Asking for help for chronic inflammationPosted By Andres (Tucson, Az) on 12/31/2009
Ever since I was real young I've had many inflammatory-related issues. Allergy sensitivity tests would show a reaction to most foods/elements. Now that I'm 27 my symptoms have improved through a healthier diet, but some symptoms still linger such as constipation, fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, and general dryness.
I've been looking for posts on this site for recommendations but it's hard to pinpoint causes since my symptoms cross over spectrums of autoimmune, metabolic, and intestinal disorders. Some of the remedies on this site (acv, coconut oil, etc) have very little to no results. I've spent so much of my life treating symptoms individually, but ever since I learned of my predisposition to inflammation, I feel like I'm getting closer to treating the cause. The question is, how?
It would be much appreciated if someone more knowledgeable can point me in the right direction.

For the record, I am currently taking 150 mgs. of Iodoral (iodine) plus all the recommended supplements that go with it. All my symptoms of thyroid have gotten so much better, especially the brain fog and fatigue. I am sleeping much better as well. So, iodine is safe way beyond 40 mgs.Replied by Kathy (Bay Shore, New York) on 02/04/2013
You sound like me, it does sound like thyroid. I have a high Reverse T3. I take T3 only meds.Replied by Anonymouscat (La, Ca) on 02/20/2013
Our ND suggested eliminating dairy from the diet may very well eliminates back pain altogether. We never eat sweets but one day we were out and had three desserts by the evening my entire lower back was inflammed with pain radiating up to my skull I was sick the entire night. Woke up drank ACV to try to eliminate the toxic effects of white flour and sugar. Went to the dr and she to do yoga back stretches and if that does not work they would order images to see if there is a herniated disc.Replied by Anonymous (La, Ca) on 05/12/2013
Inflammation can be caused by so many things. I had blurred vision, low back inflammation, tiredness, dizziness, etc... I had hypothyroidism I was sure... but according to two MD'S my thyroid was fine I was in the range and that was that. I saw an ND, he took one look at the test and said your thyroid is on verge of being low so let's take care of it and see how you feel. I take 10 drop HTHY thyroid drops, and Hawthorne solid extract daily. I also take 1-2 drops Lugols. Iodoral is another thing that we discussed which is comparable to that of the Japanese iodine rich diet. I believe you take 1-4 tablets daily if you take this it is good be monitored so you know where your at. I've read that the salivia test is the best test for thyroid not the blood test.
