Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I have been reading on the heathiertalk forum and one person states that taking thyroid medication only suppresses the real problem..that the endoctirne system needs to be treated as a whole and that a good naturopath or TCM practitioner was needed. Any comments on this? Pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 , Do you think they are talking about things like amalgam fillings, fluoride, etc? I'm relatively new to all of this. In my case, I am almost positive that hypothyroidism is hereditary. My two girls are very likely hypothyroid. I'm pretty sure my father was hypothyroid but never diagnosed prior to dieing. I'm also fairly sure that my aunt (my father's side) is hypothyroid. I'll be curious to see what comments Jan has.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 No I dont think that is what they are talking about. I too am pretty new at this. I do think hypothyroidsm can be hereditary but not always. I know that is not the cause in my case.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I had all my amalgams taken out a few years ago...i thought I had chronic fatigue syndrome - which I may have. It definitely helped! but was a hassle!!! Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Please understand that while it can be hereditary, we have also had 40+ years of flouridated water as well as other chemical exposures, (i.e., synthetic hormones) which damages if not kills off the thyroid. I grew up with flouridated water, yet have a mouth full of cavities--and we rarely had sugar of any kind. You're right, the whole endocrine system is affected and may need treatment--but if one is off, they're all off, so why no start with the one that's out and work from there? I don't even want to THINK about getting my amalgams changed out. . .I don't know if anyone around here does that sort of thing, either.
