Anyway, I wanted to share with you my experiences with thyroid disease. My life was pure hell for five years, and I became a very sick person. I just wanted to find a doctor who could find the perfect dose of thyroid med, who could get me on the perfect medication, who could cure me. I didn't read which type you have, but I have Hashimoto's. My husband started living "The Primal Blueprint lifestyle" (no grains, no processed foods- he ate meat, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds.) and felt so much better, and begged me to try it but I refused.<br /><br />Cut forward a few months later, and I found out that I needed to eliminate yeast, sugar (processed), and grains completely from my diet. So I agreed to try a Paleo/primal "diet" since it fit in with my doctor's orders. Here I am now less than a year later, I have lost 37 lbs. easily, and for the first time in all of these years my thyroid is at the normal range. It has changed my life, I'm extremely grateful. I am still on thyroid meds- I take one grain of Porcine Thyroid daily, but that is a very low dose. My body absolutely fell apart on synthroid and all the generic versions. I had to go natural for this. But I just wanted to say I'm sorry you are suffering, I know how you feel, and I just wanted to tell you about my success. It may not be something you are interested in, and I have no connections at all to this site I will recommend for you. I don't know your complete medical history, and what you have tried, but as a mom myself of three teens, I felt I wanted to share what helped me.<br /><br />I wish you lots of luck, and I hope that you will find something that works for you. This is the site that hubby and I got our information from:<br /><br />marksdailyapple.com<br /><br />Good luck, VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
