The EPA that claimed mercury as a dangerous toxin (that causes autism in children and other ailments) was all dropped jawed when the FDA approved merucry as okay. The reason for the FDA's cowardice is legal since amalgam is used by dentists and people are afraid of lawsuits of after the fact disclosure of the dangers of muercyry. The FDA's been hijacked by corporate interests and is no longer a protective arm on behalf of the people it was created for. So whatever the FDA says, instantly disregard it!

I also have friends in my country have tried these products and it work wonder for them and had healed of their thyroid disorders. It seems it is good for almost all kind of thyroid diseases. No harm trying. I hope Oprah would have a look at this webpage and learn of natural chinese medicine, it may works for her as well. Wish her good health.

I have been dealing with Hypothyroidism for over 20 years and have finally found a physician who is willing to look beyond synthroid for healing. She has been switching me off synthroid and onto NATURAL THYROID, and she has me taking IODORAL (iodine), and she told me to go on a GLUTEN FREE DIET. I know about all the food to avoid and this is important too. She has just put me on DHEA as my testosterone is low. I am really excited because already I am reducing my thyroid medication and starting to feel so much better. I have more energy and am sleeping better. Interestingly, I have also researched and found that the Thyroid is metaphysically represented with feelings of being overwhlemed and also not being fast enough" in something. I definitely feel overwhelmed in my day and will be addressing this. I don't have a clue about the other statement, but as a Christian I will be praying for clarification so this can be healed spiritually as well. Blessings to all of you who are dealing with this, and I do pray for your healing.

Now 8 years in...it has been a blessing to find the doctors I have found that have guided me to all kinds of answers. It is truly a miracle body when given what it needs it does what it's suppose to do. We're all such intricate beings, with such diverse issues. Illness and dis-ease manifest in each body so differently, it's like a huge puzzle. Thank goodness I LOVE puzzles LOL. I too am on a natural progesterone cream I put on my face at night. I'm also on Homeopathic Remedies for a variety of things. I was muscle tested to the Bach remedy that best suits me ( this I find absolutely fascinating). I am currently using Medi Pads to clear/detox some of the energy meridians in my face that are linked to my digestion. Scars on the body interrupt the energy meridians due to the hardening of the scar tissue. When energy is blocked, healing cannot take place. I am on a iodine supplement, I've reduced my Armour by half ( was 180 mg a day and on 90 mg a day), take a trace mineral, fish oil, metagest for digestion, cherry juice for constipation,a green tea extract thingy that tastes HORRIBLE but I mix it in with my MonaVie so I don't gag LOL...and a Natural Mouthwash that has been beneficial for cutting bacteria growth in my mouth. I will have my fillings out, I just have to make the appointment. In this book, The Autoimmune Epidemic, I am reading about the immune response. The fillings are a constant DRAW on my immune system, thus causing everything else to have a draw on it...if the immune system is constantly working on the mercury then when there are other issues in the body, it's not going to be able to cover all the bases. The immune system over time gets worn out. In the book they mention how EVERYTHING now causes free radicals in our bodies, which then cause cellular damage and leads to illness dis-ease and body breakdown. From the food we eat, to the air we breath to the supplements we take and the water we drink. The book also GIVES solutions...and a diet that all autoimmune people should be on and anyone wanting to avoid an autoimmune diagnosis. Just rambling on a rainy morning here in Missouri. Thanks to everyone here for sharing... Life is good, finally. I feel great, I've lost 10 pounds since Nov. and I have the energy again that I use to have to be able to do the things I want to do of a day. YIPPY!!!! :-) It takes time, and patience, but the body can heal. Be well everyone, Amy MSLC HI Becky,

I would be interested to know how you get on with your heavy metal tests. I am due to be re-tested in a couple of weeks so it will be interesting to see the results after taking the modifilan. I beleive i have improved a lot since taking this. I am 38 and my hair was starting to go grey a lot. I have totally got my hair colour back without any more greys which I attribute to the modifilan. I have more energy and better memory, also due to some good vitamins that i have been taking. I also agree with your comments on stress and I attribute the life i was living in my early 20's, long hours , poor nutrition, stressful job etc. all lead to a break down in my endocrine system. I also, if it helps anyone else have noticed a big difference from taking a natural compound progesterone cream. This has helped my energy levels a lot. I also take an adrenal formula as last test, along with low thyroid i also had extremely high cortisol levels. Another thing that i occasionally take when i am feeling stressed is L-tryptophan. This stuff is amazing, it calms me down instantly and promotes a feeling of well being and confidence. Is also is good for concentration. I beleive that hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are linked. Although most of the time I am hypo, I have had stages where i am hyper. I discussed this with my specialist and he agrees that this is quite common. In summary after 11 years of hell after taking the above supplements and following a good nutritional diet, I have cleared up just about all my symptoms inluding depression, brain fog, shocking memory(am still working on this), anger, irritibility , stress, weight gain,aching muscles and most of all exhaustion. I will continue to work on cleaning out the heavy metals from my system and continue with good nutrition and I am looking forward to having the next heavy metal test (although they say it takes at least a year to significantly decrease.) I also am interested to see how my next thyroid test shows up. Love hearing the feedback on what you've been taking Cheryl. Please keep me udated and also on the heavy metal. Glad your feeling better Amy after your fillings have been removed. I had mine done a few years back. Thanks again for sharing your stories.

There are pages upon pages about the WHY, and pages about how we can correct what's gone wrong, and more pages about mercury poisoning. ALSO go to Mercout.com and get a heavy metal test for mercury. That's how I first tested for mercury. It's a simple urine test you do at home, send it in, doctors read results and send back to you via e-mail. I had high levels at that time. I started on the juice, had a hair analysis ( which tested for 33 things) after that and my levels are now at "trace amounts". The sterified fatty acids in this juice is what my Naturopath said is helping me detox. Since then I've decided to have my fillings out, and have found a dentist who does it strictly to CODE and regulations...here in Missouri. I am feeling fantastic. Just can't believe the change in just 4 months. I'm doing a lot of different things..or doing a lot of things differently. ;-) I'm still learning...and this book has shed so much light on why I am sick/was sick.

I think this forum is really important because dealing with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism is quite an ordeal! From the comments here, many people have suffered for years like myself. Since my last post, I have been taking bugleweed, lemon balm (melissa leaf)and motherwort compound. These natural herbs are for HYPERthyroidism and the changes are quite significant. Anxiety - Gone. Occasional Trembling - Gone. Short Attention Span - Gone. Exhaustion - Going slowly. Depressed Feeling - Going. Hardened lumps under skin(symptom of hyperthyroidism) - going very slowly. Breathing - Getting Better. Aches And Pains - Still there but less. Chronic thinness - CHANGING and I'm gaining weight! Becky, I noticed you said you were on modifilan for metal detoxing. I believe that I may also have high levels of metals in my body and am arranging a hair analysis test. Eating healthy, organic foods is extremely important. I believe there are many illnesses out there including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism that are due to toxic foods and substances. Flouride and other chemicals cause thyroid problems. More importantly, I'm convinced that both of these disorders develop from stress. Thanks again...

Thought i was the only one that went through this, thought i was going crazy, snappy , absolutely exhausted. I am on some fantastic vitamin and amino acids for mood and energy by a company called extend life, made a massive difference. Also had a hair analysis and have very high levels of heavy metal. There is a lot of research that heavy metals are linked to thyroid disorders so am in the process of detoxing through raw foods and a natural heavy metal detoxer called modifilan. I take this on alternatite days as this can make me feel weak as it is pulling out metals. Am confident that i am on the mend and believe that this can be total reversed through good nutrition... Good luck to you in your healing!! Thanks Cheryl for you post, my symptoms are identical , i went through everything you did for 11 years.

I too believe there is a connection between all parts of us, body, mind and spirit. The longer I am off gluten the better I feel. I recommend to everyone to get off of it...the reason is two fold..for one there is NO dietary reason to eat it for anyone ( and it won't hurt you in the least if you don't ever eat it again) and two it causes you to eat a more FRESH healthy diet...because a lot of what we eat WITH gluten is not so good...but I don't think people really understand the physical impact that gluten has on the INSIDE of our bodies. OVER TIME it is devastating! The longer I'm alive the more I KNOW food is HUGE with regards to our health. And the way in which food is grown in the United States is actually really scary if you ask me. Ever see the DVD The Future of Food? watch that and we'll talk :-) Have a great evening. ~Amy~ MSLC Great Post Gina, I am looking into Donna Gates stuff tonight.
