Radioactive Iodine 1990 - Recovering 2022 (How?)

I want to sincerely thank the amazing moderators who generously give their time to this forum,

In particular, whoever posted the link to the 'endocrine reports from the front line' on Springer.com, (in December last year). Please message me so I can thank you personally for the journey you began!.

In January, I was taking 2.5 grains of Armour in the mornings, with extra Uni-Pharma T3 in the evening and I was feeling that the pain of life was becoming too much for me to bear.

It's been years since I have prayed in earnest but I had some serious conversations with God. How could I be effective in any way if constantly an invalid myself. I wasn't in good place physically or mentally and my further existence seemed without any purpose.

At that time I wrote something in defence of a homeopathist, who was being debunked on a public forum. Our Queen has a homeopathic doctor, I was also certain that my local pharmacy would not be giving a large amount of their limited shelving space to a large 'Nelson's' display if it were not effective.

This lovely homeopathist and I began to chat by private messaging .

On the day that I was dismayed to learn how pigs have been Genetically Modified, (Do you know?), I shared my despair with her. (Did anyone bother to test how the gene change affected the piggy thyroid). She surprised me by posting me a homeopathic remedy called Thyroidinum (6c), with instructions to carry on with my normal tablets and 'chew one a day to see if it makes any difference'.

After about a month, I was surprised to realise that I hadn't topped up with any evening T3 for days. A few weeks on and I started to feel a bit hyper, so I cut the half grain....and so it has slowly gone on, every few weeks a little less. I've been on half a grain, every other day, for the last couple of weeks but haven't had any for three days now.

I am feeling well, temperature normal, bowels regular every morning. I am feeling absolutely blessed.

I cannot say that homeopathy alone has been my miracle cure. I cannot say if it will even last? I'm praying it does!

When I began the homeopathic remedy, I also began the World Council for Health Detox Diet. I am certain that it also helped me health wise.

I truly believe that I felt a distinct shift, within an hour of my first Pine Needle tea! (I've since discovered that the pineal gland is so named because it resembles a little pine tree- a seemingly amazing whole food signature)

I learned that Glyphosate is sprayed on sugar beet to increase the yield and so cut out absolutely everything with sugar. Honey my only sweetener. I also cut out all grains apart from organic oats, which has genuinely been a considerable challenge for me.

I take one large (or two small) cloves of raw organic garlic every day. Not so bad, I chop, cover with honey or liposomal vitamin C (so I don't taste it) spoon it to the back and swallow it down quickly with a drink. I understand it's antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-carcinogenic, cardioprotective and immune boosting!

I take N-Acetyl Cysteine, which is said to help production of our body's own antioxidant, Glutathione, which can decline with age

I purchased a Home Water Distiller. Now I have seen (and smelled) the yellow oily residue left from distilling just 4 litres of tap water, I no longer soak in the bath and a whole system filter is high on my wish-list.

The little Armour aside, I've stopped every source of Stearate and Stearic Acid, which was costly. I threw out loads of supplements with these toxins, which are believed by some doctors, to accumulate in the body and interfere with gut absorption

I stopped using toothpaste, therefore no longer sublingually ingest any fluoride or chemicals. I have tried most alternatives recommended, settled on Coconut Oil with a little Bicarbonate of Soda. I make herbal mouthwash with distilled water, Rosemary and Star Anise

I apply D3/K2 topically and soak my feet (or whole self) in Epsom Salts for magnesium.

I'm not sure what I've done right. The only thing I am sure of, is how very grateful I am today, to be feeling as well as I do.

Are you saying that you've had your thyroid destroyed by RAI, and now you have stopped all thyroid hormone replacement? Do you know that you cannot live without thyroid hormones, they are essential for life? It will take a while for all the thyroid hormone to leave your system, but what do you think is going to happen when it does?

Once in a blue moon I read something on this site and think WOW! I am very impressed by your progress and have noted what you have taken. However as greygoose pointed out without a thyroid you can't live. I too am curious that you have had radio active iodine. I had it too in 2003 after thyroid cancer and a complete removal of thyroid.

Was your gland surgically removed Margo? Mine was supposedly 'killed off' although Dr. P who has since retired from Westminster Hospital, told me that the intention was only to stop the gland being overactive, I was warned that it could stop function completely, as the 'dose' of RAI was difficult to assess (back then anyway).

Yes abirose.

I read some of your posts Margo. We live surrounded by carcinogens, many of which we are not aware. I'm retired, businesses ruined by lockdowns and nothing better to do this year, than to research relentlessly. I didn't overhaul my life hoping to heal my thyroid. I did it in the throes of a cancer scare.

I've had the wireless turned off, have shielded the electricity 'smart' meter which has been pulsing more than 8 GHz into my home for the last seven years and have protected my mind from the numbing effects of constant bad news, by turning off the TV at the start of the year.

I'm writing this with my newly manicured nails and I'll be sad to see the end of the pretty pink but I've only just learned from a health seminar this weekend, that nail polish is a big no-no.

As apparently is turning on the dish washer and letting it run when using the kitchen. It's water tight but not air tight and can give off toxins into the surrounding atmosphere (which we then inhale) from the chemicals we put in to clean the dishes.

So every day this year, a little older and a lot wiser.

I also learned, only this weekend, that when we engage our brains in the active process of learning something new, we produce more dopamine!

It's too late to save your thyroid Margo, but it's never too late to educate yourself, to protect your health and those glands which are still functioning well

I've tried to include everything but forgot, I bought organic grapefruits (hard to find) and lemons and used the peel to make home-made quinine, about three months ago, it made two pints, so I froze some. It lasted a few weeks and haven't repeated the process. Already I was feeling better before I did this.

I'm also taking a very small amount (one spray under tongue/five sprays being the recommended dose) of Melatonin based 'sleep aid' to help me sleep better, and can get 6 or 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep, without waking up to pee every few hours.
