Last time I posted about covid side effects is when the clot shot killed my father-in-law. As if we're all not sick to death of discussing this topic here it goes again:
Tonight after work I received a forwarded email regarding my great niece's new dx of Hasimoto's thyroid disease. The kid is 12.
It's the same story you're familiar with...moronic parents vaxx the kid, kid starts having problems immediately...doctors are "baffled," numerous tests and bullshit ensue, now this dx and a statement that it's fine because "most" people do fine as long as they take meds for it for the rest of their life. (I'm sure the "treatment" isn't free either.) These fucking morons knew there was at minimum controversy about this jab because I sent them everything I got my hands on.
There's so much more, but I don't have the energy to type it. I also have other former family members that had to have their covid participation badge and now they can hardly function and still say they're so glad... etc.
I don't know what Q, Trump and Co. had planned for the medical/pharmaceutical community, but I am wondering when we're going to see the cures. As a society I don't know how we will be able to take care of all the people injured and disabled by this shit. And I don't know how humanity will ever be able to function with so many stupid people around.
Don't think I'm dooming, I'm not, or fuck, maybe I am. I don't know anymore. I just feel like I'm in the goddamn twilight zone.
Hey Mac. Thx for the direction…dad has thyroid issues. What are your thots/research re: synthroid? Also, does your research indicate iodine contrast a possible precursor to T issues?
Hope ur feeling well.
Endocrinology is a mixed bag that most clinicians are confused by. Those rotations in residency are not well received and are often completed to check the box to move on to more exciting specialties. The glands of the endocrine system work on axis with each other and the brain. One gland cannot be dealt without considering the others to effectively treat the imbalance. Therefore, there is not an easy straightforward answer - at least not if a clinician is being honest. Years ago, when I was trying to diagnose my own issues, I fired a very highly credentialed endocrinologist for basically being full of crap. I have had to figure most of it out on my own and then had to find someone willing to work with me on it.
No two cases of thyroid dysfunction are identical. Run of the mill low thyroid function can sometimes be corrected by diet and supplements. Autoimmune thyroid is a whole different ball game. Educate yourself. Brownstein is a good place to start. Do not incorporate any iodine therapy until doing some homework. Endocrine balance is tricky business. That is why traditional allopathic methods are not good at restoring function in an optimal way.
Not a fan of Synthroid. There are studies that indicate osteoporosis issues after long term use. But, if someone is going to take Rx T4 replacement, Synthroid is better than generics. It is one of the few meds that does not have adequate generic equivalency. In some cases, T4 replacement may not be sufficient, like in my case. T4 does not always convert into active T3 efficiently. For average hypo conditions, T4 is sufficient to get someone's TSH levels within normal limits. But, if TSH is around 2 and there are still symptoms, there may be conversion or uptake issues. Glandular thyroid can add the missing T1 and T2 that are not well understood. Glandular thyroid however is problematic for autoimmune thyroid and can increase antibody levels. The immune complexes created with autoimmune thyroid can put stress on detoxication pathways like the kidneys - something that is severely downplayed when dealing with autoimmune conditions.
Sorry there is not a more straightforward answer for you. Praying all is well with you.
T/u for the info. As usual you make my brain hurt…lol. How do you feel about algae as a supplement? Assuming it’s not Fukushima-ed or is it all compromised?
Anyhoo…we are well. Blessings to you and yours.
When it comes to food type supplements, like algae, my recommendations have always been to rotate. Spirulina, algae, and other ocean based plants like chlorella, are good for detoxification - but I am not a fan of constant use. That way if there is some question as to contamination, you give the body a chance to clear it. Research product quality.
I am a big fan of green stuff and the use of medicinal mushrooms. Just the same as it is not a good idea to have a diet consisting of the same foods every day, these types of food based supplements should not be consumed this way either. More benefit is derived by rotation of different types.
Anything coming out of the ocean any more is a crap shoot. I usually do not consume products from the Pacific. Between the plastics and Fukushima, I will take a pass.
