Maybe not briefly, but I'll share. When covid hit, I lost all trust in the medical establishment. I followed the Zelenko protocol because I was a courtesy driver and I kept working even though I refused to wear a mask, and distancing in a vehicle with 3 others isn't possible. I refused to go to the doctor because I wouldn't mask up and I would not get vaxxed either. I soon ran out of my hypothyroid med and my Dr wouldn't refill w/o an appt. In researching, I found that many of the supplements I was already taking helped with t3 production- Quercetin, turmeric with curcumin and pepperine, zinc, C, D, E, and B12. In addition to these, I started eating seaweed snacks which are full of iodine. I never had my thyroid checked again until I finally went back to my doctor in 2023. I had no idea how my numbers would look, but my Dr was surprised to see that my blood work came back normal for thyroid levels. She was a little perplexed.
I started taking a seaweed supplement simply for the high levels of iodine (and because it was cheaper than the drops).
No thyroid issues but I've read bromide will take the place of iodine if one has a deficiency and can cause many issues so figured I'd make sure that didn't happen.
One pill a day and the bottle was $12, if I remember correctly.
Thanks for the excellent explanation. My wife only tried the thyroid meds for a couple months and then bailed because it was screwing up her menses. We are both getting our blood work done next week and she's looking for ways to adjust her numbers if they are still out of whack.

Baffled!!
Interesting.

As all doctors are, because they have been taught lies.
