Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi, I have a question about my hypo medication. I take .05 mg of Levothyroxine every morning. Would you suggest staying on it while I'm on the diet or not? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you suggest staying on it while I'm on the diet or not? +++Hi , Your thyroid will normalize on this program so you do not want to be taking meds when that happens. That's how I lost my thyroid in 1986 because I was still taking thyroid hormones and iodine when my thyroid was trying to normalize, which made it go into a tizzy, from low to high. But I didn't know that was what was happening. When you need to be totally off them depends upon how long your thyroid has been low, since it takes 1 month of natural healing for every year. If your thyroid has been low for 6 years it will take 6 months, once you are completely on this program, for it to normalize. You should be off meds at least 1 month before the 6 month timeline, i.e. 5 months. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thanks. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid about a six months ago, but I think it may have been present for quite some time before that. Maybe the best thing to do is go off of the meds now and get a baseline blood analysis, continue on the diet and check again in a few months? > > > > It's a synthetic thyroid medication. > > > Hi, I have a question about my hypo medication.

Yes, it is much safer to stop taking them now since it may take less than 1 month for your thyroid to start normalizing. You can do tests if you want, but you'll know when your thyroid is better.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I had very obvious hypothyroid symptoms since late 2007 and this time coconut oil did not seem to help at all. However, I think I have had a low level thyroid problem for some time and when I first started coconut oil in 2005 it seemed to help quite a bit with some of the symptoms. I don't know about cholesterol but mine cholesterol was recently tested and was all within range on a high good fat diet as per Nourishing Traditions/Weston Price.
