I know we're pretty focused on the craziness going on in politics right now, and so we have moved on from anything related to illness, but this is the best place I know of to ask anything about ivermectin and people's success with it.
Has anyone here, or anyone you know, used ivermectin for anything relating to thyroid issues? Such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, Hashimoto's, or Grave's disease?
I am currently dealing with subclinical hypothyroidism and want to avoid taking the typical medication prescribed for it because of the side effects. I'm trying to change my diet, removing foods that cause inflammation or an autoimmune response, and add the right vitamins and supplements, however it will take some time to notice much of a difference in symptoms.
Since ivermectin is such a wonder drug for practically everything else, I wanted to see if it has any effect on healing the thyroid. So does anyone have any info on if it could help or not?
Thanks for any advice you can give. God bless!
The two most important supplements for thyroid health are D3 and selenium. I've seen this work wonders. Iodine is also beneficial.
I'm currently taking both. My D3 was way low early in the year and I've been supplementing for that, and now my numbers are great. I've just started selenium so I've yet to see much improvement, but I'll be getting my blood tested soon to see how things are going so far.
Iodine is obviously necessary for the thyroid, however I started to take some supplements for iodine and my symptoms got way worse, so I had to stop. I've read that taking too much iodine can lead subclinical hypo to full blow hypothyroidism, and honestly it felt like I was going that direction. I think I get enough iodine in my diet anyway, so no need to supplement.
Make sure you're getting K2 as well, which metabolizes D3.
This won't be a quick fix. Expect an improvement in your thyroid in 6-8 months.
K2, like vitamin K?
K2 is superior in bioavailability: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-k1-vs-k2
