Does that ...Radioactive iodine to kill the thyroid? Does that not sound extreme? You need to change your diet/body if you want to fix an overactive thyroid.<br /><br />normally, hyperthyroidism occurs once in while in everyone. No way you say!? Yes, when people have a flu/cold. In a cold/flu, the pituitary commands the thyroid to go into overdrive, attempting to make you body heat up and eliminate toxic waste as fast as possible from your body.<br /><br />So, if you understand this, you'll see that chronic hyperthyroidism is caused by similar things. Most of the time it is caused by re-regulate itself to improve elimination/detoxification.<br /><br />Thus, you need to look into your lifestyle and diet to fix hyperthyroidism, not radioactive iodine/surgery.<br /><br />I recommend you go into a detox diet. If you can purify your body, your thyroid will on it's own decrease it's activity.<br />1. alkalize your body. Eat oranges, fresh lemon juice, take a teaspoon of baking soda, drink kangen water. <br />2. improve the elimination aspect of your body. Eat more green leafy veggies like raw romaine lettuce. avoid carbonated beverages.<br />3. increase potassium consumption. eat the skin of boiled potatoes. Avoid the white starchy stuff. Avoid eating too much sodium.<br />4. stop drinking coffee. Coffee is an adrenal activator and thus does nothing but aggravates the thyroid to produce more hormones. It tries to put your body in emergency mode.<br />5. avoid stress and sleep more.<br />6. meditate and do yoga.<br /><br />Basically, what you want to do is move your body back from emergency mode to normal mode. If you do this, your thyroid will respond by reducing it's activity.Ramhttp://ramco123@live.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36270856.post-25452171364731214442010-09-04T15:39:09.860+09:002010-09-04T15:39:09.860+09:00oh man, what bad timing!! i hope everything goes ...oh man, what bad timing!! i hope everything goes smoothly from now on.<br /><br />i also hope that you and your husband improve in health. sounds like you're all so busy!illaheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109064612619771372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36270856.post-28946644643964016822010-09-04T06:18:28.332+09:002010-09-04T06:18:28.332+09:00Good morning Sarah,

And hopefully your condition will improve real soon. Nice to know it was just 3 normal looking pills. That would have been a relief for me. ; ) I would have been worrying...is it a yucky tasting liquid or? So phew...it was just 3 pills. I hope you get better and better.<br /><br />And OMG! I can't believe someone hit your "new" car. If that doesn't just beat all. Oh dear. I would have been a little upset over here and frustrated if that just happened to us (especially after knowing how badly your family really needed that new car) . Hopefully it gets fixed real soon.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427544303742999100noreply@blogger.com
