It is rather low. Unfortunately, blood levels of thyroid hormones

and TSH are not measures of tissue metabolism. They are an

assessment of the interaction of the pituitary-thyroid gland

interactions, and nothing more. There is no good evidence that the

blood levels of thyroid hormones correlate well with tissue

metabolism.

In addition Candida emits toxins which cause all cells to go rigid,

so hormones such as those produced by the thyroid cannot get into the

cells where it is needed.

See: www.mercola.com/2003/mar/1/hypothyroidism.htm

Dr. Mercola doesn't recommend starting anyone on thyroid

supplements/meds because he says it could condemn a person to taking

thyroid hormone for the rest of their life because their thyroid will

become progressively less functional and eventually stop producing

any functional hormones.

Instead when Dr. Mercola has patients with low TSH tests he starts

them on selenium and iodine to provide the raw materials for their

thyroid gland to work better, along with an improved diet. I don't

know how much selenium and iodine amounts to take but I will try to

find them and get back to you. Please post another message if I

don't.

Dr. Mercola also looks at the adrenals because often the thyroid

stops working to compensate for adrenal gland dysfunction. But we

know that adrenal glands are also affected by candida, and dry skin

brushing helps them a lot, along with good fats and other nutrients.

Significant physical evidence of low thyroid are: fatigue; dry, cold,

rough and scaly skin; hair is coarse and brittle and may fall out

excessively; sensitivity to cold, feeling chilly in normal temps;

constipation; difficulty losing weight; depression and muscle

weakness. But these are also symptoms of candida.

You could see the doctor, take his perscription, and leave knowing

you can help yourself better than thyroid hormones could. If you

must take thyroid hormones only take Armour, or natural dessicated

thyroid and not synthetic ones. Suggestion: don't try to tell the

doctor this info or he will fight you like mad.

I hope that helps,

Thanks Bee.

I think I'm having a kind of health crisis right now.

I am so tired that I can barely get out of bed, and I

can't really THINK clearly. Even when I'm sleeping I'm

aware of being tired in my sleep. I feel like I did

when I was first diagnosed with a thyroid problem. I

can barely move.

I had been taking regular synthetic thyroid medication

for about three years before going to the Hotze Center

in Houston. The doctor there was the person who

switched me over to Armour and put me on the Candida

diet. He also prescribed selenium and iodine which I

take twice a day.

Since I've been taking thyroid medication for such a

long time, I can't just stop taking it. I don't know

what to though. After reading Mercola's article, maybe

I've gotten to this place because my body isn't

reacting well to the Armour. Maybe it's because of the

Candida die off. Who knows? I guess I'll have to wait

until Thursday when I see the doctor. I sure am

miserable in the meantime though.

Saludos,

Tired Jeanne

Dearest Jeanne. Boy, I hear you - been there, done that! You

probably need to stay on selenium, iodine and thyroid hormones.

Actually I took synthetic hormones quite a long time too when I

bought all of the medicos baloney about how dessicated thyroid

couldn't be regulated. But that was a marketing scam, and the drug

company who makes Synthroid were severely punished by a " class action

suit " by people who took synthetic Synthyroid. I have the info on it

if anyone is interested. (Note: as you know I don't have any thyroid;

it was killed by radiation about 1987.)

I found I couldn't take " just " dessicated thyroid either, so I take a

combination now, which works good for me. I take 90 mgs. of natural

(spread throughout the day which works better) and 1/2 of .025 mgs of

Synthyroid twice a day and I'm doing okay. I had to fight with my

doctor to let me have both however. He muttered " everyone else does

fine on Synthyroid alone. " LOL!

I was terribly fatigued when I had candida, however. My mother took

care of me and I slept most of the time. Between your thyroid

problems and candida you will be extremely fatigued. Hang in there,

you will get better but you may have to be on thyroid meds,

unfortunately.

Whatever you do don't let them zap your thyroid. Do whatever it

takes to keep it.

Luv,

Bee

The liver is the organ that processes and gets rid of toxins, not the

thyroid. Your liver need the " right " fats to function well and to

deal with toxins.

my amalgam removal!), but this is WITH thyroid medication. It would

be nice to drop the dose or even be free of this medication, but I

know my body HAS to get rid of the heavy metals first, especially

knowing mercury binds to hormones & sets us up for autoimmune disease.

Your body is working towards getting rid of heavy metals all the

time. It's one of the things it IS doing for you, but you can help

it by giving it plenty of " good " fats which chelate out heavy metals,

i.e. coconut oil, butter, etc., and also chlorella or liquid

chlorophyll. You can also help your liver and adrenals by doing " dry

skin brushing " daily and/or rebounding exercises on a trampoline.

Lemon juice and sea salt in water also help digestion and detoxing.

Do ensure you've eliminated all " bad " fats, which are all vegetable

oils except extra virgin olive oil - they are nothing but " liquid

plastic " that the liver has to process and get rid of.

If you don't have candida any more you can start on 1 tablespoon of

coconut oil 3 times a day and increase it to over 2 tablespoons per

day or more, plus butter and other good fats. Coconut oil is

wonderful for cooking too.

Good fats should be at least 2.5 times more in grams (weight; not

calories) for every gram of protein. These good fats do not put on

weight. Every single cell in the body needs good fats, and the brain

is 80% fat.

> Without thyroid med, how long would I have been sick??? Could I

have recovered without developing a more devastating disease?

Candida toxins makes all the cells go rigid, so hormones cannot get

into them where they are needed, and thyroid cells and cells in all

other organs are also rigid. So even if your thyroid is functioning

okay the hormones are not getting into the cells. If you got rid of

the candida all cells would go back to normal, but in treating the

thyroid separately it has caused it to go whacky, like mine did. You

wouldn't have been sick any longer with candida, and you would have

recovered without developing a more devastating disease if you had

the right diet (in my article) and aggressively got rid of candida

overgrowth.

What came first? Thyroid problems or candida? What actually came

first was a depressed immune system, then candida, and then thyroid

problems.

Metabolism is affected by thyroid, adrenals and the liver - not

necessarily separately. Many functions work together. A low

temperature isn't only because of low thyroid function.

I am familiar with Body Ecology Diet and it is has aspects that are

very wrong, but when you get a chance to read my article and you can

decide for yourself.

If your diet was correct the hysterectomy could have been avoided. I

do not go along with any estrogen replacement of any kind, even after

a hysterectomy. The body is equipped to produce all of the hormones

it requires without a uterus - check out the articles on women in our

Files on the left side-bar.

Did you consider that your problem may have been an insufficient dose?

Absolutely. The two are close to being proportional above an " intercept "

or minimum dose.

Also, your requirements may change, especially if you have Hashimoto's.

A TSH of 3.2 suggests that you are STILL undermedicated.

Chuck,

> Did you consider that your problem may have been an insufficient

>dose?

I don't know. I was on 225mcg a day before I went off of them and my

TSH was around a 4. I was with a different dr then and she wouldn't

raise my dose any. I was going nuts cause I didn't feel good so I

just stopped taking it to see what would happen. I felt better for a

couple of days then I just got to feeling junky again. This new dr

thought I was on too much when I started seeing him in March so he

started me over on a lower dose (125) and he put me on the southbeach

which has been wonderful. I started the Southbeach diet and began

taking 125mcg a day at the same time. My weight loss has slowed

considerably though, I would bet that a bump up to 150mcg would jump

start it again.

How does one know if they have hashimotos? Could that be why I have

spent the entire 3 years since diagnosis changing my dosages several

times a year? What is fine one month changes into not enough.

> A TSH of 3.2 suggests that you are STILL undermedicated.

You're right. I was so shocked that it was even that low with just

125 mcg a day that I didn't pursue getting my dose upped a little to

bring my TSH up even higher. I would hope that I could feel better

if it were higher. I'm going to email my dr tomorrow and ask him to

up it to see if it helps.

Another possibility is that you are consuming soy, fluoride (tea), and

goitrogen vegetables. I assumed that you knew to stay away from those

and to take your thyroid meds away from calcium and iron supplements, at

least one hour after and two hours before any other foods.

I don't use soy...at least not knowingly and I rarely drink tea. I'm

not familiar with goitrogen vegetables. Please enlighten me on this if

you have the time. Since I started southbeach I eat lots of veggies.

I take my thyroid when I first get up and don't eat for at least an

hour. Although I do drink at least one full glass of water with it

cause I also take my diuretic at the same time.

I was never told you could be tested, I thought it was all just a

guessing game. Thats interesting. If you test positive does it change

your treatment any or is it the same ol stuff?

Carolyn

cdmerrill1 wrote:

Mainly the cruciferous types, broccoli and cauliflower. However, I don't

see any effect as long as I eat them away from the medication. They are

more of a concern if you have partial thyroid function and a low

supplement dose. There is much less effect if cooked rather than raw.

I don't think water is a problem, but you might want to wait on the

diuretic. If it uses calcium carbonate as a binder, treat it as if it is

a calcium supplement.

There are actually several autoimmune tests:

http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/thyroid_antibodies/glance.h\

tml

These tests mainly help eliminate alternative conditions that could be

complicating diagnosis. The treatment is still to replace the hormones,

but with Hashi's, the doctor knows (or should know) that it will be a

roller coaster ride rather than a stable shortfall. You will need to pay

close attention to symptoms and test frequently to stay in the euthyroid

zone.

The diagnosis also gives you some idea of the progress of the disease

and what to expect. Hashi's is actually the most common single cause of

primary hypothyroidism. One of the distinguishing characteristics is

that the antibodies can actually attack the T4 and T3 in the blood and

not just the gland that produces them. This can make you extra sensitive

to an active attack but almost normal when it subsides.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try taking the thyroid by itself

when I first get up and take everything else later on with my

breakfast. That would be great if that helped me feel better.

I'm so sick of feeling rotten. I need to email my dr and ask him to up

my dose even though my TSH was 3 something. I think it needs to be

lower too. He seems to want to help me feel better, unlike some other

docs, so maybe he will be game for it.

Thanks again for your help.

You are most welcome. Best of luck on getting your doc to prescribe a

all your fear is for nothing.begin to learn your thyroid disease and you will

not be afraid.

do you have hashimoto.only then the ldn might affect it so quickly and the

solution is simple to lower the thyroid medication until you are stable.

the fact that you are so sensetive might have to do with adrenal fatigue or

liver that does not function properly.it is good to find a doctor that

understand these problems,and many feel beter with natural thyroid medication

then synthetic.

+++Hi Debra. You can have low basal temperature for reasons other than low

thyroid. Since you aren't on thyroid meds, don't start now, and there is plenty

of iodine than is on this program to support the thyroid. Iodine is only

required in trace amounts and all minerals required good fats and other oil

soluble nutrients in order to be absorbed and utilized - of course all nutrients

work together.

+++This is an overall healing program, so that's why we treat the body as a

whole and give it what it needs so it is able to heal itself the way Nature

intended. That's why treatments like thyroid meds don't help since they do not

treat the cause.

tablespoons a day, I began to sleep more soundly at night. Every morning I wake

+++It takes 1 month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy (or

every year you've had a particular malfunction), and for most people today that

is since before they were born.

+++So IF you've had low thyroid for 5 years it will take 5 months from the time

you are completely on the program for it to normalize.

+++Remember that the overstressed adrenals are common for candida sufferers or

people with low thyroid, and they cause low thyroid. The reason is because

overstressed adrenals cannot handle normal thyroid hormone output so the thyroid

automatically lowers its production to protect the adrenals. This program also

helps the adrenals.

+++Hi Lucy,

As I wrote before this program helps the adrenals too, just like it does all of

the organs and systems throughout your body.

Other than diet and supplements the things on my program that help the adrenals

are ocean sea salt, dry skin brushing, coffee enemas, and deep breathing

exercises.

+++Hi Kim,

That's great you are feeling good about being off thyroid meds. Good for you!

You could be retracing any past issues related to how your body regulated

temperature, water balances, etc., which involves much more than just the

thyroid.

Sweating is also another way for the body to get rid of toxins.

hi girls- i know this was brought up before but could you tell me what further tests can be done for thyroid testing if your tsh comes up normal? i'm on herbs to kill the mold finally...it's been a week and the pain in my chest is gone, but the darn heart palps are driving me crazy. i'm wondering if it's an underlying thyroid issue but don't know what tests to ask for

thanks,

bev
