(part 2)

I'm starting having mental confusion,abds hurts (joints too),hair sucks. Time ago I suffered from hgh and igf-1 deficiency too (together hypothyroidism). So they putted me on several stimulating tests as GHRH-arginine(4 times within 3 years) ,a 9IU insulin shot (Insulin-induced hypoglycemia test) and TRH test. NOW I need only one test. I need a synthetic TSH administration in order to "jump-start" my own T4 secretion ,then (in this way) I'll health, I hope.

Hi all. I suffer from hypothyroyd condition from April '08 when a doctor of mine missed the diagnosis (wrong one) submiting me on a medicine cicle as Eutirox (synthetic T4). I stayed on T4 for a month.

Now, after almost 4 year, my thyroid function doesn't improve but rather getting worse.

Some days ago I started feel sick and a sort of ACV [apple cider vinegar] and very cold. My TSH is just 6 ,so my doc (another one) told me I must stay this way without taking synthetic thyroid hormones.

@926531 You are correct, it's also in medication, foods and industry pollution, which can be a bigger problem because of the higher dose levels.

Industry is dumping Hydrofluorosilicic acid in the water, along with trace amounts of Arsenic, Lead & Cadmium to help reduce tooth decay. 2+2=5 or should I say 2+2=$. One of the greatest Frauds ever in my lifetime.
