Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 One more thing Dean. They talk about correcting low iron on NTH group, when having trouble with Armour. Now they don't understand its relationship with mercury, and that your body is probably keeping it low to protect itself, so I wouldn't follow their huge dosing advice for iron, but, mine was *extremely low*, my ferritin was only 4 almost 3 years ago, when Cutler recommends between 30-70 and HTN recommends 70-90. So, I have followed Cutler's advice and taken lots of antioxidants like Vit C since then, and have in the last year taken a highly absorbable form of iron called IronSorb with meals with digestive aids, and my ferritin has come up to 51. So maybe this had some effect on my antibodies going down? The other thing I've been supplementing heavily and have actually had tested/measured, is my Vit D levels, and they have been coming up also. I have no idea if Vit D has any relationship to thyroid, but these are some of the things that I have been correcting during this time. I have also been using progesterone cream and taking DHEA and pregnenolone, besides HC and ACE.----------Jackie In frequent-dose-chelation Jackie wrote: In frequent-dose-chelation DeanNetwork wrote: < > Of all the above, Hashimotos is the most tricky as your thyroid system is being attacked by your own immune system.
