Just wondering, how can you tell if you are getting good results or not>?

Have you had testing done? I wonder if I can tell if mine are better or not

I had a blood test after taking Bach Flowers and it was in a perfect range. I'm also feeling better physically.

yes, I started on synthroid then switched to armour and then switched back to one 90 mg synthroid - then my endocrinologist suggested adding cytamel to the mix. I think you hit the nail on the head: trust .... whom do you trust... for now I am taking the pharma meds but look forward to healing the imbalance. btw - check out www.Shentrition.com - I think they know more about healing than my endocrinologist.

Fear can cause too much cortisol secretion and affects the adrenals and thyroid negatively. We must be in a place of peace and safety to heal. We do have to believe that we can heal and that what we are using is healing for us. With that said for thyroid take 3000mg of L-Tyrosine with Kelp (iodine) and a B vitamin complex as a cofactor on an empty stomach so that the Amino acid can cross the blood brain barrier. Drink as little or no caffeine as possible and do this for a wek or so and see what happens :)

BTW take rhodiola rosea for its adaptogenic qualities for trauma and fear this will help the cortisol problem. So will phosphatidylserine. its great for lowering cortisol and will actually get rid of belly fat (which is a key indicator of stress)

Do you know of a lot of people who have used this and it worked- or did it work for you?

Thanks I'll check them out. btw - I listened to an interesting radio program on Dr. Oz's XM radio program as several guests named ashwagandha the "Number 1" herb for calming effects.

Thanks for your info on L-Tyrosine and Kelp and the cautionary words about caffeine.
btw - Life Extension has two iodine products that look interesting. I haven't tried them yet.

It looks intruiging. How long did you take it before you noticed a difference? What are your main thyroid symptoms?

I heard about Bach Flowers years ago but recently decided to check them out after a google search. I think Bach Flowers helped dissipate the thyroid symptoms of brain fog and sensitivity to cold weather. I just add 4 drops to a glass a water or cup of tea and
try to take it a few times a day. Here it is late September and the cool weather isn't bothering me like it did for years.
