You're most welcome!
I'm just so excited about being taken of synthroid after a short time of using these changes!!

thanks again for the info How long were you on the synthroid and how long have you been doing the supplments? do you take the suggested daily dosages for all your supplments?

I started synthroid April13th. I added the evening primrose & selenium before that. I just started the V Coconut Oil 4 wks ago. I have upped my vitamin D3 from 1 to 4 just this week. Oh, and I dropped my one gluten food (white tortilla-changed to corn), about 2 weeks ago.

Of course everyone is different. I am post menopausal too. I also have been doing exercise every day since September.

Hope you feel energy soon!

Sorry, I see I left out amounts... evening primrose oil - 4 tabs (as directed on bottle); Selenium 2 tabs as recommended;
Also, soy is bad for us... whey protein powder is better. The Dr also recommended that I add salt to my diet (I eat none). Or kelp/iodine, but must do that very cautiously.

thanks for the amounts I actually sneeked a peek at your diary this morning and I am going to the store this morning I have cut out all sugar (not that I ate much but used to enjoy a drink or two on weekends) and this seems to make a big difference, sadly to say, I miss my wine

I have noticed a huge change in my energy levels in the last month which I as sure is due to the supplements and extra cardio, what a difference in such a short time, so encouraging. But is seems you have to be quite ruthless with the eating of refined sugar. I really noticed a difference 2 weeks ago for my hubby's birthday. i only had 2 beer and a piece of birthday cake and I was totally wiped the next day, so not worth it!

That's great, I was hoping you'd do that...

So glad you're finding what works for you.

thank you for this post. I find it EXTREMELY interesting that soy was added to baby formulas in the 60s, and that this might result in autoimmune hypothyroid. I wonder....I know that I was a bottle baby and I was born in 1960 so this could be why I of all of my siblings has hypothyroid! I have purchased the coconut oil, but haven't used it yet. I do not believe that I will be able to stop taking my medications, but it would be nice to lose some weight!

Hi,
Now that is interesting... hadn't noticed that part.
I started out slowly with the oil... wasn't used to having it in my diet. But I love it now! Just make sure you eat clean as well. Adding coconut oil to a diet that is unhealthy wouldn't help much.
Hope you have success!:flowerforyou:
