I think in starting thyroid hormone treatment, we really have to be careful not to add too many variables and let our bodies heal themselves. but that's just my opinion. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I agree Cindi. I remember a long time ago, when I had to put my baby (aged 18 now) on medication for asthma. Back then he was only being breastfed, and no foods at all. My best friend who is the 'health nut' and I spoke and she told me something to try, because introducing too many things into the baby's system could make allergies surface. It made sense because introducting too much of anything into our systems can wreak havoc, and then not being able to determine which is the offending source. Since his meds had to be mixed in with something, I chose peaches the first 5-7 days. If a negative reaction came, then we'd have known it was the peaches or whatever other fruit that had been picked for that week. I appreciated the info she'd shared with me, because baby oatmeal was a no-no. It would have been something I'd have picked up, along with a dozen other things so he wouldn't have been bored. lol. That old saying, if a little is good, then more is better is not a good thing, sometimes. I've seen that backfire too many times. I think of all these cleanses as the same thing. If your thyroid isn't functioning as it should, and that's not being addressed.....what happens when all these other 'wonderful' things are added into the mixture and negative results start? At least we know that most people who can't take Armour usually have two things working against them. Ferritin or adrenal issues are the first two that come to mind. I think these very topics were what got Caroline so 'out of focus' because she was inundated with much too much info. When hypo, and desperately looking for a long term solution, it's just too much to process and digest. Then it's easier to get frustrated and give up, or just accept that this is the way we'll get through from now on. Not everybody does, but the possiblities are there.
