Let me clarify my previous statement about the treatment of a woman and her body.....at least not my body....not yet.

One thing I am convinced of.......the medical community out there hasn;t a clue as to how to treat the body of a woman or her health issues. I appreciate the newsletters from Dr. Mercola because he is validating ALL my own personal knowledge of my own body and its functioning or non functioning. This fall I am going to see a natural health practictioner to get a complete diagnoses of my health issues, verse the standard medical evaluations, which are so far off it is incredible. This past year I had some intestinal disruptions that really upset me. Uncontrolled diarrea etc, and was told I needed an IIMMEDIATE surgery to take out my gallbladder at a personal(no insurance here)cost of $4500.

Well I needed to purchase a car first so I cancelled the surgery and spent the next several weeks observing what I ate. I found that I had a reaction to some foods and cut them out of my diet, and the symptomes when away, saving myself $4500. Truely we have to be our own watchdog of our health and not allow a drug pushing, surgery cutting profession to send us to the debtors prison at every turn in the road.

Although I live in a supposedly "progressive" area (southern California, LA County), I find it impossible to find a physician who can correctly monitor my thyroid. I was placed on Armour thyroid 15 years ago. Unfortunately, the excellent doctor I was seeing then is in New York. Anyway, my current doctor is trying to reduce my dosage (first time I've seen her). I just got my lab results today and my T3 is 1.20, my T4 is .9 (both within range), but my TSH is actually 0.00.

Does anyone have any information about such a low TSH??? (I took 60 mg. Armour for 13 years, 90 mg for last 2 years). Is 0.00 TOO low? Thanks guys.
