Hello Tazette,
Yes, this helps immensely. Thank you.
I don't think that Saw Palmetto is the problem. I think that your thyroid is slowing and that should be addressed first.
In addition to what you are doing now:
Take a multivitamin from someplace like GNC that has a good healthy amount of B vitamins. Or you could take a multi and a B complex, either way. The important things to look for on the label are B12 (at least 50 to 80 mcg), Selenium (whatever they have is fine), Zinc (no less than 35, no more than 80). This is the best one that I can find: http://shop.hihealth.com/Ultra-Planreg-Ultimate-Plusreg-for-Athletes-90-Tabs-P3529.aspx
Also take 660mg capsules of Kelp. Nature's Way is a good brand, found in most stores. Take the recommended one capsule per day. Order some fennel powder (Starwest Botanicals or Fronteir herbs are the best places for bulk herbs) and steep one tsp in a coffee filter in boiling water, after removed from the heat, for 20 minutes. Drink at least one cup per day. You could also take fennel capsules.
Get some exercise, preferably weight bearing and do plenty of walking. Work up to a few miles per night with your husband.
For your husband: Is he trying to lower cholesterol?
