HYPOTHYROIDISM...NATURAL Help please!

hi shelly im on vit d can you advise me on what else to take please

 

Hello Karen:

Most of us who have thyroid problems are low in Vit D.  Along with Vit D, you should take a very good multivitamin, (the best you can find),  that includes iron.  We also need to eat a good balanced diet so we can get minerals from food. Strawberries provide zinc and help the immune system.  Try and avoid fast food or ready made items, high carbs and salt in them.  Vegtables give us good vitamins if they are fresh.

I am glad you are on NDT, it is a much better and natural thyroid replacement.  Stay well, Shelly

Strawberries for Zinc! Wow, that's no problem, I didn't know that.

You should also eat Brazil nuts for Seleniium - a very necessary catalyst. But only eat 2-3 per day, they are very potent. Althouth you will throw up if you eat too many, a warning that you are overdoing it.

Thats what happens to me.

Dear LAH and all:

Strawberries now are usually available all year round in most places and if you or anyone has Diabetes, you can have 7 of them in a day. I agree the Brazil nuts are also good for Selenium.

hi shelly im on vit D from my doctor as it was to low.ive ordered the b12 oral spray boost .what is the best muti vitamin i can take as im new to all this and theres so many to choose from xkaren

thanks i love brazils and strawberries i use both these in my smothies,what fruit and veg should i avoid x

Hello  Karen:

I use a "women's" multivitamin. with iron and look at the label and see how much Vit D is in it. Most of them have 1000 IU of D in it. We need a bit more, when low. You can go to a store that sells vitamins and look at all the ones and see which one fits you the best.

Eating good food and balanced diet with vegtables will give you a source of vitamins and minerals. Stay away from junk food.

Hi karen I use a multivitamin called 'multivitality gold'. I have an intolerance to maize starch, aka corn/corn syrup etc and it's the basis of lots of other substances e.g. glycerol, so I'm limited what I can take. The advantage of this one is that it has a lot of the trace elements we need such as selenium. The disadvantage is that it only has 25% of the RDA for calcium. Due to allergies and intolerances I needed a very wide ranging multivitamin to compensate for me only being able to eat fresh meat, some fish, carrots, cabbage and broccoli. There is a myth around that we need to avoid brassicas such as cabbage and broccoli, but they are fine if they are cooked. Maize starch is also in all synthetic thyroid medications. Hence the reason I am funding my own NDT.

hi barbara how do we do temerture testing is this for adrenal for antibodies im lost with it all,ive been unwell for past couple months and all doctors pointed out my temp was low blood pressure on high side im now curious to why this is as ive always had normal temp and low blood pressure any ideas thanks. x   karen

Karen:

I know the feeling!  Been there-done that.  Keep getting well,  you could go to a shop where they sell supplements and ask for a good recommendation on one.  I just take a womens daily with iron and some extra D.

XO, Shelly

Many vitamin supplements are synthetic, which os the opposite of the direction she, or most of us, are trying to tale. There are whole food womens formulas that are food based instead.

Hello Leonica

This is good to know and exactly where to get them.  All I said was to consult a Viitamin shop and ask about ones to take. It is better to get it from diet, or natural ones.   I am in the USA and have no idea of stores that carry them in the UK.

Shelly

That's great but have your symptoms been alleviated? Too soon to know?

its only been 2 days so far but felling ok

 

hi dave 5h day and feeling much better hoping  this lasts
