Re: Fwd: Off topic--women's health

Suggestion: how about e-mailing privately on such non-HyperT messages?

Thanks.

I have used bori acid mixed with a bit of water and swabbed that area

thoroughly. Worked beautifully. This advice from my naturopath.

Re request to e-mail privately re women's health: Sorry if you don't want to

read these messages. I understand--that's why we decided earlier on on this

board to label such matters off-topic. Most thyroid sufferers are women, and

many of us share common health problems. If we want the benefit of each

others' collective wisdom, we have to address the board. Again, no one has

to read anything off topic, which is clearly marked. Also, it is not so far

off topic--we are discussing health problems and natural solutions, much of

which might be related to our thyroid conditions.

I hope I have correctly understood and addressed your concerns.

While this thread may not be of particular interest to you, it has generated

a rather wide response from a number of participants; hence privately

emailing would have inhibited this interchange. The agreed-on method that

this group complies with is to label non-thyroid issues " OT " - giving you the

option of simply hitting the delete key. I have found this group to be very

considerate of that convention and not apt to wander off into nonmedical or

non-relevant chit chat that so many other boards dissolve into. has been

very generous about this, as list owner. JMHO.

Thank you, from all of the beginners, I am learning alot by reading everyones

E-mails. After 30 years of this, I figure I have 15 or 20 left and would

like some quality of life out of all this. Thanks again, Ginny

Hi Everyone,

I just ran into some information that indicated that zinc was very

beneficial for yeast infections like candida. If zinc is beneficial then

probably selenium would be too.

What I'm wondering is whether there is a correlation between prevalence

of yeast infections and the type of thyroid disease. My guess would be that

hypos would be more likely to get candida and yeast infections and hypers not

so likely. Is it this way?

[Guest guest]

,

I've found that there are some alternative docs who believe chronic

candida is actually caused by hypothyroidism, or that hypothyroidism

occurs after the immune system becomes defective from chronic

candida...which is true I don't know, maybe both apply, but

anecodotally, there seems to be higher incidence of candida problems and

other allergic sensitivities with hypothyroidism.

I wrote a piece about my own battle with this at

Dear ,

I have yeast infections, and I was hyperT. I wonder if there is a connection

between thyroid and yeast?

AntJoan

[Guest guest]

, this is Sheri Lynn and I have a hypersensitivity to yeast. I have the

Hypo symptoms going on now instead of the Graves. I feel that now I am

getting balanced out with the 12.5 mcg of thyroid hormone, I am getting

stronger I can see it in my eyes of all places; brighter looking. Also, the

estrogen is important in this aspect too; my is up to 84 and that is better

for me and helps the skin and the panic attacks.

I'm wondering if a chronic infection, including yeast infections, could

trigger autoimmune disorders such as graves disease.

Infections might attach to thyroid tissue and be attacked by the immune

system.

Just a thought.
