Hypothyroidism; Catabolic Exercise

I find it appalling that several of these recent contributions dismiss the qualifications of a pharmacist. I wonder had the pharmacist in question been a male would he be treated so abominably. I would expect the qualifications of a qualified pharmacist to be beyond reproach. From my understanding, if one has an issue with any medication its the pharmacist you consult, our poor doctors being so very hard pressed.

The pharmacist in question is someone who also found the treatment she was advised to use for her Hashimoto's did not get to the bottom of her thyroid related problems. She has the advantage of being able to turn her highly educated brain to her issues in hand, as well as her understanding of medicinal interactions. When one recognises that most western diets are deficient in many micro nutrients compared to those consumed in the past, making use of a product which goes some way to bridge the gap, is probably worth a try and if it is found good in one person then it might be worth another in a similar position giving it a try. In these days of freedom of speech, choice and free will, its up to the individual to make their choice, based on the degree of difficulty their symptoms cause them. This woman discovered the product debated above actually aided her, easing her symptoms and shares this with people who read the information she freely shares. If she puts a link in her information and declares she receives advertising revenue then what is the problem. Either you buy or you don't, if you do, you start with one pill or what ever, then if the results are good you can increase to the suggested level and never go over without medical supervision! Freedom of choice. Likewise on the site is a subscription to view a Functional Medicine presentation which should also help people heal, but then Functional Medicine is a bad thing in your world. I have no idea what the conversion rate is now, but for a year's subscription to view of less than £2 a week, having the opportunity to heal yourself, had I not proceeded along the road already, I'd be doing it too.

From my experience as stated in many places, the conventional medicines t4 only treatment does not do a thing to help, so anything in the way of supplements is worth considering. One thing our Medical profession never tells the individual, from my experience, is that as well as they synthetic iodine they want to pump into you, you would also benefit from selenium and other vitamins and minerals, many whose thyroid issues are not too advanced would benefit from this simple addition, or even being told to increase their dietary iodine which usually comes with the other minerals and things. But the Doctors know best and need to be deferred to. only I can't, I've been failed, also as stated many, many times.

I know I live with a different food manufacture regulatory system, we are protected from the people who would sell us empty or dangerous product made in a dirty back kitchens. Nothing is permitted legally onto the market without it being produced in regulated premises. We have several well respected companies which include in their thyroid preparations some of the ingredients listed in the Wobenzym. If one examines the range of products you find the rest of the ingredients and more. I have not seen this product over here, there can be many reasons, that is simply not exported to us.

I would not set out to deny someone, something which may bring relief to some of their symptoms, of any conceivable ailment, yet those of you on here bay like wolves ready for the kill because someone is considerate enough to bring this to the attention of people who may benefit. The product mentioned was to picked up or rejected. Freedom of Choice.

I still hold that someone who has experienced something is better placed than those who do know, those who are kind enough to hold something out as a "may" be help, is of better worth than those who take sledgehammer words and dismiss Functional Medicine which achieves results by using the blood tests the same as the regular quacks who know less than many of those who's lives have been deeply disrupted by Hashimoto's and other Autoimmune problems. They certainly, our general medics, are not doing anything to reduce the prevalence of autoimmune conditions. Then when they go jump on the Functional Practitioners work as a Scottish Hospital did the other day, announcing they had reversed Type 2 diabetes they make it sound as if it is something new where as its been happening for years.

Thank you, but telling me Jillian Mitchael's was diagnosed and some endocrinologist wrote a book does not do anything for someone who struggled for years to achieve a diagnosis/explanation of why I was so ill. Here in the UK you have to fit a box and if you don't, you end up very ill, with no life, being house bound. I had a professor in immunology telling me, all your health issues are because you have Hashimoto's, your own combination of problems, then on the other hand I had the small town endocrinologist telling me the Professor does not know anything and then not being permitted to go back in the hope of achieving any health improvements. When both the pill form of t4 as well as the liquid form also increasing the range of my symptoms I had nothing left but to do but research for myself.

Working from the point of being at the edge of science I have virtually got there. I did my due diligence. I consider the only way I have my health back as far as I have is by following the functional perspective. Reducing my antibodies and hoping to maintain them in a kind of remission.

Arthritis, perennial rhinitis along with many conditions including well known and oft disregarded female problems are among the early symptoms of an endocrine system in distress. I have know early onset endometrial cancer being dismissed Disease: what your doctor does not tell you Food sensitivities and such arrive much later on down the road to greater damage.

Not only does the thyroid gland put out t4 and t3 thyroid hormones it also produces calcitonin. When calcitonin is low the growth and repair of the skeleton is compromised and will facilitate the ingress of osteoarthritis and plays a large part in osteoporosis. Its in the medical texts. Chronic bronchitis, salicylate and phenolic problems are more complicated, it comes in on the Immune system which is how I ended up at immunology. For me it all was explained in a piece about phenols and breast cancer, by some charity. The autumn air full of decomposing leaves, fungi and bonfires may be the cause of my osteoarthritic flare up which had me on crutches only 6 weeks ago, not long before I had been running up Exeter High street like a teenager with my daughter and 20 yr old youngest but one granddaughter. To say I was devastated does not come close, all I'd worked for, lost! I did everything I'd learned, I was still deteriorating and turned to the doctor. The gel he advocated had me unable to weight bare at all! I threw it away, gave the alternative high doses of glucosamine, flas oil and much more time to bed in, turned to acupuncture. I've been put forward for hydro in short time for here but I suspect my problems now stem from my feet! More skeletal damage. Its all in the paperwork, I promise you.

No. No, two presentations of Hashimoto's are the same, even within the same family, they can have similar key concepts but with the potential for genetic/mitochondrial damage which can and dos happen expecting a straightforward diagnosis is the fortune of few.

Mary J Sholmon writes books, including, Living well with Hypothyroidism, also, Living well with Autoimmune Disease: what the doctor does not tell you, then, the thyroid diet, Manage Your Master Gland of Metabolism for lasting weight loss and then she has a web site too, life saving. Kathleen Des Mason's, Potatoes' not Prozac solutions for sugar sensitivity, may also be interesting. Brownstein, Iodine and why you need it can't live without it.

The pharmacist in question has been summarily dismissed by the Board of Endocrinology based upon lack of data, nothing more.

Begone pitchers of woo.

Would you happen to have a link that would support your statement above to be factual? She seems to be a real person with a real name unlike some posting here.

You think unreal people are posting here? Like, are we talking robots? Extremely advanced dogs?

Info like the link above causes me to think the person is not unreal, a robot or advanced dog. I see posting false statements about others trying to help others as human abuse.

I am stunned at how the people arguing from the pseudoscientific position think the burden of proof is supposed to work.

Absolutely mind boggling posts being made in here.
