Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I responded earlier today but my computer locked up and I lost it. Sorry but this is an abbreviated reply relative to this afternoon. Composite fillings cost more (maybe $100-$150 per filling) depending on your area and the number of surfaces involved, than amalgam/mercury fillings. Insurance will cover the cost of mercury only. Additional costs are the patient's responsibility (thank you again ADA). If you are in Northern Illinois I can recommend several dentists. If not, here are two links to help find a good/safe biological dentist: http://www.iaomt.org/patients/search.aspx http://www.hugginsappliedhealing.com/alliancedentist.php I hope this helps. If you want to discuss further please feel free to contact me via email. sincerely, steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 That's what Armour is.....as I stated I am was put on that - in 2006. I am now on Nature-throid since Forest changed the formula of Armour and I did not do well on it at all.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 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 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Steve, I had my mercury fillings removed about 6 years ago. Is it possible that the mercury is still in the thyroid? I am really wondering if I truly have cancer as I am in the suspicious category. I would hate to have my thyroid removed to find out it was benign. Does anyone know of a MD that specialized in thryoid with more of a natural approach that they could recommend? a ________________________________ From: steve_lmcs <lmcs@...> Sent: Thu, September 9, 2010 9:52:38 AM Subject: [ ] Re: thyroid cancer a You need to search as to the cause of this.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Becky, Welcome to the group. What kind of treatment are you having for your thyroid cancer? What stage were you? It is normal for there to be lots of lumps in our breasts. Hormone changes are generally the cause. However, if you have lots of lumps, then generally, an ultrasound is requested. You may want to request an MRI as well. I also suggest finding a thermogram center in your town. Please research thermography and check it out. ar > > Hi all this is becky H.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 The reason you are now having issues with your breasts is because you didn't take care of the underlying issue in thyroid cancer. That is low iodine and toxicity. When doctors remove the thyroid and radiate you they tell you this will take care of it. But why did you get it? I had thyroid cancer 11 years ago. Had my thyroid removed and over 5 years I received 3 rounds of radioactive iodine. It wasn't until I went to a holistic doctor that I began to heal. I had fibrous masses in my breasts and PCOS. They are now taken care of. My story is on my website at www.naturalthyroidchoices.com Look to the right there is a link to my blog. You will see what I did on my journey from dx to healing. I run the Iodine group on where we discuss the protocols. Join us and we will help you. Buist, ND [ ] thyroid cancer Hi all this is becky H.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I beg to differ. It is NOT normal to have lumps in your breasts. Doctors keep telling us this when it is not true. Poor diet, toxicity and low nutrient levels create this abnormal tissue. There is nothing normal about this. Buist, ND [ ] Re: thyroid cancer Hi Becky, Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Cysts can be quite normal, as well as fibroadenomas. They swell with hormones, and then decrease, causing lumps that may come and go. Some people just have lumpy breast tissue. It does not always indicate a problem with iodine or indicate cancer. > > I beg to differ. It is NOT normal to have lumps in your breasts. Doctors keep telling us this when it is not true.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 It sounds to me that what is saying, in another way, is that it this is “not normal†and I’ll add, but not uncommon. That’s a big difference from “normalâ€. Thankfully these ‘common’ but not normal occurrences do not kill us outright but are signs that things are not functioning properly. This can be a bit of semantics but we are here to learn the correct thought process as that will help us in other areas. Most of what we see when ‘things’ are found in our bodies are simply ‘symptoms’ not the actual issue however the symptoms are the things that get us to act. By the way, a bodily defense can be harmful but in very few cases. For example the bee sting can bring the defense of swelling but if it happens to be your tongue and it swells and cuts off your air supply, a lot good the defense was in that situation. Tumors that grow and cut off supply to other parts of the body cease to be a defense and have to be addressed don’t they? We are mostly here in a learning capacity and we learn from each other so keep putting out your thoughts and we should not be offended when someone questions our conclusions. Joe C.
