Are there any natural treatments for hypothyroidism?!
Question: When I went to the doctor recently, she told me that my blood tests showed high TSH. No other markers for thyroid disorder were high or low (i.e. my T3 and T4 were normal). My doctor thinks that I'm developing hypothyroidism. I REALLY don't want to have to take supplemental hormones for the rest of my life, so if anyone knows a natural way to balance out my thyroid again, please let me know.
I am a 20 year old female. I eat healthy, most of the time, and I exercise regularly. I am a healthy weight (5' 8", 130lbs). I take a multivitamin every day. I'm on birth control pills, as well.

change your diet avoid goitrogens in foods which blocks/inhibits thyroid hormones (T1, T2, T3, T4) can lead to HYPOthyroid conditions=low thyroid AVOID:
Cabbage, broccoli, rutabaga, cauliflower, kale,
Brussels sprouts, watercress, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, millet, turnips, turnip greens,
cassava root (tapioca), spinach, peach, pear, grape,
mango, pea, and all soy (the worst) products.
Peanut butter has had the goitrogens killed off
because the making of it requires such high heat, BUT
eating too much leads to the production of oxalic
kidney stones.
SOY products elevate T4 without modifying T3=weight
gain, low ch'i, low fertility=early menopause, PLUS
the plant based estrogens in soy can inhibit
absorption of zinc and other essential minerals, cause
stomach and intestine distress, AND is highly harmful
for children whose sex organs and immune systems are
still in the developmental stages.
MILK: if you are hypothyroid, then avoid milk as the
protein casein in cow's milk is 300% more potent than
human breast milk and also disrupts thyroid function,
try rice milk instead, not soy milk. A nice cup of hot
milk before bed for calming the nerves is even worse
than cold raw milk.
FLUORIDE: avoid toothpaste and water which contain
fluoride, as well as iodine (table salt and seaweeds)
as both compounds irritate the thyroid gland=auto
immune non functioning and it attacks itself. Too much
iodine can result in hyperthyroid conditions such as
weight loss, rough skin, acne, mental and emotional
problems, and a 'spacey' feeling.
SUGAR: refined sugars burn out the thyroid gland as
well as the adrenal glands.
If the thyroid is 'off', so, more than likely will be the parathyroid
glands that cluster on the thyroid like little grapes,
everyone has between four and eight of them. If they
are not working properly, then calcium will not be
assimilated or distributed properly=weak sagging
muscles, loss of elasticity, heart attacks, and the
muscles will then suck calcium from the
bones=osteoporosis problems of 'aging' women, as
muscles get calcium first in the food chain within the
human body. AND if you have Adrenal gland
insufficiency, it will affect your thyroid. So
