This video discusses (in very simplistic terms) why treating the thyroid AND adrenal glands is important in Lyme disease. Which testing methods should be used and why, as well as what kinds of treatment are most effective. For more information, visit my written blog at: www.lymebytes.blogspot.com, or check out my new book “The Lyme Disease Survival Guide: Physical, Lifestyle and Emotional Strategies for Healing.” Note: I am not a health care practitioner, and the information presented in this blog should be used for informational purposes only. It should not be construed as treatment advice.

Look up this video on youtube and you will know what to do (copy and paste): “HemoPyrrol-Lactam-uria (HPU), Lyme disease and autism presented by Dietritch Klinghardt, MD”! It is a phenomenal lecture given by Dr. Klinghardt!
thank you connie
I am 18 yrs old and have had endometriosis since i was 12 and my thyroid is failing, my adrenal glands are also shot and i have such Pots now and take ALOT of beta blockers to help my heart slow down. I have noticed axcess hair growth this year, I hit puberty at age 7 and was developed by age 11, I have been on lupron and hormone treatments since i was 14, I have been taking thyroid medication but it is not helping at all, They keep raising it but it is not working.
PS Does anyone know how to get Armour? My doctor said it was on “indefinite backorder” and put me on synthroid which I don’t respond to quite as well. I heard they were going to stop making ARmour?
My thyroid tests came out FINE but I was still cold (to the point of pain) and my hair was falling out and I was gaining weight. I got a new doctor and she did an antibody test. I guess normal is from 0-7 and she showed me mine: “>1000″. That’s probably a good way to find the trouble, too. It took a long time to get it treated as well as the lyme disease and I might even lose my teeth from not metabolizing calcium properly.
Hey guys….PLEASE register at the Oprah Winfrey website and let her know how much you would like to see her do a show on Lyme disease. Dr. Oz thinks the “UNDER OUR SKIN” documentary is wonderful but a show about Lyme won’t be done unless she sees lots of interest. PLEASE write and tell her YOUR Lyme story. Request that LLMDS and patients be the guests so that we can be heard. Also, Daryl Hall would make a great guest. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !
God Bless,
Elaine
Armour is the best and yes most natural.
Thank you for this information. Looks like i have Hashimoto’s disease as well. They want to do a iodine test because one side of my thryoid is swollen and i have a hard time swallowing. ACK one thing after another…
Be Well Connie
The hair growth is more likely a result of high levels of DHEA, which is produced by the adrenals. In Lyme, adrenal fatigue often results and certain stages of AF can bring about high levels of DHEA. And yes, AF is a result of Lyme and is part of the hormonal dysfunction found in Lyme patients. When the adrenals are stressed, this also affects thyroid function. I would focus on supporting both the adrenals and thyroid. Thanks
I have Lyme Disease and 3 years ago I was given a blood test for thyroid function but then told nothing was wrong with it. Since then I’ve read abt thyroid tests being inaccurate anyway so I’m interested in trying out the temperature test u mentioned. I’m female and have a lot of (very embarrassing) hair growth on my face which I’m sure is a hormone problem- could this problem also be attributed to Lyme Disease (or thyroid malfunction caused by Lyme Disease) or is this a separate issue?
Good video. I believe that a basal temperature below 97.8 is indicative of low thyroid function. That is according to Broda Barnes work. Some people do not tolerate Armour and do better on Nature-troid.
Hi Clark,
Thanks for sharing! I’ll check out your video.
Hope all is well with you, too.
Connie
Just wanted you to know that I finally got a video uploaded. Not the best quality, but I wanted to talk to you and others with Lyme vlogs “personally”, so to speak.
It’s called Hello Friends With Lyme and any others .
Hope all is well with you.
Clark
Yes, it means your body has a hard time making bioavailable T3. Why do you think selenium would be ideal for RT3? I haven’t heard anything about that. Thanks!
you spoke about Reverse T3. if you have a High reading that would mean body has hard time making T3? i think taking selenium would be ideal for high RT3 issues.
Prethenie,
In nearly all of my videos I state that I am not a health care practitioner, that what I share is for info. purposes only, and hence I don’t claim to be an authority on anything. What I share is a product of my research and experience and that is all ( FYI, most of my info. actually come from “authorities”-it is not just my opinion that bioidentical hormone works, for instance). If the info. is not of benefit to you, I suggest you look elsewhere for info. on Lyme.
Thanks
Prethenie,
I share protocol that have worked for other people. If I only shared what has worked for me I would be taking a very egocentric view of healing. Just because something hasn’t worked for me doesn’t mean it doesn’t work, and all of the treatments that I provide information on are strategies that have worked for other people. Also, there is no one single strategy that works for everyone in Lyme; hence, I feel it is beneficial to share all those that have proven to be helpful to others.
Yes, maybe I picked up on Bryan’s cues…or maybe apologizing for the environment is a Lyme symptom (you know how sensitive we are to things
Glad you found the video helpful.
Take care!
Hey Its an informational video not a feature film no one cares about the lighting, messy table or rain.
you sound like brian rosner always apologizing for the enviroment in every video. Hey is apologizing for the environment a lyme disease symptom ?
Good tips on the internal systems. Thats what people want to know about. Thanks for the info
