Would you mind briefly sharing how you adjusted your thyroid numbers?
My wife is an RN and was identified as diabetic a year ago with bad thyroid numbers. The doctors were more than ready to give her a bag full of scripts, meters, injections, etc. She refused (they were offended) and decided to change the diet of EVERYONE in our house. Collectively we've lost 100 lbs in the past year and no longer buy processed foods. Everyone is much healthier now and doing really good.
If she eats a lot of bread (or anything made with regular American wheat) her thyroid problems could easily have been exacerbated by the bromine that's used to treat flour. Bromine is similar to iodine in that it's a halide, and the thyroid readily absorbs it in the absence of iodine. The problem is that bromine cannot be used to make some of the hormones produced by the thyroid, and it has a much higher toxicity than iodine which tends to cascade into liver problems.
The less meds you're on, the better you are...PERIOD!
No meds at all, only natural supplements. I even managed to get off my thyroid meds by doing some research. Numbers are good now.

Very interesting. She eats nearly no bread, so the results of her blood test next week should be very interesting.
