I take Armour thyroid and have had the best success with it. Definitely monitor your temp. As far as Armour not being standardized, I've heard that excuse from my doctor as well. The truth is here:
http://thyroid.about.com/b/2009/01/27/the-desiccated-thyroid-controversy-why-endocrinologists-dont-like-armour-thyroid.htm
My temp was 96.1 as well, Ramona, but I took mine during the day, when it should have been between 98.6 to 99. My pulse was 52! (Indicative of adrenal issues) Yet, my TSH tests were in the "normal" range.

Also, in 2003, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists suggested the new TSH range to measure for thyroid issues be changed to 0.3 to 3.0. Yet in the last 9 years I've only had ONE lab use that range. Still, I feel best at .5 to .8, with relief of most hypo symptoms and no hyper symptoms. When my levels are at 2.25, I cannot get out of bed.
Fortunately, I found a doctor who takes my symptoms into consideration as well as numbers.

I would also like to suggest you test your adrenals as well. An easy way is to take your resting pulse rate. Sometimes treating your thyroid without treating low adrenals will get you nowhere. Even the Physician's Desk Reference states it can lead to death! Yet, not once has a doctor tested my adrenals. We must educate ourselves and take our health into our own hands. I have switched doctors several times for not listening to my wishes or symptoms. I insist on having a doctor who will work WITH me, and remember, they work FOR you!

I always got the same response from the blood tests alone, but according to my holistic doctor, there can still be thyroid issues even if the blood test numbers are in range. I would get an old fashioned mercury thermometer and take your temperature every morning for about 4-5 days and record it. Do it before you even get out of bed in the morning. I believe that normal body temp when you've been sleeping is about 97.4 or so. Mine was in the 96 range, which indicates a very low thyroid function.

I have many of the symptoms of hypo thyroid, but my doc says its
fine. They tested the TSH level and it was 1.99. Can anyone give me
some insight on this?

Iodine can reverse fibercystic breast disease and he treated his own father for hypertension, high cholesterol, angine of 20 years and obesity with just a few nutrients and natural hormones. He says the US RDA for iodine is 150 mcg when our body really needs at least 12.5/day. He has a breakdown of how much each tissue uses...thyroid, breast and prostate tissue require a lot of iodine and women have higher requirements because of the amount of breast tissue they have. He himself takes 100 mg/day for his own health.

Our body has no use for bromine, but if we don't have the right iodine levels, bromine will be taken up by the tissues that use iodine if iodine is not available. They are in the same group on the periodic chart...called the Halides. Flouride and Chloride are there too.

The reason I ask is that I've always wondered if someone newly diagnosed could try the Lyme protocol of Dr Hill (3 weeks of 3 drops Onguard; 3 drops Cassia; 3 drops Oregano 3 X daily) and dropping all forms of wheat during that 3 weeks to see if that made a difference. My curiosity stems from a couple of theories different doctors have proposed but research wasn't done: the cell structure of wheat being similar to that of our thyroid cells and that a virus triggered the bodies reaction.

For me it usually means a nodule is expanding. (Mine fluctuate in size based on how my thyroid is doing).
> >>> Can oils heal the thyroid? I believe they can if caught as early as yours is. I'd try the protocols and monitor your symptoms and see how it goes. If you ever have to go on meds I strongly recommend the natural thyroid like Armour even if many docs won't prescribe it. As for how long, I don't have any idea. With the prescription it is for life. Even if you have to use the oils daily for life it would be much better than the prescription.

I was recently told that this was impossible, that you can only control symptoms, not heal the thyroid. I don't believe this, I think this is what many doctors tell their patients, and I refuse to buy into that. So, I'm looking for any testimonials or experiences with oils or other holistic and diet measures that people have taken to heal their thyroid. So far, I have completely changed my diet. I eat everything whole food and most organic. I have increased my fat intake (good fats like coconut oil) a lot. I don't eat anything processed, have cut dairy and grains (especially wheat) and the only sweeteners I have are a bit of fruit every day. I have been trying to do the oil protocol mentioned on the site, but I think I need to make up some rollerbottles to make multiple applications a day easier. I have completed the GX assist and PB assist protocol several times (each a few months apart), although I try and do the PB assist all the time, when I'm not doing the GX assist. I take the LLV and I also use the terrazyme. I know that it will take time, but I would love some stories or examples of how long I can plan on. Thanks in advance for any information.
