Comment on Hypothyroidism Foods to Avoid by Terri

Hi Mita… You’ll need to speak with your medical provider regarding your medication since your doctor would know your particular health issues and whether or not you can stop your medication.

Hi I am 25 years old and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year with TSH values 111µIU/ml. I’ve been on thyroxine tablets since then, however I hadn’t been taking them for a month now. Now, I am intolerant to cold very, with severe headaches like sinus headaches and fall ill frequently. Could this be the TSH values going up again? Is there any way I can stop the medication?

I have been doing research on this method and am frankly a bit confused. Basically everything it covers is the same things I was taught when learning Reiki. Of course much was clarified that it was not in the ‘Reiki teachings” but we were still taught it as a ‘whole package” kind of thing. My teachers thought that all the same information was imperative to healing, and learning to heal.

That is the kind of answer I like to get. At least then I can research all the possibiities and see which one fits more. Or something like that..lol. I had been given so many different “lables” back in my “pre-diagnosed” days of lupus.
Remember when my leg was paralyzed and you so lovingly gave me a new nickname (gimpy)? You wouldn’t believe all the things they told me I had then!

So. How do you REALLY feel about your doctors??

I can think of a few times that my own doc has said something that made me suspect that he was saying that just to cover his ass. It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that there are many doctors who will lean to the most negative side of a diagnosis in order to make sure they’ve forewarned their patient just in case. The doctor I have now (not that I really have a primary care physician, so I should clarify that by saying: “the last doctor I saw”) will at least say, “I have no idea what the problem is,” rather than put any sort of label on it. So now I get the… it could be this or that or the other” kind of answers. Wait… is that even an ANSWER???

Comment on Do You Believe in Angels? by Cathi

As someone who is always talking to others about Angels, I find it amazing that many have an encounter, but don’t think they did because it was as subtle as just hearing a voice, like the above comments.

Well said! Isn’t it nice to know that even though we may not be able to “become” Angels we still have a great option to becoming Guides in a higher incarnation?

Comment on Is it Lupus or Fibromyalgia? by Cathi

Cathi — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:30:45 +0000

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement …“Look for the root, it is in the basics beginning with what is on your fork, what toxins are in your body, what exercise do you do, what stress is in your life, what is your spiritual base”.
As someone who has been dealing with Lupus for 30+ years and has had a lot of time to investigate and contemplate all the possibilities I have often wondered if this “overactive” immune system of mine is just doing it’s job. Afterall my immune system has attacked all my connective tissue, organs, etc., and isn’t that just where all the toxins are stored?
And as a side note: I think the only reason that I have been alive this long is because I haven’t paid homage to the Pharmaceutical Companies

This reminded me of a joke I once herad. The jist of it was that this preacher heard about a position coming up in his church and it meant a huge bump in pay. So he prays every night for it. He tells God that he really needs this position, and he has been a good and positive influence to the congregation, as well as a good role model. Pays all his tithes, donates to chaities, does charity work…etc., so he know he deserves it. Finally the day comes when they tell who got the position, and it wasn’t him. So then he says to God, “why not me?! You know I deserved it! I have been praying for weeks and You just ignored me!” To which God replies, “Well it would have helped if you had at least put in an application!”

A LOT of people tend to over cook their veggies, to the point where they’ve not only boiled out ALL possible nutrients, but now it no longer looks like something you would want to eat! Especially broccoli, for whatever reason. Instead of that beautiful dark green color it becomes a brownish green color. Maybe because they’ve boiled it to death.

Unfortunately, even small amounts of these foods will affect the conversion of T3 to T4….
Cooking vegetables is not hard if you steam them rather than soak away all the nutritients…overcooking is more the problem! The goal should be use the lowest amount of a medication to get the max benefit combined with dietary modification, such as avoiding raw versions of the above foods. The weight issue has a lot to do with the processing of food for shelf life stabilization and distribution. It’s not an easy situation to solve as cost leads to overprocessed food choices, but in effect, we are starving our bodies of nutrients.

The problem here is drugs go totally against nature you only have to look at what Hippocrates taught “let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. Interesting you have listed just the produce that a sufferer would want to eat and juice the help them cure HT. The thyroid may temporarily cleanse eating/juicing these foods raw but that is the idea if you want to get to the root of the thyroid problem Using them in small doses might be a better way to use them to rid yourself of the toxins slowly so the cleansing does not come on so strong. Cooking vegetables is also part of the problem as it destroys just what your body is looking for. You have to choose a direction, go with drugs for the rest of your life or go with nature as God intended and cure your disease. But choosing has become so difficult because the natural practitioners and their voice have been restricted so strongly in the United States despite freedom of speech and choice. Look around you it is obvious that we are in trouble we are the fattest country in the world now, 70% of us; that is a food problem. Paul

Comment on The Best Diet for YOU! by Jen

Medifast and Optifast were the initial weightloss liquid diets and come with side effects such as gallbladder disease. They are really meant for use in a limited time span and not as a way of life. Dieting is really about changing your lifestyle if you want to keep the weight off.
