We've set up this site with the thought in mind that there
are many, many people searching the internet for information
for themselves or a loved on and are unsure where to go.
There are so many technical websites that provide us with a
lot of great information, but information isn't the only
thing we seek when first learning to deal with Thyroid
Disorders. We can also be very hungry to find folks, like
us, that have faced the same issues or may even be going
through them now.
Here you will find links to a variety of informational sites
where you'll be able to find information on thyroid
diseases, symptoms, medications and support supplements.
You'll also find links to a few support groups that we have
found to be very helpful.
As well as links to our own groups:
The Thyroid Support Group
Exploring Thyroid Disease. Medications, supplements,
exercise and group support for those wish to learn more
about TD for themselves or a loved one.

Iodoral Iodine supplement. Increasing Iodine in diet, Lugol's and
Magnascent Iodine also come up in discussions on Thyroid
supplements.
Try asking here for more detail. There are some caveats about
Iodine supplementation in certain conditions.

Also Magnesium boosts Thyroid function. Most are Mg deficient
Try to eat almonds, cashews, peanuts, all types of beans, dark
leafy greens to increase food sources. Soak in Epsom Salts and
know the symptoms of low Mg, twitches, ticks, muscle spasms,
hard muscles. Mg dumps instantly in sweat under stress due to
cortisol release. Any adrenalin release also releases cortisol.

Thanks so much.

I feel comfortable saying this since this is an alternative group.
It would
be very controversial elsewhere! High cholesterol is usually from low
thyroid. In the 'old days' doctors treated high cholesterol with
thyroid
medication. (NOT T4 only meds like Synthroid.) Get your thyroid in
order
and cholesterol goes down. Broda Barnes, MD's book 'Hypothyroidism: The
Unsuspected Illness' has a great explaination of this!
Having high cholesterol does not increase your chance for heart
attack or
heart disease. Low thyroid however DOES increase those risks. I can
post
some links to supporting articles if you'd like.
I took Red Yeast Rice and it lowered my cholesterol so much the doc was
concerned with how low it was! (I was taking it for the overall health
benefit, not high cholesterol.) All 3 of my levels were very low,
which she
commented that she had never seen! I have since stopped taking it
because
we NEED cholesterol! It scared me to have it that low! (I only took 1
bottle's worth.)
As far as mammograms, I will never have one. You have to give 2970
women a
mamogram to save 1 life, but they can cause cancer in like 7-10 (I
believe
that was the right number) of those women who get them, that would
not have
normally gotten cancer. Thermography is a better choice for breast
cancer
screening. Or take CS, eat fresh organic foods, get plenty of rest and
don't worry about getting any cancer! :-)
Sorry for being on my soap box today. I'm just tired of our doctors not
knowing that cholesterol lowering meds and mammograms are dangerous!

Subject: CS>OT question?
I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for my high
cholesterol. I am on Crestor and I am trying to not take any more
statins all different ones, been on them for years and really getting
tired of all the side effects but when I go to the doctor right away
by my blood work she can tell I'm not taking it. I have tried
natural red rice yeast, ACV, diet and exercise to no avail. My
problem was inherited Dad had the same problem. I just read about
how they can cause Parkinson's and other neuological problems and I
sure as hell don't need that. Maybe that is why we see an increase
in MS in adults these days who knows with all this crap they want us
to take and put in our bodies. Hell it's time for my Mammogram and
now they are saying they can cause cancer, you can't win for losing!!!!
So any ideas anyone?
