Re: The scoop on Hashimoto's

[Guest guest]

I have Hashi's. I was diagnosed around 10 years ago when an ND did

the antibody test. I have tried Armour thyroid, Synthroid and T3 and

after Armour changed its formula I went to Canadian natural thyroid.

I tried T3 with hydrocortizone because of reverse T3.

None of these approaches has worked, though my labs, Free T3, Free

T4, TSH are all within acceptable range. I had noticed that my 

antibody had been going down and recently was normal. BUT I still

have hypo symptoms. But then they say it can be low one time and

high the next. Also, there are two antibody tests, TPO and .

I decided to try Lugol's solution 5% and built up to 8 drops/day.

Then I stopped for a few days and now I'm starting again. I am not

having detox symptoms and do not really notice anything yet. I do

not feel worse.

As far as your friend is concerned.... http://drknews.com/

is the site that is based on the book you refer to. If she wants to

save money and test out her DC theory then all she needs to do is

buy that book and go on a gluetin free diet. If she gets better then

she has her answer and doesn't need to spend 6-10K for extensive 

gluetin testing. Since the site believes the underlying cause of

Hashi is gluetin.

As for the Bio of the DC in your link, she seems to be a new

graduate with limited experience. I wouldn't trust my health to her.

Tell your friend to ask her if this DC will give her a written

guarantee that she will be cured for the 6-10K

 and that there will not be additional charges after this amount is

spent (because the cure wasn't found).

Then he tells her not to consult anyone else or educate

herself and to hand him over a bunch of money? OMG. She

needs to run.

with autism.....then 3 days later to have a friend

with autism as well. SOOO I tell her that I am on this

group and that I am reading all this stuff about iodine

and hashimoto's and she should really get on and learn

some things - because she as really upset! Well, the

chiropractor that DX her told her "don't get on the

internet, don't listen to anyone else....I am the only one

that can help you" and, oh BTW it will cost you

$6000-10,000. I told her to get a second opinion, and she

hasn't....and have all but begged her to get on and ask

Q's of others with the DX.....but she won't. She said that

the chiro told her if she took iodine it would be like

throwing gas on a fire.....now I am new and don't know a

lot....but can those of you with Hashi chime in and

enlighten me....for my on knowledge?

I know of one in Connecticut. www.gotodrdoyle.com He comes highly recommended. You can also check the doctor list on www.breastcancerchoices.org

Re: The scoop on Hashimoto's

Hi Steph, Can you recommend a doctor to me, I would be so grateful for any help. I am in the NY area. Thank you for any help. I saw a Dr. Dennis Gage and I was not impressed with him. Thank you Dorie

It's not a matter of whether the iodine OR T3 OR something else

worked. They are all necessary. But with iodine deficiency, which 95% or

more people are, health is not possible.
