Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hmm... I just checked the Thyroid UK it and it says taking thyroid replacement is lifelong. I'm not to keen to engage with something on which I would become dependent....forever. Isn't there another way to improve thyroid function? I know chelation is supposed to be one way. I am a bit undecided at the moment as to what to do about the Armour. The temptation of weight dropping off me is overcoming me at the moment, I have to admit.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi , I don't believe taking armour is lifelong. I have read just a few stories here and there of people coming off it after detox. I'll keep an eye out for them. My poor thyroid is just not able to function at all as yet - but I have every intention of getting it back to life. I am on 2 grains per day of armour and doing very well. Just this summer I pulled back to 1.5 grains and didn't notice any change. But I did start getting a bit constipated and I did put on a few pounds. Then I reduced down to 1 grain and again that seemed fine BUT my periods were heavy (VERY heavy) and I couldn't get in my jeans and I was getting constipated. Everything had just slowed down. So - back up to 2 grains - periods OK again - some of those pounds melted away and I'm dandy again :-) Just so gradual how things change. I really don't notice missing a day or 2 - it's much slower than that. 1 grain is 60mg. 15mg is 0.25grainhttp://www.internationalpharmacy.com/en/products/search/armour/1 I read it is important to take adrenal for a week or two - but I think that is just to support adrenals which you have already done. Most conventional thyroid info does say you have to stay on it for life (just like autism is for life) - but we know better :-)! http://www.ithyroid.com/hypot_recovery_story.htm Sandyxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
