Thyroid Issues

April 8, 2008

When someone has low thyroid hormone production, even though lab tests

may show normal, it may be a case of lacking in iodine or it may be the

conversion process in the liver. This conversion of T3 T4 can be

helped by selenium. So I'd suggest take a natural Vit E with extra

selenium (E should say d-alpha not dl-alpha which is synethic).

Add to that some dulse liquid or kelp for the thyroid or Armour if you

absolutely have to. I would also support the adrenals with adrenal

support formula or licorice root capsules.

It may take many months.

Carol, What do you suggest for someone with low thyroid due to non-functioning gland? My thyroid gland is congenitally 80% fibrotic tissue.

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the info., it did make me think about something that I had

changed. I changed from table salt to sea salt about a year ago.

Table salt would have iodine in it, and sea salt does not. Can you

get iodine supplements? I do take some selenium each day, do you know

what the recommended does is? I have heard that selenium is very good

for our health.

I have never heard of dulse liquid, what is it?

Thanks again,

Annie

Annie you got me searching regarding iodine and I got conflicting results (what's new?) off the internet.... anyone here got the correct answer?

Now the reason I ask is because the discussion regarding iodine on this list a few days ago in reference of DH in Celiac/Gluten Sensitivity etc.... so I was looking for an alternate source of ?healthy salt that does not contain iodine...... but then you go seeking for some answers and, as usual, get conflicting results.

Clare there is no correct answer - truly each individual needs different remedies - remember the VAS diagnostic technique I mentioned to you last week and the practitioner I had sat in on with several patients? Although I was needing something for the thyroid function there was no iodine solution that suited and even something that a local naturopath 2 years before had given me was no longer applicable - however that same product well well suit you -

Backmore's Plant Iodine Supplement I think it was called - can you get it in Tassie?

Almost without fail everyone needs added Magnesium - but different people needed different brands, strengths, doses and even on occasions homeopathic - no one person is the same. It is complex, more so if things have been changed by taking allopathic medicines - it can be incredibly complex.

Alternatively if you can test yourself using some type of kinesiological - or touch for health technique all the better - then you can find out exactly what you need, the strength you need and how often you need to take it.

Best,

Jane
