I have well water and believe it I have natural Euqafina spring water 20 minutes up the road. I usually conoe down their 3 or 4 times a year. I have a filter on the well water but I would hat not being able to drink spring water.

As for nuts that just nuts. Nuts have a natural ingredent containing silymarin, like milk thistle and asist your adrenals to bind T3. I guess for every good reason their is sure to be a bad reason.

I am going to do a Adrenal test shortly just need a little more money because I want to see where I am and what I can do. I feel with Synthroid your Adrnal is uslessly working overtime for T4 and this is causing problems.

Also, lack sodium is so much the reason for Goiters if your Adrenals pass them out through your urine then you never have enough sodium in your body. So, here's the thing if I had known that I would have asked for an Adrenal Test to see if that was the reason for the Goiter and hence might have changed my whole diagnosis. Here I am trying to fix the T3 and T4 and Adrenal and Hormone issue geeze. Got of the subject didn't I.

New here,  just wondering what kind of symtoms you all were getting from eating cashews?  I have only half a thyroid, but I eat cashews all the time, but they don't seem to cause any problems that I can tell, but all this is kinda of new for me.  Just started synthroid about 3 months ago.  You'll probably hear more from  me, I have a lot of questions.

Thanks

Sorry you feel this way. I still believe this site is to help each other not to influence the way we feel.
It will be good if it will be only in our heads, not in our bodies too.
I personally stopped eating cashews before reading this post because I realized it's something wrong. The post just confirmed what I was already feeling.

All i know is that when i went to the Endo last week, she told me not to eat large amounts of nuts. She didn't specify which kind....

However, she also suggested that I avoid eating seafood everyday (that's fine - not much of that out here on the Danube) and that I make sure to avoid the Iodine/Betadine solution at hospitals. The translation is a little rough, but I think she was saying because of a sudden, large amount of iodine in your system which may reek a little havoc on ya.

That's my two cents.

Ahhh the effects of the media on the "collective mind"... Today it's bottled water and cashews, tomorrow it's global warming and tennis shoe rubber in our urine...

SOMETHING will kill us all.  But then again, we could die of old age....  If we survive our thryoid issues, we should consider ourselves lucky and LIVE that "life" we've just snatched away from the brink!  

Take everything the media dishes up with a HUGE grain of salt, use all things in moderation, and move on with your lives.

Now if they publicized the "tennis shoe rubber in our urine" thing... run for your lives!!!!!!!!  Cause I totally just MADE THAT UP!
