think could be causing both those changes?

+++Hi Maddy. Thyroid levels will go up and down as you progress on

this program, since the toxins being released make the cell membranes

more rigid. I wouldn't be concerned about a drop in iron levels at

this point. Give the program more time. If you are concerned you can

eat more liver.

Hi Maddy,

I had low iron/ferritin level all my life till I started on Bee's diet more than

2 1/2 years ago. When I first started the candida diet my iron level was 12, I

just had it checked at the end of November and it now is 52. My doctor was

happy to see the steady rise, he said that anything over 40 is great.

So my advice to you is stick to Bee's diet and like Bee said don't worry about

the flactuation of the number because it will stabilize.

Hope this helps put your mind at ease.

> I had my TSH and Iron checked on Monday, TSH is now at 4.90 (Jan 25/09 it was

..84) and Iron is 38 ( Jan25/09 it was 25). I decreased my thyroid meds to half

dose on Jan 25 and it seems my thyroid is going more hypo since doing that so

maybe I should go back to my usual dose. I feel 4.90 is too hypo for me and I

feel lethargic What do you think? I didn't see the doctor, his secretary gave

me these results over the phone.

+++Hi Maddy. Yes, you should go back to your previous dose for now, and get

tested again in 6 weeks.

+++You iron levels would normally increase as you progress on this program, even

if you didn't take any iron supplement.

June/08 that my thyroid would start to normalize but it seems not. Just

wondering how long it has taken other people that have been hypo for many years.

For me, I've been on meds and hypo for nearly 9 years.

+++I think your thyroid is fluctuating just like it did when it went totally

hypo. Normally it takes 1 month for every year your thyroid has been

malfunctioning, which could have been years before you tested as low.
