Check out a product called Natural Calm - it's a mix you add to water and is highly bioavailable to your cells. Oh, and it's tasty, too! (Not like Milk of Magnesia :) |

It's better then living with the problem or dying and it didn't hurt or anything. It's just a big Nuke pill you have to go into a shielded room and the worse part of that is it was down in the basement of the hospital in my case by the morgue (seriously) and the people are in those protective suits but then you just go home or a hotel or where ever because for 48 hours you are not supposed to be in close contact, i.e., in the same bed or shower with your family. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1388289Please, please try it. Give it a month of your life and see if it helps your illness. God bless you. The past 2 weeks i went to NOTHING processed.I am eating lots of fruit,lean protein,veggies.I lost 15 lbs.I will see if there is any aspartame in any of the stuff in the cupboard.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1415063 United States 06/09/2011 10:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My old landlord didn't get his Grave's treated and his eyeball popped out. I don't have Grave's but my mom does, she had the option of getting her thyroid surgically removed or destroyed with nuclear medicine. She opted for the latter and is now doing fine, taking synthetic thyroid hormone. You need to go to a DR. Naturopathic, MD, DO, whatever, ASAP. |

[link to www.iodine4health.com] [link to www.earthclinic.com] 01/25/2010: Barry Richardson from Melbourne, Vic Australia writes: "My wife took 4 drops of bugelweed (orally) every day for nearly two years (2006 -2008) in order to treat and eventually "cure" Grave's disease. During those years she increased and decreased the dose to check for changes in the symptoms which were -- increased heart rate (at night especially) sleeplessness, and agressiveness/intolerance. She increased or decreased the dose accordingly. That was nearly 3 years ago and she's now clear. Our GP had not heard of it and a specialist advised against its use. Dr Barry Richardson" |

User ID: 881031 United States 06/10/2011 12:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've had it for years. I didnt want any of the treatments for it. Whatever the cutters and poisoners will do for it, your body will do naturally over time. I felt better about trying to control my symptoms, which were FUCKING HORRIBLE than more radioactive shit in my body, which is what i think caused it in the first place. Which poisoners told me that my Gamma knife brain surgery had absolutely nothing to do with my hair falling out where it was directed and nothing to do with getting graves disease a year later. maybe it didnt but i think there's at least a chance it did.It supposed to run in families but no one has had it mine. I got the lovely eye pop out disease along with it which was very painful and socially embarrassing. i still have it, but it has subsided considerably. Although yesterday i was at the store and a kid said - that lady has big eyeballs! as she passed. sigh! But one thing I found out thru my own research, i couldnt BELIEVE nobody told me this - is that "fixing" the thyroid doesn't fix the eyes! they go hand in hand but are separate goddamn diseases. graves can be fatal untreated because it can cause Thyroid Storm. Dont want that! But they are extremely rare. I have never gotten one - I was doing lots of meth when I was diagnosed, and kept doing it for years, and if that didnt bring one one i dont know what will. But coulda been dumb luck. Very dumb! Try taking anti thyroid med first. that cures some people. But no way around that its a miserable disease, but its rarely fatal - a nice feature I'd say, and find out about what to eat and not, most dangerous thing is out of control blood pressure - i took med. for that. And once its burned out, either medically, or through time, prepare for Hypothyroidism! Woot! |
