I’m probably about to lose my insurance, or change drastically, due to children grown up married/jobs/etc. I had hyperthyroidism, also known as Graves’ disease, about 8 yrs ago. Lost a bunch of weight quickly, was basically dying. Eventually doc fixed me up. But here soon I may be paying out of pocket for what meds I’m currently on. I haven’t brought this up with the doc, and I’ve been smooth sailing since I got regulated those years ago. But does anyone use something off of the shelf perhaps? Something tried and true? I’m currently on 125mcg Levothyroxine sodium.
Just doing some research before I possible get the shaft. They also had me on some blood pressure meds, but I’ve been using that CoQ10 and it seems to have lowered my BP even more. So I wonder if that alone would take care of the blood pressure stuff.
Iodine, is the fuel your thyroid gland uses, to produce the hormones that regulate practically every function within the human body. That is the very reason they started putting it into salt. It is an essential nutrient, that almost nobody gets in their diet. I purchase Potassium Iodide online, and use it to make a saturated solution (SSKI). I take two drops daily in water. I am not a doctor, and recommend that you thoroughly research this subject before using any of the protocols that I do. When the thyroid gland doesn't get enough iodine, it goes into overdrive, trying to do it's job. You might also benefit by a very low carbohydrate diet. It has done wonders for me, and many other people.
