Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Dear Bee, Just wanted to fill you in on the great news. In January blood work showed that my thyroid function was very low (5), my cholesterol was high, and I had low vitamin D. Because I had just started your diet a month before the blood work & had good results so quickly, I asked my doctor if we could try diet & exercise before starting on the hormones, which I did. A few weeks back, I started to get a little concerned, because thyroid problems run in my family and I was afraid to let this go too long without treatment. So, I went back to my doctor for followup blood work. I assumed it was going to be the same, maybe a little bit better. But I am delighted to report that my thyroid is now functioning normally (3.5) and the cholesterol is improving also. I never talked with my doctor, but her nurse said I should continue doing what I've been doing! I am really amazed! After 5 months on your diet, I have begun to see some of the thyroid issues (dry skin, exhaustion) get better. (It has taken a while.) So, perhaps this was just postpartum hypothyroidism, I don't know for sure. But my body is finding balance, and now the blood work is confirming that. I have 3 years to go, and I am so curious to see what's going to happen next! Also, I see that someone else in the group is scheduled to have impacted wisdom teeth removed. Me too. What did you advise regarding sedation & antibiotics? I am going to have local sedation for just one tooth. My husband thinks I am wrong to not want the antibiotics. What should I do? Thanks for this wonderful source of information! Blessings, Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
