Question :

Dear Dr. Li,

I still have problems with my immune system.
(I often have virus-infections, but I also have allergies).
I still take 12 capsules TT every day. I also take 1 g
Vitamin C every day.

I just started to take capsules of shiitake extract.

Can I take it with TT? Is it the right choice? And how
many capsules should I take (1 capsule=300 mg EXTRACT)

Thank you very much and best regards.

Answer :

Dear Anita Webber,

Hashimoto disease is one of immune system disease. It means your antibodies continue attacking your thyroid gland until destroyed it completely.

Please take more aloe food. It will be helpful for your Hashimoto Disease. Also, please try the Life Plus. It will be very helpful for hypothyroidism too.

Does anyone suggest you to take shiitake exact? What is the purpose for you to take it? We can’t say whether shiitake exact will be good for your Hashimoto Disease. Basically, it will not interfere with TT if you take it 2 hours before or after taken TT.

Please answer our questions and keep frequently contact with Green Life. Thank you!

Dear Nurul,

Hyperthyroid patients need to take more rest. It is very important for their recovery! Please try to lower down the busy schedule with your children. Tell your husband that you get hyperthyroidism and you need some help from others.

Yes, please visit your Doctor. Doctor will prescript you some medicine to stop the shortness of breath. You can take that medicines if you take them at lease 1 hour before or after taken TT. Please be reminded the root of your problem is hyperthyroidism. Take more rest is extremely important for you!

Question :

In answer to your question about my hyperthyroid symptoms increasing, yes they have increased and my doctor has told me to increase the carbimazole.However, with this medication I put on too much weight so I dont really want to increase.

Thank you

Marlene Fearon

Answer :

Dear Marlene Fearon,

We understand your feeling. Normally, we don’t suggest patients to change the dosage of carbimazole in large quantity. This will cause patient’s thyroid hormone decreasing or increasing very sharply. (Increasing from 5mg to 20mg) This is why some patients will put on weight.

Our suggestion is to take 10mg a day. Then, feed back Green Life your feeling every week. Don’t worry! Green Life will guide you how to do!

Actually, many patients may adjust the dosage of anti hyperthyroid meds (carbimazole) by their feeling of symptoms changes. It is even more accurate than doing blood test in hospital. For example, these patients will increase the dosage of carbimazole when they feel heart beat faster or feel heat easily. On the contrary, they will decrease the dosage of carbimazole when they feel slower heart beat and feel cold easily.

Any way, please keep close contact with Green Life. We can help you!
