I was diagnosed about l0 yrs ago with Hypothrodism (Hashimatos's) and am on Armour thyroid and doing very well. If this natural approach is not available, how difficult will it be to switch to the snythetic form when one is over 65 years of aga?

Another concern and comment: I've been taking Omega-3's for over 6 years. A relative visiting this weekend said that her doctor in Michigan told her to get off the EFA's because they could cause heart problems. Her husband had one stent and was told when he got his second this past December that he should not take EFA's any longer; they most probably caused his need for this second stent.

You are very clear about Armour Throid and also the need for EFA's. I'm feeling conflicted.

I have been recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Thanks for posting this article. I've been looking for information on lifestyle changes. One little question though. Is popcorn a high sugar food like corn? It 's my one little snack that I have and I just wanted to check on it.

What about hyperthyroidism, which is what I have,(borderline according to my recent blood test),what can I do to normalize this because it is always easy for me to lose weight. I have to go to the gym to put on weigh or I'll be a skinny rake lik I was as a kid (before i started working out). If I am sick and miss the gym everyone notices that I have lost some weight. Is there anything I can do to normalize my thyroid for this. I can't find anything about lowering your thyroid hormones, it's always for hypothyroidism.

I was so impressed by the need for iodine ( www.wellnessresources.com/.../iosol_iodine.php and www.health-science-spirit.com/iodine.html ) that I started taking alot of it, especially in the winter. I am thinking now that I may have overdone it, as I am getting nightsweats and some light purple color is appearing under my eyes. I am stopping for now. Finding the proper balance can be a challenge, but it is what we must strive for.

Dr. Mercola, Thank you so much for the loads of information I receive in my e-mail almost daily. I have learned so much. When I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism I ran home to look it up on your web site and found most all the information I needed to get on the right track to feeling better. I have forwarded articles to my brother and because of them he pursued testing and found he also has hypothyroidism. Now I am working on one of my sisters because I believe from everything that I have read that she too has this problem. She has been sent these articles today. Thanks again, our doctors would never take the time to explain this. You are wonderful to take the time to help us understand these issues. Sandy

I found this article of interest to me because I have some of these symtoms ..such as the tiredness and others. I do have the coconut oil and will order more of the Krill oil and hope that this along with some other things will help greatly.

Thank you Dr. Mercola for all of these article and your product that give us a measure of good health!

Warmly,

Carolyn
