Natural doctor concerned with thyroid weaning

[Guest guest]

I saw my chiropractor today and told her I had weaned myself off of the

" prescribed " thyroid medicane. She told me I should be very careful and

probably not do that because synthetic thyroid medicane when taken for a

period of time ( I have been on it for 5 years) causes the thyroid to NO

LONGER function on its own.

 

She said that if I dont take the medication I could have severe health

issue because the herbs can help with thyroid functioning but that my

thyroid wont be able to resume working on its own if it has reached the

point of no longer working on its own.

 

This is coming from a Natural Doctor.

 

Is this true, should I be conserned ? I have also gained 2 lbs since I

stopped using the levoxythyroxine. How do I know if it is true that my

thyroid will never function again on its own.??

 

Please advise!

 

Again my appologies for all the posts lately. This seems to be the

only place I can get some answers as the naturalpath doctors are not

covered under insurance

 

Thx in advance

Deana -

 

I would definitely check with Doc(!), but I've also heard from

several natural healers that exact thing. If you take the thyroid

meds too long the thyroid shuts down and won't function on its own.

Do check with Doc on this. I do want to tell you that this has been done

before. I have worked with others on it as well. It may take a thorough

Total Body cleanse or two but you can get it back into working order.

 

I'd like to point out that the synthetic is known to cause Thyroid failure,

complete and irreversible (apparently not for herbalists) and still they

proscribe it to thousands upon thousands. GROSS!

Deana,

 

It's not as bad a it seems. Truly at some point you need to get over

the shy thingy and talk to doc. Really he's the best one to talk to, give

you someone who is named and doing exactly that, Doctoring (which by the way

has its origins from " a teacher " ). Are our MD's teaching anyone anything?

HECK NO!. Butt munches.

 

So check with Doc for that nice warm cuddly confirmation that your

doing ok and the right thing. Then let us know how it went. = o P

 

Sincerely,

 

Zebby Poo

Deana,

Don't gamble with an underactive thyroid...listen to your doctor when she tells you why.

In the meantime you may want to monitor your thyroid with this self-test.

THYROID SELF-TEST

To test yourself for an underactive thyroid, keep a thermometer by your bed at night. When you awaken in the morning, place the thermometer under your arm and hold it there for fifteen minutes. Keep still and quiet. Any motion can upset your temperature reading. A temperature of 97.6 F or lower may indicate an underactive thyroid. Keep a temperature log for five days. If your readings are consistently low, consult your health care provider.

Deana,I'm new on this list and I'm also hoping to get off my thyroid medicine. I do believe we both will be able to do this, but it's a long road to health. In researching this matter, this is what I understand we should do.

 

1. We must do the total body cleanse (maybe more than once). When the intestine is clogged and coated with years of old fecal matter, we do not have many nutrients pass through the wall. We are in a state of malnourishment. Our body does not have the proper nutrients to create hormones. Due to this malnourishment our body has degenerated. We have to change our diet to a total raw produce diet - 100% - until we have our guts working properly, and preferably for the rest of our lives.

 

2. While we are working on the total body cleanse, eating 100% raw produce, we should be using a thyroid maintenance formula. This will help in controlling metabolism and give herbal feedings to the thyroid glands to help them do their job more efficiently. I plan to continue using my meds during this period - I might reduce the dose if I feel my thyroid is starting to kick in and do some work on it's own. Right now I'm trying to heal the thyroid so I'm not going to stress it anymore until I can get my body in a healthier state.

 

3. When I feel my body is cleansed, and the thyroid is trying to kick in (you can tell this by the symptoms you'll get), I'll switch to a thyroid formula. This will stimulates the under active thyroid. I will use for a month and then go back to the thyroid maintenance formula. This is the stage that I'll totally wean off the artificial thyroid medication. I'll will work my regular doctor as far as having some blood work done during this stage.

 

Since I strongly believe that there are no incurable diseases, I think we can do this. I wanted to share with you what I'm doing. Herbs are food not medicines, and if our bodies cannot absorb nutrients, the herbs will not do us any good. The first step to getting well is to do the total body cleanse. In my opinion, without the cleanse, you will not be successful. I tried quitting my thyroid medicine before and I became very ill. I do think though that if I do the above program, I'll be successful.

Joy,

 

I

think we are trying to help with the same thing but I’d like to be

sure. I want Deana to learn how to take care of herself. She DID

consult her health care provider, very ROBOTICALLY. Yes she ALSO did

EXACTLY AS COMMANDED BY THOSE OH SO HIGH CALLED MD’s. I’[m

trying to get her to think for herself. Trust her own body and to consult

someone who hasn’t already ruined her Thyroid or at least done extensive

damage to it. So lets get onto the same page here and please, gosh all

mighty, stop saying to “consult you health care provider”

Like it’s some psalm to be sung when medical problems occur. Yes

she can “consult” her local medical liaison. No she should

not do exactly as he says if it sounds wrong.

 

Truth:

If we all did exactly as our health care providers asked us to then we’d

all be zombies in bed with nurses and MD’s taking care of our vegetable

bodies. Just look at how they treat everything. Like we stupid and

they know so don’t bother asking. I do know there are a few exceptions.

They are few and WAY to far in between. So stop scaring people Joy and

make it simple and easy. Yes anyone should consult but they should follow

what they think and nothing more.

Thank you again, I wrote docs number down today so I can call later when

the baby is down for a nap.

 

I also have a book a neighbor gave me yesterday called The Complete

Home Healer. It states to take the amino acid *_Tyrosine_* 250mg a day

and avoid eating foods that inhibit the uptake of iodine such as

turnips, cabbage, soybeans, panuts, pine nuts and mustard.

 

 

 

I thought I would share this info since there is another person trying

to wean off thyroid meds

[Guest guest]

Irene

Its so nice to meet you. I am thinking we can do this too! I am glad we

are doing this together - I don't feel so alone. I am really glad you

dont mind all my emails.

 

My other (small dilema) is I am nursing our youngest son still. I want

to let him wean himself. This is our last child we are able to have and

I never nursed the other 3 that are much older. I don't want to stop

nursing untill he is ready. :-)

 

I am going to try the amino acid I posted earlier (I get grocery money

on Fridays so I can get it tomorrow).

 

I eat as much raw fruit and veggies I can in a day, drink lots of water,

take a walk with my kids, do stretching and stomach and back exercises

daily.

 

This all seems to be helping us have a more " productive " and happy

family lifestyle. (Instead of mommy cleaning ALLLL day and the kids

playing with friends all day.

 

My kelp tincture will be ready in one more week.

 

All I need now is a good night sleep.

 

I wish you luck on your path alongside me in this life changing road.

Please share your progress too it will help me along my path as well.

 

Hugs

Deana :-)

Hello Deana:

I just helped a friend go off of her Synthroid that she has been on

since she was 13 yrs old and she is now 45.

I too opted for the Herbal Maintenance.

What I have learned is it is also important to support the adrenals

while on the Herbal Thyroid Maintenance Formula, as when your Thyroid

starts to function better it will be hard on the adrenals and can

burn them out if not already burned out.

So, besides the cleansing, I would take the Herbal Thyroid Formula at

the same time as your synthetic Med. for apporox. 1 to 2 weeks,

gradually weaning yourself off of the Synthetic Meds. during this

time.

I would start out by taking 3 caps of the HTF (Herbal Thyroid

Formula), and as you begin to get more energy, reduce.

I would also suggest once you have established a dosage of the HTF,

that you then take one extra cap in the early afternoon, specifically

around 2:00, no later than this so that you can still sleep.

Or, in place of the extra HTF cap, you could take the Adrenatone

(Herbal Adrenal Formula)1-2 caps of this instead. (This is what I do

and it works VERY well).

Also, to nourish and heal the thyroid, I would apply during the day,

an ointment of Mullein and Lobelia, and at bed time fomentations of

Mullein and Lobelia.

So, while you are cleansing the eliminatory organs, you can be taking

these and your Super Food for added nutrition, absorption...

I hope this helps!

Best of health to you~

we do not have many nutrients pass through the wall. We are in a

state of malnourishment. Our body does not have the proper nutrients

to create hormones. Due to this malnourishment our body has

degenerated. We have to change our diet to a total raw produce diet -

100% - until we have our guts working properly, and preferably for

the rest of our lives.

help in controlling metabolism and give herbal feedings to the

thyroid glands to help them do their job more efficiently. I plan to

continue using my meds during this period - I might reduce the dose

if I feel my thyroid is starting to kick in and do some work on it's

own. Right now I'm trying to heal the thyroid so I'm not going to

stress it anymore until I can get my body in a healthier state.

thyroid. I will use for a month and then go back to the thyroid

maintenance formula. This is the stage that I'll totally wean off

the artificial thyroid medication. I'll will work my regular doctor

as far as having some blood work done during this stage.

Herbs are food not medicines, and if our bodies cannot absorb

nutrients, the herbs will not do us any good. The first step to

getting well is to do the total body cleanse. In my opinion, without

the cleanse, you will not be successful. I tried quitting my thyroid

medicine before and I became very ill. I do think though that if I

do the above program, I'll be successful.
