Guest guest Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 The name of the supplement is HRF-THALAMIC (glandular product) by Ecological Formulas, I buy them through Vitamin Shoppe. When my daughter was smaller (4-5 years old) i divided the capsule in half (by buying empty capsules), now I give her the whole capsule. In addition she takes multi vitamins Tiny Tabs Multi by New Chapter, half of the adult dose. This has been our routine for the past 3-4 years. The fevers gradually stopped, after I started giving her this supplement I also give Oregano oil when she has a cold, or would start her episode. Good luck. Please let me know if this helps or any other info that you would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I think all of us who suffer pain have those feelings of guilt because there are others worse off than we are. But the bottom line is, pain is pain and it takes its toll. I've been in pain for nearly 17 years with very little relief. I take meds, I've had surgery--which did help but also has it's downside--and sometimes I feel like I'm 82 rather than 52. I think that I wish I'd die because I want to do things and I don't have the energy anymore. I used to have hope that I'd get better but now I hope for my way of thinking to change. I guess I need to be grateful for what I can do rather than depressed for all that I can no longer do. Even that wouldn't seem so bad if not for the relentless pain. I get scared of not being able to care for myself. But I think if we practice being in the moment and not think about what might happen in the future maybe the depression would go away. I understand how you feel. ________________________________ From: Sara Dolan <mollymol6@...> Scoliosis Treatment Sent: Wed, December 2, 2009 4:45:44 AM Subject: Re: Re: Alternatives  Derise - How are you doing?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 ....not looking for hope Chuck. I'm here to help others. Others to feel better who have HypoT-Type 2 or Sub-clinical or whatever you choose to call it. I do take Vitamin D supplements and a few other things. Have you tried any of the alternative solutions yourself? Tested on your body? I'm not saying everything but even some of it...don't do it through Cure Zone if you don't want to. There are a lot of people making crap I'm sure and I'm sure there are more things than selenium, vitamin D and valerian root. That's just ridiculous! Perhaps I should do some finger pointing and some supposition...do you work for the drug companies? How much do you make by sending them people? Are you just spamming everyone on this subject? Some of the alternatives may only make subtle differences but you probably wouldn't know that. The Chinese have been using herb therapy for 1,000s of years...long before your small mind happened upon the thyroid. And, exactly how old, fat and bald are you? Sorry you guys started the name calling... Tami ________________________________ From: Chuck B <gumboyaya@...> hypothyroidism Sent: Tue, September 7, 2010 6:12:21 PM Subject: Alternatives Valerian root helps with getting to sleep. Many people could probably benefit from more vitamin D, among others. Selenium helps with T4 to T3 conversion. Most of the other junk listed in the list invitation does not work as advertised, although the (retired) list owner works for Cure Zone, a company that stands ready to sell you any of it. Several of the things listed are outright frauds and have been involved with arrests and lawsuits. And yes, most alternative notions have been discussed at least a couple of times on this list in recent memory. If you want positive endorsements, please visit Cure Zone. They will be glad to sell you hope. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Since I'm one of " you guys " I'll address the " ...old, fat and bald... " part first. Old: I'm a few months shy of three score and ten, so guilty as charged. Fat: 190 lbs male, 5'- 11 " ; unfortunately too much of it in my belly. Bald: Not really. Thin up front if that pleases you; otherwise falling past my shoulders. I play bass guitar from time to time with local musical groups. None of which has any bearing on the subject; no one has called you " old, fat, bald " or any other name. You're dealing with adults; may we have the same privilege? As for the effectiveness of alternatives treatments many have been tested. A heck of a lot of them can demonstrate no benefit above chance or placebo in any properly controlled study. Quite a few of them [homeopathy, for example] directly violate well established physical principles and have nothing to support them whatsoever even theoretically beyond basically magic. Chuck is certainly the person on the list who is the most cognizant of the procedures of such tests, since he personally is involved in original credible research. Why are you attacking Chuck with charges of working for drug companies, sending them people and spamming? He hasn't said anything like that to you. .. .. > Posted by: " Tami " tamijmoore@... > <mailto:tamijmoore@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Alternatives> > tamijmoore <tamijmoore> > > > Tue Sep 7, 2010 5:22 pm (PDT) > > > > ...not looking for hope Chuck.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Has anyone tried the electro zappers for their RA? I know that there are so many " snake oil " sellers out there. But, I researched and the legit doctors are having good results with electro magnetic therapy for osteoarthritis. Personally, I have had some good results wearin magnet bracelets at night. It has helped the night hand pain & the carpal tunnel disappeared. I don't know if it the magnets, or just having something on my wrists. -Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Any specific place to find the hemotite beads?

I started wearing them about a year ago. They were in my way during the day every time I'd wash my hands, so I started wearing them at night figuring if it works, okay, if not okay, plus more wearing time. When I go to bed they are loose, but are snug when I wake up, due to swelling in the wrists. About 3 months later my carpal tunnel disappeared. It might just be from having something snug on my wrists as that is what the carpal tunnel gloves do. My one wrist has no mobility due to the RA freezing up the joints. > > Another thing that I do is when my hands are extra sore at night or if I have chores that involve a lot of hand movement I relieve a lot of pain by wearing rubber gloves or the thin latex gloves. The medical gloves do not work, as they allow your hand to breathe. I found that the latex ones that you get at hardware, paint stores, etc. work great. They have flexibility yet make your hands sweaty & warm to help loosen up the joints. > > I ran into one of those vendors at the mall that sells the electric zapper. He claims that it loosens up the calcium with the zaps. I'm not very sure, but seeing that the legit medical community is using electro magnetic zapping, maybe a little relief might be achieved. The pain in my shoulder is getting unbearable at night. As we know, there are no cures, but little things help relieve pain. -Betty > > > > > > Hi Betty, > > Where do you get magnetic bracelets?
