Supplements to Support Immunity?

[Guest guest]

Dr. P said that the Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease which I developed 10

years ago set up the potential for " metabolic syndrome " .... a syndrome in which

a weak immune system breaks down slowly over time and develops other issues. It

does not surprise me that I have a weak immune system - my mother died at 46 of

stomach cancer, my brother had cancer at 38. I always thought I was the tough

one until the Hashimotos struck.

 

Dr. P claims that these supplements will aid PN, perhaps even rid me of all

symptoms and then we will do things to boost my immune system - like LDN (low

dose naxoltrone sp?) which has proven to boost the immune system. He wants to

test for candida, fungal issues and parasites as well. I told Dr P that because

I have auto immune disease I thought I was supposed to suppress my immune

system. He said this is the greatest myth of all time. Even if we have auto

immune disease we have to boost our immune system after we take the first

appropriate steps so we don't make ourselves too sick as we adapt to developing

a stronger immune system.

 

So, to answer you question, Dr. P's protocol is to fist alleviate or greatly

improve the PN symptoms then move on to address all the other issues.

 

I would love to share him with all of you. He is a lovely man and has run this

clinic for decades. He is highly respected and a very caring guy.

 

At the same time I know that this is not a forum where we are meant to recommend

treatment, etc. Therefore, I'll let you know how I do over the first 30 days

once I've received the supplements and you all can take what you'd like from my

experience.

 

I wish you all the best - I know we suffer so with losing our normal lives,

dealing with chronic pain, etc. I'm just so grateful to have this group where

we can share our experiences and try to help each other as much as possible.

 

Thanks,

Diana

Supplements to Support Immunity?

 

 

 

 

 

I am curious as to which supplements were suggested by the Dr as being good

for individuals with both Hashimoto's/Graves and Celiacs. Could you elaborate

on what they specifically recommended.

Right. I spoke with my doc in California today - I'm in Colorado at the

moment... and he has suggested a number of supplements that have been shown in

clinical trials to help people like myself who have auto immune diseases.

 

you're right - it's a question of balance and understanding how to attain that

balance. I've suffered too long.

 

Thanks,

Diana,

there are hockey players, olympic athletes, and even triatholon people who

are vegans.

You might just need to check on the quality of your food and make sure to

get enough greens, as well as protein and carb containing foods...
