal supplement controll? Will I need to use the thyroid herbs all my life or will my body eventually start working on its own again with proper daily excercise, proper eating habits, Monthly cleanses etc? Thanks again for answering all my questions, but I guess I wouldnt know how to teach myself if I didnt ask, right?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Deanna, Have you requested Doc's free CD lecture? It really is free, no strings attached. It gives you a general idea of things going on around our planet and the general scene of its health. Doc has a program that is designed to get the entire body back on track. There are other parts of the body that have to be completely overwhelmed and under constant attack for the thyroid to collapse and need help. So if you want the best ideas as to where you go from now I'd suggest you get a hold of Doc and get his lecture. I have done his " Total Body Cleanse " 4 times now and I can tell you that I definitely needed them. I can tell exactly what and when and how things go wrong when they go wrong with my body and because I've done the cleanse enough I have a general idea of what to do about it whenever I need to. Currently I am back in school learning how to be an expert in the field of Study (sounds funny, studying to learn how to study) and then I'll be handling my past education. But I can tell you this, Doc's office is always there, always willing to answer questions (as long as you don't take up all their time rambling on and on) point you in the right direction to get you feeling and living a better life. They are live people. They work with thousands upon thousands of people every year and they get fantastic results. So my suggestion is to get a hold of his office and go from there. You'll not be sorry and you'll be loving me for suggesting it.
