I need help with an alternative treatment to hypothyroid?
Hi,
I'm 28 and enjoy hypothyroid, I've been taking levoxyl per my endrocon and I really am not seeing any results. If anything I feel approaching I'm getting worse. It's been over a year and I started off taking 25mcg and presently I'm at 120mcg.
Lately I've been having chest aching and had two echo's done and both tech's said they saw liquid around my heart.
The first doctor said it wasn't fluid and it was normal and I'm waiting for the results for my second interview.
I did some on line research and found that some people who hold hypo thyroid and/or take levoxyl can get soft around their hearts.
I'm concerned and would really love a natural approach for this condition.
To top it stale my cholesterol is out of control, nearly 300. My doctor says it's due to my genes and thyroid.
So I try to get through very healthy, darkened greens, spinach, salads, whole grains and such, but from more research am finding these foods are bleak for a thyroid condition.
I'm really confused and don't know what to do.
Answer: There is a natural alternative to your medication, which has be found to be just as effective.
Sold by prescription lone under the name Armour Thyroid(R), it's an extract of pig thyroid, and contains both T 4 and T 3.
Good luck..
There are a few nutrients that are remarkably good for Thyroid nourishment. Some of the best and most popular ones are Iodine (make sure you don't hold too much), L-Tyrosine, Coleus Forskohlii (an herb), and several of the B Vitamins. You may want to also check with a doctor to make sure that you don't enjoy a medical condition or anything that's affecting your Thyroid to be on the safe side. Good luck! Herbs are another route to try

I totally understand what you are going through. I started out on Levoxyl. It did nothing at adjectives for my symptoms. Finally at the 9 month mark, I decided I call for a better treatment. I went to an endo who refused Armour which I looked-for, but he let me try a small amount of Cytomel added to the Levoxyl. It made a big difference and I did the Levoxyl with Cytomel for 2 years. One time I decided that I wanted to try Armour (natural thyrid med) and I switched doctors once again. Armour made even a bigger difference and I enjoy been on it now for 5 years.
About the cholesterol...it could be thyroid related. I saw mine drop nearly 60 points once I got my thyroid levels right and I added walnuts to my cereal respectively morning and organic aple cider vinegar before dinner. With Armour, it is in tune by free t4 and free t3, not by TSH. If you want a natural alternative try looking up Armour thyroid. There's lots of info out there and most who made the switch surface so much better.
Hi Mary. I am in the same boat as you and will convey you what helps for me. Quit your meds if you have juice around your heart!
Take coconut oil (1-2 tbsp) daily. Cook next to it. The lauric acid in it help stimulate the thyroid. Get plenty of B vitamins. I drink a lot of powerade and have grilled chicken breast day after day. Eat scrambled egg whites and ground flaxseed mixed with milk for breakfast. Fruits are ok. Get more selenium in your diet (shrimp, brazil nuts). Most greens are a no no (like broccoli). Google goitrogens to find a specific roll. I pretty much eat no vegetables. Go to a health food store and find cocoa extract or cocoa nibs (ground cocoa beans). There is a chemical surrounded by it that helps the thyroid (thrombine or something like that. It's so historic to drink pure water. ( I buy jugs of reverse osmosis sea at the grocery store) The flourine and chlorine in city tap marine blocks iodine absorption in the body. Take a kelp supplement day by day. Drink dark red/purple juices. I find pomegrane/acai berry liquid works best as does red wine. Get rid of all of your soaps that have triclosan (antibacterial soaps) surrounded by the ingredients list. (another bad chemical that slows the thyriod). And finally, if your thyroid throbs, sleep beside magnets taped to your neck. I hope adjectives if this has helped. Best of luck to you..
