I went hypothyroid in 2010. My doctor wanted to put me on Synthroid, but I refused because all of my friends who take that have lost most of their hair and that which has remained is white. Over four months of research and trial and error, I figured out the natural way to cure hypothyroidism: 1) 200 mg of 7-Keto DHEA in the morning, to keep the adrenals healthy; 2) 1250-1500 mg of Phyenlalanine (L or DL) spread throughout the day (this converts to Tyrosine as necessary); 3) 1.125 mg Iodine from 5 kelp tablets spread throughout the day; 4) 200-400 mcg of Selenium. My T3 and T4 have been perfectly normal for over 9 years now.
I cried listening to this. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 10 years ago and not one doctor that I have seen has tested ANY of these levels. This explains so much. I got to where I would quit taking my thyroid medicine because it never felt like it was working, I never felt any better no matter how long I took it or if my dosage got increased. Hearing my Dr.'s tell me my levels were "normal" frustrated me so badly because I didn't want normal, I needed optimal and they just won't listen. This has opened my eyes so much and makes complete sense as to why I have the symptoms I do and why I never felt like my medicine was working. Thank you so much for this, I am so grateful to have stumble across this!!!
I totally agree with your statement my thyroid was removed in 2012 due to thyroid cancer and I have been battling the same issue I have started taking the D3, and Zinc just because of covid but I think I'm going to add the B12 I purchased a multi vitamin but I don't know if it has enough MG for each supplement if you have any suggestions please share I hope I haven't commented to this before if so please forgive me in advance
Doctors in America really suck and dont care about their patients at all since all of the practices are owned by private equity and i guess the only focus is on maximizing revenue or profit rather than patient health. V frustrating
@@PS-ic4bp Exactly the reason they had to stick to the narrative in recent years, to keep their job. They might as well be replaced by robots, which is possibly the plan. I don't totally blame the doctors. They can't even trust the medical journals, if they even get time to look at one. Almost seems like they're trying to crash the medical care system. When corporations rule, things go downhill. (Especially when regulations are paid for)
I relate to you 100% I was taking levothyroxine and was doing fine, until I stopped doing fine. I began feeling dizzy...my hair was falling out....and I had rashes all over my body. I told my doctor about it and he insisted the thyroid "medicine" was working just fine since my TSH level showed normal. I finally got him to give me several of the other thyroid tests, and indeed, it showed that the levothyroxine had not been converting to T3. You know what my "doctor" said? He said he didn't place any "value" in the Reverse T3 test!!! The only test he relies on is the TSH. WHAT?? I had severe symptoms AND the new tests clearly showed him that the levothyroxine was not working, and he completely dismissed the new information!! What kind of a lunatic is THAT? And he has the audacity to call himself a "doctor"?? We have to always remember to TRUST OUR BODIES. They will always tell us the truth. I'm on NP Thyroid now and it's working fine. So far.
People here in the USA want Socialized medicine and they have no idea what they're asking for. I'm a Medicaid recipient so I get offered the worst of care. I haven't gone to see a doctor since I got messed up very badly by 2 doctors in a row in 2013. I ended up finding a good chiropractor Kinesiologists and paying out of pocket to get straightened out. Yes, I have debt but I got on the right track quickly. Best of wish for your good health!
Same in Canada. This plandemic has exposed our incompetent and corrupt Doctors. I will never trust a Doctor again. I am currently looking for a Naturapath. I am bedridden because my Doctor for over 25 years refuses to see me because I cannot wear a face rag. I haven't seen a doctor for over 3 years but I have paid for it all this time. My hope is that she pays for her lack of integrity. I refused the jab and now she is punishing me because she couldn't get paid for her evil plan to top up her bank account. I think she is pushing me toward Maid so she can benefit for that. I am holding out for the time being but I suspect that will be my only option.
After 23 years of not knowing what is wrong, MULTIPLE and ENDLESS blood test results and Dr visits that got me nowhere close to improving my health, I learned so much in your videos and now im on the path to correction. Thank you!
All I can say is thank you, I've been dealing with hypothyroidism since I was 14, and am now 36. I have very limited resources in my area and this information is Gold. I thank God for you videos. New subscriber.
Omg where have you been all of my life?! I was going to what I was told was the best in endocrinologist in St. Louis and he hardly said anything to me about anything!! You have to be your own doctor!
Related to Iodine, I’m surprised that the elimination of fluoride, bromide and chloride from the diet and one’s environment is not commented on as a crucial factor for increasing the ability of iodine to do its job. Don’t consume toothpaste, mouthwash or water with fluoride, many breads have bromide added, pools and hot tubs are typically treated with chloride or bromide, fire retardant clothing, furniture, carpeting etc. can contain bromide. Also pesticide exposure.
Thank you so much for your videos. I am a 48-year-old mom with Graves Disease (I had RAI at 16 years old) and now I am not doing well. Doctors do not seem to understand anything about Graves Disease, and we are left to help ourselves. I gained 40 LBS in 1 month, and they say it is because I do not exercise and eat too much. I am in tears because my hair is falling out, my eyesight is getting worse, and not to mention I cannot hold my urine. . I will start treating myself with the help of your videos.
I am 32, and have had graves disease so severe i had my entire thyroid removed in 2017. No matter what medication they put me on i would have thyroid storms and would end up in the ICU. When I had my thyroid removed the weight just packed on, and the weird thing is I've tried different diets, still nothing helps. I still suffer from the graves eye disease, and the graves skin condition as well I forget what exactly it's called but its a thickening of the skin on my shins. Its completely frustrating, I take 300mcg of levothyroxine and my levels are still all over the place. I completely understand your frustration aswell and my thoughts and best wishes are with you.
I had graves and hyperthyroid.they remove my thyroid .I take synthroid.for years ..they really don't know about graves .it can go on remission but come back again ..I when thru a storm , so they told me levo .did not work , and put me on synthroid ...
@@ashleydiamond155 Please switch doctors. I zoom call with a functional medicine doctor. You deserve to feel well. Less T4 supplement and getting a T3 supplement seems indicated.
An excellent and highly informative video. British doctors would never discuss anything like this with their patients because they are unaware of all this. Thank you.
Dr. Childs is not a typival American doctor. here in the USA doctors are refens of health Insurance companies and hospital rules, alsomany are too comfortable or lazy to care and research for help their patients. Dr. Childs is awsome and unique! .
Yes that's sad truth. My GP didn't even want to have a look at the blood results done privately saying that my TSH and iron is normal in England!! My vit D3 was 14, ferritin 50, I have Hashimoto's (atg 92 and ATPO 1300), no menstrual cycle and extreme fatigue... I got antidepressant prescription. Great huh? Makes me sick in the stomach thinking about it.
Doctor Childs, please see if you ever encountered this problem of Melatonin that I have been taking for years for being good for many things but now new studies not certain yet say that Melatonin also produce some T4 cancelling out the natural T4 that the gland Thyroid produces. So my TSH went up to 7 called subclinical but I have to start taking 50 mcg of Levothyroxine to get rid of a Gorilla on my back. It has been a month but my body temperature did not reach 97.8 F yet in the morning which is a sign that the gland is working well. If I stop taking Melatonin now can I stop taking my T4 medication(Levo) soon ?
My heart goes out to us on thyroid meds. There are very few good thyroid docs and it’s sad when one is not available in your area. Reg physicians aren’t always knowledgeable and don’t really care. But there are some good ones out there so don’t give up. God Bless you.
This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL in helping me understand my labs as well as what route I’d like to try in terms of vitamins and minerals for my to help with my thyroid dysfunction! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video!
So helpful! Coming from biochemistry background, the information you have discussed is extremely valuable and unfortunately not many doctors do it here in India
Some doctors in india didnt like the questions of doubt from patients side..they just want to prescribe the medicines and the patient should keep quiet & buy it..thats all
I have a problem sharing too much because I always feel like someone won’t understand unless I give them more details. I just decided to send what I was saying in an email though and I just had to say my mouth just literally hit the floor when you described adrenal fatigue!! I have never heard a single person explain it so well!!! My partner is always saying stuff because I will fall asleep or not be able to drive because I’m so tired in the afternoon but then just like you said around 10:00 at night I’m wide awake again!!! I have tried looking for a functional Dr for a while but I never know how to tell who is trust worthy. Thank you for all of this though.
Can we please please please talk about hyperthyroidism? I find that most videos talk about hypo but not enough about hyperthyroidism, but a lot of people like me are dealing with hyper and looking for advice and information. Thanks.
I'm calling my doctor on Monday and asking for several tests since watching several of your video's. My last TSH level 10 weeks ago was at a 42. I'm currently taking 145 mcg of Levothyroxine and still don't feel "normal." I'm 27 years old and feel 50. Thank you so much for all this information.
Amanda Lang hi there Amanda ! I was on levothyroxine , then switched to synthroid... this was over 15 years ago, for a two year period.... still felt awful n would fall asleep at my desk at work and I’d slur my speech... then I lost my medical insurance... I was devastated but it turned out to be the best thing for me... I went to the bookstore n parked my butt on the floor and read is your thyroid making you fat? By Bernie something... forgot his last name... he does this diet for people n if they’ve tried it and still don’t lose weight he suspects their thyroid is off... but he went into depth about why the two drugs I’d taken wouldn’t work and said I needed a drug with both hormones T3 & T4 for my thyroid to function properly.. so therefore he prescribes Armour thyroid, yes Armour meat packing company is where it comes from... comes from pigs and their hormones are close to humans... I guess. So I found a sliding scale clinic and I met a woman dr and explained my ‘thyroid’ problem n begged her to give me a prescription for Armour thyroid and she did cuz she said it sounded like I’d done my homework... three weeks later, I woke up n thought, I’m back to my old self... it’s been a lot better and there are several nutrients you need to also add to your diet... I’m still taking Armour thyroid too.. hang in there....
@@MadHatter11371 It can heal the thyroid permanently drinking it for three months straight every morning after you soak it overnight boil and strain and drink on empty stomach, also at night massage your thyroid with onion juice before bed at night and eat raw onion with meal those things help
Had a double dose of radiation to kill the thyroid. 33 years ago. Haven't felt good since. Levels have never been normal. But it affected my heart so was a must. Thyroid storm I think they called it. I have started taking all b 12 complexes and feel better. Thanks, Doc for the information.🙏
I’ve been living and suffering from hypothyroidism for 49 years! Not one doctor has ever helped me! The side effects have ruined my life, I have had diarrhea since the day I started on a thyroid medication! My first year on the medication I lost 80 pounds and was put in the hospital for a week. For the last 40 years I have live on 2mg of anti-diarrhea medication! I’ve also take daily Vit B, Vit D3 and a multivitamin, none of which I think have helped me! Brain fog is endless, weight gain is out of control…. with the constant diarrhea I can never be far from a restroom! I have a long list of gastrointestinal doctors who say they can fix me, hasn’t happened yet! One thing I advise is take special care of your gallbladder, if you lose that the diarrhea is 3 times as bad, with intestinal and stomach pain that’s a killer. I could add so much more and it’s only half what I’ve been through! Good luck to all, I pray no one ever has to go through this! For me I find every time my medical professionals want to put me on a new medication the side effects almost always state, ‘may cause diarrhea, and it does! I can’t win!
I have all the above, have done a THS bloods waiting for results. Taking Iron tablets according to past bloods after Thyroid operation. I've got a lot of brain fog too. Thanks for your sessions. Appreciate all of it. Cheers Christine
Thank you. I don’t know what I’d do with out you. I’m still at the beginning of my healing journey. Western medicine isn’t helping too much they don’t even want to test for reverse T3 but after being on Synthroid for six months and my symptoms not improving even though my TSH was ““ normal for them I finally got the T3 and it’s like a night and day difference. I’m hoping to get my symptoms under control and just continue on with a more natural approach. I’ve never been more sick in my life and your videos and information give me hope very well done thank you so much for your time.
Hi, I've been using Western medicine for 7 years and my fatigue just got worse even with increasing dose, I just shifted to natural indian ayurvedic herbs and the syrups is making me feel much better and active in the morning. Will update results after three months of usage:)
Hi, I take synthroid too and not feeling well.. can you tell me what was the problem with you and if you found a way to be healthier.. I have problems with my stomach and digestion right now and wondering if it has something to do with my hypothyroidism. Thank you!
It's SO maddening that they don't test for reverse T3! I hadn't even heard about it until I was properly tested by a naturopath. Everything clicked after that.
I’ve just been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s as well as Vitamin B12 and D deficiencies. I’ve been lucky as I’ve only had symptoms for a year and that was coming off a bad attack of Glandular Fever. My naturopath has been really proactive, and if you can afford it, I would recommend seeing one.
B6 P-5-P Without this vitamin, the thyroid cannot utilize its iodine raw material efficiently to make the hormones. Pyridoxine B6 is needed even more by an overactive thyroid. Muscle weakness is very common in people with an overactive thyroid and in those who are also lacking in B6. Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (P5P) Adding the right supplements to an individual’s diet can greatly increase their overall health. Since certain vitamins are not obtained as easily as others through diet alone, it’s a good idea to look into supplements as a way to provide the body with the nutrients it essentially needs. When considering which vitamins to supplement Vitamin B6 often tops the list due to its vast array of benefits. Although the vitamin is often sold in its inactive form it can also be purchased as an active co-enzyme that’s known as Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate. BUT DON'T O.D. ON SUPPLEMENTS.
You are with out a doubt a super doctor for the thyroid patient such in-depth information to help me understand my sons labs .wishing we had a more knowledgeable doctor here.seems for years we have been in a yo yo syndrome up down up down…as far as medication doses needed …. so I have started watching his diet rigorously and added supplements as well as just watching his over all attitude and energy levels.he has Down’s syndrome and even though high level functioning fails to let me know about symptoms that aren’t positive for his health.usually tiredness sleep patterns irritability …etc…thank you for sharing from the heart and knowledge you have gained from your patients over the years…knowledge is power…stay blessed.
If you've been diagnosed with a thyroid problem, you MUST go in for regular blood draws to find out your levels. If you've had your thyroid completely removed or it has stopped functioning completely, you HAVE to take thyroid med for the rest of your life. Everything Dr Childs talks about is to "boost" thyroid function. If you don't have a thyroid, no "booster" ALONE will help you. If you take a thyroid med or anything to "boost" a thyroid that is still functioning, you HAVE to go in to have levels drawn regularly. If you don't, your thyroid levels may go from hypo to hyper. There's a condition called a "thyroid storm" when your thyroid gets too active from too much med or too much "boosting", & you can die if it's not treated. If your thyroid function drops too low, is removed, or is not functioning at all, you will go into a coma & die if not given thyroid med. That's why it's so dangerous to treat yourself without going in to have regular blood levels checked. It's fine to take the "boosters" if needed, but you MUST have your blood levels checked regularly. (Nurse here, & I hope this helps you understand)
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 20 and I'm 45 now, so it's been a long time. I've never felt great. I have some good days, but I've been feeling 'blah' for a long time to the extent that that is what I consider normal. I have found that few doctors know anything about this disease other than to read lab tests and change dosages of various thyroid medications. I came across this information due to severe sciatic nerve pain that has been unbearable. Needless to say, in addition to physical therapy and stretching, I paid close attention to supplement recommendations for nerve health, which in some cases intersected with thyroid health. As a result, now I'm paying close attention to what else I can do or should stop doing for my thyroid health. I'm grateful for this research and will definitely be incorporating what I've learned into my daily routine.
Great information. I have triple Negative breast cancer, am on my second phase of neoadjuvent chemo. My TSH went up to 46. Seeing endocrinologist today and I also have an holistic doctor. Keytruda most likely caused my thyroid issues. Started taking synthroid and do feel worse. Thanks for bringing up all of these deficiency issues!!!
This was quite informative. Thank you. Just two days back i spoke with a GP about my hypothyroid issues and if he could help me with diet and what food to avoid. All he could say was, everybody is dealing with their own illness and disease... Just don't think about it. I was really disappointed with what he said.
Again after 4 years , This is beyond helpful!!!! Indonesia will not do all these kinds of test they just handle peeps that have illnesses not supplement deficiency and any problems that are caused by it👏👏👏👏
I don't have a thyroid I ordered a NOW supplement named Thyroid Energy. It has Tyrosine, Iodine, Selenium, Zinc & Copper. It had awesome reviews for people without a thyroid. I haven't started the supplement yet. I have high TSH levels. Im on Uthroid I am always weak, experiencing ringing of the ears, brain fog, twitching skin & other symptoms that leaves me wondering what weird feeling of ailment will happen each day....Please provide any doctors in the DC area that are familiar with tackling thyroid issues in patients.
What results did you have after taking thyroid energy? It looks like a bunch of things mixed into one supplement. Might be an easy way to deal with a lot of this stuff. what is your experience with it been like?
When I had pneumonia last spring, I started going to my regular doctor for infusions (IV) of B-Complex and also Glutathione, plus a B-12 shot, every other week. I continued with this because I was so sick for so long, I needed to build myself back up. My insurance covers the B-12 shots, the rest comes out of pocket. I’m 73 and lead a fairly active lifestyle. It’s difficult to absorb dietary B-12 taken orally; with the shot, your body absorbs it better.
So happy to have come across your video...highly informative & useful to know. Felt tempted to forward to forward to all of the doctors I have been through for their edification on proper medical care! Thank you very much.
Very difficult, here in Canada, to get all those blood tests. And even if you didn't have to beg the doctor for them, the cost of patient-requested lab tests is prohibitive for most people.
@@notmyselfusee it does. I've never had to pay for any kind of test. I've had to many to count. blood, allergy, nerve, angiogram, annual MRIs, surgery, stress tests, and so much more. I've seen 6 specialists as well as pain clinics etc. I've never had to pay for anything. You have to go in prepared. Document your symptoms know what tests you want. If you don't get what you need from your GP you ask for a referral. I've had some lazy uninformed GPs as well, you just have to know how to work them. The specialists are pretty much excellent where I live. It's the family doctors that suck .
@@penthesilliaas I’m sorry to burst your bubble but the healthcare in Canada is very poor. You might not have to pay for most tests, but getting a doctor to order the proper tests is a huge challenge. We don’t have the luxury to change doctors like they do in the US, we are stuck with a doctor if they won’t take you seriously. I am an RN and worked in both countries, so I have personal experience with both systems.
This is all great and very helpful but I so wish you could do coaching calls and help people read their test results and come up with a plan. I’m usually great with tons of info and can implement a lot of it but with stress and brain fog it’s not always possible. Just wish you could do “coaching” one on one. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. It helps.
Great info and happy to hear your suggestions include much of what my doctor has suggested/prescribed for me. Thank you for sharing your valuable information.
Just found you in time I've been looking for a doctor for my thyroid issues. You are it. It make sense. I've been so weak sleepy blowed. Out of breath. Needed the solution you have. I'm thankful for finding you
I just started taking Levothyroxine 50mcg prescribed by the Dr. However, I decided on my own to take also, some lugols, mg, selenium, zinc, B-complex and turmeric pills. Would it be too much?
I am in the early stages of my breast cancer and thyroid cancer treatments. I already had the lumpectomy and thyroidectomy. In speaking of anemia, I was born with Thalassemia. I was told to take iron most of my life, including during pregnancy. More recently, I was advised to use folic acid, which a game-changer for my anemia. I am treating other health issues as well. I am appreciative of your knowledge and shared information. It helps in my research as well. Thank you.
Dr. Childs, I believe this lecture was geared more toward hypothyroidism. My Calcium serum level is 11.6, and my Thyroid stimulating hormone is 218.1, which I believe is hyperthyroidism. My labs were done on June10, 2022, so I haven't seen an endocrinologist yet. I am looking for excellent supplements to start taking. I am 74 years young and taking rosuvastatin 20mg and my doc wants me to go ip to 40mg. Thank you.
Ugh. My Western medicine 'specialists' flatly deny the need for tests other than the old T-series. I was given this diagnosis at 19 AND PREGNANT... I'm now 72 and still on Levo. with Myeloma... and yet the docs say no connection, nothing to see here. Crazy frustrating. I'm supplementing myself but not where I want to be. Will be checking out your link to find a dr. who thinks like I/you do. THANK YOU.
Hello there! One of the best thing you can do for your over all health is to filter your water with a Zero water filter. If you are under a city water system they have bromine, chlorine, and the last is fluoride. These screw up the thyorid by pulling necessary nutrients out of the body. Do the best to avoid this. Supplements can help too just make sure you don't overlook your thyroid and your Heath. God bless and take care.
New subscriber and I love this. Watched the video in its entirety. You broke down the symptoms which helps eliminate supplements that are not needed. Because, my gawd I have tried soooooooooo many and it's costly.
Yes! Speaking of fluoride bromide and chlorine ALL ares the key in our health. So we should watch what we eat: bromide in all bread, cookies chloride in water and fluoride in water ... Anyone reading this pay attention what you eat. Cook for yourself and watch all ingredients
After another year, just watching this absolutely 💯informative vlog by you, Dr childs. All I can say is words fall short to describe how good a human being you are. ❣. Hope you are doing well after the Corona times. Would like to hear from you. Happy new year ahead. 🎉 Looking forward to more such medical information by you. 🤗
Excellent video. Have you ever thought about vitamin D? I have a vitamin D deficiency and hypothyroidism. I'm on 7000 IU a day and an endo monitors me. Vitamin D deficiency saps my energy, gives me depression, makes me gain weight, and also gives me bone pain. If my level doesn't go up next Friday, my endo will have to prescribe vitamin D for me.
Dr Child’s, I greatly enjoyed this presentation. One question: What is Reverse T3 and should it be included in the thyroid test panel? It is not included in the Quest Labs form.
Thank you so much , I was just looking for this info.. I have been suffering so long with low energy and id not know the reason why... I am really really greatful
Aloha and Mahalo!!!You have been so incredibly helpful! I have reasearched a lot and your video was packed with detailed info including the linked and descripted info. I now know exactly what i need! I am sendung this to everyine i now! Thank you! Have a great day!Sincerely jewels*
Im congenital hypothyroid..im lucky n blessed my parent give full attention to my treatment..im now normal but still taking lifetime medication which i need n proper diet.
If you take b12, take no cyanocobalomin, take methylcobalomin (memo) Use zincpiccolinate for better absorption Magnesium-Glycinate for people with hypothyroitism
Thank you I've had my thyroid removed ,left a portion size a small pea.removed in my early 30s now I'm in my 80s taken synthroid for many years,now I'm having low thyroid problems, I will.have a talk with as he put me on lower thyroid harmone. And I feel awful,,thank you..
Now I'm wondering if metformin is depleting b12 which is cascading to these other problems. I noticed that feel great with vitamins with selenium. I start metformin because of an infection. Yeast infection usually starts the blood sugar problem. Is that from antibiotics? Or SIBO? Possibly. My blood sugar is VERY dependent on yeast infections.
Oh wow this is so me. I have Hashimotoes and the adrenal fatigue is so bad, the mental fog. I’m 53 and I’m a MA. I work in Dermatology so I’m on my feet all day and lately I feel like I’m experiencing short term memory and I totally get the feeling of crashing between 2-3 pm. Thank you for this video. I need to talk with my doctor for further blood work
Ask for adrenal fatigue whoever reads these comments its calf liver u need to eat , 4 to 8 ounces 3 times per week for about 1 to 2 weeks And you will be very surprised of the outcome good luck everyone God bless
thank you very much I suffer from hypothyroid I learned that I was in the right path when I was drinking my vitamins. I appreciate this information thank you
nemesis1340 sounds like it’s time for you to find another doctor who will actually listen to you. I had to do the same thing! When you go to someone else and they start off with, “I don’t want to say someone has been doing you wrong in terms of your treatment.” It doesn’t feel too good. I know my previous doctor did nothing intentional, but I’m grateful I finally am with a doctor who listens and is putting my in touch with a medical team to help with my now complicated thyroid condition. I wish you the best of luck!
nemesis1340 you clearly need a new doctor. I was hypothyroid from around 3-4 years old (that’s as far back as I remember the symptoms) I’m now 28 and had my thyroidectomy last year. Took me 26 years to figure out what was going on with me. Don’t give up!
Elaine Clements Finn exactly! what do you do when you've already switched three times and this third one has his own team of people right there so hes reluctant to give me a referral to see a specialist. im 40 and ive been suffering for 8 years he may no some about the thyroid but his lack of bedside manner teamed with the fact that he grows very annoyed for me wanting to see a specialist. he wont listen to me and now tht my desease has progressively gotten worse that i now have mild regurgitation in all four heart chambers, oh and hed decided its nothing to worry about we will check it yearly and get this...he wants to handle my heart issues as well. Ive got 4 teens and 2 year old sweet little girl that needs her momma here, these drs are just going to let me die. what gives.
I want to point out that in mexico almost everything has iodized salt and I was veryyyyyy ill . be careful . I lost 83 pounds before i looked at my blood. I am a phlebotomist and i was shocked to see my thyroid had done a 180 and i was basically od'ing on iodine,
Taking iron causes hepcidin to lock iron - hemachromotosis/iron overload and anemia - methylfolate is the fix discovered since 1955 PubMed Vanadium (BMOV) fixes this via DMT (divalent metal transport) Chromium fixes this too (take 70mg daily) Berberine is slower

I went hypothyroid in 2010. My doctor wanted to put me on Synthroid, but I refused because all of my friends who take that have lost most of their hair and that which has remained is white. Over four months of research and trial and error, I figured out the natural way to cure hypothyroidism: 1) 200 mg of 7-Keto DHEA in the morning, to keep the adrenals healthy; 2) 1250-1500 mg of Phyenlalanine (L or DL) spread throughout the day (this converts to Tyrosine as necessary); 3) 1.125 mg Iodine from 5 kelp tablets spread throughout the day; 4) 200-400 mcg of Selenium. My T3 and T4 have been perfectly normal for over 9 years now.
Wow, Congratulations to you

I cried listening to this. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 10 years ago and not one doctor that I have seen has tested ANY of these levels. This explains so much. I got to where I would quit taking my thyroid medicine because it never felt like it was working, I never felt any better no matter how long I took it or if my dosage got increased. Hearing my Dr.'s tell me my levels were "normal" frustrated me so badly because I didn't want normal, I needed optimal and they just won't listen. This has opened my eyes so much and makes complete sense as to why I have the symptoms I do and why I never felt like my medicine was working. Thank you so much for this, I am so grateful to have stumble across this!!!
I totally agree with your statement my thyroid was removed in 2012 due to thyroid cancer and I have been battling the same issue I have started taking the D3, and Zinc just because of covid but I think I'm going to add the B12 I purchased a multi vitamin but I don't know if it has enough MG for each supplement if you have any suggestions please share I hope I haven't commented to this before if so please forgive me in advance
Doctors in America really suck and dont care about their patients at all since all of the practices are owned by private equity and i guess the only focus is on maximizing revenue or profit rather than patient health. V frustrating
@@PS-ic4bp Exactly the reason they had to stick to the narrative in recent years, to keep their job. They might as well be replaced by robots, which is possibly the plan.
I don't totally blame the doctors. They can't even trust the medical journals, if they even get time to look at one. Almost seems like they're trying to crash the medical care system. When corporations rule, things go downhill. (Especially when regulations are paid for)
YEP! MY story too!
I relate to you 100% I was taking levothyroxine and was doing fine, until I stopped doing fine. I began feeling dizzy...my hair was falling out....and I had rashes all over my body. I told my doctor about it and he insisted the thyroid "medicine" was working just fine since my TSH level showed normal. I finally got him to give me several of the other thyroid tests, and indeed, it showed that the levothyroxine had not been converting to T3. You know what my "doctor" said? He said he didn't place any "value" in the Reverse T3 test!!! The only test he relies on is the TSH. WHAT?? I had severe symptoms AND the new tests clearly showed him that the levothyroxine was not working, and he completely dismissed the new information!! What kind of a lunatic is THAT? And he has the audacity to call himself a "doctor"?? We have to always remember to TRUST OUR BODIES. They will always tell us the truth. I'm on NP Thyroid now and it's working fine. So far.
I live in the UK, and to find a doctor of you professional standing and medical insight would be virtually impossible. Subscribed
People here in the USA want Socialized medicine and they have no idea what they're asking for. I'm a Medicaid recipient so I get offered the worst of care. I haven't gone to see a doctor since I got messed up very badly by 2 doctors in a row in 2013.
I ended up finding a good chiropractor Kinesiologists and paying out of pocket to get straightened out. Yes, I have debt but I got on the right track quickly. Best of wish for your good health!
Same in Canada. This plandemic has exposed our incompetent and corrupt Doctors. I will never trust a Doctor again. I am currently looking for a Naturapath. I am bedridden because my Doctor for over 25 years refuses to see me because I cannot wear a face rag. I haven't seen a doctor for over 3 years but I have paid for it all this time. My hope is that she pays for her lack of integrity. I refused the jab and now she is punishing me because she couldn't get paid for her evil plan to top up her bank account. I think she is pushing me toward Maid so she can benefit for that. I am holding out for the time being but I suspect that will be my only option.
After 23 years of not knowing what is wrong, MULTIPLE and ENDLESS blood test results and Dr visits that got me nowhere close to improving my health, I learned so much in your videos and now im on the path to correction. Thank you!
How are you now?
Help!
Please change doctors. You deserve to feel yourself.
@@hyacinthmcdonald1044 google Find a D.O. near me, they have MDs but do things more natural❤
All I can say is thank you, I've been dealing with hypothyroidism since I was 14, and am now 36. I have very limited resources in my area and this information is Gold. I thank God for you videos. New subscriber.
Glad you find them helpful! :)
Omg where have you been all of my life?! I was going to what I was told was the best in endocrinologist in St. Louis and he hardly said anything to me about anything!! You have to be your own doctor!
Related to Iodine, I’m surprised that the elimination of fluoride, bromide and chloride from the diet and one’s environment is not commented on as a crucial factor for increasing the ability of iodine to do its job. Don’t consume toothpaste, mouthwash or water with fluoride, many breads have bromide added, pools and hot tubs are typically treated with chloride or bromide, fire retardant clothing, furniture, carpeting etc. can contain bromide. Also pesticide exposure.
Thank you so much for your videos. I am a 48-year-old mom with Graves Disease (I had RAI at 16 years old) and now I am not doing well. Doctors do not seem to understand anything about Graves Disease, and we are left to help ourselves. I gained 40 LBS in 1 month, and they say it is because I do not exercise and eat too much. I am in tears because my hair is falling out, my eyesight is getting worse, and not to mention I cannot hold my urine. . I will start treating myself with the help of your videos.
Try dry coriander water soak overnight boil and drink first thing in the morning on empty stomach for three months straight
I am 32, and have had graves disease so severe i had my entire thyroid removed in 2017. No matter what medication they put me on i would have thyroid storms and would end up in the ICU. When I had my thyroid removed the weight just packed on, and the weird thing is I've tried different diets, still nothing helps. I still suffer from the graves eye disease, and the graves skin condition as well I forget what exactly it's called but its a thickening of the skin on my shins. Its completely frustrating, I take 300mcg of levothyroxine and my levels are still all over the place. I completely understand your frustration aswell and my thoughts and best wishes are with you.
I had graves and hyperthyroid.they remove my thyroid .I take synthroid.for years ..they really don't know about graves .it can go on remission but come back again ..I when thru a storm , so they told me levo .did not work , and put me on synthroid ...

@@ashleydiamond155 Please switch doctors. I zoom call with a functional medicine doctor. You deserve to feel well. Less T4 supplement and getting a T3 supplement seems indicated.
An excellent and highly informative video. British doctors would never discuss anything like this with their patients because they are unaware of all this. Thank you.
French Doctors are even worse
I agree I wish this doctor was my doctor he would have spared me a lot of suffering..😀
Dr. Childs is not a typival American doctor. here in the USA doctors are refens of health Insurance companies and hospital rules, alsomany are too comfortable or lazy to care and research for help their patients. Dr. Childs is awsome and unique! .
Yes that's sad truth. My GP didn't even want to have a look at the blood results done privately saying that my TSH and iron is normal in England!! My vit D3 was 14, ferritin 50, I have Hashimoto's (atg 92 and ATPO 1300), no menstrual cycle and extreme fatigue... I got antidepressant prescription. Great huh? Makes me sick in the stomach thinking about it.
Doctor Childs, please see if you ever encountered this problem of Melatonin that I have been taking for years for being good for many things but now new studies not certain yet say that Melatonin also produce some T4 cancelling out the natural T4 that the gland Thyroid produces. So my TSH went up to 7 called subclinical but I have to start taking 50 mcg of Levothyroxine to get rid of a Gorilla on my back. It has been a month but my body temperature did not reach 97.8 F yet in the morning which is a sign that the gland is working well. If I stop taking Melatonin now can I stop taking my T4 medication(Levo) soon ?
My heart goes out to us on thyroid meds. There are very few good thyroid docs and it’s sad when one is not available in your area. Reg physicians aren’t always knowledgeable and don’t really care. But there are some good ones out there so don’t give up. God Bless you.
This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL in helping me understand my labs as well as what route I’d like to try in terms of vitamins and minerals for my to help with my thyroid dysfunction! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video!
am VERY impressed by this guy!!!
he seems to know what he's talking about it!!!
Thank you Doctor I can't believe how the medical professionals miss all of these symptoms! We now have to be our own Doctor!!
Extremely sad times we are in. Doctors have become nothing but pill dispensers keeping us in a viscous cycle of ill health.
Please don't call them professionals.
So helpful! Coming from biochemistry background, the information you have discussed is extremely valuable and unfortunately not many doctors do it here in India
Some doctors in india didnt like the questions of doubt from patients side..they just want to prescribe the medicines and the patient should keep quiet & buy it..thats all
I have a problem sharing too much because I always feel like someone won’t understand unless I give them more details. I just decided to send what I was saying in an email though and I just had to say my mouth just literally hit the floor when you described adrenal fatigue!! I have never heard a single person explain it so well!!! My partner is always saying stuff because I will fall asleep or not be able to drive because I’m so tired in the afternoon but then just like you said around 10:00 at night I’m wide awake again!!! I have tried looking for a functional Dr for a while but I never know how to tell who is trust worthy. Thank you for all of this though.
Can we please please please talk about hyperthyroidism? I find that most videos talk about hypo but not enough about hyperthyroidism, but a lot of people like me are dealing with hyper and looking for advice and information. Thanks.
Thank you Very much doc!! highly appreciate this information. ( coming from another medical professional) suffering from this.
No problem! I hope you find it helpful.
Please provide me a bigger picture on the supplement (9) with the thyroid needs
Thank you for the best descriptive analysis of hypothyroidism and hashimoto autoimmune disorders.
Did you get better?
I'm calling my doctor on Monday and asking for several tests since watching several of your video's. My last TSH level 10 weeks ago was at a 42. I'm currently taking 145 mcg of Levothyroxine and still don't feel "normal." I'm 27 years old and feel 50. Thank you so much for all this information.
Amanda Lang hi there Amanda ! I was on levothyroxine , then switched to synthroid... this was over 15 years ago, for a two year period.... still felt awful n would fall asleep at my desk at work and I’d slur my speech... then I lost my medical insurance... I was devastated but it turned out to be the best thing for me... I went to the bookstore n parked my butt on the floor and read is your thyroid making you fat? By Bernie something... forgot his last name... he does this diet for people n if they’ve tried it and still don’t lose weight he suspects their thyroid is off... but he went into depth about why the two drugs I’d taken wouldn’t work and said I needed a drug with both hormones T3 & T4 for my thyroid to function properly.. so therefore he prescribes Armour thyroid, yes Armour meat packing company is where it comes from... comes from pigs and their hormones are close to humans... I guess. So I found a sliding scale clinic and I met a woman dr and explained my ‘thyroid’ problem n begged her to give me a prescription for Armour thyroid and she did cuz she said it sounded like I’d done my homework... three weeks later, I woke up n thought, I’m back to my old self... it’s been a lot better and there are several nutrients you need to also add to your diet... I’m still taking Armour thyroid too.. hang in there....
Research Armour Thyroid and everything else that he said... good luck and don't give up.

@@Sheriffer_Graham can you go into detail on this as to what it does
@@MadHatter11371 It can heal the thyroid permanently drinking it for three months straight every morning after you soak it overnight boil and strain and drink on empty stomach, also at night massage your thyroid with onion juice before bed at night and eat raw onion with meal those things help
You are giving me hope 😢 12 years of suffering with pain, fatigue, and stiffness.
OMG!!! You are a totally BRILLIANT!!! Thank you so much for this wealth of knowledge. Truly AMAZING!!
Had a double dose of radiation to kill the thyroid. 33 years ago. Haven't felt good since. Levels have never been normal. But it affected my heart so was a must. Thyroid storm I think they called it. I have started taking all b 12 complexes and feel better. Thanks, Doc for the information.🙏
I’ve been living and suffering from hypothyroidism for 49 years! Not one doctor has ever helped me! The side effects have ruined my life, I have had diarrhea since the day I started on a thyroid medication! My first year on the medication I lost 80 pounds and was put in the hospital for a week. For the last 40 years I have live on 2mg of anti-diarrhea medication! I’ve also take daily Vit B, Vit D3 and a multivitamin, none of which I think have helped me! Brain fog is endless, weight gain is out of control…. with the constant diarrhea I can never be far from a restroom! I have a long list of gastrointestinal doctors who say they can fix me, hasn’t happened yet! One thing I advise is take special care of your gallbladder, if you lose that the diarrhea is 3 times as bad, with intestinal and stomach pain that’s a killer. I could add so much more and it’s only half what I’ve been through! Good luck to all, I pray no one ever has to go through this! For me I find every time my medical professionals want to put me on a new medication the side effects almost always state, ‘may cause diarrhea, and it does! I can’t win!
R u on thyroid medicine now
I have all the above, have done a THS bloods waiting for results.
Taking Iron tablets according to past bloods after Thyroid operation. I've got a lot of brain fog too.
Thanks for your sessions. Appreciate all of it.
Cheers Christine
Wonderful , I live in Pakistan and it seems doctors in here don't know anything about treating the thyroid patient. I am greatful for this info
Absolutely right. They dont know anything. As they dont have any reserch and studies also.

@@hennasaqib3718 pt
Thank you. I don’t know what I’d do with out you. I’m still at the beginning of my healing journey. Western medicine isn’t helping too much they don’t even want to test for reverse T3 but after being on Synthroid for six months and my symptoms not improving even though my TSH was ““ normal for them I finally got the T3 and it’s like a night and day difference. I’m hoping to get my symptoms under control and just continue on with a more natural approach. I’ve never been more sick in my life and your videos and information give me hope very well done thank you so much for your time.
I agree
Hi, I've been using Western medicine for 7 years and my fatigue just got worse even with increasing dose, I just shifted to natural indian ayurvedic herbs and the syrups is making me feel much better and active in the morning. Will update results after three months of usage:)
Hi, I take synthroid too and not feeling well.. can you tell me what was the problem with you and if you found a way to be healthier.. I have problems with my stomach and digestion right now and wondering if it has something to do with my hypothyroidism. Thank you!
It's SO maddening that they don't test for reverse T3! I hadn't even heard about it until I was properly tested by a naturopath. Everything clicked after that.
Some doctor said don't take iron can more worse
Thank you for the hugely important information and the breaking down of what type of vitamins you need for each group of symptoms!
I’ve just been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s as well as Vitamin B12 and D deficiencies. I’ve been lucky as I’ve only had symptoms for a year and that was coming off a bad attack of Glandular Fever. My naturopath has been really proactive, and if you can afford it, I would recommend seeing one.
Dr.Childs-
This information was incredibly helpful and made so much sense.
B6 P-5-P
Without this vitamin, the thyroid cannot utilize its iodine raw material efficiently to make the hormones. Pyridoxine B6 is needed even more by an overactive thyroid. Muscle weakness is very common in people with an overactive thyroid and in those who are also lacking in B6.
Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (P5P)
Adding the right supplements to an individual’s diet can greatly increase their overall health. Since certain vitamins are not obtained as easily as others through diet alone, it’s a good idea to look into supplements as a way to provide the body with the nutrients it essentially needs. When considering which vitamins to supplement Vitamin B6 often tops the list due to its vast array of benefits. Although the vitamin is often sold in its inactive form it can also be purchased as an active co-enzyme that’s known as Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate.
BUT DON'T O.D. ON SUPPLEMENTS.
This is one of the best hypothyroid presentations that I've heard. Straight to the point and easy-to-understand. Thank you for this presentation.😀💕
Glad you found it helpful!
Hi Doctor, i appreciate from the bottom of my heart on the detailed explanation on hypothyroidism.
I think you are number one dealing with Hashimoto issue
You are with out a doubt a super doctor for the thyroid patient such in-depth information to help me understand my sons labs .wishing we had a more knowledgeable doctor here.seems for years we have been in a yo yo syndrome up down up down…as far as medication doses needed …. so I have started watching his diet rigorously and added supplements as well as just watching his over all attitude and energy levels.he has Down’s syndrome and even though high level functioning fails to let me know about symptoms that aren’t positive for his health.usually tiredness sleep patterns irritability …etc…thank you for sharing from the heart and knowledge you have gained from your patients over the years…knowledge is power…stay blessed.
Conclusion: I’m now more confused and anxious about what to do 😩
If you've been diagnosed with a thyroid problem, you MUST go in for regular blood draws to find out your levels. If you've had your thyroid completely removed or it has stopped functioning completely, you HAVE to take thyroid med for the rest of your life.
Everything Dr Childs talks about is to "boost" thyroid function. If you don't have a thyroid, no "booster" ALONE will help you.
If you take a thyroid med or anything to "boost" a thyroid that is still functioning, you HAVE to go in to have levels drawn regularly. If you don't, your thyroid levels may go from hypo to hyper.
There's a condition called a "thyroid storm" when your thyroid gets too active from too much med or too much "boosting", & you can die if it's not treated. If your thyroid function drops too low, is removed, or is not functioning at all, you will go into a coma & die if not given thyroid med. That's why it's so dangerous to treat yourself without going in to have regular blood levels checked.
It's fine to take the "boosters" if needed, but you MUST have your blood levels checked regularly.
(Nurse here, & I hope this helps you understand)
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 20 and I'm 45 now, so it's been a long time. I've never felt great. I have some good days, but I've been feeling 'blah' for a long time to the extent that that is what I consider normal. I have found that few doctors know anything about this disease other than to read lab tests and change dosages of various thyroid medications. I came across this information due to severe sciatic nerve pain that has been unbearable. Needless to say, in addition to physical therapy and stretching, I paid close attention to supplement recommendations for nerve health, which in some cases intersected with thyroid health. As a result, now I'm paying close attention to what else I can do or should stop doing for my thyroid health. I'm grateful for this research and will definitely be incorporating what I've learned into my daily routine.
Your the only doctor who knows what I feel...why others keep telling me I'm normal and I should not feel those symptoms you've all mention.
So helpful and I am not an MD but it is more than I would ever have learned from and MD or naturopath or functional MD
Thank you
Great information. I have triple Negative breast cancer, am on my second phase of neoadjuvent chemo. My TSH went up to 46. Seeing endocrinologist today and I also have an holistic doctor. Keytruda most likely caused my thyroid issues. Started taking synthroid and do feel worse. Thanks for bringing up all of these deficiency issues!!!
This was quite informative. Thank you. Just two days back i spoke with a GP about my hypothyroid issues and if he could help me with diet and what food to avoid. All he could say was, everybody is dealing with their own illness and disease... Just don't think about it. I was really disappointed with what he said.
You're welcome!
Again after 4 years ,
This is beyond helpful!!!!
Indonesia will not do all these kinds of test they just handle peeps that have illnesses not supplement deficiency and any problems that are caused by it👏👏👏👏
I don't have a thyroid I ordered a NOW supplement named Thyroid Energy. It has Tyrosine, Iodine, Selenium, Zinc & Copper. It had awesome reviews for people without a thyroid. I haven't started the supplement yet. I have high TSH levels. Im on Uthroid I am always weak, experiencing ringing of the ears, brain fog, twitching skin & other symptoms that leaves me wondering what weird feeling of ailment will happen each day....Please provide any doctors in the DC area that are familiar with tackling thyroid issues in patients.
What results did you have after taking thyroid energy? It looks like a bunch of things mixed into one supplement. Might be an easy way to deal with a lot of this stuff. what is your experience with it been like?
@@everythingandnothing2 This a click-bait strategy, they want you to buy their supplements. That's why there's no answer.
When I had pneumonia last spring, I started going to my regular doctor for infusions (IV) of B-Complex and also Glutathione, plus a B-12 shot, every other week. I continued with this because I was so sick for so long, I needed to build myself back up. My insurance covers the B-12 shots, the rest comes out of pocket. I’m 73 and lead a fairly active lifestyle.
It’s difficult to absorb dietary B-12 taken orally; with the shot, your body absorbs it better.
Can't thank you enough for sharing this valuable info.
So happy to have come across your video...highly informative & useful to know. Felt tempted to forward to forward to all of the doctors I have been through for their edification on proper medical care! Thank you very much.
Very difficult, here in Canada, to get all those blood tests. And even if you didn't have to beg the doctor for them, the cost of patient-requested lab tests is prohibitive for most people.
Eleanor Weiss but I have heard that Canada has amazing healthcare
@@notmyselfusee it does. I've never had to pay for any kind of test. I've had to many to count. blood, allergy, nerve, angiogram, annual MRIs, surgery, stress tests, and so much more. I've seen 6 specialists as well as pain clinics etc. I've never had to pay for anything. You have to go in prepared. Document your symptoms know what tests you want. If you don't get what you need from your GP you ask for a referral. I've had some lazy uninformed GPs as well, you just have to know how to work them. The specialists are pretty much excellent where I live. It's the family doctors that suck .
@@penthesilliaas I’m sorry to burst your bubble but the healthcare in Canada is very poor. You might not have to pay for most tests, but getting a doctor to order the proper tests is a huge challenge. We don’t have the luxury to change doctors like they do in the US, we are stuck with a doctor if they won’t take you seriously. I am an RN and worked in both countries, so I have personal experience with both systems.
Great information, I just feel overwhelmed listening to this though!
This is the best video I've seen on explaining thyroid issues. Thanks
You're welcome!
This is all great and very helpful but I so wish you could do coaching calls and help people read their test results and come up with a plan. I’m usually great with tons of info and can implement a lot of it but with stress and brain fog it’s not always possible. Just wish you could do “coaching” one on one. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. It helps.
Great info and happy to hear your suggestions include much of what my doctor has suggested/prescribed for me. Thank you for sharing your valuable information.
Just found you in time I've been looking for a doctor for my thyroid issues. You are it. It make sense. I've been so weak sleepy blowed. Out of breath. Needed the solution you have. I'm thankful for finding you
My doctor would take my blood and give me a pill. I needed more and you have it
I just started taking Levothyroxine 50mcg prescribed by the Dr. However, I decided on my own to take also, some lugols, mg, selenium, zinc, B-complex and turmeric pills. Would it be too much?
I am in the early stages of my breast cancer and thyroid cancer treatments. I already had the lumpectomy and thyroidectomy. In speaking of anemia, I was born with Thalassemia. I was told to take iron most of my life, including during pregnancy. More recently, I was advised to use folic acid, which a game-changer for my anemia. I am treating other health issues as well. I am appreciative of your knowledge and shared information. It helps in my research as well. Thank you.
Dr. Childs, I believe this lecture was geared more toward hypothyroidism. My Calcium serum level is 11.6, and my Thyroid stimulating hormone is 218.1, which I believe is hyperthyroidism. My labs were done on June10, 2022, so I haven't seen an endocrinologist yet. I am looking for excellent supplements to start taking. I am 74 years young and taking rosuvastatin 20mg and my doc wants me to go ip to 40mg.
Thank you.
A high TSH indicates hypothyroidism. TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. It tells your body to make more thyroid hormone.
Ugh. My Western medicine 'specialists' flatly deny the need for tests other than the old T-series. I was given this diagnosis at 19 AND PREGNANT... I'm now 72 and still on Levo. with Myeloma... and yet the docs say no connection, nothing to see here. Crazy frustrating. I'm supplementing myself but not where I want to be. Will be checking out your link to find a dr. who thinks like I/you do. THANK YOU.
Hello there! One of the best thing you can do for your over all health is to filter your water with a Zero water filter. If you are under a city water system they have bromine, chlorine, and the last is fluoride. These screw up the thyorid by pulling necessary nutrients out of the body. Do the best to avoid this. Supplements can help too just make sure you don't overlook your thyroid and your Heath. God bless and take care.
Michele Aldworth How interesting! I will try using filtered water.
Tracy G Only 3 ways to remove the fluoride. They are reverse osmosis, distillation or bone char filter.
Ok
Thank you for this in-depth research information..will try putting these suggestions into use
Omg this is so complicated 🙄😴 great information
New subscriber and I love this. Watched the video in its entirety. You broke down the symptoms which helps eliminate supplements that are not needed. Because, my gawd I have tried soooooooooo many and it's costly.
Boron has anti inflammatory properties as well, it just didn't make the list.
This is very helpful information = It was like I was in a classroom everything explained very clearly in details= Thank you for shearing
You're welcome!
Just found this...and Wow! Thanks Dr. Childs. Very informative and well presented. I'm glad to get this kind of guidance for my Hashimoto's.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you for being so thorough. x
Welcome!
Yes! Speaking of fluoride bromide and chlorine ALL ares the key in our health. So we should watch what we eat: bromide in all bread, cookies chloride in water and fluoride in water ... Anyone reading this pay attention what you eat. Cook for yourself and watch all ingredients

You are absolutely right about the vitamin B 12 Methylcobalamin sublingual. 😉
Excellent video. Have you ever thought about vitamin D? I have a vitamin D deficiency and hypothyroidism. I'm on 7000 IU a day and an endo monitors me. Vitamin D deficiency saps my energy, gives me depression, makes me gain weight, and also gives me bone pain. If my level doesn't go up next Friday, my endo will have to prescribe vitamin D for me.
He mentions this in the video
I greatly appreciate your video. Thank you so much. Thank you for all your hard work ❤
Dr Child’s, I greatly enjoyed this presentation.
One question: What is Reverse T3 and should it be included in the thyroid test panel? It is not included in the Quest Labs form.
Thank you I am so excited to do this. I feel your compassion I've needed this for soo many years.
Thank you so much , I was just looking for this info.. I have been suffering so long with low energy and id not know the reason why... I am really really greatful

Now I'm wondering if metformin is depleting b12 which is cascading to these other problems. I noticed that feel great with vitamins with selenium. I start metformin because of an infection. Yeast infection usually starts the blood sugar problem. Is that from antibiotics? Or SIBO? Possibly. My blood sugar is VERY dependent on yeast infections.
Thank you for this information. what's the name of the probiotic you recommend taking?
Oh wow this is so me. I have Hashimotoes and the adrenal fatigue is so bad, the mental fog. I’m 53 and I’m a MA. I work in Dermatology so I’m on my feet all day and lately I feel like I’m experiencing short term memory and I totally get the feeling of crashing between 2-3 pm. Thank you for this video. I need to talk with my doctor for further blood work
No problem!
Thank you so much! You have NO IDEA how informative this was! God bless you.
Ask for adrenal fatigue whoever reads these comments its calf liver u need to eat , 4 to 8 ounces 3 times per week for about 1 to 2 weeks And you will be very surprised of the outcome good luck everyone God bless
Hi doc! I was diagnosed of hashimoto 2years ago. Now im taking b12. What is The right mcg of b12 should i take everyday? Please help. Thanks doc
thank you very much I suffer from hypothyroid I learned that I was in the right path when I was drinking my vitamins. I appreciate this information thank you
My Dr. won't even check to see i I'm deficient in any kind of vitamins.
nemesis1340 sounds like it’s time for you to find another doctor who will actually listen to you. I had to do the same thing! When you go to someone else and they start off with, “I don’t want to say someone has been doing you wrong in terms of your treatment.” It doesn’t feel too good. I know my previous doctor did nothing intentional, but I’m grateful I finally am with a doctor who listens and is putting my in touch with a medical team to help with my now complicated thyroid condition. I wish you the best of luck!
nemesis1340 you clearly need a new doctor. I was hypothyroid from around 3-4 years old (that’s as far back as I remember the symptoms) I’m now 28 and had my thyroidectomy last year. Took me 26 years to figure out what was going on with me. Don’t give up!
Fire that dirt bag!
nemesis1340 that describes all of them in my general area.
Elaine Clements Finn exactly! what do you do when you've already switched three times and this third one has his own team of people right there so hes reluctant to give me a referral to see a specialist. im 40 and ive been suffering for 8 years he may no some about the thyroid but his lack of bedside manner teamed with the fact that he grows very annoyed for me wanting to see a specialist. he wont listen to me and now tht my desease has progressively gotten worse that i now have mild regurgitation in all four heart chambers, oh and hed decided its nothing to worry about we will check it yearly and get this...he wants to handle my heart issues as well. Ive got 4 teens and 2 year old sweet little girl that needs her momma here, these drs are just going to let me die. what gives.
I want to point out that in mexico almost everything has iodized salt and I was veryyyyyy ill . be careful . I lost 83 pounds before i looked at my blood. I am a phlebotomist and i was shocked to see my thyroid had done a 180 and i was basically od'ing on iodine,
Homocysteine level, yeah a doctor who gets it!
Thank you. Great point that you could add hormone but still not be getting B-12. More towards the cure.
So then can I ask what is your opinion on taking moringa powder as a supplement because of its vitamin abundance.
Thank you Dr , its helpful with your clear explanation. Appreciate your time and love for people . Yes i enjoyed
Thank you so much for the video!
Taking iron causes hepcidin to lock iron - hemachromotosis/iron overload and anemia - methylfolate is the fix discovered since 1955 PubMed
Vanadium (BMOV) fixes this via DMT (divalent metal transport)
Chromium fixes this too (take 70mg daily)
Berberine is slower
The level of B12 is 1800 in the blood but I still feel the same symptoms
Great information thank you so much what amount of zinc in milligrams would you suggest
excellent information!
