      Just thought I would add this FYI. After much research I found it to be my gallbladder was compacted with fat stones as well as my liver. One day my blood preassure was 73/27. I could have died. I did not want my gallbladder removed and if I had gone to the emergency room I would have next been sent to the opperating table. Instead I did a liver and gallbaladder flush 3,000 stones came out in my first flush and my blood preassure went up. It was not yet normal but it gained 20/20. After approx. 3 to 4 flushes BP was almost normal. After 7 flushes it was back to normal and now I'm on my 9th flush over the past year. So mine was caused by a fatty liver/gallbladder from eating too many carbs such as breads, chips, crackers, beer and cookies. Sugar also helped this. Also note I never gained weight. I'm 51 and lok 35 and athletic build. I hope this helps somebody out there.

He may explain more than others, but if his information was valid other doctors would be sharing that with patients too.

    I thought you might be interested in my story. I had most of my thyroid removed at age 11 due to hyperthyroid. Longtime allergies as a child. Leaky gut for sure (I was adopted and bottle feed). Anyway, they left a little piece in and in my twenties, I did a macrobiotic diet which contains a lot of sea veggies and fermented miso, which I consumed daily for years. By the age of 30, I went from possibly having Hashimotos to having grown the thyroid back. That was confirmed by an ultrasound in my thirties when it was functioning normally. I’ve had issues over the years off and on depending on diet and lifestyle. Certain herbs, supplements and foods have been helpful and those have changed with age. Treating my microbiome with pre and probiotic foods has been key as well. Anyway, not everyday you hear about an organ regrowing (from a small bit that was left in), but here I am. Thanks for your very helpful videos.

      Klej Lf seaweed stimulates thyroid function so it feeds the gland. I ate a bit every day when eating according to macrobiotics . Also, miso soup pretty much everyday like they do in Japan. That heals the gut lining which is essential in healing any chronic illness. They rest of diet was whole grains, beans, legumes, and veggies and some fermented pickles too. All whole organic food as much as possible. It’s also crucial to filter the fluoride and chlorine out of your water. A big Berkeley is the best in my opinion.

    My TSH was 0.095 in Dec, 74 in May, 17 in July and 29 in August. Because my T4 is normal, my dosage of 150mcg hasn't been changed. I have been on meds for Hypo for 21 years (I'm 43 now). I HATE the heat and LOVE the cold. I have symptoms of hyper and hypo. I am miserable with fatigue and joint/muscle pain and pounding heart. I feel like no matter what I eat, it's wrong.

    I never had thyroid issues until I had to get radioactive iodine injected into me for an epidural cortisone injection for a herniated disc. I immediately had a reaction the second the procedure was over and my vitals all dropped. BP was 65/40 and heart rate was in the 30’s and I was covered in hives. About 1 month after that I started feeling a lump in my throat like when you’re trying not to cry during a movie. They had me do a CTscan and found a nodule on the right side. I’m convinced the iodine they injected caused this and now I’ve been dealing with bad fatigue as well as esophagus inflammation which I’m guessing is from stomach acid. Worst part is that the procedure for my herniated disc didn’t even help. I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t even trust a regular doctor anymore. But I’m not having much luck fixing my issues on my own either. 😣

    When our understandings change, there is very naturally a lag time. Currently we are changing our understandings about how the body works when symptoms are not masked. The last century gave the medical professionals the ability to mask any symptoms that were indicators of imbalances. Some of us are now interpreting the symptoms and correcting the problem. This is very empowering. Thank you.

    I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease at 26. Took tapazole to suppress the gland and once it was “asleep” I began synthroid and took both concurrently for about a year. At that time I was taken off both and my glad was supposed to “re-set” itself. Had labs done every 6 months and levels were normal. First symptom I noticed was feeling jittery and nervous. I was always hot. When hot water from the tap poured over my hands my heart would skip beats! It was bizarre. Doc initially misdiagnosed me. I also had fast heart beat, insomnia, severe fatigue and despite eating normally with a great appetite I stayed very thin. It was terrible for several months. Once on the meds I felt so much better. I was told if my gland didn’t reset I would have to have radioactive iodine or surgery. I know several people who have been diagnosed with their cancer and some that have hashimotos or graves. Oh and I was also prescribed a beta blocker called tenormin to slow my heart rate. I remember carrying heavy bags up a flight of stairs and my heart was barely beating. It was weird. I would describe Graves’ disease as having your internal thermostat turned up to “high” and every function of your body was turned up several notches and was FAST. Strange feeling and the anxiety was bad. Like you’ve had 6 cups of coffee but feeling that way 24/7. No fun at all. And it is exhausting. You have no energy because you can’t sleep and you’re dragging through the day. It’s awful.
