Detox Program
FYI
I forgot to ask if there are certain medical conditions a person should not do a detox program? I take T3 and T4 because of the removal of my thyroid gland due to thyroid cancer. I have been healed of that and am currently cancer free.

Beginning or continuing a detox program can be challenging while traveling, as you are not in your own home environment and may not have as much control over your foods or social calendar as you normally would. My suggestion would be to make this as easy and pleasant an experience as possible for you, and be in your regular environment - particularly if you've not done any type of detox program before.
Yes, it will have be 2 yrs in Feb!
Oh goodie I get to detox ya'll ! Yippeeeee :lol:
Here is a question-hmmmm..how should I word this...LOL .....I am traveling during the holiday season-, so would a person want to be at their own home during detox time???? LOL
Yes, when I mentioned radioactive exposure in the contraindications, it was referring to more of an environmental or whole body contact, not the specific targeted treatment utilized in thyroid disorders. Assuming this treatment happened in the past and you are not currently undergoing the radioactive therapy, detox would not be contraindicated in this situation.
ok, I'll stay tuned! Thanks!
Patrice, forgive my intrusion into this thread, but I would not give up yet on detoxing just yet. I also had a treatment of radioactive iodine (thyroid testing) and although, with as toxic and sensitive as I am, I had to take detoxing very slow, and I was still able to do a pretty thorough detox.
I am sure the Docs will chime in here and clarify this for you, but I think Dr. Scott may be talking about a different animal.
Hang in there!

So , in response to Dr.Scott's Contraindictions for detox program-
I guess that it would not be safe for me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that a treatment of radioactive iodine would fall under the category of "don't do this" IF you have been exposed to radioactive or dangerous chemicals. Bummer - I was hoping to purge that stuff out of me! I guess I will just have to keep my diet clean, get rid of this poundage collected due to the crazy hormone rollercoaster ride that took a toll on my body and keep praying.
Thanks for answering my question Dr. Scott- Glad that I asked first :lol:

I am glad you survived, Patrice! {{{{HUGS}}}}
I, too, had my thyroid removed. The Dr.'s said it was cancer because it had grown so huge so extremely quick. I didn't know better at that point to have test data confirming the diagnosis and, because I felt like I was majorly choking, I followed their advice. I sure wish I had known what I now know-I would have NOT have had it removed. Mine ended up being Hashimotos, which is treatable. Oh well, you can only go forward, right?!
How long since your surgery? How long have you been cancer free?
Btw, I did not have a problem with my thyroid meds while detoxing.
