Hi BTM66,

I'll bet if you were to ask the doctor what results and treatments could follow from this test 1) the doctor would be very surprised that someone actually asked and 2) you'd be very disappointed to the treatments it could lead to.

I looked up the definition for nuclear thyroid scan on the web and found this:

Definition

A thyroid nuclear medicine scan is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck and controls the body's metabolism. A radioactive substance that concentrates in the thyroid is taken orally or injected into a vein (intravenously), or both. A special camera is used to take an image of the distribution of the radioactive substance in and around the thyroid gland. This is interpreted to evaluate thyroid function and to diagnose abnormalities.

Personally I wouldn't tkae a radioactive poison "which conentrates in the thyroid." I mean, it doesn't even have the possibility of fixing the problem. More likely, if your thyroid is already having issues, injecting radioactive dye into it is like kicking it when its down. Even after the procedure, the doctors may not find anything, in which case you've poisoned yourself for nothing. And I'll guarantee that radioactive dye will stay in your system for some time to come. And if the doctors do find something, the only thing treatment you'd end up with from an MD is a synthetic thyroid hormone or other drug - which won't fix the cause of the problem. So... if that were me I'd go to a chiropractor to get muscle tested for various thyroid natural supplements, possibly rejuvedine as I mentioned in my other post (that product has helped me). I prefer rejuvedine and/or thyroid type supplements because to my way of thinking, they have a better chnce to get at the cause of the imbalance, whereas allopathic-medicine from doctors is designed to cure symptoms without ever addressing the cause. This means that you'd never get off their medications as the problem is never resolved.

Each body is so different. Even Edgar Cayce only recommended glandular thyroid supplements for low thyroid 1/4 of the time. Atomidine/rejuvedine was mentioned much more often. I don't know about you, but my body is very picky. I'd go to a person in the field of naturopathic medicine to find out what the options are, and then I'd have someone muscle test you to see which is the best one. I do the muscle testing thing because I know how picky my body is.

So sorry if it sounds like I'm on a soap box here. I just know that if someone tells me to put anything harmful in my body to do a test, its the wrong way to go - for me. To me, putting a prospective cancer patient into a cat scan and dosing them with radioactivity isn't wise, and this sounds very similar. I think its great that you asked for opinions out on Curezone.

Dear BTM66,

After reading your note once more, I just want to add that if you do have a goiter, in my opinion rejuvedine is more apt to be a really good thing. I'd still get it muscle tested, to be sure.

I also wanted to let you know that I know a women who can do muscle testing for you, over the phone. Personally I always check it out myself, and then I ask for help from other people that muscle test for me. I don't want to make a mistake so to me its safe to check out supplements this way. If you're interested please email me.

I'm not selling the stuff, I promise. I did a search on goiter and Edgar Cayce on the web and found this link. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_251/ai_n6112676
