Thyroid suppression is particularly epidemic in our culture which is awash in xenoestrogens, fast food and obesity. The question of which comes first, thyroid or immune suppression is a good one, but two things are clear: 1. They often come together 2. Untreated thyroid suppression always leads to immune suppression As I have shared here before, we believe that glandular therapy is foundational to restoring the bioterrain, and we have included glandular support in the Burgstiner Wellness Protocol for critical organs such as the liver and thymus. However, some glandulars are not included because they should only be used when needed (such as adrenal and thyroid). When needed, nothing can match a full spectrum thyroid glandular (such as Armor or Naturethroid) because it imparts not only gland specific nutrients, but also information encoded in the RNA and DNA of the glandular materials that can be imparted in no other way. As your doctor has pointed out, our regulatory feedback systems are highly complex. Sometimes our bodies can do a better job of sorting through those relationships with full spectrum natural support. On the other hand, there are times when a very knowledgeable practitioner can successfully evaluate and manipulate these various factors (T3, T4, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies, mineral imbalances, etc.) when the body struggles to do so. Hopefully this will be the case for you. That being said, yes one would expect your serum TSH level to drop as blood levels of thyroid hormone are increased. The pituitary secretes TSH in order to stimulate levothyroxine production when blood levels are low (classic negative feedback loop). As I mentioned in your email, mineral deficiencies can be critical underlying factors in thyroid suppression - especially iodine and magnesium. Iodine is directly involved in converting thyroid hormone into its active form, so its a critical raw material for cellular energy production and normal metabolism. You are very fortunate to have a physician who is capable of helping you sort things out. It may take some time, but you definitely seem headed in the right direction. Please keep us posted on your progress. Warmest Regards, John |
