Even when thyroid hormone is replaced, generally only ONE of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland is replaced in tablet form, and it's marketed as Synthroid (and of course, some generics). There is a second hormone that is only rarely replaced, named Liothyronine. I take both of these as a few endocrinologists will order both. Even when an endocrinologist is ordering as much of both T3 and T4 replacements, this is still not as effective as a working thyroid gland. Most patients despite treatment remain hypothyroid to some degree. A hypothyroid person does not clear fluid from their brain, soft tissue, or anywhere else as efficiently as we might hope. The result is slight edema sometimes of the face, the hands, the feet, legs, etc. Their kidneys may not work at the speed that is desirable. In addition, hypothyroid patients may not manage potassium and sodium as well as they should, and this too can produce edema. Since edema is a frequent challenge for those with hypothyroidism, sodium can exacerbate this. It therefore makes sense to get some sodium guidelines from your physician in order to prevent fluid retention which can lead to headaches, hypertension, and exacerbations of carpal tunnel syndrome. Canned foods and some dehydrated foods have generous amounts of sodium which may not be desirable for many patients.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-13143291106512380412013-06-03T16:11:13.584-07:002013-06-03T16:11:13.584-07:00I have never read a comparison of companies before...I have never read a comparison of companies before this. Thanks. I have also never had any freeze dried food. What does sodium have to do with hypothyroidism?

Money apparently, doesn't mean too much to me either. Maybe you could sell your idea to someone. Then you could do whatever you wanted with the proceeds, including charity.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-34165822436997187362013-06-02T18:06:43.645-07:002013-06-02T18:06:43.645-07:00Money doesn't mean much to me, you are welcome...Money doesn't mean much to me, you are welcome to the opportunity.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-55623440998747126472013-06-02T16:47:09.979-07:002013-06-02T16:47:09.979-07:00BBC, Perhaps freeze dried beer is your marketing...BBC, Perhaps freeze dried beer is your marketing opportunity ! <br />I think that tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and all manner of disasters happen all the time and they could certainly happen where I am. We've already had a 5.8 earthquake, wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes here. I don't know when a financial collapse is coming, but if the federal government doesn't stop borrowing and doesn't stop wasting our money, then I suspect a collapse will come long before 20-30 years.
