Thyroid antibodies....I have Hashimoto's. My antibodies

[Guest guest]

test said I'm at 666. Is there any need to try to get the

antibodies in the normal range? Will it make me feel better? My

doctor told me most people can't get their antibodies down. He told

me to get plenty of rest, eat low carb, exercise, take my meds,

avoid sugar and don't worry about it. What do you all think?

Taking selenium will help reduce the anti-bodies. 200 mcg for a

month, then drop to 100. Do NOT try to take megadoses; it can become

toxic. Avoid iodine. It stimulates the thyroid and can provoke

attacks. Other than that, I agree with the doc.

Cheers,

Friday

When I get home later this week I'll post the abstract of a study

that shows that biocompatible selenium suppresses thyroid peroxidases

I don't recall the effect on the antithyroid antibodies though...
