RE: What do I do now please?+Steph

[Guest guest]

Steph, now you

have answered my question that I was looking for. I thought having this

elevated TSH for MORE than 6 months was a problem and I should be trying to get

it back down by lowering my dose.

So I will just

ignore it then. I guess I didn’t realize that the TSH is what would

RAISE the Free T’s and I’ve read all the material I was sent.

I’ve read

all of Dr. B’s books and I don’t remember reading that I could

improve the T’s with a higher TSH.

Sorry to drive

you crazy my dear and thanks.

I say

this tenderly but you are driving me crazy with your worry. Why

worry that only a few have increases in TSH? If you go back to the

guide you will see that it is NORMAL

for this to happen. So why did you bring your Iodine dose down? If

it were me I would continue to push it to see if I could improve the

Free's. Also, you have seen the nutrients that help to support the

thyroid - because I sent you to them a few days ago.

I

think you need to figure out what your health goals are and then set out a plan

of attack. I understand fear and wondering if you are on the right track

with what you are doing. I was fighting cancer and had 2 children ages 3

yrs & 5 yrs. I was told by my endo that if I didn't do things his way

I would die. That is terrifying. But I had to put those fears aside

because they are damaging to your body too. Do the right things and your

body will heal. Maybe you will need to take thyroid medication because

there is too much damage (how much more damaged can you get than having a

thyroid removed like I have had) but the rest of your body is an amazing

thing.

Three

things are key:

Food /

Nutrients

Detoxification

Mental

Attitude

You

can overcome a lot with these three things.

What do I

do now please?

Hello:

I

started Iodine in July and right away the TSH started rising which I thought

was normal and that within about 6 months, it would go down. Steph says

that MOST don’t rise. So what do I do now? I was taking 100

mg. of Iodone and now have dropped back to 50 mg. That decrease should make the

TSH go back down. Is that idea? Steph’s words are in blue

below. I just don’t know where to go from here. Is it important now

to get the TSH back

down?

Ok, looking again I can see

that your Free's have stayed the same but your TSH has increased and that would

more than likely be iodine.

Thanks,

Bonnie
