Thyroid Health; Re: Fluoride

[Guest guest]

To k8teeth, Thanks for the info for thyroid health. I was diagnosed

with low thyroid 7 years ago and a very dear email friend of mine who

had run a health food store in Missouri for a couple decades

encouraged me to ask for " armour " rather than synthroid, so I had a

fun time convincing my doctor to prescribe that.

I thought low thyroid people were supposed to avoid iodized salt. Has

anyone else heard that?

I am SO glad to read about using seaweed to help the thyroid. I live

in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico, USA, so I don't have a nice

big Wild Oats store or anything like that, but a couple times a year I

make a day trip to a little city that does have a mom and pop natural

grocery and get a few things that way; I also will order from

amazon.com a couple times a year and have been happy to get natural

products through them. SO, next time I am doing one of those two

things, I'll try to remember to get some " ito wakame seaweed " . Thanks

so much k8teeth for this info. Where do you learn about all of this?

As for fluoride, I do have a filter on my kitchen sink and use water

from that for making my tea and for cooking. I brush my teeth with Dr.

Bronner's liquid soap.

Now, I have heard somewhere that TEA has fluoride in it, too! {I

already gave up coffee, ain't no way I'm giving up tea.} I drink green

tea. And sometimes Lipton tea (in the yellow box, used to be called

orange pekoe, now they won't say, it just says 100% natural tea).

I am such a beginner at all this, advice welcomed, folks. Where are

you learning all these things? Books? Websites? ? Radio

programs?

Fluoride is a halogen along with many others in our 'environmental

diet'. bromide is put into white flour(what moron doctor said to do

this). Chlorine in our water and this includes fluoride. All these

interfere with our thyroid by displacing iodine,or if there isnt

enough iodine,the thyroid thinks these others are like iodine and so

absorbs them. We can avoid the poisoning,or minimising our being

poisoned, by making sure we have plenty of iodine, because the thyroid

uses the iodine first. We have to protect our thyroid and one way is

iodine. Im using seaweed because it has iodine thats easily used by

the thyroid. 1.5 grams a day. I get mine from an asian food store in

dried form (ito wakame)and then get the dried amount thats weighed and

put it into water. I buy it this way because then i know what seaweed

Im getting. Its a fantastic green color. I then wizz it up with a

stick mixer. I have tried tablets of kelp, but none of them have the

same effect as the getting the kelp this way.

The above is one link to a radio program of a Doctor who has become an

iodine crusader. I dont agree with everything he says,but its

interesting what he has to say.
