Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hey Neil, My sister is hypo- diagnosed about 6 yrs ago. She sees a holistic doc now, and while she still has endometriosis pain , she is beginning to feel better. A recent scan of her abdomen reveals that during her endo is growing along the pathway of where a " tube " (leading to the ovary) would be in a non hysterectomized female. Docs are playing with her sex hormone levels to get right dose so as not to stimulate the endo too much. Her thyroid meds are being adjusted too. I advised her of my recent diagnosis of low Vit. D (turns out mine was -4, not +20 as the doc's secretary told me) so she's looking into it. I appreciate info below and not trying to be funny, (but assuredly showing my age) I thank and my sister thanks, etc. etc. etc. I am forwarding this to my sister today. Dusty RE: Re: Sam/ /Painful breasts Dusty, I am sorry about your neighbors and friends becoming ill. But from my reading endometriosis has a major association with hypothyroidism. Perhaps she could get some relief from a doctor that does more than look at her TSH, rather they should examine her skin thickness, reflexes, and the more proper physical markers of hypothyroidism. After my personal experiences with 5 minute off visits from my TSH worshiper doctor, I was shocked when I received a complete two hour exam from a competent doctor that revealed and explained all of this to me. --------------------------- http://www.nih. <http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/sep2002/nichd-26.htm> gov/news/pr/sep2002/nichd-26.htm " Hypothyroidism - an underactive thyroid gland - was seven times more common in the endometriosis patients. In many cases, hypothyroidism may also be an autoimmune disorder, resulting from an immune system attack on the thyroid gland. " ------------------------- Breast cancer has shown (in studies even!) to be associated with prolonged vitamin D deficiency. Up to 60% (I personally think even more) of cases can be prevented by supplementation to proper serum levels of 25-hydrox-D. Sadly many women have their breasts removed, before they even have cancer, because their sisters, mothers, etc, have had breast cancer. How chilling it will turn out to be that because of where they live (northern latitudes), and deficient family lifestyles (habits of staying indoors, using sunscreen, etc), they could take a small gel cap daily and prevent all this heart ache. --------------------------- http://andrewwilmot <http://andrewwilmot.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html> ..blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html " The researchers found that the women taking the calcium and vitamin D supplement had a 60 percent lower incidence of all cancers than women not taking the supplement. This new study takes an important step in extending several decades of research involving the role of vitamin D in health and disease. The results further strengthen the case made by many specialists that vitamin D may be a powerful cancer preventive and that it is commonly found lacking in the general population, particularly the elderly. " ----------------------- http://www.newstarg <http://www.newstarget.com/001058.html> et.com/001058.html " Researchers at St. 's Hospital in London have found that breast tissues produce their own cancer-fighting compound (calcitriol) that destroys breast cancer tumors. In order to make calcitriol, however, tissues in the breast need Vitamin D, and the best way to get Vitamin D is to expose your skin to natural sunlight. In other words, the research is finding that the human body can cure cancer all by itself, but only if it has the raw materials available. For decades, the population of industrialized countries has been brainwashed into thinking the sun is evil. They've been told to cover up their skin and to avoid being exposed to natural sunlight. They've coated themselves with sunscreens (which contain toxic chemicals, by the way), and taken extreme measures to avoid sunlight. This advice, however, has turned out to be completely wrong. Natural sunlight is absolutely essential for good health, and without it, you are far more susceptible to cancer, depression, obesity, osteoporosis and many other diseases. Sunlight is a natural cure that helps the body maintain a high state of health. " ----------------------------- I believe that restoration of natural levels of male/female hormones with bio identical are not dangerous, that they instead are healthful and should be balanced with proper levels of Armour thyroid and vitamin D (and a ton of other trace minerals and vitamins).
