This is really heartening - I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with Hashimoto's disease, and there is very little to be found on being "treated" without thyroxine. Well done you for standing your ground, and being an example to those of us who aren't so strong or knowledgeable to cut their own path! Fab news xxx
Fantastic news Reikiangel! I am so glad for you - well done for sticking to your guns!!
Gorseflower - Hashimoto's is usually to do with the body attacking the thyroid/thyroxine and it's a bit more difficult to stabilise without thyroxine. A herb, Gum Guggul, can help but not always.
That is fabulous news Reiki Angel well done you for sticking to what you knew was right for you. You are a courageous lady and an inspiration to us all.:)
Love and Light

I'm really pleased to report back that at my recent endocrine appointment I was told that I have no signs of thyrotoxicosis and that my F3 levels have halved!!! The Consultant is puzzled but happy that I continue to keep well. He doesn't want to see me now until October lol. I have emailed my homeopath with this info and she is really pleased and hopes that my case will make my GP and Consultant think twice before rushing people into surgery/long term medication. Let's hope so :).
Love and light

Wahey! :D:D:D
What remedies (homeopathic) did you take for your thyroid. I have a friend who has problems and is on very high doses of thyroxine - I've told her to go see a homeopath but she won't.
Would be interested to know so I could give her more amunition!
It sounds like she is unable to convert T4 to T3. For that she will need the right vitamins and minerals - see here - it would be useful for her to read all of this article to help her understand what's going on (this is p 5 of 7 pages).
The result that Reikiangel has had with homeopathy, is excellent. I suspect that she was only fairly borderline with the problem which was reversed energetically, but your friend is already on high doses of thyroxine indicating it is quite serious. The fact that she is still struggling means that it's not working but unfortunately current NHS testing is inadequate is assessing the function of T3 - mine is tested at labs in Belgium and i'm taking T3 along with T4 with vastly improved results.
There is a move to try and get the government to look again at thyroid assessment and treatment as there are so very many of us struggling with inadequate treatment - see in the full article above and elsewhere on the website.
Think it could have been genetic as her father had it - she is a big girl and was finding it very hard to lose weight - not sure if her meds have been changed but she seems that it's coming off now. She has other weird medical symptoms too like one side of her body going stiff - and no feeling- she's had all the scans etc but as yet nothing has been found. One Dr said it was in her mind! To which her parents went mad.

That would have made me furious!!! 😮
Whether it is genetic or no the balance and function of thyroid hormones must be right. Hashimoto's thyroiditis has a genetic element, but not all have the gene activated, and in research more and more gene activation is being found to have an underlying dietary element. A good [url]Nutritional Therapist [/url]should be able to help her in many ways.
That's wonderful to hear RA!
Also Janet, I would be mad as well if a doctor presumed it was in my head! 😡
Yes my friend was as was her mum - and she still has these weird episodes where one side of her body loses all feeling. She had one once driving to work and ended up being taken and kept in hospital for a week - that is when the Dr said after numerous test they could find nothing wrong and it could all be in her head.
Yet she still has them!
Fantastic news, Reikiangel! And thank you for sharing such a positive experience - it's encouraging for all. Your intuition and positive thinking, linked with practical homeopathic help is a winning combination - you are a star!
