I hope he's monitoring you because a couple of months ago when you posted your results you serum iron was 124 with a range of 45-160mcg so when taking iron tablets it's important to monitor regularly.
May I chime in here...I have a friend who started drinking natural goats milk directly from the dairy and she has been in a remission state from Hoshimoto"s disease. There is something in the fresh straight from the farm goats milk that sustains some kind of a deficiency with those that have this disease. It sounds silly but I have since heard many success stories. The downfall of the milk if youre able to find it, it does have a high fat contact so adding an extra walk to keep weight manageable would be helpful
Simple support method...The vitamin D factor must play heavily in this idea.
If the people in this story actually exist and they found a magic cure all, then thats great for them. i thought you said you d seen this yourself. Apologies if Im misundrrstanding
Through out the years on a daily basis I am advising people and I am getting satisfactory results
Nothing works for everyone the same depending on many factors from genetics to the type of disease to the severity and as well the consistency and general lifestyle emotionally and physically of the individual
I only have heard positive results from the goat's milk
Thanks, I walk daily, do tai chi and excercise. Interesting about goat milk, worth a try if I can find it! BTW, is your friend off meds now? Did she tell her Dr about goats milk?
get your GOP to test your bloods for vitamins and minerals quite often, because the thing is with Hashimoto's is that you absorb them less easily even if you have a good diet, and you might be short of anything. I am low on iron at the moment, and though I have been long term veggie, am eating a lot of chicken livers to get it higher. Really food is always better than taking pills. I may take some iron pills too.Julia WM
After 15 yrs of my “top” Uni prof. endocrinologist shutting down my thyroid to stop my immune system from attacking it (Hashimoto), I started researching and found a natural or functional doctor. I had changed to 10000 IUs Vit D daily on my own and got my vit d levels up to 35.
According to newest studies, anything under 60 is a deficite, despite the “normal range” being 20-100. I live in Austria. He subscribed 20,000 IUs daily for 5 weeks, got my Vit D up to 70 and then put me on 40,000 Weekly and 60,000 once per month. At the same time, I raised my selenium, which was almost non existent. I do take excellent supplement, nothing synthetic!!, including a B complex, C, CoQ10.
At the same time as these changes, I changed from synthetic hormone to Thyroid (bioidentical thyroid hormone from swine). I have been able to reduce 60-% of my I take. My thyroid is working again and feel great. I get things checked monthly, since I also have blood cancer. It was the cancer that got me changing my lifestyle, health, etc. I haven’t get this good in 15 years. I’m also on the autoimmune paleo diet, she’d of 20 slowly, and take a tablespoon of high quality salmon oil to reduce inflammation in my body. Organic food is also extremely important!!!
I am anemic since birth (no iron deficiency here, but hereditary). If you’re missing iron, best thing to do is eat black olives and liver. To get my RBCs up, I eat one small organic liver steak (must be- liver filters everything from the animal!!!) per week. Better than supplements.
There’s so much we can do to reset our system. Hope to have helped. Anag
Thanks. After I stopped eating meat for years, have started to eat meat again to bring my iron level up. Yesterday I cooked, chicken liver, must say I found it very hard to eat to the point of being nauseous, looking at the liver blood etc. I managed to eat some after spicing it up!
I’m glad you’re eating meat. I am aware of the horrific meat industry situation. I buy from a small farmer, where the animal are happy and free of all toxins. It is the right thing to do. It’s not necessary to eat much meat, but once a week is good. Unfortunately, here in Austria, the population are the biggest meat eaters in Europe. Terrible. And unhealthy.
Chicken liver is not as bloody as beef and it tastes milder. I am greek and we just lightly sautéed the liver in a pan with olive oil and then add some lemon and oregano. The lemon cuts the taste and makes it easier to digest. If you cook it too much, the taste and smell get strong.
Keep your finger away from Pure vitamins. They were bought by Nestlé 2 years ago and what they now contain cannot be trusted. They are anything else but Pure. My daughter and I both got poisoning from the Pure B6. Numbness in the hands. One of my doctors told me she has stopped prescribing Pure. They have a sensational marketing, that is all. It used to be a great company. Not any more.
i cannot process vitamin D the endo doc said although i live in very hot sunny country. I take vitamin D every night and every now and again some multivitamins.... the lack of vitamin D seems to make me mega tired. I am still as dappy as the day is long my husband just looks at me in horror quite regually at my thickness,and we wont go into my forgetfulness, although i consider myself reasonable intelligent back in the day
