Why not to go on thyroid meds?

I posted this in the hypothyroid forum but no one responded. Maybe someone here can help?
My friend just told me about her friend who lost 35 lbs in a month going on thyroid meds.
I was like, Oh. Nice. Since I basically have a liquid diet, eat right - no grains, no sugar, etc. I work out every day and I can't lose a SINGLE OUNCE!
I'm also exactly 35 lbs overweight.
But I don't want to go on meds.
I'm doing the nutritional balancing program as soon as I get my results back.
But why shouldn't I go on thryoid meds? I know there is a reason but I forget! :) Lol.

This is a reply to # 2,031,763Thyroid meds force the thyroid into overdrive, which is detrimental for weak adrenals. They will not be able to handle the added stress of the forced metabolism boost. This is why people who try to heal thyroid before adrenals are unsuccessful and end up worse than they were before. Heal adrenals first and thyroid will follow. You can do things to support thyroid gently like taking kelp. This was one of the supplements recommended to me on my NB program. If I were you I would wait for your hair test results. The program is designed to address all imbalances.

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,031,825Thanks - that makes sense. I knew there was a good reason. I had just been thinking it was a "magic bullet" and why go the long, hard, expensive road when I can pop a pill!
But you answered my next question which was whether doing NB will set things straight. Thanks!- Re: Why not to go on thyroid meds? Faith110

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,031,863There's no such thing as a silver bullet for AF, unfortunately, so you may as well forget that idea. :) Keep us posted as to your test results

This is a reply to # 2,031,872I meant silver bullet for thyroid - since I have the hair fall out, weight I can't lose, slow metab, tired, cold, too hot, etc.
And this woman - or a few pepole I know - took thyroid meds and now it's like "all better"- Re: Why not to go on thyroid meds? Iolite

This is a reply to # 2,032,036It is quite possible that you ARE hypothyroid or have high RT3 which is a by product of adrenal fatigue. The thyroid will down regulate the T4 and convert it to RT3 if the adrenals are weak. When this happens, you end up with low T3 which is what the body actually use. With low T3, you end up with hypothyroid symptoms.
Have you seen Janie Bowthorop's website: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com?
It is an excellent source of information on hypothroidism, high RT3 and adrenal fatigue. She has a link on recommended labwork too.

This is a reply to # 2,032,054So does nutritional balancing give a sense of where you're at with your thyroid or should I get additional testing - b/c this is describing me to a T -

This is a reply to # 2,032,138Bella- When I started NB my calcium/potassium ratio was very high and showing a sluggish thyroid with 50- 75% energy loss. My ratios started at 25, then 20, then 11 and last test 7.67. The ideal is 4 so it just keeps improving as time goes on.
The only thing I added to support my thyroid was 2 caps of kelp with each meal. Nb should take care of all issues you are having over time if you follow the program.
Here is a link describing the ratio's in depth.

This is a reply to # 2,032,170Thank you - you give me hope.
This is unrelated - but related - I was hoping to get pregnant this year.
It would be my last child and I'm 41 now but I can't wait to much longer.
I wonder if it's possible to do NB for 6 months and then return to it after I stop nursing and really heal "for good" or if it's too risky -
Just can't wait to get my results back and will talk to my practitioner about this!- Re: Why not to go on thyroid meds? Onwards

This is a reply to # 2,032,186I had my last child 15 years ago at the age 35. I had no idea that I had adrenal fatigue but I crashed so badly after that pregnancy. I had a very hard time taking care of my children because I was so exhausted.
As you know pregnancy is very hard on the body. It really depends on how ill you are. Maybe you could discuss this with your MD and your NB practitioner.
Nutritional Balancing is not a walk in the park. At the very minimum a person should devote at least one or two years for this time of healing. Once the body starts to dump toxins, metals, old drug residues it is a project unlike any other you will have undertaken. But once you are through the worst like I have your health should return with great abundance.
There were 2 women who got pregnant that used to post here. Maybe you could look them up. They were Saljoe and Mankaa.
Best to you!
