Re: Website to compare patient's responses to medications

Wow, Rogene, thanks for sharing that!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Rogene! I typed in Cytomel just to see what was being said about this drug, (I was on this for Hashimoto's for awhile, but have not been to the doctor for quite some time), and now I wish I was still taking it! Lots of good things said about it, and I remember how I was feeling then! I still need to lose some weight, so maybe my thyroid is just needing that little extra push... Great site.

Patty, Get a small bottle of iodine-the kind that you paint on your cuts? Paint an amount about the size of a quarter on your stomach. If your thyroid is underactive, your skin will "eat up" the iodine, and it will disapear into your skin. If your thyroid is normal, the iodine will be on there until you either wash it of or it wears off, days later. I read about this test years ago and both my husband and I tested it out. My iodine circle was gone in less than one hour, and my husband's was still on his stomach 2 days later! If your circle goes into your skin in less than 24 hours, keep painting the iodine on until it stays on 24 hours. Usually this takes only a day or two. Works great, and I

would do it all the time, instead of taking thyroid meds...BUT, if you are prone to acne like I am, it does break your face out!Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: Thanks Rogene!

If you do the iodine circle and the iodine is eaten up, can you still see

discoloration from the iodine or is it totally gone? This is really

interesting! You mentioned kelp in another of your posts. For those who

don't know, kelp is an excellent supplement. It contains high levels of

minerals. It can be used instead of salt, sprinkled on food.

Mine was totally gone-I couldn't see where the iodine had been at all. I just kept putting it on till it stayed. And OMG, could I tell a difference in my cognitive thinking and my energy levels! It was unreal! I kept carrying a bottle of the stuff around with me, painting myself in the bathroom. lol But like I said, it breaks your face out horribly if you are oily skinned and prone to acne like I am! So now, I only use it if my thyroid is really off balance, because I cannot stand acne on my face! I wish I could find something else that works as good. I heard watercress is something else very good for your thyroid, but I haven't tried it yet. Selenium is excellant too-you can get all your required selenium by eating two organic brazil nuts a day! Also, L-Tyrosine is very good for both thyroid and depression, so that's something else I never let myself run out of. But for thyroid, the very best thing is

iodine. Do a google on iodine painting and see what you come up with! :)Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: If you do the iodine circle and the iodine is eaten up, can you still seediscoloration from the iodine or is it totally gone?

Thanks Leyna, I did the search for iodine painting . . . and found this: http://www.mbschachter.com/Iodine.htm My massage therapist suggested that I try iodine painting - and even gave me some. . . I'd forgotten about it! . . . Whe I tried it last night, I dipped a cotton swab in iodine and painted as many circles as the swab would make with one dip . . . ALL the circles were completely gone in a couple hours. Very interesting! Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene, That's wonderful! If you keep painting for a few days, your thyroid should be back in shape very quickly. I had read that sometimes people don't even need thyroid medicines if they just take iodine, or eat foods with iodine. I avoid salt like the plague because it makes me bloat up so bad, so I imagine that I am pretty deficient. I just wish it didn't break my face out so bad-I'd throw out my thyroid medicine!Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Thanks Leyna, I did the search for iodine painting . . . and found this: http://www.mbschachter.com/Iodine.htm My massage therapist suggested that I try iodine painting - and even gave me some. . .

What is it about iodine that causes acne? I get acne because I have high

testosterone. If I take saw palmetto and licorice, it disappears very

quickly. I ran out over the weekend and the acne came right back. The

supplements convert the bad testosterone into a better form, that doesn't

cause hair growth on the face, hair loss on the head and acne.

I'll have to try iodine painting. I take Westhroid but in a tiny dose. I

eat kelp from time to time and do take selenium, yet my thyroid is still

low.

Kenda, You're always a wealth of info on the herbs and supplements! I'll have to keep that in mind as my hormones swing about. I've used saw palmetto before and didn't know what it was doing for me. Licorice too, but the tea tastes terrible to me, blah. I have Lugol's solution but as with all my other supplements, I give them a shot for a time and then get worried that I may be getting too much. This can happen with so many supplements...not so much the water soluble ones, but minerals. Like selenium....I read that selenium is definitely needed by those with thyroid issues, so I made sure I picked some up, and then a short time later, read that you can get too much and cause other problems, and it takes a long time to clear out the excess. The best dose is 50 mcg, but I went and got a 200 mcg pill that I was taking daily, so I just stopped taking selenium.

It gets dizzying with the supplements....if there is anything that has been frustrating to me, it is spending money on all these supplements and not knowing which ones I need to keep! The only ones I figured out for sure was the Primal Defense and Omega-zymes! PattyKenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: What is it about iodine that causes acne?

Do you think maybe your real problem could be your adrenals? To me, adrenal

problems and thyroid problems feel the same.

Kenda, Yes, I really believe that my adrenals are messed up bad. I mean, I've got a bad anxiety disorder, and when I stress, I stress HARD and have panic attacks. I've had my adrenal glands checked twice last year, and both times have been normal. But I know that test results and how a person feels can be two different things. Like, if my thyroid is "borderline, but within normal range" and the doctor refuses to raise my thryoid dosage, I feel like crap, and have to take matters in my own hands and start back on the iodine. What are some good supplements or foods to take to help your adrenal glands?Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: Leyna,Do you think maybe your real problem could be your adrenals?

Hi Leyna,

Did you have your tests done by an ND? If not, I would strongly recommend

that you do. NDs see things totally different than MDs. I'm on the road

right now and will be back on Monday. I'll write you about foods and

supplements then. The supplement I take is called Isocort. It is an

adrenal replacement. There are supplements that help feed the adrenal

glands so they work better but they are ineffective for me. My adrenals are

totally shot for some reason.

Kenda, No...I'm poor and don't have money to spend on an ND....but my insurance covers 100% of a conventional doctor, so that's of course who I went to. Can you buy that Isocort stuff online? We have a lot of stuff for adrenal fatigue where I work, but I can't seem to find one that does not contain that Riodola rosea (sp?) which is not something that I should take, due to other health problems. I've heard Licorice is good, and also Holy Basil. I may try one of those.Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: Hi Leyna,Did you have your tests done by an ND?

Leyna,

Licorice is good for feeding the adrenals, and feeding them may be all that

you need. Isocort is made by Bezwecken and is an adrenal replacement. I

have seen it online before but I don't recall where. Do a Google and you

should find it for sale. When I first took it, my liver was very toxic and

all I could handle was 1/2 tablet per day. Even at 1/2 tablet, I felt

wired. Now I take 11 tablets per day and am not wired at all. My adrenals

are pretty well shot so you probably wouldn't need as large of a dose. Be

sure your liver is in decent shape if you want to try it.

Kenda, oh, for Heaven's sakes alive! No wonder I ate tons of

licorice when I was a kid! I definitely had an exhausted adrenal

gland, not to mention several other health issues back then.

Interesting!!!

Love,

Sunny
