Re: Kelp

Sorry, Michele,

Kelp is a seaweed and all seaweed is illegal on SCD.

I'm considering starting to take kelp for my Hashimoto's (thyroid

problem). Is this SCD legal?

Thanks, Michele

What is a person supposed to do for a thyroid issue? I don't want to

take meds, SCD isn't going to cure it, & I can't ignore the problem.

Very frustrating.

At Elaine's suggestion and with my doctor's support I was able to drop taking

Eltroxin for

thyroid. This was also related to the fact that I had a major weight loss BEFORE

starting

SCD.

Did this definitely help your thyroid? I have ot check if it's okay

for nursing moms though...

- I would REALLY like to know more about your heavy metals

detox, if you don't mind. I am hypo-thyroid as well, on the fast path

to Hashimoto's as well, per my last thyroid profile done Jan 2006. I

feel pretty tired most of the time, even though I take Thyroid 75mg

daily. I hate taking the meds. I got the thyroid issues after the

birth of my first child, Ben. I am VERY interested in getting a detox

done, and I have been looking to get my one mercury filling replaced

soon too. And if this would help the thyroid issues, that would be a

huge bonus. I need to be as healthy as possible with all we have

going on here! Any info would be much appreciated!!!! And info on

when you started the " iodine and tyrosine " supplement too would be

great as well...

p.s. What kind of doctor do you see for these issues?

Thanks -

:-)

Thanks so much ! I really appreciate the info. :-) I ordered

the " iodine and tyrosine " (by Pure Encapsulations, right?) online

tonight. I think I found the " Metal Free " one too. Is the one you are

using found on the website www.metal-free.com? It says it has 240

doses. How many does per day did you use, as I noticed it was pretty

expensive. The funny thing is that my son's " DAN " doc has a whole

commentary on that website about how he recommends it highly, but I

have never had him mention it to me in the past whole year with him!

We did the whole glutathione nebulizer instead (soooo hard on Ben) to

detox heavy metals, and I pulled it two months ago b/c it was pure

hell to watch my little boy in agony. I will be asking his doc again

about it when I talk to him! But meanwhile, I want to try it out for

sure (after I get the one filling replaced of course!) I would love

to be able to do something about the thyroid problems, and if it

works I could recommend to my parents too (both hypo...dad is

hashimoto too). Thanks again - ;-))))))

p.s. Great about your " doc " . I agree with these more homeopathic docs

being better to use. What state do you live in? I need to find a

good one here in Georgia....

Thanks much ! I am getting my filling out this Saturday morning!

I am so exicted to finally have it done. Honestly had I not seen your

post, I would have probably delayed it again. I am hopeful htat my

overall health will improve with starting the SCD diet, and getting

the metals out. So, thanks! Also, one other question...how long have

you been taking the " metals free " ? Did you do heavy metals test to

see if you were dumping things? Thanks - ;-)

- My naturopath said the same thing about " protection " for

getting the filling out. I chatted with hubby tonight, as he had a

few of his out from the same dentist, and doesn't remember anything

really different, procedure wise, about these fillings getting

removed, so I am a bit worried, and my aptp is at 10am tomorrow

morning. Do you know what I should ask the dentist to make sure that

I am protected (I will call them first thing in morning)? Thanks

much - ;-))))
