Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sandy, I would finally like to try the Armour which I had totally and utterly forgotten about this past year. We last discussed in January! Before I start, I'd like to know whether you yourself were able to drop it eventually. I am starting at 15 grains and I will get my doc to test the thyroid every now and then. My feet are frozen every night until 4 in the morning even though I am under a warm duvet. I hate the cold. As soon as the cold hits my skin, I feel 'orrible. My energy levels and stamina are considerably better (think chromium and adrenal support helped a lot here) than this time last year but I need to really improve my brain so that it can retrieve information effectively during an upcoming interrogation. So the question is, were you able to eventually get off the Armour and do you have any more insight/tidbits about thyroid and how armour has helped since we last discussed this on the list last January? Cheers, :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Oooh, I loved that link! I have tried E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G to get my weight down. The chromium etc worked a treat and gave me back lots of energy (still on it!) but I got to a threshold and I cannot seem lose anymore. So okay here goes. I'll keep you posted. xxoo Sandy and Tim schrieb: > > > 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.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I think , in your link, was missing one important mineral and that is sulphur in the form of sulphate. I know that the thyroid hormone needs to be sulphated. Don't ask me anything more as I cannot remember where I read this :-)) Therefore E.S baths would also be a good idea.
