Diflucan is fluoride--blocks iodine uptake and effect ALL receptor sites in body

[Guest guest]

Diflucan and other meds are fluoride containg and this blocks the

uptake of iodine and actually binds the T3 receptor sites. Fluoride

not only than passes the blood brain barrier attracting aluminum and

tin but also causes genectic damage. www.thefluorideactionnetwork.com

has more information on this.

This is likely why antifungals make my hair fall out.

Yes - Diflucan does have 2 Flourine molecules - it's C(13)H(12)F(2)N

(6O) and I totally agree that folks with thyroid problems should avoid

and of the -ine/-ides as much as possible. And, certainly if one might

want to seriously reconsider taking a drug on a regular basis that has

flouride, just as one should consider drinking water that has the

flouride removed, avoiding it at the dentist office and using non-

flouridated toothpaste.

That all said, if you have a systemic yeast infection, Diflucan may be

the only thing that works and it usually works very quickly - in less

than 10 days for most (a week for many) - and the dosage is usually

once a day. Whereas, Sporanox often requires up to 3 months

treatment. You can check these two out in the Physician's Desk

reference (at your local library or doctor's office if they'll let

you or online on sites like rxlist.com or webmed.com.

Even many alternative docs will recommend Rxes for systemic yeast

infections - unfortunately, the natural approaches just aren't as

effective. And, systemic yeast can kill - 85% of AID's patients get

yeast infections and the impacts can be extremely negative.

I do encourage everyone to look up all the ingredients and side

effects for any Rx medicine. It is unfortunate that many do have side

effects and ingredients that are not always desireable. But, in the

end, depending upon severe or persistent some health problems may be,

many of us have to choice that we do need to take some Rx medicines.

And, it is very important to beware of any that can negatively impact

your thyroid. Quite curiously, there doesn't seem to be any

contraindication for taking Diflucan if you are taking thyroid

replacement hormone, whereas there is for many other Rx meds like

Cholestryamine, Lithium, Heparin (this one is fairly serious as

thyroid hormone can increase the effectives and thus may result in

excessive bleeding), SSRIs (like setraline - i.e., anti-depressants),

etc. that have contraindications (some you can work around).

And, perhaps even more interesting is that even OTC drugs can impact

thyroid hormone, such as antacids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories

(Ibuproen) and drugs containing salicylates (like aspirin).

Hi ,

You wrote:

Can you direct me to a study or provide a little more information?

Thanks, and good holidays,

Hi Bobo,

Here's an older research study that showed that salicylates can

depress thyroid function, although they don't believe it's a direct

effect - it's due to pituitary or a higher function per the article:

http://www.jci.org/articles/view/103703/pdf

It mentions also that the salicylates are possibly in competition

with the thyroxine for the binding sites (just as are other

chemicals such as Bromine, Chlorine and the Flouride that started

this thread).

Also, there are quite a few mentions in other articles/other

websites that in some folks, the salicylates can trigger (or will

make worse) a thyroid storm. Here's the abstract of one such article:

http://www.springerlink.com/content/hm505562vtu433n8/

Now, they're mentioning overdoses, but I know that I used to take

oodles of ibuprofen back in the day and it's interesting that

acetaminophen never did a thing for me, so I have to wonder if that

wasn't binding to my thyroid receptor sites.

I also came across this book under the google book search that has a

whole chapter on this topic:

Theory and Practice of Thyroid Therapy By Herbert Ewan Waller

That book is also interesting as it notes that exercise increase

thyroid function - that's been something I've been wondering about

for a while and might be the reason why my labs are so inconsistent.

I'm going to make sure that I don't exercise the day before my next

labs.

And, the most interesting thing about the book is that it's from the

early 20th century and it's recommended for GPs - you can download

for free. In the back is the dates when it was checked out - the

last time was in Aug of 2005 - likely when Google captured it

online. I'll read the whole thing through and see what other

snippets I can find.

Also, salicylates are naturally occuring in foods - I have to avoid

them. And, of course, we all know that it is certainly possible for

foods to have a negative impact on thyroid.

The concern over the antacids is that they can bind with thyroid

hormone:

http://thyroid.about.com/cs/drugdatabase/f/antacids.htm

So, the short message in all of this is that those of us that take

thyroid hormone do need to be extremely careful about everything

that we ingest.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the links. I've downloaded a lot of information from the

Internet Archive, but it never occurred to me to search for thyroid

books. Doh!

That Waller book will be interesting, I'm sure.

During my menstral years, prescription ibuprofen saved my life. Each

period was an 18-hour mugging. If the pain overcame the ibuprofen,

I'd add a couple of aspirin. At first my doc objected, but when he

realized it was the only thing that worked, he okay'd it. Anyhow, if

he'd connected the menstrual pain with my " Low, but Low Normal " TSH, I

wouldn't have had to take either drug. ;-D

Your possible sensitivity to both salicylates and ibuprofen sounds

darned annoying. I wish you health and good holidays.
