Good Website?

Hey, stumbled across a website that offers an all-natural cure to hypothyroidism.

http://www.nomorehypothyroid.com

I was wondering if anyone has been to this website or has purchased this ebook? I am not a fan of Western medicine and the treatment options that have been offered by the Doctors I have seen - and so this ebook was very refreshing. Comes with a guarantee as well so I will probably just purchase, but I still wanted to ask if anyone has purchased this to please give me their feedback on the book.

Also, is anyone out there trying any all natural cures for hypthyroidism?

Thanks so much for your responses.

This thread is very old and it is unlikely that you will get any response form the original poster.  I did check and confirm that the website he touted is not available, whatever that means.  

If you would like, there are a number of experienced and knowledgeable members who will be happy to try and help you understand your thyroid situation.  If interested, please start by posting reference ranges shown on the lab report for those test results.  Also, when were they done?   How much thyroxine were you taking?  Are you back on thyroxine?  If you want to do some reading about diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism from a patient's perspective, I suggest reading at least the first two page of the following link, and more if you want to get into the discussion and scientific evidence for all that is recommended.

I note your post was a few years ago. Did you try it?

My TSH is 14, T4L 14.6 pmol/L and T3L 4 pmol/L

I feel tired and can't sleep but otherwise barely notice anything. But the lack of sleep and tiredness doing yoga is really bothering me.

I went to a nutritionist and he put me on a special diet for three months and then tried to wean me off thyroxine by slowly reducing the amount and then every second day taking a natural thyroid supplement called tiryosina and zinc tablets.

Stupidly I went off everything over Christmas and my levels went up.

I'd be interested to know if this book helped you.

I would have to tend to agree with LazyMoose on this one.  As was stated early on:

If it seems too good to be true.......................

LazyMoose is also correct in saying that a "cure" indicates that the thyroid will actually be repaired; however, once damaged, those cells can not be regenerated.  The damage is permanent.  

We would all love to find something that could make our symptoms go away and we could stop taking med, but we have to use common sense here as well.  Yes, there are supplements that may help, but not to "cure" the disease.  

I'd also like to point out:  I find it rather interesting that Mathew456 has not posted again since his latest "pitch" on Nov 27.  If he's doing so well on this protocol, why not share the good news??

Sorry for calling you cynical! I read the thread in full before posting and I do get what you're saying.

I'm still interested in Mathew's experiences though. We can't really know whether he's for real or not, we can only make up our own minds how we choose to respond to him, and each other. I'm interested to hear how he gets on with the regime he says he's trying out.

with warm respect

Long threads can be interpreted differently when parts are taken out of context and the first posting / question is not kept in mind.

Regarding the use of the word 'CURE', in the very first line of the original post, is my whole point. Maybe some did not 'get that'.

The fact that the wording in his second response was extremely similar to several sites selling the product at the time seems a little to coincidental and obvious. There are 'cures' offered for many ills on the web that gullible people (victims!) pay for and find out they are not cures for diseases, but suggested supplements already sitting on the shelves at their local supplement store or grocery store.

'CURE' means just that - you have returned to full health and your ills have diminished without taking anything more for it forever.    **Will the program  repair a  thyroid gland physically damaged from antibodies which is the reason for hypothyroidism in Hoshimotos?*** No it will not. Most informed people with thyroid issues take supplements that help support the body, it helps, but wont cure us. I'm all for supplements, but not some sales pitch mislabeling it as a 'cure', that is the point.

A 'cure' would have to physically repair a damaged thyroid - good luck with all that for $40. Common sense applies here.

If this is a sales pitch to cure my damaged thyroid, (phrasing and claims very similar to a web site selling this product, like the same person wrote it), what a prefect location for it. Brilliant marketing. All to common.

And let us not forget that some cases of 'hypothyroid' symptoms can be  symptoms of other illnesses, diseases or bodily infections that can temporarily effect the thyroid, as it is a very fragile organ. This is different than true hypothyroidism disease.

I've been seeing a naturopath for about 2 years. the first year I lost a load of weight, looked great, cleared my acne rosacea and generally felt I was on a good track. This was all before i was diagnosed hypothyroid, I went to see her primarily because I wanted my skin sorted but also to see if she could do anything for my energy levels which I've pretty much always struggled with.

this year my health has started to go down hill a bit, I'm signed off work and have gained a bit of weight, it's difficult not to feel a bit glum about it sometimes.

I'm fascinated by the power of natural remedies, healing consciousness and being smart about diet and exercise.

I absolutely hated this website's very salesy tone but if you're finding it useful to have the book and are seeing good results I for one would be very interested to hear more about how you get on with it.

I don't agree with LM's cynical view that you're a sneaky disguised sales person! Please don't be put off sharing - your experiences might help someone else

The internet can be an interesting place in time where truth and goodwilled assumptions can collide in great void spared of all matter.

So that said, your seriously sound like somebody trying to pedal a product on this forum. I mean you totally re-summed their sales page for the E-book!!!

If this is a mere coincidence, coincidences happen, then excuse my accusations. I have, unfortunately seen this many times, it gets old.

"Wow I had no clue that people were responding to my original post - is there anyway to get some sort of email notification if there are conversations happenings?"
---Yes, you should be receiving e-mails from med-help to the e-mail address used when you joined when there is activity from four posting.


"I mentioned and i'm not going to go into detail - just that they are lifestyle plans to help you rid yourself of your hypothyroid."

-Well that is the part we would like to hear about. So it claims to 'help' you rid yourself of hypo. They dont actualy say they have a cure after all - correct? So its good, but misleadingly advertised it sounds.

At least its informational for someone new to this. Also there are many experienced people here that can answer almost anything related to your condition, things that your doctor could be uniformed about as well. If your doctor gives you a bad vibe as you acquire new knowledge of thyroidism, find a new doc.

That's a different subject I guess. Thank you for your great feedback guys! I did actually go ahead and purchase the book a couple days after posting my original inquiry and you'll probably be pretty surprised to hear that I'm actually super happy about the purchase!

Its not some hooky hypothyroid miracle cure with false claims and exaggerated testimonials. Instead it actually is a wealth of knowledge on hypothyroidism and some different ways to combat it depending on what you are suffering from. I even learned about a couple of different blood tests that I needed to take that I was unaware of before.

So in a nutshell ill try to explain what the books about - the first few chapters define what hypothyroidism is and how it works exactly as well as the different types that are out there and how to know what exactly you are dealing with. It also talks about what causes the different types and how to test for which one you have and even gets into reading your test results - very cool stuff! This is where I learned about a couple of blood tests that I originally did not have done and my doctor failed to mention to me.

Then the book explains the different options you have to treating hypothyroidism - the ones we've all heard before - ie the Western medical solutions. This is an interlude into the natural remedies that are available. The various natural remedies are discussed as well as how and why they help and depending on what type of hypothyroidism you are diagnosed with how they can help you specifically.

Then it goes into a section called 'bringing it all together' which is an extensive diet and nutritional plan for combating this disease. It is by no means a piece of cake, but thats part of the reason it has given me so much hope. There is just so much information about what to do and why to do it. The plan has 4 phases - the first being a detox to rid your body of some of the chemicals that are not helping your thyroid. The next 3 depend on the type of hypothyroidism you are suffering from and are very extensive as I mentioned and i'm not going to go into detail - just that they are lifestyle plans to help you rid yourself of your hypothyroid.

The last few chapters expand even more on foods to avoid and also the importance of exercise and a healthy lifestyle - which is something we all know obviously, but the nice thing is that it gives you some realistic goals and helps motivate you to reach them. The last thing it touches on is the number 1 cause of most all diseases in the world today - stress. I love this chapter as I am a firm believer in the power of our mind and thoughts and how they affect us on a biological level. The final chapter gives some great tips and techniques to fight stress - which in my opinion will be the most important part of the healing process.

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know what I thought of the book. I just started the program and am about 3 weeks in - still on the detox. I will keep you posted on how things are coming along. Maybe its all mental, but I am already feeling a lot better mood wise - there has been a little weight change - nothing major (3 lbs) but I have a very optimistic outlook on how this will turn out.

Thanks for listening guys, if anyone else decides to try this please get in touch with me or reply here to let me know how it is going!!

Thanks again folks.

I think anything that promises to "cure" Hashimoto's or bring your thyroid back to life is most likely a hoax.  While good diet and exercise are always beneficial, they are not going to cure your thyroid issues.  

When you have Hashimoto's, the antibodies are attacking and killing your thyroid -- once the tissue is dead, you aren't going to be able to bring it back to life again.

The topic of celic related to thyroid can be found here a few months ago, if you look back. There is a lot of auto immune of stuff related to the digestive tract, or really, what modern man puts into the digestive tract, such as corn starch, fluoride, heavy metals, and plastic off gassing. Those are not theories, but stuff that should not to be in our bodies, and the info and facts are starting to become endless - look at all auto immune diseases increasing in modern societies and our over weight children.  Its a very interesting thread if you look for it. I think it started out as a thread about Marshal Protocol.

***You did not mention if your wife has auto immune thyroid (hoshi, graves), or just a slow thyroid?*** Which one?

"Her numbers are near normal" - thyroid lab #'s you mean?

Let us know of here progress.

My wife is seeing a great naturepath. Her doctor told her that 90% of the thyroid patients she sees have an underlying gluten intolerance. So she has also taken a recommended food allergy panel with which she found 38 food allergies! Now she is on a 4 day rotation diet to remove dietary antagonists and inflammation. Her numbers are near normal and she now takes very tiny amounts of compounded meds. Her mother is celiac and also has thyroid difficulties. You should read up on celiac complications, Mayo website etc. and connect the dots.

I have seen many cures for hypothyroidism/Hashi including Low Dose Nexatrone (spelling?) and the Marshall Protocol.

If you do LDN, you can't do certain asthma sterroids, so I don't qualify.

The Marshall Protocol requires that you stay out of the sun - special sunglasses and window shades. They claim Vitamin D is a bacteria. I feel awful when my D is low, so I can't go that route.

I have tried some products from Jernigan's Neutraceuticals that seem to help. The Yeast Ease has completely eliminated my mouth thrush. No medicine the doctors gave me would get rid of it. I take their Virogen at the first sign of a cold, and I feel better after a few hours.

However, nothing has helped me more than my thyroid medication.

Also, I have read that if you are hypo, and your levels still aren't up to where they need to be, that taking too many vitamins will result in your body storing the vitamins, which can make you sick.

Well $37 is only 2 months worth of desicated, so the cost is cheap.  I am all for finding the cause of auto-immune anti-bodies, remember there were several posts on the possible causes last month - I think you might have been in the conversation, I dont remember (still some brain fog!).

Fact is a lot of these 'cure' books (there are several for every illness on the web) just offer advice and good general diet which most know about already. Depending how beat up the thyrioid is would determine its rejuvenation time, if possible. Organs are made of 'smooth muscle' and do not heal like 'muscle' muscles do, like lung damage from smoking, or a damaged heart from a heart attack. A thyroid can get better such as lessening inflammation, but to a certain extent, once the damage is done its done.

Now if they can find the cause of autoimmune and I believe there are several, then grow new thyroids from stem cells, we'll be set.

This guy lives in my city and is a naturopath. Not a doctor. Whilst a naturopath CAN help you feel better you can not cure any illness by them.
  Hypothyroidism is NOT something to play with. Sure if you feel fat and you are sluggish and your diet is **** then of course, doing what he says may help you. BUT if you have HYPOthyroidism then you can do all he says and still feel  LOUSY! It's cause the body is having hormonal trouble not a diet or lifestyle trouble.
  Whilst I am sure he thinks he is helping people by offering his advice, and many probably do great. A clinical diagnosis of hypothyroidism is generally not something to take lightly. I have included his link to his Aussie site.
I MUST stress that you can not overcome hypothyroidism in the sense of just doing as he advises  (diet, herbal remedies etc) You CAN use these to help you but you will NOT cure it! Pleased be warned.

Anti-bodies will not be cured by diet. Even when the thyroid is removed many people still have high anti-bodies. ( I am one of them and I saw a Naturopath and changed my diet etc, feel slightly better but was not to lower my anti-bodies when I saw him!)
  Anti-bodies are in at a cellular level. It is a complex networking of brain chemicals, cell rejection and molecular complexities. I do not see how his book claims to be able cure that! You might feel better having a better diet, which will of course help deal with the problem. Which is always a good thing.

I am not saying he is a rip off artist, he seems to be quite genuine in his wanting to help. But NEVER just assume that was a nice guy says is the ideal for your treatment. Very few people are able to get off their medication. It happens due to a small percentage of people needing the thyroxine for a short time to basically kick start their thryoids. This is NOT the norm.

If it sounds too good to be true...

The "human clinical trials underway" have to do with type 1 diabetes.  I notice that neither Hashi's nor Grave's is even on the list of future endeavors.  Apparently, other autoimmune diseases are much more important.

I have to disagree with needing to get a new thyroid due to damage from hashimoto's disease.. I've read the thyroid gland regenerates and can self heal.. If you get rid of the autoimmune disease attacking it, give it time and treat it good with the right diet then it can function again..

This is exactly why i am interested in anything that gets my antibodies down to the bare minimum the less it attacks my thyroid gland the more potential my thyroid gland has to recover if and when they find a cure to autoimmune disease "there are already human clinical trials underway" which i'm so excited about :)

I'm going to go ahead and get it because it says even if it CAN'T cure hypothyroidism for whatever reasons "which it states there are only a few reasons that it can't cure it" then at the very least will give you a good diet and excercise plan to enhance your life even with hypothyroidism.  It states that you can continue whatever medication that you are already on and it works with it and that eventually you'll wean off of the T4 meds because you will rid your body of antibodies and improve your own thyroid function and the meds will eventually be too much... I'll let you all know how i make out on it.. It gives you your money back if you're not satisfied so it's worth it to me and the book is only $37 I've spent more than that on dumber things and at the very least it will provide me with some helpful tips on living better with my disease....

Couldnt get the link to work.

I suppose if your thyroid is just slow there could possibly be something to reverse it, but I think all would know by now. Good secrets and cures don't remain unknown for long.

In the case of Hoshimoto's disease, the thyroid is physicaly damaged from the anti-bodies atacking it. A cure would not be possible unless the thyroid was replaced.

There's a 99.9% chance your looking at 'snake oil'.
