It seems as I'm taking levothroid around 125, my TSH goes up and down, can't get it down to normal range. I've been taking vitamins in all shapes and sizes. I tried krill oil, Co Q10, multis, fish oil, and flax, and vit C. It seems I might have had a flareup with krill and/or a lactoferrin/probiotic blend I was taking. Does krill or fish oil have iodine? I've heard don't take iodine. Taking a RAW brand multis, the RAW B helps with energy as does some brewers yeast I take. -There is a level of uncertainty of what to take or do, I'm willing to try anything. Cant say MD docs don't care, but unless they've had it, they can't really relate to the symptoms. Does anyone know a good MD out here who treats this combining naturopath medicine or a more holistic approach?

I am 32 years old. I have hypo-thyroid for the last 12years. I started off with Eltroxin 50mcg. Then I did not follow up with my doctor. That was my mistake. In 2009 I shifted to Thyronorm 75mcg after consulting my doctor. Then in April 2011 the doctor asked me to further increase my dosage to 88mcg after looking at my TSH levels. In July 2011 I started losing a lot of weight my homeopath told me to het my free t3, free t4, tsh and anti globulin checked. My free t3 was 2.73, my free t4 was 1.75 , tsh was 2.43, tpo was 2.31 and thyroglobulin antibody (atg) was 59.62. My ESR was 16. This was on 27th july 2011. My homeopath said I have Hashimoto's Thyroidism. As I was showing signs of weight loss and my reports. So he asked me to reduce my dosage to back to thyronorm 75mcg. I consulted another endocrinologist he said I dont have hashimoto's and I should continue with thyronorm 88mcg. I reduced my dosage to 75mcg. I have been experiencing hair loss. I have been having eye trouble. Dryness in my left eye. So I went to an opthamologist. He said to get my thyroid checked. On 27th August I got my thyroid checked again , my total t3 is 64.30, my total t4 is 7.20 and my tsh is 3.57. The opthamologist said the count has increased a lot considering I have reduced my dosage for only a month. Please help. I want to cure my Hashimoto's Thyroidism.

I also had a 1cm nodule on the right side of my thyroid. I had already started the VCO on 02/24/2011 and in addition, my doctor told me to go on a gluten-free diet immediately and chart my symptoms/progress, etc... I have been diligent about not cheating since going Gluten Free and I have been faithful in taking 1 TBS of VCO daily along with other supplements. I had a follow-up appt. On 04/19/2011 and my doctor could not find the nodule! I have also felt increasingly better since going GF. I noticed a huge difference after about a month of being GF and I am feeling better as time goes on. She will check my thyroid levels in June, including antibodies. Currently I am not on any meds and she has said she hopes to keep me off of any medication as long as possible. I do believe it is the combination of the VCO and GF diet that have helped with the Hashimoto's. The supplements I am on, I have been taking for a long time. So I think at this point I am actually able to absorb the nutrients and am benefitting from those from a nutritional standpoint. I have also been told that people with Hashimoto's need to be very careful about supplementing with iodine since our issue is an immune system issue and not rooted in the thyroid per se. I am not saying nobody should take iodine but at this point I am not using it and and being cautious. My doctor said she did want to check my iodine levels as well but for now to continue on as I have been doing.

Determining the dominant immune pathway imbalance and stimulating the non-dominant pathway is a huge part of the protocol. As I am th1 dominant, I avoid th1 stimulators like astragalus, echinacea, medicinal mushrooms and licorice, as they make me worse and instead take a polyphenol complex, emulsified D and a glutathione/SOD cream to reduce inflammation. Most Hashimoto's patients don't need thyroid medicine (unless the thyroid is already ceasing to function due to damage)- they need immune system balancing to stop the autoimmune attack. Meds do not accomplish this and if you have Hashimoto's, you are at much higher risk for developing other autoimmune disorders down the road, as long as the immune system remains imbalanced. Since starting my protocol, my brain fog has lifted, I've lost weight without trying and I'm much less tired and heavy feeling. The improvement was very quick for me. My friend is also being treated and has had similar quick improvements. Just eliminating gluten (before I ever started the Kharrazian protocol) eliminated my debilitating menstrual cramps and the monthly IBS that accompanied them. My skin also had a lot less breakouts.

I had an appointment with my endocrinologist two weeks ago. Aside from sending me for a blood test and another sonogram he also said he wants me to have a biopsy. That was when I decided to try some alternatives. I am not allowing them to take out my thyroid and be on medication for the rest of my life when the medication has not helped at all. I found this site and Dr.Batmangheldj's site. I knew I was dehydrated so I started increasing my water intake to 96 ounces a day. I weigh 180 lbs and Dr. Batmangheldj recommends drinking half of your body weight in water each day. I also started taking extra potassium, magnesium and I take my multi vitamin 3 times a day instead of once because it has iodine in it and the water causes flushing out of your system. The goiter went from golfball size to half of that in less than a week just from the water and increase in supplements. I also do not feel as many bumps as I had on my goiter as I had been feeling when I lay back and stretch my throat. Also my edema is much better. My hands and face are less swollen and my skin is no longer sticking over my socks a quarter of an inch which they had been for a long time. This past week I have started with the apple cider vinegar and baking soda (2 tbsp ACV and 1/8 tsp of baking soda) twice a day and the goiter has gone down even more. At 52 I thought I was getting arthritis but I guess it was dehydration because almost all aches and pains are gone now. I live in New York, we have chlorine and fluoride in the water so I am getting a shower filter and the Zero water pitcher (it's supposed to remove fluoride from the water) and maybe my thyroid will improve even more. I will also be trying the Borax to rid my system of fluoride. I'm so glad I found this site.

Some articles say iodine can shut down the thyroid if overused or cause an increase in antibodies. Yet, doesn't the thyroid need iodine to produce t3/t4? If Hashimoto's is more of an autoimmune disorder than hypothyroidism, is it wise to treat it the same way? Also, I've been supplementing with potassium iodide for a few weeks and I've noticed memory/brain fog improvement. What are the advantages of using a mixture such as Lugol's (iodine and iodide) as opposed just iodide?

The doctor explained that the bacteria Yersinia enterolitica has been linked to the cause of Hashimoto\'s - apparently it has a similar protein coat to thyroid cells which provokes the immune response. I had not been treated with antibiotics for this. The only thing I have been doing differently is to drink Kombucha tea.
