Hi, am new to the sight,  My name is Teresa, I have Hypothyroid and
have had for over 15 years.  I was diagnosed when I was 21, that sure
answered a lot of questions about why I was so tired, fuzzy headed and
had a hard time in school and work.  I take levothroxin, but it doesn't
seem to be workig for me very well any more, My levels seem to be fine,
but I know I'm not fine, I am getting more and different symtoms, hot
flashes, irritable, tired so very tired, unmotivated to do anything,
bloating.  I am a good weight 126 to 130 range, I have good days and
bad days, I never know what I'm going to get.  I am a healthy person, I
work out, I eat healthy foods, I have two very fun healthy children,
who are in school all day, so I can rest up.  I feel like I have been
to the doctors 15 times in the last four months and I get the same
thing. Low iron, T4 looks good, colesterol a little high.  Is there
anybody out there experiencing this. I would love to here your story.
Or any hints that work for You.
Thanks Teresa

In early 2006 my wife Kath was looking for free
finance ebooks on the web. We were both disgruntled
about the pay and long dangerous hours in my
contracting job, so she decided to do something about
it. She came across an ebook from Jamie McIntyre at
21st Century Academy called "What I Didn't Learn at
School But Wish I Had". After reading the ebook Kath
was so impressed that she ordered the free DVD with
the same title.

When we both watched the DVD we were convinced that
this was the right system for us, so we ordered the
21st Century Homestudy Program. This was tough going,
because we were down to our last $500 after a
renovation on the trashed former drug baron's house
across the road. We thought that the renovation road
was the route to wealth and thats why we were doing
it. Previously, we had been in Network Marketing for
many years, but could not seem to breakthrough to the
levels we needed to have a decent lifestyle. When we
ordered the program, our one thought was, if this
doesnt work, its getting returned!

Rich people: fortunate, lucky, selfish, and arrogant?
Or highly educated, caring, brilliant individuals?
Becoming rich isnt hard, but it does require a bit of
time and knowledge. Having time to get rich, educating
oneself, and buying assets are the three key factors
in attaining untold wealth.

Rich people usually either have or make time to get
rich. Most people that now own huge mansions, have
wonderful riches, and drive the nicest cars usually
begin taking the road to riches in their spare time.
One plan, the most common, is to work at a low-risk,
steady job until one has enough money to invest in
something that will feed one for the rest of their
life. But before one can invest in anything, one first
has to educate oneself.

Hope no one minds that I post this, simply its hard for us vegetarians
who are hypo to find other vegetarians who are hypo, and need support,
ideas, specific to this. Many vegetarians are told they must eat meat
once diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Not true! I opened a group for
veggie hypo's, & on natural healing. Note we are (mellow) Krishna
devotees, all are ok with that. We'd be happy to share what we know &
visa versa. Lets all help each other. Anyway, we'll post info found to
work or help, the use of herbs, vits/minerals/amino's, oils, detoxing,
building, etc. Please, not for caretakers, the curious, etc but a
Support group for those actually diagnosed with "Autoimmune"
Hypothyroidism. Read the front page & see if we're a good fit for you. :)

Hello to all!

I am alive…lol!  Still very sore and sitting and trying to read makes
me dizzy.  Surgery only took two hours rather then three!  I had a
very large goiter that was growing inwards compressing my vocal cords
and esophagus along with the 4 cm mass that was growing out over my
trachea.  Other then the small nodule on my left lobe nothing came
back cancerous…it all came back Hashimoto's.  Which means NO
Chemo!!!  All my blood work cam back good, which means no problems
with my calcium levels.  I had to be tested every three hours so I
look like a druggie.  My hands and arms are so bruised from the Iv
and blood work.  I was able to eat a back potato the night of surgery
and actually swallow it…it has been so long since I could do that!
It was AWESOME! Tuesday was a rough day for me…I could not keep any
pain meds down and I spent 12 hours throwing up…so just had surgery
on my throat, I am now throwing up and NO pain meds…thought I was
going to die…they had released me at 11am and they where ready to put
me back in the hospital at 6pm.  I was able to take some IBprophine
and sleep for a few hours.  I continued to be sick tell around 9pm…
but slept through the night and by Wednesday morning I felt a little
more myself.  I am very slow moving and still have people helping me
through the day with day care kids today and tomorrow.  My neck is
really stiff and I am very dizzy…each day I feel a little bit better
though! I have the stitches out on Monday and then need to take an
easy for the rest of that week.  I am all ready on meds so I think I
am doing good with not crashing.  Thank you to all of you for your
thoughts and prayers!  I pray now I can live a normal life!!!

I too feel fine without my thyroid.  As long as I take
my thyroid  hormones.

Hi Jenn,

One thing I will say about having my thyroid removed, is I don't feel
any ill effects from it's absence.  I take the hormone replacement - (I
take levoxyl) and I have my levels tested twice a year.  It can take up
to six months to settle on the right dose, and occasionally the doc's
will change the dose according to the results of your labs.  But apart
from the initial settling down period I have been fine ever since.

Take care,

Please let me know how you get on.

Debbie

Hi Jennifer,

This is my third attempt at replying to you.  I have not responded to
anyone in a while, and I guess my membership froze or something,
becasue I could not post my message to you until I re-registerd as a
new member!

Anyway, if you see three messages from me, you will know the reason
why :-)

I had a total thyroidectomy at the beginning of 2002.
I had two surgeries on my neck 3 weeks apart.  My initial surgery was
because I had overactive parathyroid glad, and was scheduled for a
simple parathyroidectomy.  Cancer was not even considered – at any
point, in my pre scans or any of my pre tests.   When they removed
the parathyroid, they removed one lymph node and discovered the lymph
node was cancerous.  So 3 weeks after my first surgery I was right
back there again having a total thyroidectomy.  I had Papilliary
Thyroid Cancer and I was pretty scared.  So I do know how you feel.

I just wanted to give you a few pointers on what your surgery and
after affects would be like.  I hope you don't mind.

Be careful of what you eat for a couple of days before the surgery.
I was so worried about the whole procedure I became constipated, I
thought I would be OK if I took an herbal laxative.  But
unfortunately I reacted badly to the anesthetic and I spent most of
the night after my surgery vomiting.  I know this affect was caused
by the laxative because I was perfectly fine after my first surgery.

What the surgeon did not tell me, was that because they have to move
neck muscles out of the way to get to your thyroid your neck muscles
will be very sensitive to movement for
about a week.  I was not warned about this, and because I was taking
strong painkillers I felt really good, so I started to drive 3 days
after my first surgery.  That was a HUGE mistake, I suffered for 2
weeks after my first trip out in the car, with terrible neck pain.
The only thing that eased the pain in the end was heat pads which did
a great job of calming my neck muscles.  I also had a small bone
shaped neck pillow, (purchased from CVS at the time) to help support
my neck while I slept.  I found that incredibly
helpful. Try not to twist your neck – which is exactly what I did the
first time around.
So I was more or less feeling much, much better, then had to go and
do the same thing all over again. At least I had learned by my
earlier mistakes.

I did not twist my neck at all, I walked around the house like a
wooden toy.  I definitely stayed away from driving for at least a
week, and I continued to use my neck support pillow and heat pads.
The heat pads were a blessing.

The surgery is fine, the recovery is OK too but I was lucky I had
help.  My mother-in-law came to look after my son who was 4 at the
time.  For the first 2 or 3 days I slept for most of the time because
I was prescribed Oxycodine.  I tried not to depend too much on the
Oxycodine, and started using Tylanol after the third day.

I was also warned that the surgery could affect my voice only because
the thyroid is so closely nestled to the voice box. My voice was not
damaged in the slightest.  Obviously your neck and site of surgery is
sore for a while, and my voice was raspy for a few days, after both
surgeries, more so after the second.  I also found it difficult to
swallow for a day or so, but after a couple of days everything
settles down.

I was really curious to see the scar, but I was instructed not to
take the 'band-aid' off for at least 3-4 days.  I tried to do as I
was told because I did not want to get an infection – but we all know
the story of Pandora's box, and I could not resist, so I had just a
little teeny peek.  Funnily enough I did get a slight infection in
just that one spot where I `peeked'.  I am now left with a tiny
dimple right at the end of my scar line.  I was lucky, it could have
been much worse!

As for my scar – what scar?  I have a perfectly seamless neck line -
my scar is more or less invisible to anyone not knowing I had the
surgery.

Hopefully, all this will help you have a wonderful, quick and hassle
free recovery.

Being diagnosed with any type of cancer is truly a frightening
experience, worrying that you may or may not have it, must be totally
excruciating for you, especially because of your family
circumstances.

I will be thinking of you, and will be more than happy to answer any
questions you may have.

Take care

Debbie

My Name is Jenn- I am 28 years old and will be having a total
Thyroidectomy in the next few weeks. I was told about three weeks ago
I could have Thyroid Cancer after a large mass was found on my
isthmus. This came two months after finding out my Dad had stage four
throat, larnxy and lung cancer. Through out the last three weeks I
have been to four different doctors including a Ear Nose and Throat
Specialist and a Endocrinologist. Making my total Doctor visits and
hospital visits to ten in the last two weeks. After several biopsies
and a Thyroid Scan I was told two days ago I would require a total
Thyroidectomy. I am extremely scared...but thyroid issues are not new
to me…I have been suffering from Hypothyroidism since I was seventeen
and also have Hashimoto's Thyroditis.

What is currency trading? How can you get rich and powerful from

Until six years ago, when the United States Congress passed a law and

participate in this currency day trading, only large banks, financial

Look for the Source of Debt

You may be way over your head with unpaid bills and
debt payments you just cant catch up with. It might be
just the right time to look for the source of all the
trouble. Its like looking for the source of bleeding
and stopping it there. For some people it may be that
credit card and the unplanned monthly purchases. For
many, credit cards are a necessity, but if its causing
you a lot of trouble, either forgo it altogether or
keep it under lock and key for awhile.

Did you know that nearly 11 million of us have a hypo-active thyroid?
And that Hypothyroidism is linked to obesity and high cholesterol?
Hypothyroidism, also called under-active thyroid, is a condition in
which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone for
optimal body function. This little gland has the job of regulating your
basal metabolism, or of converting heat (your calories) to energy.
To function at it's best, the thyroid gland requires iodine from sea
vegetables (like sea weeds) and some vegetables.Iodine is absolutely
essential for thyroid health. All sea vegetables are high in mineral
content, especially NORI.

The food value of Nori lies in its high protein content (25-35% of dry
weight), vitamins and mineral salts, especially iodine. Its vitamin C
content is about 1.5 times that of oranges and 75% of the protein and
carbohydrates are digestible by humans, which is very high for seaweeds.
The element of Nori which is one of the main ingredients  which make
Tyhromine so special for thyroid health.

THYROMINE is an all-natural thyroid supplement that works with your
body's own systems to help the thyroid produce the right amount of
hormone for your every day needs.

I was reading about someone taking 'Iodoral'
Do thyroidless people need the iodine?

I use iodineless salt.  I figure we get enough of the reg. salt with
any process foods or when we eat out or from meat or chicken sources
already.

I thought even if we were under a nucleur attack us thyroidless people
woudl not need the iodine....

I had my thyroid surgery in Jan of 2004.  At the time the scar really
bothered me.  However I saw a nurse practioner who had the same
surgery 2 years before, and I honestly could not see her scar! I
thought mine would never be as good as hers!
Well now it is 7-2007.  My scar looks like a neck wrinkle where I had
one anyways... So no one notices it!  They would never know!
Now I am much healthier.  I guess while I had the cancer I really
looked awful! I can see it in pictures of myself!!
So once your mom gets this behind - the sooner the better..
She can get on with improving her health, and get well again.

I had papillary thyroid cancer in 1 of 2004.  I had the I-131 after 1
time.
I have to travel to see an endrocronologist as no one close will take
Medicare.  So I have been monitored by my PC Doctor.

Should I be making an apointment with the endrocronologist for any
retesting after all this time ?
Thanks, Nancy

People its just that simple, don't bother contacting the FDA, or your
senator, contact your favorite class action lawsuit lawyer!! Nothing
motivates greedy corporations like Monsanto (provider of Aspartame)
like a class action lawsuit.

   FDA Should Reconsider Aspartame Cancer Risk, Say Experts

CSPI
Tuesday June 26, 2007

WASHINGTON—A new long-term animal test from an Italian cancer
institute raises serious safety questions about the artificial
sweetener aspartame, which is marketed generically as well as under
the NutraSweet and Equal brand names. A dozen toxicology and
epidemiology experts and the nonprofit Center for Science in the
Public Interest are calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
to immediately review the study, which found increases in lymphomas,
leukemias, and breast cancers in rats. If FDA concludes that aspartame
does cause cancer in animals, the agency is required by law to revoke
its approval for the controversial sweetener, which is used in Diet
Pepsi, Diet Coke, tabletop packets, and countless other foods.

The new study, conducted by the respected Ramazzini Foundation and
published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, found
statistically significant increases in lymphomas and leukemias in rats
that were fed as little as 20 milligrams of the sweetener per kilogram
of body weight—an amount that's in the ballpark of what some people
consume. The new study is superior to a similar one released in 2005
in that it began exposing the rats to aspartame before their birth.

"Because aspartame is so widely consumed, it is urgent that the FDA
evaluate whether aspartame still poses a `reasonable certainty of no
harm,' the standard used for gauging the safety of food additives,"
said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "But consumers,
particularly parents, shouldn't wait for the FDA to act. People
shouldn't panic, but they should stop buying beverages and foods
containing aspartame."

The Acceptable Daily Intake of aspartame in the United States is 50 mg
per kg of body weight. The new study looked at doses less than that
(20 mg per kg) and greater (100 mg per kg). Though few people would
consume aspartame at the higher dose, the lower does is equivalent to
a 50-pound child drinking 2½ cans of diet soda per day, or a 150-pound
adult drinking about 7½ cans of diet soda per day. But aspartame also
enters the diet through sugar-free or reduced-sugar gums, candies,
yogurts, and hundreds of other products. Many aspartame-containing
products are likely to be consumed by kids, including sugar-free
Kool-Aid, Jell-O gelatin dessert and pudding mixes, and some Popsicles.

A 2006 National Cancer Institute study seemed to ease cancer fears
related to aspartame, but that study had major limitations, including
its reliance on imprecise food-frequency questionnaires, and it
included only subjects between the ages of 50 and 69 who first
consumed aspartame as adults. The effects of consuming aspartame from
infancy or childhood might be very different, says CSPI, as suggested
by the new animal study.

Among those who today called on FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach
to review the new aspartame study are former Occupational Safety and
Health Administration officials John Froines (now at UCLA) and Peter
F. Infante (now at George Washington University); James Huff, current
Associate Director for Chemical Carcinogenesis at the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS); and Kamal M. Abdo,
a toxicologist formerly at the National Toxicology Program of the NIEHS.

As a result of the new study, for the first time CSPI downgraded
aspartame on its online Chemical Cuisine directory from a "use
caution" rating to "everyone should avoid." CSPI also urges everyone
to avoid the artificial sweeteners acesulfame potassium and saccharin.
It rates sucralose, also known by the brand name Splenda, as safe.

CSPI also called on the food industry to voluntarily switch to other
sugar substitutes.

"Switching to safer ingredients now could be a wise precautionary
action," Jacobson wrote to Cal Dooley, president of the Food Products
Association/Grocery Manufactures Association.

According to a 1996 report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the FDA
rejected repeated proposals by NIEHS to test aspartame using more
modern methods than were originally used. David Rall, the former
director of NIEHS and its National Toxicology Program, said, "any
compound that is that widely used needs to be retested with modern
methods every once in a while." The State of California, too, has
urged new testing of aspartame. The FDA also rejected NIEHS's proposal
to test acesulfame potassium, which CSPI says was "abysmally tested"
by its manufacturer and showed signs of causing cancer in animals.

MSG and Aspartame help Cancers grow like wild fire according to Dr
Russell Blaylock, a board certified neurosurgeon, and author of
several books on Cancer, excito-toxins and health.

Not only is MSG and Aspartame incredibly dangerous in the development
of Cancers over a life time, but the FDA is allowing any food
processor who dilutes the MSG by 2% to call it anything they want.
What this means is that if the MSG they put in your TV dinner is only
98% pure there is a list of 30 different trade names that it can be
listed under - such as Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Hydrolyzed
Vegetable Oil, Natural or Artificial Flavoring.

How is a person who is going through the ravages of Cancer ever going
to win with a food labeling policy of HIDING and mislabeling what they
are putting in your food.

Read about how bad Aspartame and MSG are for yourself, and please copy
and pass this email on.  If each person who reads this and benefits
from it could send it to 5 other people we can form a 'wake up chain'
benefiting millions of people around the world, and bringing real
pressure to bear to get the North American food industry to be forced
to clean itself up in its labeling practices.  Its not trivial its
literally the difference between dying at age 50 with a metastized
cancer, or living to a elderly age of 70,80 and farther.

At : http://www.newstarget.com/020550.html we read
"Excitotoxins have been found to dramatically promote cancer growth
and metastasis. In fact, one aspartame researcher noticed that, when
cancer cells were exposed to aspartame, they became more mobile, and
you see the same effect with MSG. It also causes a cancer cell to
become more mobile, and that enhances metastasis, or spread. These
MSG-exposed cancer cells developed all of these pseudopodians and
started moving through tissues, which is one of the earlier
observations from cancer."

At : http://www.newstarget.com/rr-blaylock.html we read
"The food companies don't want you to know that these chemicals cause
obesity, infertility, migraines and cancer, among other health problems."

At : http://www.life-enthusiast.com/index/Articles/Blaylock we read
"In 1957 two ophthalmologists, Lucas and Newhouse decided to test MSG
on infant mice in an effort to study an eye disease known as
hereditary retinal dystrophy. When they examined the eye tissue of the
sacrificed animals they made a startling discovery. MSG had destroyed
all the nerve cells in the inner layers of the animals retina which
are the visual receptor cells of the eye."

At : http://aspartamekills.com/blalockpilot.htm we read
"Finally, a recent scientific study demonstrated that aspartame
exposure significantly increases the level of formaldehyde in all
tissue. Including brain and retina, and that this breakdown product of
aspartame is very toxic to proteins and DNA, leading to permanent
injury to these vital cellular components. Even more important, was
the finding that this highly toxic substance accumulates in these with
chronic exposure to aspartame. This could lead to significant injury
to the brain, retina and other organs long after the exposure. Also,
the effects appear to be dose related. That is, the more aspartame you
consume, the greater the damage. It should be appreciated that
formaldehyde is a powerful carcinogenic agent."

PLEASE SEND THIS TO 5 PEOPLE EACH, LETS FORM A WAKE UP CHAIN TODAY!

Hope its ok to post this here acuz this is an issue given little
attention to for vegetarians. You see, I am a vegetarian diagnosed

I discovered the medicinal benefits of eating Field Horsetail by
accident when I decided to eat some out off the side of the road, and
now that I have done some research into it - I would strongly
encourage those who are battling cancer to consider trying it.

Photos of it are here:
http://www.cwss-scm.ca/Weeds/images/Eq1-field-horsetail.JPG

For approximately 10-14 hours after eating 3 or 4 'tails' I have
noticed the following:
   - dramatic clarity of thought, good mood.
   - aches go away, the whole body feels good
   - generally very good feeling of well being and increased energy.

When I did some research onto the net about Field Horsetail (a weed) I
was shocked to read the following from

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T6R-4F29HSP-1&_user=1\
0&_coverDate=07%2F31%2F2005&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000\
050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=35fcc7549c063130525f91b26a2a432f
------
Water extract and ethanol extract from top and body portions of field
horsetail (tsukushi) were prepared, and the antioxidative activity was
investigated using four different methods. The contents of total
phenolic components were richer in the ethanol extract fractions of
each portion than in the water extracts. On the other hand, protein
contents were much lower in ethanol extract fractions than in water
extract fractions. These fractions had remarkable antioxidative
activities, similar to that of 5 mM ascorbic acid. Water extracts of
both portions showed high superoxide anion radical-scavenging
activities. Hydroxyl radicals were effectively scavenged by ethanol
extracts. Field horsetail (tsukushi) is rich in vitamins C and E.
Moreover, it contains high levels of copper and zinc. These are
essential elements, for superoxide dismutase to act against active
oxygen species. Tsukushi is not only a health food, but is also useful
in preventing various degenerative diseases.
-------
When they say 'ethanol extract' that just means they made it into a
tincture, I just plucked some out of the ditch and ate it... Maybe you
might want to at least wash yours!!!

Do consider for a scientific paper to use terms such as 'superoxides'
it would have to be good.

NOW YOU KNOW SPREAD THE WORD AND TRY SOME IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!

Please read some more about it here :

http://www.vitaminstuff.com/superoxide-dismutase.html

Another Excerpt:

Superoxide Dismutase has also been used to treat arthritis, prostate
problems, corneal ulcers, burn injuries, inflammatory diseases,
inflammatory bowel disease, and long-term damage from exposure to
smoke and radiation, and to prevent side effects of cancer drugs. In
its topical form, it may help to reduce facial wrinkles, scar tissue,
heal wounds and burns, lighten dark or hyperpigmentation, and protect
against harmful UV rays.
