Thyroid question: , two comeback kids, Colleen Somerville

[Guest guest]

Ladies,

Your kids have thyroid dysfunction stuff if I recall correctly from old

posts. Could you please tell what you have learned. Trying to pinpoint

our research here.

Thanks!

My son takes armour thyroid (he has been taking it about 1 1/2 years).

I recommend the thyroid.about.com website. What I've learned is that

the synthetic T4-only meds like synthroid don't work for many

patients. You need to monitor free T3 levels as well as TSH, and make

sure TSH is maintained under 2 in someone with hypothyroidism.

We reviewed Charlie's thyroid for the following:

Production Problems, Conversion Issues, Auto Immune, and Adrenal Issues.

We tested the following: T4, T3 and Reverse T3. T4 is the main hormone. It

is T4 because it has 4 iodines - (Charlie was good in the 70% range). T3

Range ( 70% range again). Reverse T3 - inactive. This is the check and

balance. (Charlie has high T3 - Range is 11-32 Charlie was 36 - 120%). This

means the adrenals were stressed due to toxins within your system and it

makes you hypothyroid eventually.

T4 can convert into a different direction.

Adrenals = weak kidney ( this is in my notes ) probably we were looking at

his kidney not detoxing at the time.

With Charlie there is an adrenal issue we found. This adrenal issue is

fixable by natural means - DSF (low dose of B vitamins). The tyroid system

is inhibited due to this adrenal resistance pattern.

We have a follow up this week. Hope this helps.
