Guest guest Posted November 11, 1999 Report Share Posted November 11, 1999 Hi, Roxanne. Welcome to the list. Hypothyroidism can be caused by fluoride. I know it was in my case. I drink distilled water now because it's the only 100% reliable way to avoid fluoride in the water. It is added by many municipalities and it is naturally present in some water sources. It is also in many foods in large amounts due to fertilizers and pesticides which contain fluoride. Organic foods will help lower fluoride intake for that reason. There is also alot of fluoride present in polluted air. If you child's doctor prescribed fluoride drops I would stop them immediately. Also, avoid fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash. For more information on hypothyroidism and fluoride I'll put links below. It's really good that you're looking for answers now. My 4 year old became autistic at about 2 years of age. It's a long story but I have reason to believe that fluoride caused it. Fluoride is a neurotoxin, and can have a profound affect on developing infants and small children. All my best and good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 > Mike, You say you have been living with Graves for 10 yrs. Did you take > RAI? What medication are you on now? How do you feel now? What can I > expect with Graves? I took RAI. I look forward to your response. Greetings: Yes, I developed Grave's about 1990 - I was managing a 38,000 sq km field study, and working 14-18 hours a day. One day my resting pulse went from 65-120, literally overnight. I had no idea what was happening, so I went to a doctor and he ran a bunch of tests (bloodwork, ultrasound, iodine uptake, etc) and told me I had Grave's. He explained ATD's, RAI or surgery, saying that the ATD's wouldn't likely work for more than two years and I would have to go with one of the other options. Options 2 and 3 didn't exactly appeal to me, so I tried PTU for three months. It had absolutely no effect on me. At that point I left medical science behind and went to see a naturopath for the first time. He prescribed some herbal and homeopathic remedies, which worked for me. I also had to become 'aware' of my body for really the first time in my life. I was always athletic, a long distance runner, and tended to take my body for granted. When you can hear your own heartbeat you can't ignore your body anymore. I could lie on my back, place a glass on my chest and the glass would rock back and forth. With the help of the naturopath, the herbs and the lifestyle changes (couldn't be Superman anymore), within about three weeks my resting pulse went down to about 80, and I didn't take anything more for about 5 years. Then our illustrious premier (read governor in the U.S.) laid off me and 12,000 other people, my stress level went back up and so did my heart rate. I went to a different naturopath (we had moved by then), and worked with her to get things under control. Marcia and I started doing tai chi in 1995 (I had done other martial arts when I was younger), and I found that helped a lot. Last year Marcia went for a bone density test, and she has 104% of the bone density of a woman half her age. A friend of ours who had osteoporosis developing has stopped it and improved with tai chi, some diet changes, etc. I try to watch my diet, get enough rest (not always successful on either count) and keep in shape. I take taraxacum (dandelion) off and on for liver cleansing and crategeus (hawthorn) for my heart. I also take a mixture of herbs prescribed by my naturopath. Recently I started taking copper as suggested by . My pulse rate varies somewhat, but with some quiet time I can get it down pretty low. As I type this my pulse is 95, but it's late and I'm tired. Because of my driver's license (big trucks, small buses and air brake equipped vehicles) I have to get a medical every five years. The last time was in October of 1998. The MD told me that my thyroid levels were still out of whack, and suggested RAI (of course). However, my kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, etc. were all normal. This after 10 years of a supposedly progressive disease. It's not easy going this route, but I prefer it for myself. Each has to make his or her own decisions, but at least be informed about what you're going to do. I probably know more about Grave's than most doctors. There is a plethora of information on the 'net, and some good books. People who haven't already can check out my web site at: http://webhome.idirect.com/~wolfnowl/thyroid.htm Read the articles, follow the links, and be informed! Take care, Me.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2000 Report Share Posted August 27, 2000 Sam, The more I learn about it and the closer I get to following it the more I believe in the blood type diet. Are you familiar with it? The idea is that people with different blood types should eat different foods. What is nourishing and healthy for a person with type O is not healthy and nourishing for a blood type A person. There are a few books on the blood type / food connection. The one I've read is Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type. It's by D'Adamo (I might have the first name wrong). You should be able to get it at your local library if you'd prefer to do that. Do you know your blood type? Mine's A, so I eat very little animal flesh and lots of veggies and some grains (certain ones, not all grains and not all veggies). My husband is type O. According to the blood type diet he should be eating animal flesh, especially red meat (I think), very little grains, and lots of veggies. I don't know much about type B or type AB since I don't have either in my house.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 one could go nuts trying to figure all this stuff out with diet. The closer to the earth the food is, the better it is for you. Eat organically. Eat unprocessed foods. Eat whole grains and whole foods. Balance cooked and uncooked, and keep a chart of your food intake for a month or two versus how you feel. Do seasonal cleanses, and thank your stars if you have good genetics, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Pam: Thank you for enumeratuing the side effects of synthroid. They are devastating. For folks who have had RAI or gland destruction [brilliant medical procedure!!] the best bet is Armour or this new Biothroid. It is an extract of pig thyroid and has the least side effects of the options. Earl Intro Hi all -- I've been lurking for a few days to make sure this is a group I might actually be able to exchange information and perhaps learn something from; being a bit of a cynic I'll admit to being rather leery about joining an online support group of any kind, but I'm also always open to new ways of learning how to live with this sooooooooooo...here I am! [grin] Consider yourselves " warned " ... I actually come to hypothyroidism by the 131I treatment for hyperthyroidism, which I did about 10 years ago. I've been on Synthroid/Levothyroxin ever since. I went off it for a year or so at one point -- not recommended if you're not using anything else to supplement the missing T-stuff(!) -- and pretty much went through the usual systemic " breakdowns " . (In case anyone's curious as to why I went off it, it was more laziness, procrastination, ignorance and lack of " roundtoits " than anything else -- I was tired of having to get bloodwork done every 3 months) Finally went in and got put back on it, and have pretty much been on it ever since. Well, except for the last couple of months, when I got lazy again and didn't get around to calling in the refill... Yeah, yeah, I know -- but of course this isn't something that you notice right away when you stop taking it! In fact, the changes have been so subtle that it wasn't until the last week or so when it dawned on me that the reason why I'm " suddenly " feeling: Like every movement is in slow motion Completely unmotivated Constantly wiped out Slight weight gain (more like a bit of water retention than anything else) Skin starting to resemble a lizard (again, although this is usually the first sign for me!) Hair falling out if I run my hand through it when it's wet Depressed/anxious/more depressed ....*might* just be because I've been putting off getting that refill for the last 2 months!! Geez. Good news is that I picked the refill up today... But since I'm not seeing an endo for this at the moment, merely a civilian GP at a military hospital, I thought maybe I could pick the brains of others in (possibly) similar situations. My current dosage is .75, but will probably go back down to .5 by the next time (I was told that my T-stuff was running the high side of normal, possibly because I'd recently had a baby. Hmm.) And if I have another case of " roundtoit-itis " I'll probably just drive the 40 minutes it takes to get to Tecate MX and pick up a bottle of 200 so I'm sure not to run out! Anyway. Sorry to be so long-winded. I'll go back to the bench now and watch... Regards, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Earl -- I believe you may have misunderstood the effects I was describing; those were not " side effects " of my *taking* Synthroid -- they were the byproducts of having been *off* of it for at least 2 months! Since getting my refill last night, taking a double dose on an empty stomach in the early evening and a normal dose this morning I feel 200% better than I did 48 hours ago -- most noticably, my brain doesn't feel like it's shutting down... I plan to look into the alternatives you've suggested, though. Personally, I don't care much what I take to keep my levels up as long as it works!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 Pam; You're right. We all want to feel well. People on prozac feel well for the first few days too. The idea is to look into resolving the problem while feeling well and not just cover it up with drugs hoping that the drug will continue to " work " , while the problem continues!!

I need all your wonderful advise so that I don't loose another baby again. Thanks. Lynnda, It sounds to me like you need to find yourself a very good doc who will work with you to get your immune system and your thyroid up to speed. One of my clients was suffering from a low thyroid condition while trying to conceive and she finally found good help with doctors who sepcialize in high risk pregnancies and they monitored her through her whole pregnancy. She did very well with that kind of help. So I would suggest you begin interviewing doctors until you find one you can feel confident with.

I know how difficult that can be and so in an attempt to help them I am forwarding a few Web Links to the List for their benefit. Also wanted suggestions on websites, relevant studies, anything and everything and so I am suggesting "6" books that have helped me, along with some possible sources for the books.

For your info, just in case you haven't heard already, the VA was alloted quite a bit of money to treat HCV - and I've heard they don't seem to be using much of it. I'm not too sure how accurate that info is, it came from the Schering drug rep. Have I met you somewhere before? Your 'Da YOOPER' sounds VERY familiar to me. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Elaine, I think not long ago I read about a gentlemen increasing serotonin by eating lentil beans and cottage cheese (I am not sure what it contains), which is supposed to raise trypophan (spelling not correct) which in turn affects the serotonin. Also I am sure you already have read about 5-HTP the homeopathic way of increasing serotonin levels.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thanks Lamar for your informative post. Yes, I have spent over 20 years trying to find out " why " my daughter has epilepsy. I said " why " to a doctor last week as a matter of fact. I never get an answer, just: " The brain is a complex organ Mrs. Millar " . It is particularly interesting to note that has been seizure free twice in her life and both times she was not taking meds. She also has seizures in cycles and has a lot of other obvious symptoms related to the seizure cycle. Working up to seizures she can't get enough to eat, is anxious, hyper, irritable, impulsive, overly verbal, and weeps and complains constantly of pain. She also retains fluid in her legs and ankles and then it is realeased just before the seizures start (usually resulting in an accident in bed). After about 2 days of seizures she then will not touch food or drink unless forced, can't sleep, won't talk, is not interested in anything and sometimes becomes destructive. This goes on for about 3 days. There are then about 2 days where she isn't living in hell and is as " normal " mentally and physically as she can be. Nobody has an answer for why this happens. Even all of the psychiatrists that seem to be our last resort agree that all of this is seizure generated and not a psychological problem. I will investigate s-Reiter. As it happens, the reason I joined this list was to get info such as this. We live in Canada and are planning to get another workup done in the US. This may be the place! I'll let you know. Thanks again. Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hi, Dani! I am, too. I have been trying to follow Atkin's for a year and don't do too well. I keep giving up things I love (big hint they're bad for you) then that doesn't make any difference, so I get depressed, then don't even want to face having to give up more - meaning dairy. I got 241 on the test (180 and above means you definitely have a candida problem). I wish there was a magic solution, too. I am trying to stick to low carb and trying to get ready to remove dairy. Cheese is gonna be hard. So, no, I can't give you any help in the " How I did it successfully " way, but I can send you lots of hints I've saved up if you want them off list. Your family will always be like that - until you show success, they won't listen. It's a cliche even it's so common. So don't fret - just take care of yourself and your babies.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I'm nursing just one child, and it is my children who show the symptoms with food allergies (not me) so in some ways it is easier to stick to a diet, so they don't scratch all their skin off. I found the problem while nursing , at about 6 months old, and things were much better for him, but now with my youngest I cannot seem to limit my diet enough to get rid of her eczema, and still get enough to eat. I don't drink milk, but do eat dairy. I eat nut-butters, primarily almond butter, lots of meat and try to eat more green and yellow vegetables. Also taking supplements to help get things under control, making sure not to take anything that will harm my nursling. It is not an easy balance, but you can do it - for you and for your children! Feel free to email me privately if you want more specifics.
