Question:
Can anyone give me a natural/alternative replacement for .2 mg daily of synthroid? I had thyroid surgery many years ago (1/2 removed) and was placed on the above dosage at that time. Two years ago I decided to chuck my meds and see if my body could take over. The thyroid would work for brief periods. I would like to resume a natural form of therapy. Can anyone help me? Many thank in advance!!!

Try kelp. The other thing I would strongly recommend is doing visualizations of your thyroid doing "whatever it takes" to keep you perfectly healthy. I know that some of the contributors to this group will deride this; however, I have done this myself and am in wonderful health. The MDs removed most of my thyroid 20+ years ago and told me that I would "HAVE TO" rely on synthroid for the rest of my life as there wasn’t enough of the gland left to "do" anything. Fifteen months ago I got really clear on what I wanted my body to do. I read Deepak Chopra’s "Ageless Body Timeless Mind and watched Dr. Bruce Lipton’s video tape "Biology of Consciousness" several times. I highly recommend Dr. Lipton’s tape!!!!! (If you would like a copy , e-mail me and I will get a copy to you) I have been in to my MD (she aked me at the 6 months mark if I required more synthroid because I hadn’t been in to get a refill on my prescriptionrecently and I told her I wasn’t doing the drug anymore) for testing to convinve her that the drug is unnecessary. Every test has been "within normal bounds". My MD is floored an I am elated! I am free of the control of the medical profession. I am able to travel without having to worry whether or not my drug is available in the places I travel too. I have lost weight & increased in energy since taking back control of my life. This is not something I did lightly and without careful consideration. i do not recommend it as being the method for everyone. Whe I began this process there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that I (my body) could do this and that I would be perfectly healthy. To lessen outside influences, I didn’t tell a single soul what I what doing — not even my mate. To me, it was like saying you were going to begin a new diet. Th first thing most people will do is tell you how the "last 10 pounds are the hardest to loose" and all of the other ways that you won’t succeed — and this usually comes from family and friends. HELP LIKE THAT YOU DON’T NEED! All the best!
