She doesn't have web access so I've been >looking and all I seem to be able to find is general medical info. Thanks. Here it is! The most important for curing any disease is to understand what is causing that disease. Hypothyroidism is caused by 5 main causes: -Toxins -Defficiency of essential nutrients -Poor digestion -Poor diet choices, sufficiency of foods_that_kill -emotional and spiritual problems. -Toxins - Mercury(amalgam,cosmetic,....) - Nickel(tooth crowns,...) - root fillings poisoning(bacterial infections) -Defficiency of essential nutrients -Essential Minerals -iodine (sea salt,kelp,kombu,seaweed) -trace minerals(sea salt,kelp,kombu,seaweed) -Essantial Fatty Acids - Omega3 LNA, alpha linolenic acid(Flaxseed) -Vitamins (Vegetable,fruits) -Poor digestion -Bowel stuff,mucuse,parasites... -Gallstones stones -stress -bad diet -emotional and spiritual problems (meditation, relaxation, forgiveness, love, light, ...) So, now you know what is causing Hypothyroidism. Now , you have become an expert in curing Hypothyroidism. All you need to do to cure Hypothyroidism is to remove the causes. It is that simple. Congretulation! You are ready to receive your PhD in Hypothyroidism. I am not kidding. Now you know more than 99.9% of doctors that are trying to cure that disease with medications. (without succes) Once causes are removed, body will come into balance, and her thyroid gland will start producing enough thyrosine hormone. This is what I would start with: 0.Dental cleanse (amalgam and nickel replacement) for more information join dentalcleanseonelist /subscribe.cgi/dentalcleanse 1.Avoid sugar 1.1Repalce table salt with unrefined seasalt(contain natural iodine) 2.Flaxseed oil - (for mor info join gallstones group, or ask Robin :-) 3.Colloidal minerals, two tbsp. per day 4.Kombu or kelp powder capsules, or drinking kombu tea 5.Diet adjusted for her blood type. 5.Eat less foods that kill http://home.sol.no/~dusan/foods_that_kill.html (I don't believe she will accept this part!) This program works with 99% of people. Which ever part of this program she accept, Good for her. Tell her to ask Robin for Advice :-) You can talk with Annick Barefoot. She have been going through this program, and she is now OK.(after 3 months.) (I don't believe your mother will accept more advanced forms of cleansing-gallstones,bowel,kidney,...that is why I do not talk about that) Dusan :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 1999 Report Share Posted February 12, 1999 Do not run to the first dentist and change your amalgam. Learn more about by reading: http://home.sol.no/~dusan/dental_health_risk.html http://home.sol.no/~dusan/dental_metal_free.html Read first this: Protocol for Amalgam-Mercury-Silver Filling Removal By International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology PATIENT PROTECTION First in every concerned doctor's mind is the protection of the patient from additional exposure to mercury. This is especially true of the mercury toxic patient. The mercury toxic patient may have been exposed to varying amounts of mercury from diet, environment, employment or from mercury/silver dental fillings. All forms are cumulative and can contribute to the body burden. The goal of this preferred procedure is to minimize any additional exposure of the patient, ourselves, or staff to mercury. During chewing the patient is exposed to intraoral levels which are several times the EPA allowable air concentration. 2 During the removal or placement of amalgam the patient can be exposed to amounts which are a thousand times greater than the EPA allowable concentration.3 Once the drill touches the filling temperature increases immediately vaporizing the mercury component of the alloy. There are 8 steps to greatly reducing everyone's exposure. 1. Keep the fillings cool All removal must be done under cold water spray with copious amounts of water. Once the removal has begun, the mercury vapor will be continuously released from the tooth. 2. Use a high volume evacuator Therefore, a high volume evacuator tip should be kept near the tooth (1/2 inch) at all times to evacuate this vapor from the area of the patient. Polishing amalgam can create very dangerous levels of mercury and should be avoided especially for the mercury toxic patient. 3. Provide an alternative air source All patients having amalgam removed or placed should be provided with an alternative air source and instructed to not breathe through their mouth during treatment. A nasal hood such as is used with the nitrous oxide analgesia equipment is excellent. Air is best and oxygen is acceptable although not required. If just air is used it should be clean and free of mercury vapor preferably from outside the dental office. 4. Immediately dispose of the mercury alloy Particles of mercury alloy should be washed and vacuumed away as soon as they are generated. The filling should be sectioned and removed in large pieces to reduce exposure. At present the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) has approved removal both with and without the use of a rubber dam. Some evidence exist to support both views since high levels of mercury and amalgam particles can be found under the dam. All members are agreed that whether or not a rubber dam is used the patient should be instructed to not breathe through their mouth or swallow the particles. Some experts feel that it is better to remove the amalgam first and then apply the dam if needed for restorative procedures. 5. Lavage, and change gloves After the fillings have been removed, take off the rubber dam if one was used and lavage the patients mouth for at least 30 seconds with cold water and vacuum. Remove your gloves and replace them with a new pair. If a restorative procedure is next then reapply a new dam and proceed. 6. Immediately clean patient Immediately change patient's protective wear and clean their face. 7. Consider nutritional support Consider appropriate nutritional support before, during and after removal. 8. Keep room air pure Install room air purifiers or ionizers and fans for everyone's well being. STAFF PROTECTION OSHA4 5 requires that employees be given written informed consent before the use of any toxic chemicals of which mercury is one. Elemental mercury vapor is one of the most toxic forms of mercury and should not breathed. Women of child bearing age should be exposed to no more than 10% of the OSHA MAC6. Women who are pregnant should be exposed to no mercury.7 If you use mercury or remove mercury in any form the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that your employees be medically monitored annually. ANY MERCURY EXPOSURE REQUIRES THAT THE EMPLOYEE WEAR AN APPROVED MERCURY FILTER MASK. An approved mask is appropriate for wearing during all dental procedures which will expose you or your staff to mercury.8 The manner in which dentists operate their equipment dramatically affects the amount of mercury released. Never drill on mercury high dry. It is hazardous to you, your staff, and your patient. Levels as high as 4000 m g/M3 have been measured 18 " from the drill when used high dry. Levels over 1000 m g/M3 are measurable upon opening an amalgam mixing capsule. One out of 7 California dental offices tested over the OSHA TWA of 50 m g/M 3 . 100% of the vacuum cleaner exhaust tested over 100 m g/M 3 . Any office where mercury is used should be tested regularly and staff should be monitored for exposure. Testing services are available and a mercury sensor badge is available for personnel monitoring. They should test inside storage areas and along baseboards where mercury might have dropped. Office spills can go undetected for years and are extremely hazardous. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REFERENCES 1 IAOMT Standards of Care Preferred Procedure Approved 9/27/92 2 EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Health and Environment Assessment Mercury health effects update Final Report EPA-600/8-84-019F 1971 EPA 3 Cooley RL, Barkmeier WW: Mercury vapor emitted during ultraspeed cutting of amalgam.

Thanks Sue >> I believe in the Basic Metabolism Test as being an accurate indicator of whether a person's thyroid is hypo (under) functioning or " normal " Dr. Broda wrote a book called " Hypothyroidism, the Unsuspected Illness " and this book describes this test in detail. One thing that should always be considered is that many areas of the country has soil that is deficient in iodine which is a necessary mineral for a proper functioning thyroid. Iodized salt is not an appropriate way to supplement for the missing iodine. It is much better to eat kelp, ocean seaweed, or ocean raised seafood to insure adequate iodine intake.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Hello, My Doctor gave me a method on checking my own thyroid. Put a temperature set by your bed. In the morning before you get up. Take your temp. If it is below 98.6 several degrees your thyroid is down. My daughters is 96.2 and stayed that way. They put her on thyroid because of the test and the temp thing. Myra Re: hypothyroid From: " Renate M " <lesle@...> Hi Dawn Do you have problems telling what is acting up ...

Do you remember if your health problems came on at or about the same time as any major dental work, fillings, caps, dentures, ect All of these products contain mercury which is a deadly toxin. Dental amalgam fillings are 50% mercury. Mercury is the second most toxic substance on earth only after plutonium. The gold mining industry had to switch from the use of mercury to cyanide becase mercury is so toxic. Micromercury poisoning is so very toxic, that it is transfered from the mother to the fetus, and is present in large quantity when the baby is born. I am currently working with 7 different doctors, one is a university research doctor, the other 6 are considered expert specialists ramona you mentioned dry skin, I have had extremely dry skin since birth, and have always had a tender spot under my chin on my neck which feels inflamed.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Robin: If you can avoid the cone biopsy you may be doing yourself a huge favor. Biopsies create an electo-magnetic repair mechanism that sometimes forgets to shut down, then its called cancer. Many cervical smears are inaccurate and they want to do invasive techniques based on these inaccurate readings. The less you have done to your body, the less hassles you will have. If a cervical dysplasia does exist, then consider taking...zinc, B6, B-12, folic acid supplement Either squeeze the juice from calendula [marigold] leaves and soak a tampon in it and insert for 1/2 a day at a time...or douche with calendula juice in aloe vera. Biopsies are a mutilating invasion of a sensitive area [cervix]. Suggest that you look after your own health and don't let others push you into herd treatments. The Hormone Regeneration protocol is designed to eliminate causes of auto-immune disorders [if you have amalgam fillings you will want to consider removal or continuous use of cilantro herb before and for 6 months after removal. Either from Sanctuary herbs or from me] Then, once the auto-immune factor is eliminated then Thyrodine will restore full thyroid function. Do you want a longish article that explains all this in greater detail?? Earl hypothyroid Well Earl, Since it seems a lot of people are asking you questions about the Natural stuff-I guess I will too. I've been tired, and have complained to my doctor about it. The blood test showed borderline hypothyroid. In May the number went up to 11, and last week it jumped to 14.86. I don't have a lot of the symtoms...just a little hair loss, and tired. But that's about it. I've put off taking meds partly because I don't like taking any meds, partly because I don't trust the " establishment " and partly because I was hoping it would go away. I started on the Dr. Whitaker's Forward Plus Daily Regimen vitamin program, and thought I would start to feel better, but it hasn't happened. Maybe I haven't given it enough time. But I was interested in what was being said about the Thyrodine. The dentist had mentioned not too long ago (while looking at my gums) that I had some kind of autoimmune deficiency. I am 40 years old. I am having a cone biopsy done in a few days for dysplasia ( I don't know if this might be related to the thyroid at all). How do I pick which option will be best for me to take on the thyrodine system??? Thanks for your help. Robin craftyxian@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 A cone biopsy is safe and a good means of diagnosing the problem. I am all for the all natural approach but I would not be so daring as to tell someone who has a precursor to cancer to ignore a medically proven approach that has been around for so many years. When it comes to things so important go with what is proven. Look around the internet for dysplasia. A cone biopsy can many times remove all the bad cells. Dysplasia can be caused by many different things but regardless of the cause the problem must be resolved before you end up with invasive cancer. My wife who is also Hypo had a cone biopsy after a hint of dysplasia and has not had a problem since. It is not worth the consequences of a failed attempt the all natural route. A cone may be more invasive but the potential problems call for an aggressive approach and it is justified. A cone now is better than a hysterectomy later. Think about it and if you still have questions get a second opinion from another OB/GYN. Good luck!!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 Jeff: Typical medical scare tactics. Invasive procedures are not statistically efficient ways of addressing problems that have biochemical causes. Removing " affected cells " does not address the cause. The biochemical imbalance still exists within the blood and the cellular matrix. Does it not seem feasible to address the probable cause rather that resort to invasive mutilations that has no other redemming value than to " remove " affected cells. [possibly as cervical smears are notoroiusly inaccurate]. What an incredably myopic view of pathology...to " remove the bad cells!!! " Why not allow the " bad cells " to become " good cells " by addressing the known deficiencies and utilization of herbal remedies that have been naturopathically proven over centuries?? Cancer has never been suggested to be prevented by removing " bad cels. " The only way I know of to prevent cancer, is to correct the biochemistry. Sorry, if I seem hostile. I just have had to do undo so many medical mutilations that I cringe when someone suggests these invasive procedures while ignoring causes.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 dysplasia, Robin If memory serves me, this is the word for " abnormal cells " in a pap, or " changing cells " . Not necessarily bad ones. are they sure they are bad? or is that what the cone bio does? did you have a pap like that several times? my doc just had me come in for checkups every 3 months first to see if it would recover on it's own, which it did.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Dysplasia is when good cells and the dying cells become mixed together. The good cells at the bottom are replaced and move out as they dye off. If the good cells and the dying cells are mixed together there is reason for alarm It is not the " normal " process of the skin to have a mixture of good and dying. There can be many reasons that the cells could look like this but chances are it is not something good. Anytime your body has a hiccup at a cellular level you have reason for alarm. The reason a pap is not very accurate is that the doc is taking a few cells from a wide area and not the whole. If it localized then he may miss it for years before it gets large enough for them to hit the bad spot. On the other had it he takes too deep a sample it could easily pickup the good cells that are deeper below. Pap test are only about 60% accurate and that may be a stretch but no doctor will tell you they are 100% and to live with the decision of one test. The most reasonable approach IMHO is to go from a single bad test to a colposcopy, which is a scope that can rule out HPV and also possible detect a cancerous area. The colposcopy is also a tool whose use is only as good as the doc on the other side so if you question yours you may want a second opinion to dispute their findings or confirm. If a colposcopy does leave question then you would go for a LEEP which is a less invasive procedure similar to a cone where a laser is used rather than a knife. This will give the pathologist a cross section to work from and rule out error in pap test. This can also leave some question as it is done with a laser that can destroy the edges and in this case you would move on to a cone biopsy done with a knife to do as little damage to the specimen as possible. Many time upon the taking the cone the doc can see the affected area a take his section there and just like the removal of a tumor the doc your attempt to get clean margins around the affected area to remove all the affected cells. Taking a cone biopsy is not looked upon by many as a test but rather an attempt to remove the problem cells. Invasive or not cervical cancer that goes undetected is for as little as 5 years can become invasive cancer and require immediate hysterectomy or worse.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 > > Does anyone know if candida causes hypothyroid? I have most of the symptoms of that as well, and I was considering taking natural supplements for it, since my blood tests repeatedly come back " normal " (though I've read that doesn't matter). I went to Whole Foods and was looking at the thyroid products, then figured maybe I should try to get my yeast in control, and the thyroid might take care of itself. My mom has all the symptoms of low thyroid and sometimes her blood test comes up positive, and her doctor still refuses to give her meds for it, because it's not ALWAYS positive. I've talked with my dr. about this and about yeast, and she doesn't think either of them are worth " worrying about " . Helpful. > ==>Hi . Yes candida causes hypothyroid, Hasimoto's disease, and overall organ malfunctions, including the adrenals. While I was curing my candida over 20 years ago I took Lugol's iodine and natural dessicated thyroid pills which was obviously too much tampering, because suddenly as I was recovering from candida my thyroid went into a tizzy to such severe Grave's Disease that I had to have it zapped with radiation. Please search for many other messages on this group about thyroid and adrenals issues - they are often linked. I don't believe in tampering with the thyroid nor in taking hormones, because as your body normalizes it will overstress the organs involved. It is best to consistently give your body the nutrients it requires so it can heal itself. Individual symptoms aren't treated like doctors, which are not the cause of poor health. Only overall improvement of health with nutrients, elimination of toxins, and simple treatments like coffee enemas, dry skin brushing, baths, etc. are done naturally.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Bee, I'm currently taking thyroid medication. I've been on the diet for 3.5 months, hope to see noticeable improvement in about a year from now (given length of my CFS), but expect to be on for a total of 3.5 years (I'm 43 years old). What's your advice for getting off thyroid meds? Is there a certain amount of time after which I could consider going off? Or, is it based on how I'm feeling?

I based my meds and iodine on my basal body temperature and day it went zing from very low to very high. My doctor explained it to me later, that over medicating and iodine caused my thyroid to be overstimulated. When the candida was being cured my thyroid was starting to normalize but the meds and iodine overwhelmed it. My resting heartrate was 155 and I could eat and eat and eat and still be hungry and not gain any weight! It was awful. I suggest you go of the meds cold turkey. It won't hurt you. Your temperature may be a bit lower, etc., but also cold temperature and other symptoms attributed to the thyroid also involve the adrenals, endocrine system, and other organs, not just the thyroid.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Bee, thank you so much for telling me this. I was considering going back to get those pills but now I definitely won't! As I was reading this message, my doctor called to tell me I have very low levels of vitamin D. I take a multivitamin once a day that has 400 IUs in it, but she said I need to take 1000 IUs. Does you know if you can take too much vitamin D? I'm thinking I'm not gonna be able to find a vitamin D capsule out there with exactly 600 IUs, and I don't want to stop my multi.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 The Canadian Cancer society is now officially recommending 1000IU of Vit D a day for adults. I take 2000 IU as well as what I get with my codliver oil. On 17-Mar-08, at 2:03 PM, wrote: > Bee, thank you so much for telling me this.

I recommend 800 to 1200 IUs of vitamin D per day, and some people need much more. My friend was taking 4,000 IUs per day to get her vitamin D levels up; she was being tested every 3 months. But vitamin A and D work together, and I recommend 20,000 t0 30,000 IUs of vitamin A too, along with omega-3 of course. All 3 nutrients are found in cod liver oil, or IF you get enough vitamin D from the sun (see my article for a description of sun exposure required) you take fish oil for omega-3 plus vitamin A. However, all of the " good " fats and other supplements and the diet work together. There are 2 pathways in the body where it processes oils, fats and oil soluble vitamins and all of them need to be present. It is very difficult to overdose on oil soluble vitamins IF they are natural sources like cod liver oil and fish oil. Only synthetic forms can create overdose conditions. Please re-check my supplements list and also see the Folder in our Files on " Cod Liver Oil " . There is a separate folder " Candida Supplements " as well.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 What is an IU compared to a mg? I know what IU stands for, but why doesn't it go by mg?
