Do liver flushes help Hashimotos' Thyroiditis??

I'll try to keep this as short and sweet as possible.
OK, here goes:

On January 23, 2003, I had my last visit to my fertility specialist (BIG MISTAKE EVER GOING AND POISONING MY SYSTEM) where I was for the previous two years given maximum doses of fertility drugs (gonal F, estradiol, lupron and others). Prior to this, in 2000, I was a very healthy, normal, happy woman. I weighed 140 lbs and was 5'6" of large bone structure, a size 9. All of my lab work was better than normal, and I took the lowest dose of armour thyroid available then. On the last IVF treatment I had a very bad reaction to the drugs and my husband insisted I stopped. I gained a considerable amount of weight and was a size 18 and 210 lbs. I naively thought that I would regain my health after stopping the treatment but I was wrong. In an attempt to get the weight off, I went on many fasts and drank umpteen green shakes trying to get the hormones that congested my liver out so my system would function normally. I ate right, exercised, drank liquid chlorophyll, lemon water, you name it, it didn't work! I continued to spiral downwards even years after the treatments had stopped. The treatments pushed me into menopause, damaged my endocrine system as my thyroid has bottomed out and doesn't function even while taking 180 mg of armour thyroid, my insulin has skyrocketed, they've found heavy metals in my urine. To make a long story short, I crashed and wasn't able to get out of bed for 6 months. No matter what I did the weight would not come off! Going from Dr. to Dr. trying to regain my health only made it worse. I was given dmps chelation--13 treatments by a dr., who kept insisting I needed at least 30 to rid my system of the lead, aluminum, mercury and other metals I had at highly elevated levels. Despite chest pains, kidney pain, headaches, he continued to insist I needed more. I stopped with him once discovering the http://www.dmpsbackfire.com site. I read about Chlorella and how it could detox my system, I also discovered http://www.evenbetter.now and ordered the tox away clay baths and bio-chelat along with home urine tests. I continued with this protocol at home for another 4 months along with taking 20g or chlorella, r-lipoic acid, pregnenelone, DIM, fish oil (2000 mg), & CLA. Recently I've taken a 2nd urine test and it appears it is working and my metals are no longer showing up in my home urine tests. Needless to say the dr. left me financially strained for what I could have done at home in a much safer, milder way with no chest or kidney pain or headaches. I have recently had blood work done and my insulin is still high at 103, I refused to take the metformin or glucophage recommended by the dr. and am taking glyconutrients from http://mybloodsugarbreakthrough.com my thyroid is still not functioning properly, T-4 is 8.3 TSH .22 low T3,FREE 461 H my albumin is 5.0 H , while taking 180 mg of armour thyroid, and while awaiting an appointment for a specialist/endocrinologist--which I need to wait till June for, I've decided to try to find out whether or not Liver Flushes will help my thyroid and thus my insulin levels. I've been reading and reading on your wonderful site and have come accross 2 posts that said Liver Flushes do not help thyroid issues and I would like to know for sure as I would like to begin flushing with the hope of regaining my health. We relocated from Chicago for my husbands job in 2004 to Fort Worth, TX and finding dr's open to alternative therapies that don't charge a left lung has been difficult or should I say impossible, thus far, and I have not yet gone back to work due to my extremely poor health. I do need to regain my stamina before gaining employment as I don't believe it will do my employer or myself any good to start a job in this condition. I've been trying to do all the right things and still no success. Since July I have been detoxing my metals and taking chlorella so I thought it would be safe to begin flushing??? I would greatly appreciate your comments and advice from those of you who really know about this.

It was my impression that flushing/cleansing got to the root cause and therefore your entire system would eventually work the way it should, am I wrong on this? That's why I was confused as to the comments stating that flushing doesn't help thyroid issues, wouldn't it help all issues?? Guess I'm a tad confused and need clarification along with an outline on what to do next.

Thank you so much and God Bless, I am thoroughly exhausted and financially depleted, really need to get back to work.

I am still taking 20g of chlorella daily, fish oil, r-lipoic acid, dim, prgnenelone, bio-identical hormones to help with the flashes (my FSH is 54.5), 180 mg of armour thyroid (pending appt., with specialist), glyconutrients, emergen-c.

and I guess my question is.............what should my next step be? and the ones after that? Is there a specific protocol I should follow.

I guess I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that I am reading and how some information contradicts other information.

As for dietary issues. My husband and I follow Dr. Linda Posch's "Healthy Lifestyle Plan", which can be found here:

I use sprouted grains only, no sugar, no flour, white potatoes, etc. We cannot afford to buy all grass fed meats but we have cut back and eat more vegetarian dishes with meat once a month and chicken/turkey like twice a week, until i am back to work and able to purchase the grass fed meats.

Any help you could provide would truly be a blessing.

Blessings,
