Can you take this and taper off Levothroid and or synthetic thyroid medication?

as n2flip said, iodine does not replace the thyroxin supplement; iodine is a material that may help those with low thyroid process the thyroid supplement better. On the subject of "natural" versus synthetic thyroid replacement hormone, some people do better on the Armour type, some (like me) do much better on Synthroid. "Synthetic" does not mean evil & "natural" is not automatically perfect for everyone. Different people have different physiologies and respond differently to a given med; each person needs to find which works best with his/her own body. Any medicine has side effects for some people. as n2flip said, iodine does not replace the thyroxin supplement; iodine is a material that may help those with low thyroid process the thyroid supplement better.

No, this does not take the place of thyroid medication. However, I will urge you to try natural thyroid meds like Armour or Naturethroid. The synthetics are nasty and have long term side effects. I highly recommend you read more about the benefit of natural thyroid meds on sites like Stop the Thyroid Madness.

The equipment is set for 30 minutes. You can reduce the amount of time. I don't know if you can set it higher. I haven't tried. I wouldn't advise it, though, as detoxing too much too fast can make you sick. It is an excellent unit. I am very pleased with it. The seller offers 1 free consult from a professional about its use.

Nor should you ever take ANYTHING without exploring the ingredients. From what I remember, the listing of all herbal ingredients within Dr. Christopher's Thyroid Formula (and all of his formulas) are listed right within the description of the product on the Amazon site. You can, then, note each of the herbal ingredients and Google search them in order to determine for yourself what their properties are and how they may help your condition. I am not associated with Dr. Christopher's company or their products. I am just a devoted consumer of many of the doctor's line up of products.

As someone who had her thyroid removed a few years ago, my doctor recommended that I take 2 pills a day to keep my iron level up. It worked. I have so much energy and is very regular as well as my skin feels pretty smooth. I'm now down to one a day. Just like the apple, it has kept the doctor away.

I take two capsules daily and honestly have had no side effects at all. Sometimes I take with food or without. I have noticed more energy taking the R-Lipoic. Are your thyroid functions normal? I hope you find out what the cause is but I am fine on this supplement. Sorry I could not help more.

Everyone is different . Mine was the first week i started feeling less tired. I was re-tested after being on this for over six months and my thyroid is normal. Very pleased with this product.

Hi, Danny. Only 2 ingredients, Potassium Iodide, and purified water. Works very well. You only need a minute amount of iodine each day for your thyroid to work better.

Hi Scott, I am not qualified to recommend how anyone else uses this supplement. I know a cancer survivor who used it for a while. I use it daily and plan to do so until I don't feel I need it. I researched it made my own decision. I tapered up until I felt my system was getting enough. Diarrhea is how some people determine they have enough. I feel that it is very helpful to me. I do take it on an empty stomach. No issues with long-term use that I have read about. Best wishes, Lynne

I'm sorry Big Tank, I only use this unit for foot detoxing only. That I can talk about. :) You need an electronic expert.

Hi Danielle,Yes, that is the best way to use MetaDerm when you have been using steroids. If you can give MetaDerm some time to start helping your skin, and then start tapering off of steroids, that is the best idea. Just please apply MetaDerm first so that it has a chance to work and is not 'blocked' by another product.Sincerely,Liz SuttonHaus Bioceuticals

No no weight gain, but you do get energy. I take 2 capsules in the morning and am set for the day. I do notice the energy change, and your outlook is better too. I have no thyroid and always have a weight problem I am made of lead I think.

You'd have to manually reset the timing interval between each dosage. It's not going to automatically recur each time. But if you're okay with that, certainly.

I take this with a combination of other liquid and powered supplements. I have reduced my cholestral and feel much better! If you don't take the concoction for 2 or 3 days I become sluggish in many ways. Follow the dosage directions, too much will cause a cleansing that you did not expect!

Soy doesn't contribute or cause thyroid problems, it interferes with the medication dosage so your physician needs to know.I haven't tried rice milk yet

This is a tough one....why? because some people says it does while others says no it doesn't.....that being said...if you go on a website called Thyroidabout.com, you will see an article there that says that almost every otc thyroid supplement tested contained t3/t4 some in smaller amounts while some had very high amounts....bottom line....go with how you feel ....that's what I do with any supplement for that matter. Hope this helps......
