Vitamin K advice please.
After testing Vit D and B12 deficient earlier this year, I have had loading dose of vit D as well as B12. I have added selenium and B complex, but no mention was made of vit K. I have done some reading about vit K and wondered if anyone can advise me if I can take this as I am also on Clopidogrel after

Get to normal
This is my first posting. I have been on a combination of t4 100 mcg t3 20mcg and 200 mcg of selenium now for 6 months. My blood work has improved but not much in the normal range. T4 total 5 (4.5-11.7) t3 total 1.2 (.9-1.8), t4free 1.1(.6-1.6) TSH.03 (.34-5.6). Any suggestions as to how to increase

Hello, This is the first time I've posted a question to the community. I would be very grateful for this community's huge wisdom especially as I am managing some tricky health conditions. I was diagnosed hypo-thyroid with Hashimotos when I was14 but only given thyroxine about 7 years ago. I'm now

Update on thyroid results and advice on hair loss
I really want to get a handle on this, if there is indeed a thyroid problem that is causing hair loss. Never had hair loss until after menopause. My TSH and T4 numbers from seven years ago until I started measuring the full panel in the last three years always hovered around TSH 1-2 and T4 1. Before

Self Injecting B12
Hi My B12 is always low unless I supplement. I am so sick of taking so many pills every day to assist in my health upkeep. I have Hashimoto’s which had advanced enough to cause Primary Hypothyroidism. I also have Coeliac Disease but this is well controlled with a strict Gluten Free Diet. Does anyone

Brownstein book "iodine why you need it why you can't do without it"
Just read it now. Some very sobering facts - they are summarised over the web so anyone interested can google. I am taking solgar 200mcg sea kelp daily for past 2 weeks and feel incredibly positive about sticking with this. I do take it with plenty sea salt and 200 mcg selenium. I will retest my bloods

Full of questions?
Do you get a flu shot? And how does it affect you and your thyroid? Also curious what everyone thinks of taking iodine supplements and selenium. And one last one, what's your thoughts on fluoride treatment from dentist? I was on Synthroid for over 30 years...never really ever felt good...but never knew

Below normal T3 - minerals
Showed GP my private Thyroid results. TSH and Free T4 normal but I'm concerned T3 is 2.4 (3.1 - 6.8) I know we need T4 to make T3 but I have restless legs (they think) and Raynauds and shocks to body/burning sensation hands/feet and muscle spasms. Basal temp 35.6 av. and pulse less than 60, even 52 p.minute
