Re: Hypothyroid & feeling much better
I don't really know if the cottage cheese/flax helps with thyroid or not. It is not purported to help with thyroid - the research is with cancer, I just thought I'd try it.
I am doing so many things at once. I am using my intuition, combined with research to make decisions. I am mainly following
Dr. Schulze 's protocol, but vary when I feel I need to. I tried the cottage/flax mixture for a few weeks, and then just started using the flax oil alone because it didn't feel as clean to eat dairy products. If I decide to incorporate dairy, this is the food I'll do it with.
I'm going on the theory that if I strengthen my whole body, my thyroid will balance out too. I think that is what is happening - that my body is responding to the whole program.
I didn't do well on the Holistic Horizons cleanse, and am now doing
Dr. Schulze 's programs - bowel, liver, kidney.
I am weaning off the same medication as you are. I am at .50 mg, which is half of what I was taking a few months ago. I am getting off it slowly, and that seems to work. As my body gets stronger, I don't need the medication as much, and so far it has been a smooth transition. I tried getting off it last year without all the changes I've recently made, and ended up on twice the dosage, so I'm being extra careful, and going slowly.
Good luck with everything!
