		<description>HCG has worked fine for those with thyroid issues. Chromium picolinate can certainly help. B-12, too (for energy). You are right about Alli.</description>

		<description>Hi Dr, I have no thyroid. I take 175 mls a day. Can this diet work  for me? All My dr saYS IS aLLi, I hate it. Would chromium picolinate be something that would help to lose weight and gain energy? Just asking. Could it hurt me?</description>

		<description>Hi, Vanessa:

I have no clear answer for you. Everything depends on how accurate your tests are and how your thyroid responds to excess weight (which it will do) and to subsequent weight loss.

All the best,
Dennis</description>

		<description>Hi, I am going to begin round 3 of hcg diet. I have lost 40.6 lbs in the first 2 rounds without taking thyroid meds. It was brought to my attention by my Dr that in my initial work up. My thyroid was down (underactive thyroid). I am to start taking a thyroid med. I did some research but everything is confusing on whether to take it or not take it. Will my weight loss slow down while I am taking the thyroid med? Some insight would be great.</description>

		<description>Hi, Elle:

This is not a simple issue. HCG does not cause hyperthyroidism.  Perhaps the following quote about the thyroid from Dr. Simeons&#039; original book, Pounds and Inches, will be helpful:

&lt;em&gt;The Thyroid Gland

When it was discovered that the thyroid gland controls the rate at which body-fuel is consumed, it was thought that by administering thyroid gland to obese patients their abnormal fat deposits could be burned up more rapidly. This too proved to be entirely disappointing, because as we now know, these abnormal deposits take no part in the body’s energy-turnover - they are inaccessibly locked away. Thyroid medication merely forces the body to consume its normal fat reserves, which are already depleted in obese patients, and then to break down structurally essential fat without  touching the abnormal deposits. In this way a patient may be brought to the brink of starvation in spite of having a hundred pounds of fat to spare. Thus any weight- loss brought about by thyroid medication is always at the expense of fat of which the body is in dire need.

While the majority of obese patients have a perfectly normal thyroid gland and some even have an overactive thyroid, one also occasionally sees a case with a real thyroid deficiency. In such cases, treatment with thyroid brings about a small loss of weight, but this is not due to the loss of any abnormal fat. It is entirely the result of the elimination of a mucoid substance, called myxedema, which the body accumulates when there is a marked primary thyroid deficiency. Moreover, patients suffering only from a severe lack of thyroid hormone never become obese in the true sense. Possibly also the observation that normal persons - though not the obese - lose weight rapidly when their thyroid becomes overactive may have contributed to the false notion that thyroid deficiency and obesity are connected. Much misunderstanding about the supposed role of the thyroid gland in obesity is still met with, and it is now really high time that thyroid preparations be once and for all struck off the list of remedies for obesity. This is particularly so because giving thyroid gland to an obese patient whose thyroid is either normal or overactive, besides being useless, is decidedly dangerous.&lt;/em&gt;

All the best,
Dennis</description>

		<description>I have 3 hot nodules on my thyroid and I am borderline hyperthyroid but I am still in the normal range. I am not on meds, haven&#039;t done RAI, but will be having a hemi-thyroidectomy in Feb. 2012. I am just wondering if it would be ok to do the hCG or if it can result in hyperthyroidism?</description>

		<description>It would not be appropriate for me to advise you on this. Never stop taking medication without your doctor&#039;s advice.</description>

		<description>I have been taking Synthroid 72 mcg for several years now.  I started the HCG drops yesterday.  Should I continue taking my Thyrod medicine every morning as usual or should I stop taking it while on the HCG diet drops?</description>
