Today I'm gonna discuss  about the infamous Iodine and his best friend Selenium. These two mineral are really crucial for the well being of a healthy thyroid function. Our Thyroid produces Hormone T4 which then needs to be converted in to the active form of the thyroid hormone T3. The Letter T stands for Tyrosine and the number 4 and 3 are the amount of Iodine molecul attached to the tyrosine. So basically the thyroid hormones are made of Iodine. When your bodyis  lack in Iodine then you will develop an under active thyroid. If this situation continues then you might even develop Goiter. Unfortunately nowadays we are so heavily exposed to the other toxic halides such as the fluoride, bromide and chloride. They look so identical to Iodine because they belong to the same group in the periodic table called halogens. Iodine have a tough time competing with the other halides when it comes to making thyroid hormones.The body look at all the halides the same. That's the reaso...

While I get most of my nutrients from a nutrient dense diet but I feel that we still need to supplement on some vitamins or mineral as they are vital to our being. Some minerals are really hard to get the full daily required amount so the easy way is to supplement on it. I also always make sure that the supplements is allergen free.

So I apply around 20 sprays of Magnesium oil on my skin. If on certain stre...

I also experienced these whenever I increase my dosage. I have not noticed much improvement with symptoms. I still feel cold and hair fall so bad. I also started to develop  lower back pain and the pain just seem to get worse as the days went by. Levothyroxine which I was taking contains lactose as a filler. I started breaking out as well especially around my neck due to me being intolerant to dairy. I feel like quiting the pill but I want to do it safely. My last blood test reveal that my TSH was slightly elevated than the previous result.This was due to happen when you start with a starter dose of levo. So I have increased my dosage from 25 mcg to50 mcg to 75mcg to final increase of 100mcg and I was still not feeling any better. At this point I really started asking  myself if this medication really suits me. I was also sup...
