”I have been on Synthroid forever, and I really never get better.. My doctor told me Synthroid is the cure.” The recent lament of an acquaintance who found out that I am a Hashimoto/Hypothyroid person. Yeah, it’s a funny thing about that. You really don’t get better. Would I call it the cure? Ummm… no. You are the cure! But you won’t understand that until you find the doctor who can explain to you where that disease comes from, what’s aggravating it and how you can fix it yourself. That’s where Dr. Jack came in…..
I often now think that by far, the biggest lie I was ever told was the day they diagnosed me. The doctor looked at my results and said, “Yes, you have thyroid disease but it is the easiest thing to cure. I write you this prescription and you take it every day for the rest of your life and you are fine.” I bought that…. after all, what did I know? I was excited to wait six weeks and suddenly my life was going to back to normal. Nice fairy tale…. but I only started feeling normal about five weeks into Dr. Jack’s plan and normal got better every week.
The truth was the Synthroid couldn’t help anyway, since it wasn’t really getting to where it could have done any good! Heck, none of my body’s natural hormones were getting where they needed to go. Food wasn’t getting where it needed to go. Every single cell was inflamed and clogged. But no one explained any of that to me. They just sent me to see nutritionists who gave me new diets that I failed at as my symptoms increased. I was on a cycle of increasing Synthroid and ever worsening symptoms and weight.
I tried to help myself by doing so many “healthy” things that actually was completely aggravating my condition. I was eating so many “healthy”options, following every diet I could lay my hands on in an attempt to halt my rising weight and awful symptoms. But nothing stopped it. And every year it just got worse. Until I found Dr. Jack.
“So you changed what you ate and that helped. I already follow —— diet?” Yeah, I tried that one too, but then I changed everything! I got the education of a lifetime. What is really healthy? Apparently it wasn’t what I thought it was! Those vast amounts of steel cut oats I was eating? Ughhhhhh…… the whole grain bread? Those little bars I carried in my purse? Ughhhhhhhhhhhh…… The hidden sugar?
“I just can’t give up those things. It is just too hard to live that way. I will just stick with the Synthroid and follow ———— diet because everyone loses on that.” sighhhhhh……
Yes, you will lose…. far more than you know. You will lose your money trying to figure out a better way. You will lose your stamina and your energy. Your body will fight back from those diets and you will lose…. I did…
I lost everything. I watched my hair come out. My skin was so dry it was painful to touch. I lost everything and I got really desperate to just feel a little better, not 100% but a little better. And one day, I just decided to give up. That was it, I was done trying. I wasn’t going to do any more. Hashimoto’s was my fate and I was stuck with it.
And then I found Dr. Jack’s webinar and now with some small adjustments here I live, the symptom free life. Synthroid isn’t the cure! Dr. Jack gave me the cure and the rest, you have to commit to. You can cure yourself, you just have to be desperate enough to want it. I do …. every single day!
