Additionally, if you raise too quickly, or in too large a dose raise, your body can overreact, making you think you were on too much. The solution for patients has been to go back where they were, and go up in smaller increments, such as 1/4 grain.

Here's my situation... I wish I could make this quick, but after years of seeing mountains of doctors without real answers, I want you to get a good idea of my being... I will strive to be concise as possible though. I don't know where else to turn, I'm hoping to get some different opinions.
My stats: 25 year old hispanic male residing in the US, 6' tall weighing 155lbs
Childhood:
Wasn't breast fed, had asthma and allergic to almost everything tested for (allergic to many fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, dust mites, etc). Also unexplained IBS (constipation), fatigue and really skinny.
Highschool:
Since my mom and brother were hypothyroid, they found I too was just below "normal." I did bad on synthroid, but a little better on armour (I doubt that I am hypothyroid because I can take half of the smallest dose and feel fidgety and anxious).
College:
Took it upon myself to find alternative treatments. Thankfully, through much research, I re-vamped my entire diet: balanced with veggies, fruits, whey protein... and began avoiding fried foods, hydrogenated oils (I mostly use coconut and olive oil), white breads, and sugars. Combining these changes while discovering wheatgrass, my asthma has disappeared, my allergies are non-existent, and my bowels are more regular.
Years have passed and though I'm much better now than I was as a child, I still have many symptoms that no doctor can figure out:
Dryness all over- my hair, skin, eyes, nose, etc:
-Seems to be something I've always had... almost as if my body won't circulate moisture properly. I'm not dehydrated, as I've tried drinking much more watter with little results
-Coconut oil seems to help temporarily, but when I stop it, I get really dry again
Cold hands, cold feet, hair falls out more than usual:
-It almost sounds like hypothyroidism, and I'm still taking an extremely low dose of armour thyroid... because any time I increase thyroid medications, I cannot sleep and have hyper, roundabout thoughts... I've tried getting off thyroid meds and I just get a little lethargic.
Bouts of fatigue, creaky bones, dizziness when rising from a laying position
-it seems to happen usually before I eat lunch where I get this shaky, weak feeling throughout my body almost like hypoglycemia, where I have to eat (I've tried changing my breakfast a little).
Constipation:
-It's much better now, but it seems I'm dependent on wheatgrass--without it my bowels will struggle.
Recent Testing I've had:
-Complete blood count (my hematocrit is always a bit high, but I live in a high altitude), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Cortisol tests, Fasting blood test, Stool culture for parasites, Thyroid panel-- besides having slightly low blood Sugar and slightly high LDL cholesterol, all of these have come out normal.
Remedies I have Tried:
-Wheatgrass, Apple Cider Vinegar, Coconut Oil, multivitamin, cayenne pepper, liquid/vegetable fasts, kelp (iodine), I removed my Amalgams a while back, parasite cleanse (really made me feel bad), 1 liver flush. Some of these have provided temporary relief, but I can't shake the the symptoms of overall dryness, or my random weakness episodes. I try not to take these remedies at the same time... and I'm tired of just adding another remedy to the circulation without it providing real relief. I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with me.
Perhaps someone can find a pattern with all of these symptoms, or give me some advice or something else I can try.
Appreciate it.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,027,921First, you shouldn't be taking any saturated fats (coconut oils) whilst your LDL is high. It's too much stress on your heart and blood vessels. It's best to just do the Olive oil. You may have some genetic disorder that your drs. haven't got to the root of yet. You have tried every alternative thing I can think of and nothing really works for you. You should go to this site called wellness resources
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/iosol_iodine.php?
He has a really good article about iodine. He says that some forms of Iodine your body can't absorb.
Your weakness could be some vitamin deficiencies, and you should try a dermatologist for your skin. Drink close to a gallon a day, take fish oils, and eat more fish, chicken, walnuts, almond butter etc. This has enough good oils to help your skin some.
I work in a blood lab and a tech. told me that in America people do not have the parasites they are paranoid about. We run many Ova and parasite (O&P) tests daily and she says there is a minut amt of parasites if any. And if you had candida it would be more like a yeast type infection. It sounds to me like you have serious deficiencies in your diet by way of good fats, vitamins and minerals. - Re: hypothyroid? parasites? candida?... Naturalist

This is a reply to # 1,027,921You have a fungal overgrowth...parasites. (Candida is a parasite)
and a toxic colon.
A parasite is an organism that feeds and lives on
another organism. Some parasites are known to remain
in the body for up to 30 years. There is no part of
your body that is immune to parasites-not your
organs, muscles, blood, brain, or lungs.
"Coconut oil seems to help temporarily, but when I stop it,
I get really dry again"
Coconut oil is antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial.
"Constipation:
-It's much better now, but it seems I'm dependent
on wheatgrass--without it my bowels will struggle."
Constipation is a common sign of a toxic colon.
I don't see where you have done any colon cleansing.
What is your source of fiber...enough to make you
have 2 to 3 bowel movements a day.
The following is from Dr. Schulze 's newsletter of March 2007.
"The entire colon is so big that it is connected to, touches, sits
next to, or is in the vicinity of every major organ in the human
body except the brain. It also touches most of your major blood
vessels and nerves.
Constipation causes the colon to literally swell, expand and even
become herniated. And according to the leading medical books,
it is happening to all of us.
When an area of the colon gets constipated and swells,
it compresses and crushes the organ next to it. This
could be the lungs, the heart,the liver and gall bladder,
the pancreas, the kidneys and adrenals the uterus, the
prostate, again, almost every major organ in the body.
This is simply why a constipated, swollen colon can cause
an almost endless amount of seemingly unrelated diseases
and problems. And I haven't even discussed toxic build-up
in the colon that literally oozes into your blood and
infects and poisons-not just the nearby organs-but every
organ and every cell in your body.
What's the bottom line? A sluggish, constipated,
swollen bowel, retaining pounds of old fecal matter
can either compress a nearby area causing disease,
or emit infection and toxins which can affect
and infect any area of the body.
The symptoms and ailments from constipation are
almost endless...tension, fatigue, allergies,
indigestion, headaches, irritability, nervousness,
nausea, depression, obesity, food cravings, anxiety,
insomnia, bad breath, menstrual problems, swelling of
the legs, asthma, backache, memory loss, poor appetite,
lack of sexual response, hemorrhoids, prostate trouble,
skin problems, abdominal discomfort...and many other ailments.
Even if a person thinks that their particular problem
s unrelated to the colon, they might be wrong. A swollen,
constipated, irritated bowel puts pressure on and infects
everything around it. The nerves from the spine run next
to the bowel before they do down the legs."
" parasite cleanse (really made me feel bad), 1 liver flush."
This is an indication that you are on the right track. The "really
feel bad part" is die off. One parasite cleanse and 1 liver
cleanse is not enough.
You need to cleanse your colon: How do you feel about
colon hydrotherapy? Find someone who has you use an ozone
sauna before your therapy. Also do Barefoot's dewormer for
3 weeks and then do a liver cleanse. After the liver cleanse
go back on the dewormer for another 9 days. (Do the
dewormer while you are taking the colonics.)Then do more
Liver Cleansing until you are free of stones. Remember to
cleanse your colon after your liver cleanses. You will also
need to cleanse your kidneys. Then go on a maintenance
program...cleanse every 6 months.

If you do not want to do colonics you may want to try a
colon cleansing product. I like Dr. Schulze 's formula 1
and formula 2.

This is a reply to # 1,027,921I disagree somewhat with the above poster. I don't even understand why it's listed as "R", that's the blanket reply to anyone on these boards that posts anything with colon complaints. You should start with colon and parasite cleanse but it's not going to magically cure everything. I'm hypothyroid and have done tons of cleaning and regardless of my diet or what I do, if my meds are off then I will have constipation..and I have to use Oxypowder to stay regular..just like you're using Wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is great stuff; good for a lot of things but I'm not sure how good for a colon cleanse. I drink it for the health benefits. With hypo, you might want to stay away from pysllium products because of the tendency to be "dry" inside. You would probably have to drink double the amount of water an average person would which isn't fun either. I like http://www.oxypowder.com
It's predictable, you take a few caps before bed and you "go" in the morning. No cramps or anything like with regular laxatives. Quite a few people who like it in the bowel cleanse forum if you're interested.
" I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with me."
Ok, the answer you've been waiting for - It's your adrenals!!! It's commonly mistaken for "hypErthyroid" from Armour because of the anxiety. And also has a few of the same symptoms as hypO.
The biggest clue:
" but a little better on armour (I doubt that I am hypothyroid because I can take half of the smallest dose and feel fidgety and anxious)."
"dizziness when rising from a laying position
-it seems to happen usually before I eat lunch where I get this shaky, weak feeling throughout my body almost like hypoglycemia,"
Read about it on
http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/
http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/mistakes-patients-make/
Quoting from the above website:
- THINKING YOU ARE ON TOO MUCH BECAUSE OF HYPER-SYMPTOMS It’s common to think that because a patient is having hyper-like symptoms (anxiety, shakiness, fast heart rate, etc), especially on doses lower than 3 grains, they are on too much. Often, though, the hyper-like symptoms could be the result of underlying low-functioning adrenals (i.e. not enough cortisol), or even a low Ferritin—-each and/or both of which can be quite common in hypothyroid patients. So it can be wise to get both your Ferritin and cortisol levels checked. Ferritin is easily checked via a blood test, and if a patient is below 50, it can cause problems. As far as Cortisol levels, patients have found that the most accurate test is NOT a one-time blood test, but a 24 hour adrenal saliva test, which catches your levels during a 24 hour period. If money is an issue, try the self-tests on the ADRENAL INFO page on this site.

And join this Yahoo Group:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormones/
Bunch of info in the files and archives that will explain everything.
Time to ignore your doctors and keep doing your own research..and talk with other people who have the same exact complaints as you and that group is full of them.
