Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 But have you had any side effects at all? any change at all? It seems like many on this list seem to have some experience right away - such as spaciness. How long does it take to know if LDN is working? I thought there was some change right away.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I have had absolutely no side effects or anything--I can't tell that I'm even taking anything other than swallowing the little capsule each night. I will be having my TSH level checked again in December, so maybe can tell something then.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yes, I had been on 25mcg of levothyroxine for the past few years (can't remember just how long). Then at my checkup in June, my TSH level was high, showing my body was calling for more thyroid so the dose was too low. My doctor upped my script to 50mcg--which is still fairly low, but I'd like to get progression stopped before need for supplemental thyroid goes any higher.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi Liz, I have hypothyroidism--the autoimmune kind--thanks to my implants. It is called Hashimoto's, and you can find out if you have it by having an ANTI-TPO antibody test. The other kind of hypothyroidism is not autoimmune in nature. It is just where your thyroid is sluggish and so you feel very lethargic. (In the autoimmune condition, your own body is actually fighting against your thyroid.) Many, many women end up with thyroid issues after breast implant surgery. Alot of them do not realize it is from the implants. Some don't care, and would rather have the implants, but hypothyroidism can make life pretty miserable. Treatment usually consists of taking thyroid hormone replacements, and there are several kinds. T4, T3, or a combination of T3 and T4 are usually given and these come in natural or synthentic forms. I personally have taken the natural form called Armour, which is a combination of T4/T3. I have also taken Cytomel, which is T3 alone. Some people have to experiment to see which kind they feel better on. Some will do much better on Synthroid than Armour and vice versa. It really is a dance you have to do until you find which works best for you. My opinion is that hypothyroidism can be mediated with the proper diet and can ultimately be reversed with dedication to healing. There was a book out called " HOw I cured my Hashimoto's " or something to that effect, and it was pretty much by diet. But most doctors will tell you it is irreversible. I haven't had to take Armour thyroid for a couple years, and haven't even gotten tested for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if my doctor told me I was cured at my next test. But since I feel so good all the time, I figure, why go? (I keep saying I am going to make an appt, but I never do.) I hope this gives you some info and help. I don't know if it will go away after explant, but getting the implants out is surely going to be a positive step in the right direction.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Liz, Were you deformed before you got your implants? . . . If not, you should look very much the same, if not better, after having your implants removed. If a surgeon tells you that you will be deformed, consider that he/she is describing their OWN skills and run! I'd recommmend searching the web for " Sticking Our Necks Out " . . . Shomon? . . . She's incredibly knowledgable! Start with this website:http://www.thyroid-info.com/ She used to have an online newsletter . . The last I heard, it was becoming a full time job, so she started charging a nominal fee for her newsletter . . . However, I see she also has a book out now.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 No, adrenal cortex won't help but it's good for other things. Thryoid functioning can sometimes be helped by selenium and iodine supplementation. And protein is needed. I have heard amounts for the selenium from 50 mcgs to 200 mcgs. And the iodine we used was at 225 mgs, I think, check. If you can get his TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 blood tests and don't let the dr us the reference ranges that come with the labs, they are for adults. Post them and ask for the pediatric reference ranges. Inadequate thyroid hormone or hypothyroidism can lead to low IQ.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Armour thyroid may be best in a low dose, but I'm not an MD. Were the test results compared with the new levels? Not sure what they are but I know the numbers were lowered a tad. I have Hashi's my antibody is always sky high and my T4 always just a bit too low. I'm on 4.5 grains Armour, will move up to 5, but no matter what those numbers are still the same.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 > > What was the tell all sign on the hair test...if i can ask? > > There a a few hair test indicators of a possible thyroid problem. Low potassium, K/Ca outside of .03-.35, and Na/K outside of .5-10. Also, if the adrenal sign of Na and K down and near one another and Ca and Mg up and near one another is present, then both adrenal and thyroid problems may be present. Blood tests for free T3, free T4, TSH, and thyroid antibodies are a good idea if one of these indicators suggests a problem. The blood tests give more information about exactly what the problem is. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Leo and , The best for the thyroid is sea salt and lemon/lime or coconut oil/milk/water. They cost close to nothing and are very good for thyroid. Just do not take before yo go to bed or you will be up all night. STAY away from high fructose corn syrup (soft drinks). It kills the thyroid gland. Try coconut water. It is isotonic and extremely good for you. Also kills parasites. Why do you think South Pacific people are so healthy and free of fat and heart disease ???

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Leo, Never take before bedtime !!! It kicks the thyroid so much that you will be up all night. Take in the morning as soon as you rise. 7AM is optimal. Three limes/lemons and 1/4 teaspoon of good seasalt. What kicks the thyroid is the iodine in the seasalt. It is a little cleansing also. Coconut is probably the best for the thyroid. There are a couple of coconut diet forums around. They are helpful. Coconut oil and coconut water are the best.  Once your thyroid gets going, your metabolism will increase and you will be shedding weight. Do not worry about the fat content of coconut. It is a medium chained triglyceride which is a fat that bypasses the liver and gets turned into energy directly. It is very healthy. Make sure you get extra virgin coconut oil. It is not expensive. For the thyroid, no high fructose corn syrup (soft drinks), soybean oil, corn oil or canola oil. These destroy the thyroid !!! Use coconut oil and olive oil (out of a can) for cooking. Please refer to the works of Enig on saturated fats and coconut oil. Her research into health is top notch. America is fat because our thyroids are not functioning.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I followed all of the stop the thyroid madness protocols, was on Armour and hydrocortisone because testing showed that my adrenals were barely functioning. I felt better but that did not " cure " me. I wanted to cure myself as I knew there was a way. I just had to search for two years to find it. I then learned muscle testing and found out that hydrocortisone was not something my body needed, and actually never needed. I found energy medicine and a DO/MD here in town that uses emotional freedom technique and energy medicine. He has patients use the ion foot baths and then treats also uses muscle testing to treat the emotional/energetic components. He actually uses medical intuitives to help see what's going on They're quite amazing. Within a month and a half, I went from 3-1/4 grains of Armour, which is quite a bit, down to zero. That was last August. I learned to muscle test myself to see how much Armour, if any I need. I went for several months and needed no Armour. I weaned off the HC a few months before I started with them. I just got divorced a month ago and moved to a new house, and so have needed the tiniest amount of Armour several times during this time. But basically I feel great. Armour is great for helping you. But if you want to be " cured, " you may have to look into other aveneues and possibly address emotional issues and energy blocks. -- Re: Re: Hypothyroidism Fellows Get with it! what evidence do you have to support such an outlandish idea that lemos lime and sea salt will take care of hypothyroidism. It is frightening! Hypothyroidism can be a seruious condition and needs to be addressed in a serious way. While nobody believes in the hormone replacment practice of the MD, this sea salt, lemon, lime nonsense is dangerous becuase it will prevent you from finding the proper approach. You may feel better because of the minuscule amount of Iodine in sea salt but that is not the cure! Go to a good Naturopathic physician, have your tests made and follow the natural protocol that have remedied thousands of cases. And please remember before addressing the thyroid, take a look at your adrenal glnads and make sure thsy are up to par.Only after the adrenals are working well one should attempt to address the thyroid.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 a, I am not in the position to recommend anything for anobody. That is what licensed practioners are for. I will tell you that when I was practicing, I would test the condition of the adrenal glnads with an urine test and then suggest the appropiate remedy. The adrenals can be tricky becuase they go from fatigue to exhasution rapidly particularly if you use the wrong remedy. Try generic adrenal support formulas containg pantothenic acid (1000 mg), C and B6 and aswhanganda. Avoid Ginsengs at this time If you do well in this type (sleep better, be more tolerant of noises and interruptions, etc) continue and after a few months start adding some ginsengs slowly. One huge component is to learn how to deal with stress. That is something you must read and practice. Dealing with stress encompasses avoiding stressful situations as much as possible. dedicate 8 hours every day for sleep because the adreanl restoration takes place while you sleep. If you are over 40 take 1-3 mg of melatonin to induce sleep. Avoid foods that stimulate you too much and drink plenty of electrolites. Fruits, nuts and vegetables are good. Fisg oils (omega-3) helps with stress and depression (5000 mg a day) Many times the thyroid will improve somewhat just by restoring the adrenals. If you still show signs of hypothyroidsm, after two months or so of adrenal treatment, go ahead and treat the thyroid. I'll be here or email me at frankcuns-rial@.... Take care and if you can visit a Naturopath. He/she will have a lot ore to offer, like determining the root cause of your hypothyroidsm.
