Hypothyroidism Update



Even Oprah suffers from a thyroid condition!!

Tis the season to feel cold & I think anyone who's hypothyroid feels the cold much more than the average person. I'm always turning up the heater at work! Plus I definitely suffer from much drier skin in winter too which I put partly down to thyroid disease.
Diet stalled over Christmas but thankfully didn't gain any weight so have lost a total of 5.5kg & down to UK size 12 & 70kg (I'm 5'9") which is great. Had to buy some new trousers as old ones were hanging off my hips (great look if you're a 16 year old skinnimalink but not for a 38 year old mother of 2!)
Another 2-3 kg would be ideal so back on the straight & narrow this week...no more choccies!
Taking 175 or 200mg of Thyroxine at the moment (slightly dependent on how I feel in the mornings)& everything quite stable, thyroid blood test ok.
Keeping it sensible - eating less, making sure I get regular exercise, cuting back on alcohol & sweet things, eating fruit or a diet yoghurt if I need something extra instead of biscuits - keeping my thyroid levels in check too & slowly the weight is coming off & the self confidence boost with being slimmer is just amazing!

HI, I would like to share my exp with you all suffering from thyroid.

I have had
SEVERELY low thyroid for nearly two years now , I did NOT want to end up taking
Synthroid. When came to know about VCO (Virgin coconut oil ) from my friend, I was so
excited to try the Coconut Oil. I took 3 tablespoons a day and within two months, I
returned to my physician and she just couldn't believe that EVERYTHING on my tests
was once again normal! She was so enthused that she has prescribed your product to
three other thyroid patients since then. Your product took me out of the doom and
gloom I suffered for so very long! My muscles have returned to normal... The
depression, hoarse voice, swollen face/eyes and all my other symptoms have
disappeared! there are many brand available in market you need to choose the right
one I have been using MeritVCO. Manufactured by www.excelcombine.com

I never took synthetic products. I always trusted on the natural healing power of nature. That is why I keep on taking natural porcine thyroid for my low thyroid condition. Natural supplements truly helps.
