Looking for help with Hypothyroid
Anyone know of a herbal / homepathic treatment for low thyroid ?
Answer:I worked in an office that had a doctor of naturopathy that worked with women (and men) who had thyroid problems. She used armour thyroid and naturethroid. I would call a naturopathic doctor's office and make sure the doctor has had experience in treating hypothyroid before you go there. I know the doctor I worked for had a lot of success with hypothyroid.
No. If there was something, there would be no need for medications like Synthroid. Please see your endocrinologist for the right treatment for you.
Go to a doctor. Don't play around with your body or health.
And if you don't like what one says, go see another who you think is more trustworthy or better.
Please get on the Synthroid. Hypothyroidism can kill you. My mother was undiagnosed for years, and finally went into a Myxedema coma. Most patients die --- she was lucky that she was IN the hospital when she fell into the coma.
Upon learning that ONE SINGLE PILL a day could have saved her YEARS of suffering, including hearing loss & difficulty speaking, I was FURIOUS that it had gone undiagnosed for so many years.
Synthroid is a miracle drug. You're LUCKY you have your diagnosis, and that this drug is available to treat it. Watching my Mom recover so quickly, and well, from this drug was amazing. I understand your desire to not take prescription drugs, but your desire to be healthy should take the forefront.
Stay away from herbals. If your body needs hormones, you need to take hormones. If you want something natural consider Armour thyroid or Naturethroid. I made the switch from Levoxyl to Armour about 4 years ago. I went from having every symptom to almost every symptom being gone. I'll include links below about it.
