| my sister had a thyroidectomy 1 1/2 years ago. since then if she becomes very upset or stressed she passes out. this morning she woke up and her hands were clenched into fists and she couldn't open them and it was extermely painful. the er doctor said it was a calcium deficiency, but she think her T4 levels are low. she is currently on synthroid, cytomel, and florinef. before her thyroidectomy she had a large goiter and all cancer screens came back negative even though they found the goiter to be cancerous. any help is greatly appreciated. |

We represent "Unauthorized Ad", an on-line company supplying customized vitamin supplements to the USA and we hope this information may be of interest to you.
Dr Balch's nutritional team has created a formula that contains important components necessary for optimal function of the thyroid gland. Vitamin C and the Vitamin B Complex 50 are important in thyroid health. They play key roles in the overall function of the immune system and the thyroid gland. Iodine in Bladderwrack Extract is essential for the creation of thyroid hormone (regulates growth, development and energy metabolism). L-Tyrosine is another key component of the thyroid hormone. Extra Zinc with Copper may also help to boost thyroid function, as studies have indicated that Zinc deficiency may be associated with hypothyroidism and Copper is needed for long-term use of Zinc.
Dr. Balch works with "Unauthorized Ad" to provide custom-made natural remedies for anyone who wants an all-in-one daily supplement that addresses all their health concerns, as well as providing the vitamins and minerals needed for optimum health and wellness. We include formula for 680 different health concerns in our database. |

I don't understand why you would recommend something to assist in creation of the thyroid hormone, or something to boost thyroid function, to someone the DOES NOT HAVE A THYROID GLAND. A THYROIDECTOMY means that the thyroid gland was REMOVED.
Seems to me like your advice is more like an advertisement - you apparently didn't even READ there questions or you would have caught on.
MY PROBLEM is, I am hypoactive due to having an thyroidectomy (I do not have a thyroid gland!). I take synthetic hormone replacement - Synthroid 200mcg - and have had it increased several times. I am still not having much luck with getting my TSH level to wear it needs to be (0,10 for a cancer survivor). I am aware that I may need to have my T3 level checked. I have bllod work in a few days to see if any progress was made since my last increase of synthroid. However, I wanted to know what kind of supplements I could take to help support my synthetic hormone replacement therapy and help my TSH level to get and stay where we want it to be.
Any advice?? YES, I KNOW ABOUT "Unauthorized Ad"! |
