Introduction In 2018, the Ministry of Health Malaysia published the Good Compounding Practice as a guidance for compounding practices. NOTE: When compounding a preparation using the contents of an ampoule , care should be taken to withdraw the solution using a filter needle to avoid incorporating glass particles into the compound.
Dr. Bernard Bihari is credited with making these discoveries about using naltrexone off-label, at lower doses. LDN can be taken in the form of a compounded tablet, capsule, liquid, or transdermal formulation. It’s also best to work with a compounding pharmacy that can help you titrate your dose correctly.
This is because I had learned about various adulterants found in supplements, how some supplement manufacturers don’t actually put the products that are on the label in the bottle, or that the dosages listed on the label may be completely different from what’s in the products. We have 299 expiring in March 2025.)
She has written ten books and over 200 journal publications. She is recognized as a world-leading healthcare researcher, and her research program includes patient safety, empathy, clinical reasoning, and climate change education. Pulses is a scholarly blog supported by Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning
In the pharmaceutical world of bookings, dispensing, clinical decisions, and customer service, AI integration is on the up. Complex Compounding Custom Medication Compounding : Preparing customised medications for patients with specific needs (e.g.
I have shared my full health timeline in my book Hashimoto’s: The Root Cause , but some notable triggers include recurrent Strep throat infections, recurrent UTIs, and of course recurrent antibiotics for both! The probiotic has been so successful in inducing remission, it has been labeled as a “medical food.” Probiotic-Rich Foods.
6) If you’ve read my book, Hashimoto’s: The Root Cause , you will know that hormone imbalances, such as excess estrogen – also known as estrogen dominance – can trigger Hashimoto’s. (6). Fibrocystic breasts used to be labeled as a disease, but given how common they are, they’re now simply referred to as “fibrocystic breasts.” (7)

Several years ago, after reading research about all of the toxins commonly used in flame retardants (and learning about all of the many products in my home that contain these chemicals… somewhat of a shocking list), I looked at my mattress label, only to learn it contained one of the chief offenders. Labels (Furniture, Fabrics, and Carpet).
Since one of the supplements I recommend, Pure Encapsulations Selenium , can contain up to 320 mcg per capsule (specifications state that the product can contain up to 160 percent of the label claim), it is not recommended for children. You can find out more about iodine in the Advanced Protocols section of my book Hashimoto’s Protocol.
I’ve seen a number of airborne toxins showing up as frequent triggers/exacerbating factors for my clients’ autoimmune conditions — mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and artificial/synthetic fragrances, in particular. For sunscreens and other over-the-counter drugs, fragrances must be identified on the label.
Certain laboratory reagents are categorized as dangerous commodities, including but not limited to explosives and gases, combustible compounds, peroxides and oxidizing agents, infectious substances and poisons, radioactive materials, and corrosives. Proper labeling and traceability are essential when it comes to reagents.

1] In simple terms, when your body is exposed to a reactive compound, histamine increases and turns on inflammatory processes in order to protect the body from that compound. Check food labels carefully, and be extra careful if you are eating out, as it’s difficult to know all of the ingredients used in restaurants.
Chemically, protein is composed of amino acids , which are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. I recommend using hydrolyzed beef protein for building up your body in the Adrenal Recovery and Gut Balance Protocols of my book, Hashimoto’s Protocol. Amino acids function as a cell’s “building blocks.”
I started talking to Carter Black, RPh, my compounding pharmacist, about the symptoms I was experiencing, and he suggested that I have my adrenals tested. Garlic Oil Garlic is another natural compound that provides a host of health benefits. Precautions Do not take more than the recommended dose on the label.
Sure enough, she read all the labels on her supplements and in her pantry, and gave her kitchen a stevia-free makeover. Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the plant Stevia rebaudiana , or “honey leaf,” which contains the sweet-tasting compounds known as steviol glycosides. What is Stevia? What Are the Benefits of Stevia?
I love my friend Jolene’s book Is this Normal? I also love the book Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden and Fix Your Period by Nicole Jardin. There are various iron salts, or compounds, and each of them have different levels of elemental iron in them. [63] 1989;114(4 Pt 1):657-663. Iron deficiency in distance runners.
In a study done in 2010, NAC and 15-Deoxy-Prostaglandin J2 (a fatty acid compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) exerted a protective effect against autoimmune thyroid destruction in vivo. [47] Research has shown that people with Hashimoto’s disease have lower levels of glutathione. Indian J Endocrinol Metab.
It breaks my heart to think about the many thyroid patients who get labeled as clinically depressed instead of being tested for thyroid antibodies, and to think of the patients who start on thyroid hormones without consideration of dosage and form, resulting in ongoing symptoms, including depression.
It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book on Hashimoto’s, yet at the time of writing, there was no “official research” to connect stress to Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism.

, to fluoride in my tap water, to hidden mold in my home, to my shampoo and deodorant (have you ever read those labels?!), One of the biggest eye-openers for me came while researching the Toxins chapter of my book, Hashimotos: The Root Cause. I realized that my surroundings were full of potentially thyroid-disrupting toxins.
Blood sugar balance is such a big deal in Hashimoto’s that a blood sugar-balanced diet is a foundation for most of my Hashimoto’s protocols I share on my website, in my programs, and in my books. Ozempic is a GLP-1 agonist and is actually marketed as a diabetes drug, but many physicians are prescribing it for weight loss (off label-use).
Some report more weight loss with T4/T3 combinations (Armour*, Nature-Throid, compounded medications) versus T4 medications (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Tirosint) alone. I outline a plan including these strategies and many others in my book, Adrenal Transformation Protocol , which is based on my wildly popular Adrenal Transformation Program.
