Re: Endo bloodresults
LazyLion,
1st of all, TSH is a totally worthless measurement. It is patented and given only steal money from you:

Next, your swollen thyroid was simply saying that you needed more
Iodine with selenium. Don't let the endo make any more out of it than that. The Quacks will always demand surgeries or biopsies to boost their income. Furthermore, they always try to keep
Iodine a secret.
Iodine is BAD for business revenue. This is true for the entire For-Profit Medical System. They kill iodine to maximize profits. That is just the way it is. Get used to it.
The rest of your Endo's BS about T4, T3, etc is also nothing more than a dribble smokescreen to keep you confused and paying his outrageous fees.

Your thyroid's MAIN function is your metabolism (body temp)

In order to see how well your thyroid is functioning simply chart your body temp, it should be 98.6 degrees. If you are a female, there is a specific time of the month to measure your temp. If it is below 98.6 then you need to take action. Either increase your iodine intake and if you have already done that, then you need to get on some Natural Dessicated Thyroid medication, just enough to get your body temp up to 98.6 degrees.
If you are taking iodine supplements, your thyroid can heal itself over time, and you should be able to reduce your thyroid hormone supplement. So chart your body temp to make this decision.

One last thing, T4, T3, TSH are influenced more by the nasty halogens than by your thyroid. Lets face it... your thyroid does not like Bromide, Fluoride & chloride. It wants IODINE and none other!
My 2 pennies worth, and I'm sure there will be opposing viewpoints on this, but I don't care. Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up ;--))
