Re: Candida weight loss /Thyroid

Hi Jazzie,

Well, yes, I eat all of those foods, and particularly cabbage eaten in abundance. The challenge is that these foods (particularly cruciferous) are very good for breast health and a host of other things. Then, the downside is that they suppress thyroid function. It is a "darn if you do; darn if you don't" situation.

I do believe candida is a culprit. I think so many toxins were being generated by the die-of (and candida itself) that my adrenals were compromised. The impact on the adrenals interfere with the body's ability to utilize the thyroid hormones. Such complexities....the human body.

I am doing more research, but Dr. Lam indicated I am a perfect OAT Axis person. (O = ovaries; A = Adrenal; T = Thyroid).

Here's a link to the OAT subject.
