Kelp is very good for the Thyroid and helps speed it up because it contains natural iodine.You will also want to include plenty of other seafoods and sea vegetables such as dulse,nori,arame,and ocean fish.Avoid goiterogenic foods that suppress thyroid function such as Cabbage,Soy products,Raw broccoli and Raw cauliflower.Increase protein intake as its essential for thyroid function.And be sure to include plenty of green vegetables.L-tyrosin is also a good one for thyroid function.Many people have success with the natural thyroid Armour rather then synthroid.

Has your thyroid problem been diagnosed by a doctor or is it just your own explanation? The thyroid hormone is available in a pill for those who don't have enough naturally. The doctor will monitor the amount of the hormone in your bloodstream by doing frequent blood tests. The medical term for what you lack is "TSH" for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's a cheap prescription, if you really need it. There's a kind of seaweed called "kelp" that is marketed as helping to boost your metabolism. The reason it works is because it contains natural iodine (as iodized salt does) and that helps your body make more TSH. But BE CAREFUL. I seriously f***ed up my body by taking too much kelp supplements. Little did I know I had a genetic predisposition to get Grave's Disease (a form of low thyroid). In conclusion, see a doctor if you think you need a thyroid supplement. It's a cheap generic drug.

Eat more whole foods.  Avoid all soy.  Soy slows down the thyroid function.  Use Celtic Sea salt.  Take 3 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil per day.  I take 1 tablespoon with each meal.  The coconut oil will rev up your metabolism.  Take a whole mulitvitamin.  I like http://www.drrons.com/ his does not have any of the additives.  And you will eventually not need thyroid medication.  You can also check out Dr. Bruce Rind's website he is an expert in throid and adrenal glands problems.  About 20 percent of his patients fly in from out of town.  His office is in Washington, DC.\n\nhttp://www.drrind.com/

There is nothing for it in alternative medicine. You may qualify for human growth hormone in the judgement of your endocrinologist.

I found this quote off an internet site:  the adrenal hormones like DHEA, growth hormone, and melatonin are now being investigated, too.\n\nFor thyroid problems, take 3 tablespoons of flax oil daily (the taste is icky but maybe you can find a flavor oil to add to it - kids formulas often taste good).  You may need to make other dietary changes or take natural thyroid prescription.\n\nMy suggestion would also be to contact pathmed.com or call these experts directly at 888-231-7284, or e-mail them at pathmedical@aol.com.  If you can't afford their services, they may be able to give you suggestions, supplements (they ship), or refferals.\n\nBest health to you.  You deserve many happy years ahead.  \n\nCheryl

Here is the number one source you will need while learning what to do with your illness.\n\nI was hyper, had Graves. Had it removed at 12, it grew back at 35 and had it removed again due to Hashimotos Thyroiditis and now I have nodules in a growing thyroid. Doc says I am very rare. Thyroids can regenerate and mine has several times! Please think long and hard about how to handle your situation and make sure you have a great Endo Dr. Also, have your IgG levels tested to see if you have an immune disorder as they are common among us Thyroid ill people.\n\nGood luck...stay strong and don't fret.\n\nOh...about forgot...your slow metabolisim will thank you if you eat like you are diabetic. The second link is for diets relating to diabetes. Also, stay away from soy products as it interferes with your thyroxin production. And lastly, drink lots of water to help flush your system.

There is no "cure" for hyperthyroidism. Best treatment though is medication.

Go see a medical doctor first!! Your MD will know why you have the goitre and will be able to advise you about medications, dietary and lifestyle changes. \n\nIf your MD is not helpful, DEFINITELY consult a registered dietician (NOT a 'nutritionist' or a non-accredited 'diet specialist').\n\nFor you information:\n\nOur thyroid uses Iodine to create important hormones (T3, T4). Be very careful about your Iodine intake (ie iodized salt, seafood). Since your thyroid is enlarged, it is like a sponge for Iodine and this can be dangerous if you increase Iodine intake too quickly.\n\nNext, limit your intake of soy and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, etc). Scientific studies have demonstrated that these foods interfere with Iodine uptake by the thyroid. For the same reason, avoiding products with 'rapeseed' is important too. It is very, very difficult to find any foods or oils that contain rapeseed now so this shouldn't be a major concern. \n\nALSO, if you are a woman, **DO NOT become pregnant**; it puts a major stress on your body AND your children will have major birth defects (known as cretinism).\n\nHope this helps!\n:)

Initially, you may want to have thyroid function testing (TFTs) done to rule out hyperthyroidism.  If you're pretty certain this isn't an issue, you may be able to manage your hyperhydrosis with a strong antiperspirant, like Mitchum, and use it on your hands and feet as well. Wear socks that are 100% cotton and bring an extra pair with you to work. There are medications you can take to help control and lessen it.  Check with your doctor.  However, I suspect there's more to this than hyperhydrosis and I advise you to seek a medical opinion. I wish you the best of luck.

Hyperthyroidism is basically due to the oversecretion of thyroxin in the thyroid gland. This disease can get quite serious if left untreated. I would recommend that the iodine radio therpay be done as iodine is essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. \n\nDon't worry, your cat will be okay. Hyperthyroidism need not be worried about if treated properly.\n\nHope that helps!

According to the medical history you present, you need something more like a Naturopathic Doctor.  You may find some dieticians well-versed in the above conditions, but they typically are not qualified to address your conditions solely through diet suggestions.  \n\nhttp://www.naturopathic.org/

I personally wouldn't use anything that your doctor doesn't okay.  Herbs/supplements aren't FDA regulated, and most probably aren't tested especially on breastfeeding women.

There are no plants or foods that will correct hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is caused by the Thyroid gland not producing enough hormones to maintain health in the body. Hormones are only produced by the human body not plants.\nThere are, however, herbs that will enhance the effect of Thyroxine and lessen the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

There are several different options if you want to go natural. The first link below is to Puritan's Pride, an excellent website for vitamins and herbs. I know Black Cohosh is good for you when you lack estrogen. The other link may be helpful too. There are also foods rich in estrogen and some that take away your estrogen. The second link will give you a full list of both. Hope it helps. God bless!
