My Health Guru talking about Auto immune disease, Adrenals, Hashimoto's, Graves, Thyroid removal. I consider him The Best Doctor in the world. Functional Medicine - nothing is isolated in the body.

I fully recovered from Hashimoto's in the Autumn of 2017.

Thanks for posting and I feel sorry for people who've had their thyroid gland removed and then, more or less, left to get on with life even though they feel awful and told their blood tests are 'normal'.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. I am frustrated !!!! Chronically ill folk have to start trusting a doctor who talks sensibly. Sorry about my Rant.

Couldn't agree more marigold ~ I love him too ~ a breath of fresh air in a stale and corrupt system! EVERYONE should watch his vids before they make any decisions on their health! I have been desperately spreading his word and trying (forcibly, on occasion lol!) to get friends and family to watch them. It's the common sense that you always thought was right, but gets dismissed by so called 'knowledgable' medical professionals (vaccinations etc.) causing you to mistrust your better judgement in place of big pharma poisons. He presents it in such a way that even the most sceptical couldn't in any serious way, dismiss it ~ as he says "eat my references!" Lol! LOVE IT! Pity GPs aren't forced to watch them as part of their somewhat lengthy and irrelevant training ~ although I'm sure the £££ would still sway them! Such a shame our health system has been corrupted in this way ~ I really don't know how they sleep at night. I think Dr Bergman probably sleeps VERY well ~ there's a special place in HEAVEN for him!

I hope you had a lovely Xmas marigold and sending you warmest wishes for a peaceful and healthy New Year xxx

Mamapea1 Shall I post those Videos by Dr John Bergman covering - Auto immune disease, Adrenals, Hashimoto's, Graves, Thyroid removal - every day for one week? Perhaps more forum readers will see it ? X

Marigold ~ the more the merrier! Why not? If only ONE member sees it that otherwise would have missed it, then in my opinion it would be worthwhile. I am eternally grateful to members for linking me to Dr Bergman, Dr Lowe and others ~ it has changed my life and given me priceless information to pass on to my children and others. Dr Bergman's knowledge is a wonderful gift to pass on to others, especially when they are suffering at the hands of unscrupulous Drs and big pharma. :0(

I am glad you have found a way to recover your health ~ I am still working towards that end, and with a long term non functioning thyroid, I will have to find effective meds ~ T3 or NDT ~ whatever works ~ as long as it's not b****y Levo , which is slowly killing me! I have given up gluten and have improved Vit /mineral levels so things have improved for me. I hope your health stays improved after your long, stressful battle ~ I think we (members) must be made of strong stuff to put up with it all! Post away ~ I may even find one I haven't watched yet, as happened recently when Heloise posted ~ only good can come of it! xx

Do you mean that you do not thyroid hormone replacement?

marigold22 profile image
marigold22

In fact Naomi8 No I don't take thyroid hormone replacement any more. I have not shouted it from the rooftops as naysayers would laugh at me on here. If they cannot even acknowledge gracefully that I had to cut out ALL grains to heal completely, then how on earth will they be able to get their brain around me not taking any thyroid hormone replacement any more. :-)

I was allergic / not able to convert T4 into T3 - or something - so needed T3. Fighting to keep it, getting angry with GP, endo, etc was making me even more ill. Through the spring and summer of 2017, when the fiasco over de-prescription of T3 (liothyronine) was happening, I literally could not breathe. That was stress and deep anxiety. So I consulted with a Homeopath... Yes a Homeopath. He Cloned a T3 tablet of mine, and yes, I do not take thyroid hormone any more.

(However - IF Dr John Bergman is listened to and followed, it is clear that if his lessons are carried out, I'm sure anyone could drop thyroid hormone.)

BUT I was absolutely desperate to get my health back after 36 years of complete and utter Shyte. So I trusted my Homeopath. It took about 6 weeks to heal. But I had to trust him.

As I said above, You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. If God wishes a person to know something, He will put it in front of them. It is their choice whether they carry forward with it - or Not.

Dr John Bergman. Dr John Bergman. Dr John Bergman.

In his videos, he explains Everything

About your homeopath, what do you mean by "he cloned a T3 tablet"? Did he make a homeopathic remedy out of your T3 tablet?

Yes

Thank you for your reply,Marigold22.My friend,a trained homeopath, has mentioned cloning thyroid replacement medication to me.Fascinating!I had an aquaintance who was going more & more overactive.A homeopath stopped the process in its tracks.Amazing.Another friend had a long standing ulcer & didn't want to take the massive doses of antibiotics now prescribed.Homeopathy cured her.I avoided a hysterectomy in my 40s,thanks to the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital's gynecologist.

Naomi8 Homeopaths it seems are 'hidden'. They do not shout out loudly like the NHS doctors or the Big Pharmas. The royal family, well particularly the Queen, Prince Philip, the Queen Mother & Charles, certainly use(d) it and look at the ages they live to. Interesting that Your friend a homeopath has mentioned exactly the same as mine does. I had wondered if perhaps mine had had some 'special training', but it seems not... just run of the mill homeopathy. I feel extremely blessed now; but as I have said here I now have to get the dosh in.

My own main and urgent task now that I'm healed, is to try to find a way of 'getting a house', having been in rented for 11 years. My millionaire landlord continually increases my rent, which I cannot afford. I will have to muster every single brain cell now, and write a book, or think up some way I can - 1) have an income, 2) get some capital together to buy a house. I'm 66 years old now, I feel like I'm a 30 year old starting out. Time is very limited to get a reasonably comfortable life like I used to have in my 20's - I don't want rich, I want reasonably comfortable with no stress.

I too have been plunged into relative poverty by the incompetent medical system, compounded by an equally unscrupulous ex husband, who managed to steal what little savings I had left and abscond to Australia! The 'perfect' husband and father for 25 years, then met really young girl, remortgaged my house (3 times) by forging my signature, cleaned out all bank accounts and disappeared! Court case was pointless and cost a fortune, I had a nervous breakdown (I found out he had done other, serious things) and my poor children (I still had 3 at home) were left devastated and incredulous, as was I.

This allowed my GP to blame ALL symptoms on 'stress' and ply me with more useless prescriptions than any human could possibly consume, even though I had the symptoms for years before, and she was fully aware that I had been paralysed for 3 years following vaccine damage (oral polio), which had completely destroyed my thyroid.

She has continuously kept me ill, refusing to accept thyroid symptoms as a cause for my ill health. I very nearly killed myself trying to work as we were left with nothing, and for the first time in my life, I owed so much money that I could not see a way out of my husbands debts. I had a high mortgage on a house I had already paid for, and was so ill.

Family rallied round, and somehow I managed to hang onto the house, although it remains a constant stress to me, and is falling into disrepair. I now owe the same amount that I paid for it in 1982! I was so afraid, though of being at the mercy of these despicable millionaire landlords that you are having to contend with. I think it's disgusting how they are allowed to up the rent at will, and others will take rent for inhabitable, mouldy dwellings.

I also just want to be comfortable with no stress, and not having worked for a few years because of deteriorating health, I have also toyed with the idea of writing a book. I used to do sewing ~ alterations, dressmaking, re upholstery, as it was something I could do at home, when I became too unreliable for my employers, but even that evades me now. As soon as you slip down the ranks in society, for whatever reason, it is so hard to claw your way back.

I wish you success in whatever you decide to do marigold ~ and I'm sure there's a special place in hell for your landlord! Lol! xx

Another member here told me her rental has a constantly wet wall and carpet. It is so terrible because it will never allow her to be well. How did we make this world such an evil place?

Thanks Mamapea1 . It's now 01:55hours, and I have just cleared up after re-training myself in art, all on my own, with no help from anyone. Will have to try and sell some I guess.

I too was ripped off by 2 ex husbands.... Boy have I learnt not to go near a man again :-) In fact, a sad indictment of society, I actually bought two fake wedding rings & a fake diamond ring off ebay to pretend I've got a 'man on board'. I have said this on another forum on HU - think it was Mental Health Support, that horrible people seems to be able to sniff out a vulnerable woman. Big hugs x

I saw the Winston Churchill movie, "Darkest Hour" tonight. It's going to win massive awards and hopefully Gary Oldman will as well. What strong heroism the English showed during those times.

Mamapea1 & Marigold22-I am in awe of your strength & resilience.You have been tried & tested beyond what many have to endure.What a waste that those qualities struggle to find recognition & financial reward after your trials.

Wow, marigold and Mamapea1, no wonder you both became ill. Did you both marry Americans by chance? No, I guess there are rats everywhere. It's very easy to be deceived so I hope you don't blame yourselves.

I like the idea of posting Dr. Bergman each day because I also wonder how many people are going to find them when there are so many posts each day. Of course, your followers will be able to see the notice. I'm sure I've posted them hundreds of times by now.

It's too bad you, two, can't get together some way.

Also marigold, I've used homeopathy myself and do believe in it. How did you find this fellow and sounds brilliant. Do you think he could help others? I now think we have to use discretion about broadcasting names as this goes all over the internet. Maybe you should delete your personal posts as a matter of fact.

Anyway I appreciate you both and hope things will look up in the future.

marigold22 profile image
marigold22 in reply to Heloise

No they weren't Americans! I was chronically ill when I met the second one and was badly deceived & my brain wasn't functioning at all. My own homeopath is just one mile from me, it seems the vast majority are all trained in the same way.

I don't think I have broadcast names? You say: I now think we have to use discretion about broadcasting names as this goes all over the internet. Maybe you should delete your personal posts as a matter of fact. I don't understand what you mean. I don;t think I have broadcast any names apart from Dr John Bergman who is a brilliant Functional Medicine doctor in the USA. Delete personal posts ? My real name isn't marigold!! it's common knowledge that I hate 2 ex husbands, no secrets there!!

Heloise profile image
Heloise in reply to marigold22

I meant the name of your homeopath. Maybe I'm being overly cautious. I was reading about the deaths of 79 alternative healers, very suspicious and some were not that old. This is a running story for months. I actually worry about Bergman but he wants to be known. It would be great to let others know about your homeopath, maybe you'll get requests by private message.

Also, one day I was shocked to see one of my posts when I googled something. When you post and allow "everyone" to see it, it is out there. I realize we don't use our names but actually Marigold would be a lovely one.

marigold22 in reply to Heloise

Heloise As far as I know, I haven't written my Homeopath's name.... I have in fact kept him secret, being scared I would be laughed off the forum for even daring to see a homeopath. I would not say his name publicly. I have only talked about Dr John Bergman, whose videos and Youtubes are there for everyone to see and he wants to be found. Sorry but you are confusing me !

P S Just me being pedantic but you asked : " How did you find this fellow and sounds brilliant." I did not reply on that question, as it would have led to him. !!!

Yes, Mama and marigold, I'd hate to know the percentage of sociopaths out there, it would probably surprise us and as much as I feel I have a keen BS monitor I'm sure I could be fooled. I guess we'll conclude "don't trust anyone"? Better yet "don't NEED to trust anyone". hmmmm, so no eating out, or no eating at all, no flying, no purchases of any kind, no internet use, lol. Yes, that's not going to work.
