Hi Daisy\n\nHere are some answers and some ideas to start the healing process.\n\nHyperthyroidism\n\nDefinition\nHyperthyroidism is a health condition caused by overproduction of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. \n\nThe thyroid is one of your body's "master" glands, meaning that it influences and regulates overall metabolism and the overall health of most of the cells in your body, including helping to form protein RNA (the building blocks of life) for every cell and to increase oxygen consumption by most cells. Located at the base of the neck, the thyroid gland consists of two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe (trachea). \n\nSymptoms\nSymptoms of hyperthyroidism include rapid heartbeat, enlarged thyroid (goiter), moist skin, trembling or tremors, erratic pulse pressure levels (too high or too low), fatigue, anxiety, weight loss, bulging eyes, excessive sweating, increased appetite, low tolerance to heat, diarrhea, chest pain, and gastrointestinal disorders. In older people with hyperthyroidism, however, the opposite of the above symptoms can occur. Overall, hyperthyroidism is much rare than hypothyroidism (under active thyroid function). \n\nHyperthyroidism may be associated with and often is called Graves' disease, a condition characterized by an enlarged thyroid, bulging eyes bulge, rash and swelling in front of the lower leg. \n\nCause\nAbnormal immune response is believed be a possible cause of hypothyroidism. The exact cause is not known, but certain antibodies from the immune system will launch an assault on the thyroid, disturbing hormone production. Lumps or tumors that form on the thyroid also disrupt hormone production. Temporary hyperthyroidism can be caused by infection or inflammation, and certain prescription drugs. \n\nHyperthyroidism is less common than Hypothyroidism, yet for both diseases, women appear to be more susceptible than men. Be aware that a malfunctioning thyroid may be the cause of recurring illnesses. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that naturally suppress excess thyroid hormone production. Such foods include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, rutabagas, spinach, turnips, soybeans, peaches, and pears. Eliminate dairy products, over consumption of wheat products, coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.\n\nHomeopathy: The homeopathic remedy Thyroidium is very helpful in assisting in proper thyroid regulation.\n\nJuice Therapy: Drink carrot, celery, spinach, and parsley juice; or juice made from a combination of cabbage, watercress, and spinach.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help regulate thyroid function: vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, choline, trace minerals, iodine, kelp, and thyroid glandulars.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating hyperthyroidism: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Homeopathy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Qigong, and Traditional Chinese Medicine\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

The best treatment for hypothyroidism is thyroxine. Your wife is still on quite a small dose. Some cases may have an underlying auto-immune cause, which is worth looking into. Simple blood tests for these auto-antibodies can cause this. Serious causes are rare.

You can sometimes alleviate hypothyroidism by reducing the amount of food suspected for depressing the thyroid function: Brussel sprouts, broccoli, corn oil, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, radishes, rutabaga, soy, soy products and turnips. However, these food types are valuable in many ways, so it is probably not wise to cut them out totally. Also try to avoid artificial ingredients like the sweetener aspartame, conserving additives and fluoride.\n\nChanging out mercury dental fillings and avoiding mercury or heavy metal exposure may help to ameliorate the condition.\n\nYou may also alleviate the condition by eating food that stimulates the thyroid function according to practical experience: Chia seed, dulse, fish from the ocean, flax seed, pumpkin seed, seaweed, coconut and brewer yeast.\n\nYou can find nutritional supplements to help for hypothyroidism. The compositions of these products vary:\n\nThey may contain building materials that the thyroid uses to make its hormones, for example: iodine, acetyl-L-tyrosine or L-phenylalanine. \n\nThey may also contain vitamins and minerals that stimulate the mechanism of hormone production by being a part of necessary enzymes, or by helping the absorption of the ingredients that hormones are made from, like: Magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper and vitamin E.\n\nThey may furthermore contain constituents that stimulate tissue regeneration by being part of tissue building enzymes, and thus helping to restore a degraded thyroid, for example: Folic acid or folate, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid or pantothenate), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cyanocobalamin) and molybdenum.

Cinnamon is a great booster. A teaspoon in your morning coffee works wonders. \n\nGreen tea has other benefits than as a booster - keep drinking it. BUT, as with all herbal regimens, take time off from it every couple of weeks UNLESS ordered otherwise by a Dr.

Usually, if you have a reaction to thyroid medication, it signifies that the dosage needs adjusted.  There are other thyroid meds so I am sure your doctor will put you on something else.  Meanwhile, there is nothing that you can do.  There are no OTC treatments and no changes in diet that will help.  The only current and effective treatment for  hypothyroidism is a prescribed medication.  I suggest you schedule an appointment with your doctor asap.

I don't know about a healthy pill, but green tea will increase your BMR (Basal Metabolism Rate).  There are over the counter drugs that you can take but it is unproven if they are are healthy called thermogenics.  Lipo-6 is suppose to be a good one. They speed up your resting HR and decrease appetite
