The WORST Supplements For Your Thyroid
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2023
- Using the right supplements has the potential to help you manage your thyroid symptoms and support your thyroid. Using the wrong supplements can do the exact opposite.
In fact, using the right supplements is even worse because not only will they not help you feel better, but you're also wasting money.
This video outlines some of the WORST supplements and WORST formulations that thyroid patients can take.
If you are looking to improve thyroid function and better manage your symptoms then you'll want to avoid these supplements and ingredients:
1. Magnesium oxide.
2. Zinc oxide.
3. High-dose iodine.
4. Cyanocobalamin.
5. Vitamin D2.
Instead of using these formulations, you will want to opt for magnesium glycinate, zinc glycinate, low-dose iodine, methylcobalamin, and vitamin D3.

NOTE: I incorrectly stated that the Japanese consume 1-3 GRAMS per day. What I meant (and what the picture shows) is that they consume 1-3 MILLIGRAMS per day. Sorry for the confusion!
@@lanceevans1689 @Lance Evans The source flashes up on the screen when I discuss their intake: www.env.go.jp/en/chemi/rhm/basic-info/1st/03-07-16.html
Also, based on population studies, there's plenty of data to suggest that iodine intake over 300 mcg per day results in thyroid autoimmunity: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8106604/
"More specifically, a number of data suggest that only iodine supplementation regimens attaining relatively high median UIC levels (i.e., 200 µg/L or more) are able to induce relevant long-term alteration of thyroid function due to autoimmune disease, and the relationship between population iodine supply and occurrence of AITD could be depicted by a “U-shaped” function [70, 71]: in other words, the likelihood of developing thyroid autoimmune diseases would increase when median population UIC exceeds approximately 300 µg/L, but as well when is less than 100 µg/L (see Fig. 1)"
@@drwestinchilds Thank you.
of what
What type of iodine is best?
does it matter?
Abridged version…
1.) preferred mg supplement is Magnesium glycinate
2.) preferred zinc supplement zinc citrate or zinc glycinate
3.) >1000ug iodine doses are to be avoided. 150-300ug
4.) preferred B12 supplement methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, or hydroxycobalamin.
5.) get 1000-10000IU of D3 daily.
Thank you for the short version. 🌻
Thank you so much for this
Very thoughtful, thank you 😊
Thx
Thank You ❤
Thank you so much! Excellent information 👍🏾. I very much appreciate you giving your time to correctly educate us on real health! Doctors who really care about people’s health are rare!
You are reading the questions I have in my head Dr.😁...thank you soooo much! Plz keep knowing my questions😊
It's a sad fact that our GP's have little to zero training in hyper/hypo thyroid disease... after many years a nurse mentioned me going to an endochronologist for my care... she is not an MD but a highly trained nurse! She got it under control for me...
I’m my experience, nurses are WAY more useful at giving life saving advice than the crooks called PCP and GPS who basically just have the fancy certificate while they slowly kill people by not addressing any of their concerns. I am thankful that a nurse spotted my issue and gave advice that my stupid PCP couldn’t bother to give in YEARS of me suffering. I wish I could sue her honestly but I’d rather just focus on healing.
Sadly not all but many new doctors are quacks only interested in the money & career absolutely disgusting the human comes first in a civilised society of Caring & Care & a real willingness to know what you are talking about & adventurous to explore the unknown in medicine. I still respect the great men & woman in medicine but sadly the uncaring are creeping in 😊
endocrinologists i have sadly encountered have been extremely poorly trained, they are trained morre in diabetes! Theyve usually done about four hours on the thyroid! I have read five books by distringuished doctors on the thyrid ps numerous medical papers and transcripts. I eventually got put on T3 as I do not 'convert' the inactive hormone T4 and now, they are trying to get me taken off as it is more expensive than the useless synthentic thyroid pill levothyroxine. It makes me so angry they believe they can tar al with the same brush and not treat you as a whole individual being, so I will be taking legal action should they try and withdraw my treatment.
Of course, by far the best treatment is and was, NDT natural dessicated pigsthyroid...but big Pharma couldnt make a dime out of that, so they created a synthetic (NON identical piece of rubbish) called levothyroxine and similar with many bulking agents and only one so called hormone, t4 - an inactive pre- hormone - whereas we need all the thyroid hormones
My GP wouldn't even discuss anything other than take levo..he sent me to an Endo with my questions. Endo put me on Synthroid because it is more stable than levo.
But even my endo doesn't seem to know all of this plus other researching I've done. Now he did tell me(which is true) that if taking Biotin, it needs to be stopped 3-4 days before bloodwork to get a true reading on tsh, t4,t3 etc...he was correct. Accidentally forgot to not take and had to redo my bloodwork. The reading was different.
So anything with biotin you take, stop taking it 3-4 days before bloodwork!
Endocrinologist refferal is the way to go in the States, Canada, UK or Europe?
Thank you so much for the clarity that’s nearly impossible to find! Any suggestions on when/how to take these? For example some say zinc on an empty stomach as phytates and other nutrients compete with its absorption? Thanks again 😊
Good day doctor Child. Thank you for sharing your information. God bless 🙏
HUGE THANKYOU for sharing SO much info on RUclips. Life changing for so many people. I can’t thank you enough.
Great info! I was able to reverse Hashimotto Thyroiditis by taking Magnesium G, Brazil nuts and Iodide-iodine. I'm 60, take no meds, I do intermittent fasting. I take quite a few supplements according to my needs. I feel great!
🎉😁
Thank you doctor for these videos! I recently found your channel and subscribed. Can you please do a video, on the types of food a person should eat and vitamins to take to keep the thyroids healthy naturally? I am confused about what to do, to make myself feel better it's a daily struggle. I have the symptoms of a sluggish metabolism and thyroid but my doctor said everything is okay whenever I ask to see an endocronologist. But before I stop going to her which was 4 months ago. She told me my estrogen level was a little bit low and D3 as well.
Wow! Thank you so very much! That was very very informative.
Excellent summmary!
Much appreciated!👍
Thanks Doc, loved this video so subscribing. So much goes over my head, but can hear enough to be helpful. 🙏🏼🌿
Thank you 🙏 - your videos are very helpful
What a boatload of info. I thought I was pretty well informed but you just dropped a bunch of new (to me) info. Thank you so much!
You always have great content. Thank you!
Wow Dr.Childs,it's so detailed explanation. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and professional knowledge with people around the world 🌎 😊
But on checking the back of my supplements box it doesn't tell you what type anything is. For example: manganese is all it says also, zinc is listed but none say what type! I didn't even know there were different types. I'm more confused than ever.
Thank you for these back to back videos doc, quite helpful.
Are zinc sulphate or zinc acetate any good
Zinc sulfate is what is recommended by many health experts
high doses of Iodine (especially artificial Iodine) are very harmful for the Thyorid gland - thank you for mentioning this
I was fully aware of all you said in your other video, but this one has added so much invaluable info to me. I knew that cyanocobalamin is toxic and so I've been taking methylcobalamin, but in order to increase my B12 levels, I started taking a complex B vitamin tablets which sadly included the poisonous cyanocobalamin and I FAILED to check the label small print. Well, guess what, my TSH, which had always been normal, rose 3-fold. The only changes I made to my eating habits were to improve them last year right after taking a blood test . Too many people have genetic polymorphisms and haven't a clue about them. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH, DOCTOR! HAVE A BLESSED EASTER SUNDAY!
Helpful Information. Thank you.
Very good information. Thank you!
Thank you for your advice.
Very helpful; I was diagnosed early this year with hashimotos.
Subscribed.
I just watched an interesting YT clip of a man that correlates the thyroid and vitamin D for hasimotos… it could be worth looking into he saw big health changes… if I can find the link and get back to this comment I will… I just saw your comment and thought I’d pass it on it could be interesting for someone diagnosed like him it seemed quite hopeful.
10 weeks sober. Listening to your vedios has helped so much. If i have a bad day your vedios are my govto for support. Still having the crazy quirks of funny feeling in sides stomach back. Been checked out and everything is ok. I guess just part of the healing process. Thanks for what you are doing
Thanks a lot for the video, do you have a video in which you explain what supplement we should take if we can not take vitamin D because of high level of calcium in blood?
You’re a good man for spreading this knowledge thank you!
Thank you Dr Child's ive found your videos excellent.
I wish you were here in NW Arkansas. I can't seem to get the help I really need. Thank you for your videos, they do help!
Thanks for the zinc info.
You've got a good thread going here. Overall gratitude.
But, I'd love to see you go further into iodine toxcity. I didn't see a case made....
Thanks dr for the great video ❤❤
Thanks again Dr Childs
Much much needed information.
Excellent explanation and summary
Doctor thank you so much for teaching, what about zinc gluconate is it good?
thank you for the information, just checked my magnezium , yep , its an oxyie type, spring valley brand. Will be switching ,Thank you
Never looked back from seeing a naturopathic practitioner who diagnosed my thyroid issue when the medical system left me for dead. She prescribes all the correct and real suppliments. I am on NO pharmaceuticals whatsoever at 56 years old. Used natural supplements through menopause too.
Glad you are telling people the wrong suppliments can be dangerous too used incorrectly. I also cannot have iodine.
What did she give you. Thankyou..
@@donnakeizer1468 see a professional naturopathic practitioner to pinpoint your individual needs before self medicating. I can't have iodine so she found the only suppliment that didn't contain it. Otherwise there are many out there. I did an extensive blood test for it with her. This is in Australia. The suppliment is China Med Thyrotone formula. But you may need iodine. There are other suppliments that may help too so have a good search on the internet. Herbs of gold hormone metabolism. Boron. Etc.
@@donnakeizer1468 I also had to have other complimentary vitiman and minerals. B12, selenium and more.
I can’t have any iodine either. Can’t even use the mouth wash for sore throats. 😬
wrong decison
Your daily thyroid multivitamin has made a huge change in my health, thank you! So glad I found your product line.
Me too!!! I’m feeling so much better since listening to Dr Childs❤
The one on his website?
Wow, excellent info. Thx!!
Thanks for those precious informations. With my subclinical hyperthyroidism I was doing wrong with b12, D and magnesium.
I have hypothyroidism am on a carnivore diet ...lost hair ...yes watched your videos on hair loss my issue was thinking I should take supplements about a month after starting to eat carnivore I just realized cause was from taking all the supplements at same time as the levotyroxine which blocked asorbtion... Ended up with no weight loss on 1100 cal diet, alopecia, dry skin,swollen ankles. Ugh I immediately moved all supplements to afternoon and a week later... Swelling down on ankles lost 3 lbs have clear brain again. I didn't know what had caused it so I quit all the supplements like zinc, d3, magnesium and only took multivitamines. Oh... Most important is I was eating way too many Brazil nuts!!! So HUGE THANK YOU for educating us I brought my BP down from 165/110 to 120/70 and am on my way to healthy weight with about 2 lb loss per week. I'm 5' 2 and 171 yrs young! Started at 210 lbs July 2nd. I will have bloodwork done but with different MD mine under prescribes cuz he's afraid of heart palps... By the time I get to 120 it will be about right ha!! Doc gave me fit D shot in 2018 said I would be er need more cuz liver stores it is it ok to take one pill daily of D3?
Your Dr wants you on a synthetic thyroid medication. I was on the same for more than ten years. I used to get so hot, but wasn't sweating. I researched and found Armour thyroid. Within days of starting it, it was 90* and actually started sweating. Woo hoo! My body is trying to be normal!
Well, it's better, but not 100% yet.
I'm starting the Carnivore lifestyle. Let's see where that takes me.
Your Dr will fight you about changing to the pig thyroid medication if that's what you want. After all, it's your body, and you have the right to say what you want to put in it.
Brazil nuts have a lot of selenium!
It is both fascinating and frustrating to listen to various MDs and DOs concerning chronic issues. On salt intake, iodine dosage, red meat yes, red meat no, etc., one says X, another Y. Add to that list some D.Pharms. I have had far better success working with doctors of Naturopathic Medicine with the rarest exceptions. Sadly, they are licensed only in some 14 states. The med school in my state has several on their teaching staff.
Hello! Would you mind sharing the College Name and State that it is located in? Thank you!
Awesome info doctor 🥰🙏🙏🙏 Billion of thanks 🥰
Thankyou...could you please talk about what foods to eat for hyshimotos disease..
I just became a new Subscriber, and it would have been helpful to have these put up on the screen ( in a good form to screenshot it,) ...just a suggestion.
My vitamin D level is low so my doctor prescribed vitamin D at a high dosage. I assumed it was D3 and I realized that it was D2. I stopped taking it and went to a D3 and K2 drops. So, unfortunately, some doctors don’t even know this about vitamin D and DO prescribe it! That’s why as a Hashimoto’s patient, you have to seek out doctors like you to stay educated.
Your K2 needs to be MK7 not MK5 and most doctors prescribing it do not know that. It's the one that activates the D3.
My mom was on D2 high dose and she had a lot of issues especially with her blood being too thin.
No idea why doctors prescribe D2!
My Doc knows I'm allergic to soy and proscribed a vitamin D pill for me, not knowing that it was based in soy oil... From several different consults with various Doctors, I picked up that at least in NZ, Doctor's cannot even see the contents of the things that they proscribe.... And half the thyroid meds contain gluten, which is bad for sufferers of thyroid diseases!
Go to Cayman Chemical SDS and go to section 2 you'll see ☠️ in section 2, read warnings. Cholecalciferol in D3 is also an effective rodenticide😳
Right, my doc prescribed the high dose intially to boost my D level. I never took it, i just took a slightly higher D3 then slower lower it and then continued with a maintenance dose. It worked fine.
AWESOME VIDEO !
You rock my friend.
Glad you tell it like it is !!!
Thank you for the summary in the description.
I have been on synthroid for 51 years and since listening to one of your videos I started taking it at night and sleeping much better. Thank you.
Henriet
Please, to which Dr. Childs' video are you referring to? Thanks.
Oh yeah - my problem is waking with pounding heart - I should try taking my levo at night ! Am taking my magnesium bisglycinate regularly now - and eating lower histamine - no dairy no gluten - no chocolate 😢- no black or green tea - less sugars - no refined sugar but do use carbs in my homemade gluten free lectin free bread- wondering if it’s the bread causing me to have this racing heart - trial and error !
Iodized salt: tricky for those of us who like salt. I didn't realize I was overdosing on Iodine with my salt.
TSH was 0.061 , I stopped using Iodized salt and it went up to 0.24 in about a month and staying there now for months. Still below normal but lots better. (Normal FT4 I'm a male in late 30's. Didn't expect I'd be dealing with this.)
I heard Absorbable Natural Sea Salt is much better.
@@virginiawilhelmi540
I'm using Himalayan pink salt now.
THANK YOU I happen to be taking the right magnesium, I will take less od the Iodine and as far as Vit D my labs say I am on the high side or normal: I am outside in the sun gardening a lot. Nice videos.
Dr Childs, I saw a Dr. Berg video on D3. 2-3 yrs ago that changed my life! For autoimmune he recommended 40,000 IU's daily! I did that for a few months. My skin looked amazing. My dark circles went away, it reduced inflammation and made the terrible pain so much less! He said 40,000 IU's puts autoimmune into remission.
Once I felt better I dropped down to 10,000 IU's.
That’s great, how long did it take to feel well enough to drop down to 10,000? I take 10 now, but I’m thinking of increasing it like you did just feel nervous about it
@@lindapelle8738 hi do u take 10000 iu daily n do u take k2 alongwith it??
Yes, do take K2 with the D3.
@@lindapelle8738 I trust Dr. Eric Berg. I think it's important to hear the info directly from him to completely understand why and not take the advice from a comment. It has to completely make sense to you and you have to feel comfortable about it. He does recommend taking D3 with K2. I eat the suggested foods with K2. I'm not a doctor. Just another person like you trying to learn all I can to improve my health.
@@lindapelle8738 I did it for a good while. Maybe 2 months. As I felt better I dropped it down.
You're one of the good ones, doc. As soon as I get on high amounts of iodine I can feel my throat becoming uncomfortable. Last time I felt that almost daily it caused subacute thyroiditis. I'm now on a protocol to help my body recover but noticed as soon as I got the same sensation in my throat that my intake of iodine is again really high due to the supplements I was put on. I stopped cold turkey and I retried three days later to take thyroid nutrition, again it started. So now I'm cold turkey again and watching it little by little to get back on a normal dosage when my body will be OK with it again. I dare say my body seems even happier lacking iodine than taking too much.
What does that feel like in your throat ? I’m trying to recognize if any throat discomfort could be from foods containing too much iodine or just a sore throat from mouth breathing while sleeping .
@@SleeplessinOC it's a weird sensation like something is growing or moving around. It also makes your neck swell as well. It's super uncomfortable. I think that basically what happens is you develop thyroid swelling (a goiter).
I started taking iodine and within a couple of weeks I started to feel a weird sensation in my throat, almost like a lump was there or it was sore, hard to describe. I suspected the iodine and I stopped. Within a few days to a week my throat felt back to normal and I know it was the iodine making my throat feel weird. I was taking the recommended dosage on the bottle (150 mcg), it was a liquid and the directions were to take one drop daily. I started taking it because I have low energy, but I rather have that than problems with my thyroid.
Do not take iodine orally...I buy liquid iodine from swanson vitamins ..put on skin about the size of fifty cent piece...you will only absorbe what your body needs . If you feel you are over sensitive to iodine do a smaller patch on skin .
What about topical liquid iodine. Thanks for for all videos
Thank you FOR YOUR HELP
Muchas gracias . Le agradesco esta importante informacion. Nuestro Senor lo bendiga grandemente.
I am hypothyroid and take levothyroxine. I take a multivitamin, D3, and Omega 3 fish oil. The multivitamin is from Whole Foods. I hope this covers any nutritional deficiencies I may have. I also eat 2 brazil nuts a day. I dont smoke or drink and I try to walk 3 times a week.
I tried levothyroxine and all other synthetics. They made me feels worse. There’s no substitute for natural desiccated thyroid, like Armor, NP Thyroid or Naturethroid!
@@pleiadesluciernaga8877 Glad you feel well 👍🏻
@@pleiadesluciernaga8877I disagree. Perhaps it depends on the person. Desiccated thyroid/Armor was one of the worst things for me, and I wish I’d never given in to the hype. Thankfully I went to speak to an endocrinologist, she put me back on the proper dosage of levothyroxine, and I’ve been great ever since.
After more than a year of D3 supplementation, my levels were still too low. My doctor switched it to D2 - a super high dose to be taken once a week, and it finally raised my D levels to the normal range.
She said not everyone absorbs D3.
No nos magnesium oxide use mag glysoid, dont use zinc oxide use zinc citrate,or glysonate cost abit more but u need less,high doses of iodine , recommended dose 1_150 300 micrograms range, phyco cabalaman for b12 contains cyanide and synthetic not for thyroid ppl,use alternatives methon cabilaman,, hydroxic cabalaman,adenasil cabaliman, vitamin D2, use D3 preferred, all spelling phonetically ...
Who is your doctor I’m in Charlotte and Virginia.
Try a d3 with k2, the k2 helps it absorb.
Vitamin D2 is synthetic. It may raise the test level but it doesn’t help you. Research it for yourself and do what’s best for you. I’ve had low vitamin D for over a decade and took it in high doses. Researched and made my own changes to correct my health. Autoimmune issues restrict absorption. Heal the gut to absorb better.
If the dosage was not at least 10 k per day then it does not work and with magnesium. Also if normal is above 30 then it is far too low. Need to get it up to 50-60
I use pure irish moss for Iodine. I rinse it many times after I soak it to cleanse it. Add purified water to it and blend it into a gel. Take 2 tablespoons per day. I feel much better.
Seaweed is the best for thyroid function. I like zinc picolinate Great advice , thank you

Moringa very high in oxalates. Look into that pls.
@@nancyd304 According to Dr. Mark E. Olson, a researcher at Mexico's national university and an expert on the biology of the genus Moringa, the oxalates are not a problem with Moringa. In a 2013 article on the International Moringa Germplasm Collection website: "Even though there are large amounts of oxalates in Moringa leaves, it is found in a form that is simply excreted by the body. Oxalates that are excreted do not circulate in the body, and therefore can't contribute to kidney stone formation." The article is titled: 'Cool Moringa Research: Radek and Savage On Calcium Oxalate.'
Hi can I get her details I live in OZ

@@dutchesscarniegegordon56 Lugol is iodine, (YODO) in Spanish. read about it, good for the thyroid.
Started losing hair 4 weeks after supplementing iodine. 2 years later and 70 percent hair loss I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I was able to then track my start of hair loss started but I never put it together until I was diagnosed and saw an overdose iodine could cause hyperthyroidism. Years of hell and only finally starting to recover please be careful.
Hi Jenn, did you recover? Did your hair come back?
@@1984schizosturm I went on Methamozole and it helped with hair loss. However I took medication only as needed after awhile now not at all. I drink coriander tea daily, boron water 3 times a week . A lot of supplements it’s been a struggle. I still have a lot of symptoms and my hair is still a little brittle. I looked at blood tests and although not anemic I have low iron saturation. So taking liquid iron now for that. Hair is coming back just trying to keep it now. Had thick hair to waist now it’s shoulder length. Just want my health back. Can’t believe an iodine supplement can do so much damage! The thyroid takes a very long time to balance out if ever. Not worth taking a supplement I thought I needed and clearly didn’t!
How much iodine were you taking?
@@Jenn-777 yeah you need to be ultra careful with iodine and iron too. i supplemented iodine and i think i almost became diabetic or severely insulin resistant becasue of it. that was 5 years ago and it took a long time to recover. eating a bit of seaweed wrap with sushi is more than enough.
I rode that Iodine wave everybody seemed to be on during the Plandemic I was taking 1 or 2 drops of Loguls 2% in distilled water daily. Went to the doc for something unrelated …. my THS WAS 19! Was normal the blood draw before that !
I’ve been avoiding taking zinc because it upsets my stomach! Happy to know about the different types that are better for us and maybe I can tolerate!
I also had problem with zinc when I took it on an empty stomach one morning I had to rush and went without breakfast.
@@melinachessex961 I checked my eye vitamins, they include zinc oxide. I ordered two types of zinc just this morning. Hoping to find one that is easier on my stomach.

Where Cani find full advice for low thyroid This man is brillient
Keep watching his videos. He is very well educated.
feels so good that I already knew the info prior to watching the video. I also remember that this much iodine as 1000 mg is about natural iodine forms that for example is in seaweed. potassium iodine is the most common form that you would find and it's recommended up to 300mg per day. so there is this only difference
Thanks for sharing. What amount of seaweed
@@dutchesscarniegegordon56 I really never counted like that, I think rarely daily intake will exceed that number. But I suggest it depends on type of seaweed since there are many. you just need to Google it like "iodine in "type of seaweed" per 100 gram".
for egs I got that about "wakame"
"Wakame seaweed is a powerhouse of iodine that contains about 42 mg per 100 grams". so roughly I think it's like that. I believe there are supplements that contain this certain type of iodine, so you don't have to eat all of that amount of seaweed if you have like a severe deficit or something. I personally order packages of dry seaweeds that you can put in water and in some time they look like usual, so I could add the to soup etc. at least where I live there are always some preservatives, sugars and high price for this food in stores, it's cheaper to order really
Very nice. Thank you
I use Sucrosomial Magnesium and Magnesium Malate. My iodine is from sea moss
Thank you very much , you are the best.
Excellent video
I take magnesium citrate helps me sleep and it also cured my panic attacks that I had for 20 years

Every doctor has the "answer". Be your own sherpa when it comes to navigating the snow storms of health.
😂 tell yourself what you want...you like to sound wise, do you?
That's correct. However right from the start I heard something that many MD's doesn't know and they give incorrect info to their patients- Mg oxide. It has only 4% absorption in human body and that's if the GI tract works at top 100%. To my professional knowledge over 80% of people have impaired digestion.
I've listened to a lot of thyroid videos. After a while, you can tell who understands the nuances of hypo and hyperthyroidism. Dont be your own "sherpa." This guy is informed.

Hi.
But why do you say then in another separate Iodine video that it is safe to take up to 12mg and you even say its ok to start with 6mg?
I am taking currently 5mg daily.
Do you think this is sustainable long term without side effects?
Thank you
I take magnesium glycinate daily.
@Dr. Child's... My Caltrate Calcium (that I have to take per doctor for bone density) has both Zinc Oxide and Magnesium Oxide in it. Also, my multi vitamin Centrum Silver Wome50+ has both Zinc Oxide and Magnesium Oxide. Do you suggest I stop taking these and replace them with something else? Or are these okay in small amounts if I wanted to take Zinc and/or Magnesium as an extra supplement, just don't take the oxides? Please answer if you have a moment. Thank you.
Centrum, one a day, nature's etc. Are all vitamins made by pharma Co's.......they are garbage vitamins , they want you on their drugs $$$$$.
Centrum vitamins have been tested among many high end brands and is rated the WORST supplements available.
also drug store brands, walmart brand usually have little to no amount of the advertised ingredient within, esp when using hers. examination has shown no herbs present but other greens including lawn grass. Pls check out professional rating of supplement brands.
Can you speak to the impact viral hepatitis may have on the thyroid conversion of t4 to t3 in the liver, since 60 percent of t3 comes from the liver.
thanks. please do some stuff. Need to please add stuff for us who have NO thyroid. Yes, I'm a thyroid cancer survivor twice over,.And remind folks to have blood checked after those huge weight losses. Post-stroke mine has gone crazy.and lost 35 lbs so far. working on 20 more.
About iodine, you should read David Brownstein's book.
I'm not buying that part about high doses of iodine being toxic. At least when it comes to lugol's iodine.
My Hashimoto's started after I took a high iodine supplement which I took thinking it would help my ailing thyroid.
I have the mthfr mutation and have been taking methyl B12 for years as well as magnesium glycinate and zinc glycinate. After my mistake with the iodine I did alot of research before I started taking any other supplements.
I also take liquid D3 which is the only form that works for me.
Do you still have high anti-bodies? Have you gone into remission since stopping iodine supplementation?
@@jessieportilo7595 no I haven't gone into remission and I still have high antibodies.
Dr, I wanted to tell you that I am on levothyroxin, medicine but I’m also on citalopram and Wellbutrin and Prilosec. Where do I start to get my Health back on track?
Thankyou for this information, I looked on my organic mag tablet bottle and it says Chelate acid for better absorbance chelate acid , aspartrate, citrate and smaller amount of oxotrate my Orgainic Zinc say 30mg oxitrate35mg citrate 30mg gloconate still no good with this combo?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto, why don’t my endocrinologist tell me these things?
Medical schools don't teach nutrition in general, and specialists are trained in the diagnosis and medications to alleviate/address symptoms. It takes too much time (money) to tailor a treatment plan for each patient as everyone reacts differently to foods/supplements and/or has different deficiencies, etc. They can just Rx some 'synthroid' or whatever and tweak the dose. and get on to the next patient.
My ex has Hashimoto's and I've watched her research things for the past 20 yrs. on her own. She's fortunate to have the ability to read studies and other medical/scientific material.
The trickiest symptom is the brain-fog that creeps in when one should get their levels checked and/or adjust their dose. She doesn't realize it's happening and when other symptoms appear, doesn't think 'oh, yeah' I need to get my TSH, etc. checked.
@@stringlarson1247 You are right, profits (money) dictates our medical world. Thyroid is not a profitable disease to treat while diabetes is. Insulin is a highly profitable drug while Synthroid and Levothyroxine are not. I have repeatedly tried to find an endocrinologist to treat my thyroid unsuccessfully. Over and over I am turned away being told this doctor only treats diabetics. THIS IS WHAT COMES FROM A FOR PROFIT MEDICAL PARADIGM.
Totally agree plus it is good for businesses you are on paid medications your entire life...
Me running to my kitchen to double check all my supplements to make sure they are all the proper ingredients and doses 🏃🏼♀️ Thank You !! 🙏🏻
Hi Dr child....so I am having blood test what is it that we shouldn't take to see the real results. I am constantly tired amd want to sleep sleep at a wrong time.
Also to know if I a
Lack in these vitamins what should I do. They also saying my Cholesterol Is on the high 3.4 they are pushing for me to have cholesterol tablets which I don't want. Help me. What do I do to get best result when doing blood test.
I developed thyroid nodules from eating HIGH OXALATE DIET.
I also had extreme fatigue and low aldosterone due to iron deficiency FROM the high oxalate diet.
These issues disappeared on their own when I removed those foods and added in more animal protein.
When will nutritionists and nutrition schools catch on and stop pushing people to eating spinach and nuts.
These schools must be paid big bucks from big Agra to push these foods. Cattle farms have known for over a hundred years to keep their cattle away from high oxalate plants
On the subject of iodine, our WHOLE BODY uses iodine, not just the thyroid. Skin, sweat glands, salivary glands, breasts, ovaries, the list goes on.
Correct but if someone has Autoimmune Hypothyroidism called Hashimotos then they must avoid any extra iodine because it stimulates thyroid gland and that shoots up the TPO autoimmune antibodies which attack thyroid gland among other organs and are not good
Yea so idk why he says anything over 1000 micrograms can cause hashimoto disease and thyroid issues. I’m so damn confused now
I have had a complete thyroidectomy because of Subclinical hyperthyroidism, a years old care of Graves Disease which was not responding to medication and Hypo parathyroid disease. I have packymeningitis and have had a biopsy of the brain lining covering my right lobe and I had a heatstroke due to hyponatremia caused by the parathyroid disease. I spent four weeks in the hospital because of that and I had to go to rehab to learn house to stand and walk again. I graduated from a wheelchair to a rollater Walker and now use a cane. This has all occurred since I lost eyesight in my right eye ten months ago. Please do a video on what we should do after a total thyroidectomy.
I would like to see a video on people who don’t have a thyroid as well!
😮 WOW!!
This lamberts multigard ARD was given to me from a specialist, with some cheaper ingredients like you said , what u think ?
Zinc Picolinate. Is this a good form to take? My supplement bottle says to take one 25 mg caplet daily. It also contains 102 mg of calcium and 79 mg of phosphorus. Are these additions okay? Thanks.
Eating sardines after learning about the benefits, selenium, vit D3, zinc, b vit.... oh and omega3 good for lowering inflammation
Omega 3 aka fish oil is the worst u could take …..
@@anir8023who say so? Omega 3 from fatty fish like sardines, mackerel is very healthy
@@annamaria1972 I said fish oil not fish itself.
ruclips.net/video/F1yQrpXFAqo/видео.html
@@annamaria1972 take an omega with flax seed oil too
I myself do not take fish oil, could be rancid or cut with some other oil, so i eat 1 can a day of sardines in water
Much appreciated good advice from you doctor. I found out that i've got 2 copies of the MTHFR mutation as well as a sluggish thyroid. I use an ace product - 'modifilan' which is a brown seaweed extract unlike any other. So check it out if you want. There is Ray Peat pHD whose work on thyroid metabolism hormones aging etc has helped me nut things out better than anyone i'd come across
What is the name of the Ray Peat PHD?
Thx for the Video ❤
Someone maybe have experiences whit Omega 3 ?
What’s the difference between magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide? My vitamins have hydroxide. Is that also to be avoided w/hypothyroidism?
I can personally attest to iodine supplementation triggering autoimmune thyroiditis. On the advice of a very well-known RUclips doctor, I started using three drops of Lugol's 2% solution a few years ago, and since then I have had two episodes of painless thyroiditis two years apart. The first episode resolved itself and my thyroid resumed normal function, but with this recent episode I haven't been so lucky-- my thyroid hasn't 'woken up' and my practitioner is now trying different thyroid meds on me to try to regulate my levels. During that two-year period my anti-TPO antibodies went up quickly, but thankfully they're creeping down now that I've stopped taking the offensive substance (I apparently was taking 7.5 mg of iodine daily). I had to discover this connection on my own, and my NP STILL wants to argue with me that it couldn't possibly have been the iodine. I'm very frustrated that by taking a supplement to, in my case, encourage breast health, I've caused a very significant problem. Urgh.
Me too. I was taking fairly high doses of Lugols Iodine daily for 2 years, and got Hashimotos. I don't know how to get my thyroid back to health, but have been taking a very good magnesium (as I found out from this video,) but only at night before bed; selenium 3 drops a day (I usually only remember once or twice though,) and D3. Oh, and zinc (the good one, according to this video.)
I'm not sure whether I should take Iodine at all, maybe just once in a while, and only a few drops in water..dunno. I'm living on my own and no money to spare, so these videos are very helpful.
The doctor told me early this year I had hypothyroidism/ hashimotos.
@@Tryagain563 I'm so sorry that this happened to you, too! Are you getting repeated lab work to see if your levels are improving now that you're off the iodine? My antibodies have started to go down, and hopefully yours are, as well. I don't know where you live, but I've found a lab here in the US in South Carolina that charges FAR less than doctors' offices for the lab work. I take the same supplements as you (my selenium is in capsule form, though) and I also take L-Tyrosine and chromium. They're both very cheap.
As far as taking more iodine, I realized that I get 150 mcg in my multi-vitamin and I also get some in dairy and other products, so I don't take the Lugol's at all anymore and I use salt with no iodine.
I wish you all the best, Lindy-Lou, and I hope your thyroid completely recovers!
@@Tryagain563 You're correct to suspect too high iodine as a possible cause of your problems. However, Not necessarily so. Another possibility to consider is it's Not the iodine that's causing your problem but possibly a Bromide storm that's occurring whereby the excess intake of iodine is displacing the Bromine (a iodine antagonist) in your tissues and the Bromide needs to be excreted by your body (a good thing) . The Bromide storm (which will take some time to pass) will make you feel lousy while it's taking place - IF, this happens to be what your problem is. So, maybe Unclear what your problem is, whether it's too much iodine or Bromide being displaced from your tissues. Only time will tell, preferably with the help of a knowledgeable health practitioner familiar with these issues and can run the proper tests.
@@milycome
Very interesting, what are you suggesting for removing bromide from our body ?! Greatly appreciated 🙏
@@moniryousefian8782 Most breads today are made with dough conditioners that have bromide (specificly Potassium Bromate) added to it (not usually listed in ingredients on the label) in the United States. I believe this ingredient in bread is illegal in Australia and many countries in Europe. Bromine has a negative / detrimental effect on the thyroid gland principally due to its ability to block the uptake of iodine (an important element for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland) . Instead of the important iodine being absorbed by the thyroid gland, detrimental Bromine becomes absorbed by the thyroid gland. This causes the gland to malfunction. Iodine and Bromine are both Halides and as such are members of the same group of chemical elements on the periodic table of elements in Chemistry. So, not surprising, they compete for absorption by the thyroid gland. When iodine supplements are taken, especially in relatively high doses as a supplement, for instance, the thyroid gland happily absorbs the necessary iodine, at the same time Bromine (or Bromide) starts to slowly more and more gets excreted into the bloodstream of the individual causing a negative feeling of malaise in the individual that can last for some time afterwards. This has sometimes been described as a " thyroid storm. " This feeling of malaise could take some time to disappear. The end result is often a healthier, better functioning thyroid gland. Now, get this. Hard to believe, but true. Decades ago in the United States they started to use Potassium Bromate as a dough conditioner / additive in bread. Before this use came into common practice in the United States the dough conditioner used was made from an element called (holy cow, holy Schmoly, No) iodine, no less. No can't be. But True. They caused the problem. Nowadays, some people scratch their heads, puzzled to explain why there is an increase in thyroid problems occurring in recent years in the US 😕😕😕😕. Message to the medical professionals : after I gave them the answer, stop being puzzled. Moral of the story : go back to using iodine as a dough conditioner for bread. Case Closed 🔒🔒🔒🔒.
Hello, Dr. Childs. I have Hashimoto's. I think I have had it for possibly 20 years or more now. I have so many symptoms that I didn't even were part of this, and were are treated separately and not even associated with my Hasimoto's, even by my Functional medicine doctor. Well, she was actually a PA, but was operating under a doctor's consultation in order to treat their patients. My question is this: I only discovered I have food allergens at age 50. I am through menopause. I have never been able to stand the heat much, but for the last 9 years or more now (I am 59), I am finding I can't take the heat at all. As my body seems to overheat even after a few minutes of moving. An example is when I get ready in the morning. By the time I get ready, I am sweating profusely around my head and neck. Any time I go out to window shop, even in the winter time, I am not comfortable in stores. I am too warm. I really suffer in the summer and prefer not to go anywhere, as I know how my body will react. No one seems to know what is causing this. Is it a medication--possibly, I have been told. Is it that my adrenals are completely shot? I am so tired of this, besides the fatigue. I have no true quality of life. I just recently discovered you on RUclips, and was amazed to learn so much already from you! I thought I would reach out to you to see if you could give me a clue. This is just opposite of what other Hashimoto's sufferers seem to experience-with being more cold than hot, isn't it? Please respond, as I really truly would like to know your thoughts on this. Thank you.
I am so sorry...I would do a major liver cleanse. Let's all be cognizant that Dr.'s are overdiagnosing almost all women with Hashimoto's as they get 10 times as much money with the tests, pills, office visits, injections, xrays, and more expensive medications. I researched this after working in a spa where women filled out a health form and 95% wrote down the H diagnosis.
Kelp and calendula, just in general lifestyle intake, corrected my Hashimoto's. I was just nibbling as I was gardening.
Is it possibly overactive (hyperthyroid). I complained to my incompetent GP for years that I was hot and tired, before he finally ordered blood tests. I couldn't bear clothing on my skin, avoided sun, hot even in winter. Test results showed hyperthyroid. After treatment, I became hypothyroid. Still tired all the time, 30 or so years later. Good luck, best wishes for recovery. Avril from South Africa.
