Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 If looking for a cause (and possible reversal) to your thyroid cancer, you might consider, if applicable, your silver (half mercury) fillings. The thyroid is one of the places mercury accumulates in the body. Mercury is the most poisonous substance on the planet (non-radioactive) and is a carcinogen. If interested or if it's applicable let me know and I can provide more information. Best regards, steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi. I also have a papillary thyroid tumor-- 1.1 cm. I also have a 2 year old and was extremely upset about the fact that I would have to quarantine myself from my baby during the radioactive iodine treatment-- and also that I would have to go off of the thyroid medication for up to a week prior since I have a history of depression. I delved into the online research literature (there's a great Canadian site that has a database of primary literature you can search). What I found was about 5 studies that found no statistical difference in cancer recurrence in people with tumors under 2 cm between folks who got the RAI versos those who didn't. In fact, all of the studies that I found that compared cancer recurrence in RAI vs non RAI patients recommended limiting RAI use to the higher risk patients. The main benefit to the RAI ablation seems to be diagnostic because it is easier to do a body scan later. I'm about to get a second opinion at City of Hope hospital in Pasadena to see what they say. I'll keep you posted. By the way, there's also a website: thyroidectomy.com for a surgen who performs low-scar surgeries in Iowa and I know they don't give routine RAI ablation. Regarding natural methods I have made online friends with a girl who opted for no surgery (as did I 10 years ago). She and I both kept our tumors from growing using natural methods so it's possible. She actually shrunk hers but it comes and goes and she has to really stay on it. I'll keep you posted. -Kindred > > > Hi , > > Thanks for responding to me regarding my PTC. I was told that anaplastic thyroid cancer can occur if the Papillary Thyroid cancer is left untreated for a long time. I think I may have had this since 2004 but I don't know if it was cancerous back then, the tumor has doubled in size from 5 mm to 10 mm, within five years. The doctors are the one's that are scareing me because they're telling me to hurry and have the surgery because Papillary Carcinoma usually throws off Thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase and my blood levels are all normal, which could indicate that there could be different cells inside the nodules and they won't know until the tumor is removed. > > > > My surgeon is telling me the reason why my levels are all normal is because it's not in my lymph nodes, which is a great thing.I'm scheduled to have a lobectomy in 2 months. > > > > Why can't they try to shrink my tumor without surgery by taking I131?

My thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase levels are ALL normal as well as my T3, T4 and TSH, could this mean that it's not papillary carcinoma because PTC usually elevates the Thyroglobulin and Thyroperoxidase levels? I am really frightened and worried because I read that Papillary Carcinoma can turn into Anaplastic cancer if it's not treated.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Radioiodine is an ablation therapy meant to kill any small remnants of the cancer or to kill thryroid cells that have traveled to other areas of the body. It is not meant to shrink large primary thyroid tumors. If you really do not want to have the surgery, there are natural ways of healing such as the budwig diet, oleander and many other things. These therapies take faith in alternative, serious comittment, and altering your entire lifestyle. If natural healing is appealing to you, I would say give it a go but remember it is going to take ALOT of work. If this does not apeal to you I would tell you that the sugery is not that bad. I had a complete thyroidectomy and neck dissection which was not fun but a lobectomy is much less invasive and you should recover in about two weeks. The radioiodine will get rid of the rest but I would recommend looking into alternative methods to avoid a recurrence. But once again I would like to tell you that thyroid cancer is often very treatable and I truly believe that you are going to be just fine. ________________________________ From: cast3924 Hi , Thanks for responding to me regarding my PTC. I was told that anaplastic thyroid cancer can occur if the Papillary Thyroid cancer is left untreated for a long time.

My surgeon is telling me the reason why my levels are all normal is because it's not in my lymph nodes, which is a great thing.I'm scheduled to have a lobectomy in 2 months. Why can't they try to shrink my tumor without surgery by taking I131? Is there any other option? Can anything other than surgery help to get rid of this cancerous tumor in my right lobe?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I have a nodule in my right thyroid and I got the results back yesterday for the biopsy and they said it was suspicious for thyroid cancer and that the only alterative was to remove the thyroid and be on thyroid hormone medication for the rest of my life. I do not want to have my thyroid removed and would like to know if anyone knows of any alternative treatments? I am not sure what to do as I hear that only about 20% of those that are suspicous are truly cancer. Any suggestions? Anyone know of a thyroid specialist in the Los Angeles area?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 There are actually 4 types of thyroid cancer: Papillary (most common and what I had) Follicular Medullary Anaplastic The last two on the list are aggressive kinds. You can read more here http://www.thyca.org/types.htm Thyroid cancer is a specialty of mine and I am studying for my doctorate of naturopathy and intend to work with people suffering from thyroid issues. Thyroxine is not a good option for thyroidless individuals it is only the T4 hormone and not T4 / T3 as stated below. 20% of tri-iodothyronine (T3) comes directly from the thyroid gland and is not replaced by synthetic T4 only drugs like Levoxyl or Synthroid and depends on the bodies ability to convert T4 to T3 in the liver and kidneys. I spent 6 years on Synthroid suffering from worsening symptoms of adrenal fatigue, anxiety attacks, depression, weight gain and more. My doctors shoved antidepressants at me telling me that my thyroid removal was not related to my issues. Well guess what - it is related. Undertreated thyroid causes adrenal fatigue which causes a host of other imbalances. I was placed on Armour thyroid (desiccated thyroid glandular (rx) that contains T1, T2, T3 and T4 hormones as well as calcitonen for good bone health) and all my symptoms began to leave. I no longer suffer from any of the issues I used to. My story can be read on my blog (link to the top right) of my website www.naturalthyroidchoices.com . Issues with thyroid nodules and even cancer are due to low nutrients of iodine and selenium (to name a few as it is not this simplistic) and there are doctors that specialize in helping to restore balance. The best resource for good natural doctors skilled in this is my friends website http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/ipractitioners.html Best wishes on your journey. Ripping out the thyroid is not the answer. I did it 10 years ago and I regret it. If I had it to do again I would try to heal naturally. I have known a few that have done it. Re: [ ] thyroid cancer a, No two cases are alike but my wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer forty+ years ago. The biopsies were inconclusive, in that some spots were positive others negative. The surgeon in charge told us that everyone had some positives and to try thyroxine therapy to reduce its size and check every year. I learned that there are two kinds of thyroid cancer One is very aggressive and will do you in in months. The other is very slow and usually people die of something else. She is 71 and in good health but she has been faithfully taking thyroxine (T3 and T4) for all these years.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi a: I am 34 years old and last year around July I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer, I had a 4 cm nodule on the left side of my thyroid...my fine needle aspiration (biopsy) came back benign (no cancer) but since my nodule was so big my endo and surgeon recommended that I remove at least half of my thyroid gland and leave the other side untouched. Since I did not know better I had one side of my thyroid removed, at that point the mass or nodule taken out was further studied and after 2 pathologists studied the nodule taken out they concluded that I had follicular cancer a variant of paplilary a.k.a thyroid carcinoma....and it was at stage one and there are actually 4 types of Thyroid Cancer, the most aggressive is anaplastic and that one is deadly. Luckily I had the non-aggressive kind but just being diagnosed was enough for me to get freaked out and had a complete thyroidectomy and thought to myself " i'd rather be on synthroid than have cancer " BUT I should have WAITED and done more research, it wasn't until after my surgeries and radioactive iodne that I started looking for more safe and alternative treatments...I would encourage you to first try alternative and the last last last last card should be taking your thyroid gland out....synthroid is no fun, look up synthroid and you will see other patient's experiences with it, some are okay some are not. After a year I bearly feel " balanced " and the radioactive idone really really really weekend my body. I think that I feel more balanced because I started juicing about 3 times a week in the mornings, I also drink liquid calcium with vitamin d because during my surgeries my parathyriod gland was taken out and our parathyroid gland controls our calcium levels. Being diagnosed with cancer is no fun, but you have to stick to your GUT feeling, I encourage you to try alternative treatments first. This is just my own personal experience, everyone is unique and different. Looking back I would have not done the 2nd surgery and would have tried alternative natural treatments before taking out the other half of my thyroid gland. Right now you have a thyroid gland that you can work with and try to revamp, there are alternative ways to ensure that your thyroid gland is properly producing good T3 and T4. Our bodies reproduce cells constantly and you can work with your body to create good cells and get rid of the toxins that created the cancer. Please see Oasis of Healing Dr. Lodi to better understand how we can stop making cancer and get rid of toxins in our bodies, the testimonies on his website validate the patient's feelings and educates the patient on the subject matter. Do not be afraid of cancer educate yourself and this group is the first step in the right direction. All my best to you, please continue to communicate and be POSITIVE and STRONG! ;*) > > a, No two cases are alike but my wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer > forty+ years ago.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I agree with Steve. I began to heal when I had my 11 amalgams removed along with a root canal tooth that had a cavitation. I found this research article on my journey http://www.iodine4health.com/disease/thyroidisease/thyroidcancer/zaichick_thyroi\ d_cancer.htm This website is a repository for the research we find on the IODINE group I run. Steph [ ] Re: thyroid cancer a You need to search as to the cause of this. I would focus on mercury toxcity due to either silver/mercury fillings, or if you eat a lot of seafood, especially canned seafood. My dentist has been fighting thryoid cancer for years to which she attributes to mercury. I reversed, ues reversed, my hypothyroidism by safely getting rid of my 8 silver fillings. My wife has 3 sisters. 3 of the 4 sisters have hypothyroidism, one does not. Yes, the one without silver fillings has a perfectly functioning thyroid. My wife also has Hashimoto's disease. Time will tell if her thyroid heals now that she had her fillings removed last year. Also, several studies with sheep were performed in Canada where they put radioactive (so they can trace where mercury went) silver fillings in sheep. The thyroid was one of the predominant areas where mercury accumulated. You can find tons of links on Google discussing mercury and the thyroid. It's more difficult to find sites or studies actually saying mercury will cause cancer. With my experience fighting lymphoma, I'd say it does and have data/graphs to show this. best regards, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 , this is the best news yet. Thank-you for you story. I am assuming she did not take out her thyroid. Was her test suspicious for cancer? I would love to hear more about your story and if the nodule ever went away. I am still shocked from the news since I just received it a few days ago. I am trying to get as much information as possible. I knew I had a nodule 6 months ago on a cat scan for a head injury. But I have no health insurance and had to go to county which is very slow. I finally got the biopsy 6 months later. I was told I most likely have follicular thyroid cancer which I guess is also slow. Did hers spread anywhere else or do you think it was benign all along? Did the nodule get larger or shrink? I would love to have a private email with you on this as I need answers so you are free to write me at pmariemichel@... if you like. I hope it is ok to post my email. a ________________________________ From: <Cuns-Rial@...> Sent: Thu, September 9, 2010 a, No two cases are alike but my wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer forty+ years ago.

Do not allow yourself to be stampeded into surgery because of " suspicion " . You need to have more information because information is your best friend.
