[QUOTE="technomentor, post: 109179, member: 18512"] [b]Thyroid Plan Follow-up[/b] Thanks 1Draw -- the quick feedback confirms I came to the right place for input. Here's a follow-up question/thought I have about my thyroid results... [B]Question[/B] - Is it appropriate to seek a formal treatment plan after only one test? [B]Alternate Approach[/B] - complete additional tests for B12, folate, selenium, homocysteine, ferritin to obtain baseline of other factors that affect thyroid. Look for items not in optimal range. - take multi-vitamin for next 60 days; it contains higher than RDA doses for zinc, selenium, B12 and 100% RDA for folate and iodine; and near the dosage levels Dr. Childs recommends in his post - retest using same thyroid panel in 60 days (the recommended retest frequency per Dr. Child's) - If values still outside of ideal range, then start "formal" treatment program [B]Thoughts[/B] - This round of testing indicates something is off, no question - I've only had the thyroid panel testing done one time, which doesn't necessarily indicate a "condition" / constitute a trend - I have not taken any multi-vitamins for over a year, which means my levels of zinc, selenium, iodine, B12, folate, etc. have all had to come from food -- and the consensus is these days that our food sources are mostly inadequate and supplementation is needed [B]Rationale[/B] Addressing the key inputs (zinc, iodine, selenium, etc.) my thyroid needs may enable it to function "normally. Oh....and I did just complete a comprehensive food allergy test and learned there are a half-dozen foods I need to avoid. Ones that have been a key staple in my "healthier" diet that will be eliminated and thus help with inflammation. What are thoughts about this approach? [/QUOTE]
