Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hypothalmus. Get yourself a copy of " Desperation Medicine " and " Mold Warriors " . All will be explained. And you can usually get a used copy of " Hypothyroidism, the Unsuspected Illness " by on ebay or amazon for cheap. didn't know about mold and had no access to a lot of diagnostics that weren't invented yet. But he explained very well why the standard thyroid tests are pretty close to worthless, and how development of antibiotics (fungal medicine) was both a blessing and a curse. I wish was still living, because he had long ago grasped the idea of a genetic vulnerability. All he really lacked was the mold connection and more depth on endocrine dysfunction. He would totally dig the stuff Shoemaker is into and would have made a great medical advocate himself, had he lived long enough to see it all play out. I recommended all 3 books, because together, they form an excellent view of what docs have been seeing in us for well over a century now, how they've studied (and stumbled into) the source of our ills at various points along the way, and quite a lot on how and why modern medicine has failed us so horribly along the way. I wouldn't be so sure about mold not having played a part in the past! It's gotten far worse, but I think it was there all along. What saw (hypothyroidism) as the end point, Shoemaker'd see now and start thinking about toxins and how they caused all that misery and hypothyroidism, amongst other things. But get the books. It's like the History Channel only better, and with people you know and practical applications you can really use. [The backstory: I first got poisoned at work years ago, and then again more recently. [insert long saga of shrinks, phsychologizers, and naysayers here.] This time, I knew what had happened, but not how to get it treated. A friend sent me to his Candida doc - who was a world class jerk, but who insisted I have a copy of . explained to me why he thought I felt like pure hell, how it was very likely an inherited trait, and why I had never been adequately treated. I got on thyroid with small improvement, moved to different doc, based on her use of armour thyroid (and because I had met her before. She saw then that I was sick even without looking sick, and did me a favor without being asked and expecting nothing in return. So I already liked her attitude). That doc heard the poisoning story, and got it right off because she had been treating women poisoned by their breast implants. We were trying everything in the book to detox me without much progress, but with a little success fixing up the adrenal insufficiency. Then I stumbled into , met up with KC and the Moldies (sounds like a really bad band name, doesn't it? : ) From here I found out about Shoemaker, and finally got to somebody who knows mold frontwards and backwards. I am now a patient of both the breast implant doc (who of course digs Shoemaker's work) and Shoemaker himself. As bad as it is/was, I like how my little backstory has played out. Each thing led to the next, as if by intention. Each thing I understood helped me to understand the next piece of information I was handed. Each helpful person I encountered led to the next. As mad/sick/crazy/frustrated as I've been, unravelling this thing at long last has been very, very cool. If you are spiritually minded, then make of it what you will in accordance with your own belief system. I'm happy enough to go with " very, very cool " . Despite all the jerks and idjuts we encounter along the way (and they are legion! ), there are also some excellent human beings to be discovered and enjoyed. I'll still fight, of course, but I'm choosing my fights based on what can be accomplished if I win. I'm still tired, I still hurt, and I'm not well yet (working on it). But I do get up each day and wonder what the next line written in my little backstory might be. Better? Worser? Stark raving healthy? More idjuts? More kickass-cool people? Anyway, I know I'm on the right track. So. Take whatever you can use from this little story and just toss the rest.] kl_clayton <kl_clayton@...> wrote: I had many symptoms of low thyroid for years, too, with all the tests coming back normal. Since I have been on the diflucan, this and my menstrual problems have gotten much less severe. I think the mold somehow gets into the hormone system somehow.....
