Thank you for such a wonderful overview on such a complex topic.
Thank you so much this vedio...
Very well explained..thank you
Idont care
This is why I don’t go to endos for thyroid treatment. She doesn’t even mention natural desiccated thyroid!
I need this pdf
Thankyou for this I am waiting on test results to see if I have a overactive thyroid
How can one believe hyperthyroidism can be cured am permanently free with Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam herbs medications.
Thanks very much for the video....
i have tyroid nodules i AM negative of t3 and t4 but I haven't try for biopsy
Thanks for the information. I thought I might find something earth shaking here but unfortunately not. I am a very healthy 64 year old and all of a sudden my thyroid TSH numbers went to 60. Upper limit is 4. I was having medicals every 6 months and all before were fine. The endo put me on Euth 150 mg/day to get it inbounds again. I reduced that to 100 mg by adding kelp to my diet. I want to find a way to not take Euthyrox any more. Will adding iron and selenium improve the situation do you think? My idea is that everything is related to what I put in my body and these things just don't wear out like a shock absorber on a car. Regards
What about desiccated thyroid hormone? It is my understanding that the thyroid produces more than just T4 and T3 and these are in the desicated hormone but not in a synthetic. I had better relief from symptoms over synthroid.
I feel heat intolerance when my tsh is high.With decrease in tsh,I feel less body heat.When I was not taking medication then I was suffering from high sweating.When I started taking 150mcg throxine then sweating vanishes but I feel pain in my wrist.
First of all I want to know why no 3rd party companies are taking responsibility for destroying my thyroid and pituitary gland. Explain to me why there's a flood of auto-immune diseases of all sort?
Many thanks, I've been looking for "i think i have a thyroid problem" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Yannabarn Vanish Thyroid - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.
Thank you for the video. Can you tell me if TSH is .02 (Low) would it be a concern if T3 was 3.5 and T4 1.6 (Both normal). Synthroid is being taken daily. Thank you
This is called autoimmune disease also look Mexdema
Thank you for your information. I'm going to Urgent Care this morning because even though my lab tests said I am now hyperthyroid although I have been hypothyroid for over five years. My Dr. is too busy to call me for 12 days. I'm expecting a call July 4th so I know if I should be taking my hypothyroid compounded medication. I am taking nothing right now until I find out in a few hours. My legs are so weak and I have much to do.
I am amazed by effectiveness of the herbal medicine I got from #driyaremoses on TH-cam channel, in just two weeks of taking his herbal medicine am completely cured no more hypothyroidism
Mines is over active get blood work tommorow what causes this? and what can you do to make it better?
My Tsh is 1.400 and my T4 is 17.99 my doctors thinks it is normal but I do not feel well
Hi what will you say in regards to hyperthyroidism t3 is 19.7,serum ferritin-177-, all the fatigue and terrible symptoms has gone due to supplements taken for a month , do you still think I should take carbimazole as this gives terrible headaches also , do you think it can be related to hives that only occurs daily after eating ?and extreme rhinitis ? , lastly what is really the way forward with this malfunction of the thyroid system without surgery and radioactive treatment thanks kindly reply
Last week found out my TSH level was wayyy up. Prior to that I did tell my doctor that I get fatigued easily and that I'm having difficulties losing weight so came to find out my TSH is elevated. However my T3 and T4 were normal. So I'm lost. My doctor advised me to do a blood recheck in 3 months. What do I do in the meantime, no recommendation from my PCP. Any advice please?
Try juicing fresh garlic and green leafy foods until your visit. See if anything changes
What happens if thyroid level is higher than 16.7
Having low thyroid as a kid is hell the symptoms explain it all I have it and I hate it my doctor that is a specialist in thyroid she’s been doing it for 30yrs and she says when you are 16 there is a cure,
Does anyone experience weird head pressure/brain fog with hyperthyroidism? I’ve had this for months along with racing heart and palpitations, CT scan and MRI shower nothing and I’m wondering if it could be a thyroid issue
Hello! First, we are sorry to hear that you have been unwell and we imagine how frustrating is not to find a diagnosis. Yes, the symptoms that you experience could be related to thyroid. Did you take any thyroid test?
Let us know!!!!
I was diagnosed with super hyperthyroidism. I feel pressure both side of my head. Done with thyroid scan & uptake yesterday doctor give me ISOPTIN AND NEOMERCAZOLE. hope I will feel better soon with palpitations and shaking also
@@DrAdrianDrGiulia can I take herbal supplements while taking the isoptin & neomercazole?
@@mhayLabrador16 Hello. We hope that you will feel better as well.
Yes you can take some herbal treatments. That have been studies showing how people improved with Yingliu mixture. This herb helps also with autoimmune hyperthyroidism. Moreover, you could add as well add vitamin b, lemon balm and Bugleweed. Lastly, probiotics are also beneficial because the intestinal and thyroid problems are somehow connected.
If you have other doubts feel free to contact us :). Good luck with your new treatment, hope you will feel better soon.
You should look up Medical Medium on social media - he has answers for these
Can a mild enlargement of the thyroid will return to its normal size?
Hello. If treated well then yes.
Hope we fully answered your question.
I was diagnosed graves disease 2008 suddenly my right hand was shaked after blood test results doctor said I got graves disease !8 years I used antithyroid medication 300 mg a day ptu same dose almost 8 years my symptoms was anxiety ,low mood ,low libido and stress
antithyroid medication treatment maximum 2 years but ignorant doctor didn't say anything about medication side effects
inflammation was killing me and doctor ignored my high antibodies level
I had ministroke 2016 February and my thyroid level was going up after stroke still was going up
my tsh level was 0.01 my freet3 hormone level was 11.86 pmol \L (3.1-6.8)
What kind of food is best for people who have thyroid
How can one believe hyperthyroidism can be cured am permanently free with Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam herbs medications.
Doctor says I have hyperthyroidism and hyprothyroid. What is that call
I have all the symptoms of an underactive thyroid - male pattern baldness that is very advanced (I have to wear wigs), no eyebrows or eyelashes, very brittle nails, low body temperature, permanently hoarse voice, constant tiredness, sluggishness, extremely dry skin, easy weight gain - I have to starve myself as if I were to eat normally, I would be obese in no time. I have severe water retention, Vitiligo, and never had a menstrual cycle in my life. But because all blood tests show results that are just within the "normal" range - though definitely on the low side - doctors refuse to treat it and tell me "this is just normal for you"! Well, no, a young woman going bald with very defined male pattern baldness - ie bald temples, bald vertex, receding hairline - is NOT normal, Vitiligo is not normal, absent eyebrows and eyelashes is not normal, nor are any of the other symptoms!
My body temperature is 35 which is also NOT normal - doctors ignore this and simply refuse to believe me. If I get a fever and my temperature goes up to 37 - which for me indicates a high fever - they simply say "normal temperature" and therefore ignore any infections. This has at times been so bad that they wanted to send me home from hospital when I was dying of pneumonia - I had to kick up a fuss just to get admitted to hospital, and sure enough - within an hour I was in the ICU fighting for my life, with the nurses saying they thought I had come in to die!
I'm despairing because doctors won't treat this as long as the blood test results are officially within the "normal" range.
If your body temp is 36.5C or below you are not treated right. You could be low in iodine, try taking 5% iodine solution in a glass of water every day. A lot of people don't get well on synthetic T4 as they can't always convert this into T3, You could try adding in T3 one quatre a tablet every couple of days to see if temp goes up to normal, then stay on that dose. You should take selenium and zinc needed for hormone conversion. I bought T3 from Tiromel.net.
You should try going to see a holistic doctor as well as a holistic nutritionist (not a dietitian). You could probably find better answers by getting a different perspective. (Holistic doctors believe every part of your body and mind are connected and treat diseases accordingly)
Little Kitty I’m so sorry you’re going through that... you need to see a doctor that will help instead of ignoring all your symptoms
Educational yes thank you - solutions - i think there are others than the meds
could not agree more. Hope you are doing well
i cannotunderstand why my tyroid has a sound my vien from tyroid has beating
Autoimmune disease also look up Mexdema
I think the best solution is the education on how we can help treat the thyroid. There are many causes, primarily deficiencies that cause thyroid issues. Like if you have iodine deficiency or overdose, which people mainly have deficiencies, because we get our iodine primarily from food and salt intake in many countries is low... Iodine is also a halogen, so we probably want to use as little salt as possible or add as little iodine into the salt as possible. Luckily most salts come with iodine and without, so we can choose. Overdose of Iodine can cause hyperthyroidism, underdose Goiter and hypothyroidism....
Antibiotic thyroid medicine from Dr emuakhe on TH-cam from Africa vanished my thyroid case and haven't seen any reoccurrence to date, you're truly an epitome of good treatment.😊
I have low tsh and low t4, all just within the normal lab ranges. My primary says everything is perfectly fine but I don’t feel fine. They won’t evaluate it any further.
She doesn't explain mexdema, look it up cuz not all doctors explains this. ( coma )
I was diagnosed having: hyperthyroidism/ hypothyroidism, than Grave disease, the video is all wrong ( Mexdema autoimmune disease )
All thanks to dr moses on youtube channel for curing me from hyperthyroidism...... 💯
It's always better to take iodine in its natural form rather than taking iodine supplements in the form of iodised salt or any others. Using Rock salt or sea salt or crystal Salt is the best way to avoid any thyroid disorders. But any kind of salt should be preferably taken in very less amounts to avoid any health problems. Leafy green vegetables should be consumed daily in our diet.
Normal TSH but Elevated FT4 (0.4 from uppler limit). Is that possible?
Hello. Yes of course it is possible. Are you experiencing any symptoms? Let us know about you, we are happy to help you.
@@DrAdrianDrGiulia just my heart seems off bit. I am obese 1 so im wondering if that elevation affects my heart
Out of Office PH, well of course weight does affect your heart. However, we were thinking for your own privacy and to advice you better, to carry this conversation privately. What do you think? If you would like you could give us your email and we contact you. As you can understand it is difficult for us to help you if we do not ask specific questions and we do not know if you want to keep them private.
Let us know.
My ft4 is 26(4 more) but Tsh is normal. What should I do?
What a crock of crap. If you still have symptoms your doctor should do a full thyroid panel including t3, t4, free t3, free t4, reverse t's. Free t3 will show a lot. T3 is the energy and alertness and more. if t4's dont convert to t3 then you treat it this way. Tsh is suppressed when you take thyroid medication. NDT natural dessicated thyroid is either from pig or bovine. Pig is the closet to human thyroid than bovine. Go join a thyroid group on facebook and learn how to advocate for yourself through self education. Also, low and deficienct thyroid hormone can cause asthma to worse. Just google anything yo want to know.
Dr onyeneke on TH-cam is a blessing to my life he just cured my Hyperthyroidism. Just search Dr Onyeneke on TH-cam

I’m very discouraged to see young clinicians specializing in thyroid function adhering to archaic and rigid teachings. No, thyroid function is not only diagnosed or determined by lab tests! LISTEN to the patient!! LOOK at the patient! TREAT the patient NOT their lab work results!
No TSH is not the most important marker! I wish thyroid health was not treated under the specialty of Endocrinology! These specialists are mostly diabetic doctors. It’s a boring, unchallenging mindset specialty. They order labs, prescribe glucose monitors and meds based on blood sugar results. Patient self monitors daily care. But this specialty (as a group) shows little interest in new research on thyroid dysfunction or protocols. The doctor on video hinted but went right back to same old…same old…. She mentioned T3 meds BUT didn’t elaborate even slightly on WHY T3 may be a godsend to a suffering and desperate thyroid patient!
