Thank you for sharing your experience with Ayurveda—it’s always inspiring to hear success stories, especially when someone finds relief after struggling with persistent health issues. Your point about individualized treatment really resonates with me. So much of modern medicine, even in the alternative space, leans toward a one-size-fits-all approach, which often misses the root cause of imbalances. It’s refreshing to hear how Ayurveda has helped you address your specific needs rather than just masking symptoms. I’ve also dabbled in Ayurveda (alongside other holistic modalities), and wh ...

Hello all! I just wanted to share some good news in my hyperthyroid journey. I was diagnosed with Graves disease more than 10 years ago. The medication prescribed to me gave me debilitating headaches so I stopped taking them. Someone told me about http://ithyroid.com/ and tried taking the recommended vitamins as much as I can. In a year, my lab tests became normal. After a few years, I stopped taking any as my heart rate was normal and I did not have any more issues. When I had to live abroad, my heart started racing again. I could not obtain the vitamins I used b ...

iodine efficacy and fate, depends quite a bit on the dietary lipid intake profile. Physician / clinicians of yesteryear wrote about the then-known, fat-thyroid-iodine 3-way interaction. Those ingesting un-natural or altered or heated polyunsaturates regularly, will not do as well with I2 metabolism as would a person who avoids ”the wrong oils”. Yes !!   [End]

Dave, May I suggest you read up on Iodine. In the last 100 years a lot of research has been done on Iodine. You need to wake up and realize you’re sitting on the shoulders of the giants of past generations who have given you highly useful information, which too many self-appointed experts discard in favor of their preconceived ideas. Iodine supplementation is a necessity. However, Iodine is also a powerful stimulant that can easily give you symptoms of detoxification as well as insomnia which, in turn, can influence your thinking negatively. One big question is, how much Iodine ...

However I do not think that it is eggs and nuts which are the cause because I am certain that the cause is a very common bacterial infection. To put it into perspective, it is believed by the medical profession that 56% of people are infected by helicobacter pylori. I believe that there are other very similar bacteria to helicobacter which work in a very similar way but attack a different location, a location where no one looks. I believe that these are far ...

I haven’t been tested for leaky gut but I just figure I have it given I’ve suffered from an autoimmune disorder as well as anxiety for over 10 years now. I also used to eat terribly with lots of gluten. I only cut back on eggs and nuts because they can contribute to leaky gut and are part of the foods to eliminate when treating leaky gut, at least from what I gather. Like I said, I was already paleo so going the extra step to try and address leaky gut isn’t going to take a drastic change. I’d rather try and leave eggs and nuts out of my diet for a month or so just to see if it works.   [End]

Flaxseed oil has an inhibiting effect on some bacteria such as helicobacter. I think that I was drawn to it for that reason. You say that you have stopped eggs and nuts which are high protein and require stomach acid for digestion. Have you tested your stomach acid function? Have you had a test for helicobacter pylori? Helicobacter can cause Leaky Gut and it is not alone in doing that. Avoiding foods because you think that they cause Leaky Gut is not helping you because they are not causing Leaky Gut IMO. I don’t think that flaxseed oil causes Leaky Gut either but I doubt that it wil ...

Yeah, I have psoriasis and am having some thyroid problems as well which could potentially be Hashimoto’s. I’m actually trying to heal my leaky gut primarily because of my thyroid issues. I’ve already noticed a pretty substantial difference in how I feel since eliminating eggs, nuts, nightshades and other potential causes of leaky gut (I was already on a Paleo diet anyway). I also think the flaxseed oil has made me feel a bit better too, but like I said I don’t want to keep using it if it’s contributing to leaky gut. It’s really fish oil that gives me problems so I guess I’ll just try and ...

Flaxseed oil and Chia seeds are not really a good alternative to fish oil because although they contain Omega 3 oils the oils are far less effective and do not really provide enough of DHA. They need conversion to DHA and that can be very limited in some people. It might be worth you getting some pancreatin and take one capsule along with the oil to speed digestion. I use Now foods pancreatin to speed digestion of protein and fats which I take along with my protein. I use a powdered protein shake to speed up absorption, pea protein which is less reactive and add extra amino acids to rep ...

Well, I just bought a small bottle and haven’t used too much of it. Perhaps I’ll just use it up as long as it doesn’t cause more leaky gut, but point well taken. I guess I was just a bit worried about my Omega 3 intake as I don’t eat too much fish and don’t tolerate fish oil well...   [End]

Flaxseed oil degrades extremely quickly and is not recommended due to that effect. I have used it in the past and a lot of it was clearly off when I received it. It does not keep at all when extracted and heat makes it degrade quicker. The oil does have some effect on the bacteria which causes Leaky Gut. It does inhibit them. However inhibiting them is not what you need, you need to destroy them. Colloidal Silver such as MesoSilver and true colloidal silver might be the answer. Ionic silver should be avoided. You might be able to reduce ionic silver to form true colloidal silver if you ...

Nope no grains at all for leaky gut. Try a fruit only diet.   [End]

I agree with Grizz. You can’t rush detox without feeling bad. But you can go more slowly and control the symptoms.   [End]

Just curious if anybody knows whether sprouted (or soaked) chia seeds and flax seeds can help heal a leaky gut. I know nuts and seeds are supposed to be avoided during this time but it sounds like some people recommend them when soaked. Also does anybody know if you can take flax oil or does that have the same compounds in it that contribute to leaky gut since it’s a seed?   [End]

I suggest going back to the lower dosage for a few more months, or try pulse dosing the iodine once every 4 days. Have you tried the salt flushing? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IzFKo-r2-Nn8_z0KUrOhHdlanzSuhkuV3QO03XF6YTY/edit# Grizz   [End]

So I started iodine supplementation a couple months ago because I had symptoms that led me to believe I had a slow thyroid. The first 2 weeks I took 3mg and didn’t feel a difference. But the week after I was a different person. My metabolism picked up (pooped first thing very morning). My stomach was flatter. My energy picked up ALOT. didn’t need to nap in the middle of the day. And I slept so much better. And taking it made me feel awesome, more connected to myself and the world, like I was plugged in. (Kind of like shrooms or MDMA for those that understand) Week 4 I realized I ne ...

More along the lines of vitamin-D inactivated. Viruses and cell-wall-deficient bacteria produce protiens that block the vitamin--D-receptors on cell walls, so that the cell cannot take in the precursor to vitamin D, and then process it into 25-hydroxyvitamin-D which is what is measured in the blood. Basically if you get a blood test to measure the precursor of vitamin D in the blood, you are likely to find that high, but the end vitamin (meant to be self-manufactured) to be low. That means a blockage in the machinery, a golem in the gears. ;) (Source material, truth of vitamin D de ...

Hey everyone, 21M here. I just got my hands on the blood work that I had done. A quick background summary first..I have lots of issues with yeast infections and some psychological issues like chronic fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and lack of libido. There’s more to it but I’ll spare you the details unless you would like to know more. You can find additional info in my previous posts as well. I had a comp metabolic panel done, vitamin d, and testosterone levels taken (b/c of my varicocele). The notable levels from my blood work are posted below: ~TESTOSTERONE~ -Testosterone came ou ...

Hi about 6 years ago i have been diagnosis with Graves’ eye disease. i have only the eyes symptoms but not the other graves symptoms and normal blood work (TSH,T3,T4, antibodies). the doctor told me that sometimes the ”full” graves disease occur some years after the eyes symptoms. the funny thing is that i have Wilson’s temperature syndrome, my temperature in the morning is usually 97. i tried iodine supplement but can’t tolerate iodine from supplement, it make my eyes symptoms worse and also throat pain and fatigue. even 50 mcg cuse me that. (i tried different types of iod ...

I’m leery of the blood tests results, too but I asked them to send them to me so I have them. That part is particularly frustrating when you do go for blood work and yet can’t be confident with the results. My diet is pretty healthy. Gluten only on occasion but not hardly now. Lots of raw foods with some cooked but I do make Kimchee with cabbage. Thinking that is a cruciferous vegetable and that they’re not good for people with thyroid issues. Will check on that. Thanks for your thoughts.   [End]

I had a TSH and T4 test every year and they always told me it was normal. In that time I just got more and more tired and the goiters on my thyroid got bigger and more numerous. The tests are worthless in my opinion. I finally started taking Iodine. Now I am at 50 MG a day but considering raising it. I studied iodine and the thyroid in depth. It is basically impossible to take too much iodine. The body is designed to eliminate any excess almost immediately. I would suggest you look at the food you eat. I don’t know the details but some vegies actually irritate the thyroid. Cru ...

Thank you for the information from you all. It might be more than I should try to figure out on my own. I know Dr Brownstein’s office is 3 hours away and thinking maybe I should make an appointment. Not sure the Dr.’s here in Columbus/Mansfield,Ohio area would be so helpful. My family Dr. isn’t skilled in this area I know. But, they did do a blood test for me and left a message on which tests they ran on my thyroid but the message had static so I have a call back in for clarification but I think she said they did a Thyroid antibody TSH and a Free T4. All normal. But, hope to be sure wh ...
