Hi Drea10

Here are some remedies to use (actually work) instead of drugs (good for you).

Cause
Abnormal immune response is believed be a possible cause of hypothyroidism. The exact cause is not known, but certain antibodies from the immune system will launch an assault on the thyroid, disturbing hormone production. Lumps or tumors that form on the thyroid also disrupt hormone production. Temporary hyperthyroidism can be caused by infection or inflammation, and certain prescription drugs.

Hyperthyroidism is less common than Hypothyroidism, yet for both diseases, women appear to be more susceptible than men. Be aware that a malfunctioning thyroid may be the cause of recurring illnesses.

Natural Cures

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that naturally suppress excess thyroid hormone production. Such foods include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, rutabagas, spinach, turnips, soybeans, peaches, and pears. Eliminate dairy products, over consumption of wheat products, coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

Homeopathy: The homeopathic remedy Thyroidium is very helpful in assisting in proper thyroid regulation.

Juice Therapy: Drink carrot, celery, spinach, and parsley juice; or juice made from a combination of cabbage, watercress, and spinach.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help regulate thyroid function: vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, choline, trace minerals, iodine, kelp, and thyroid glandulars.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating hyperthyroidism: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Homeopathy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Qigong, and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Best of health to you

Try a chiropractor! You may have subluxations of your spine around the nerves that innervate your thyroid. Subluxations can sometimes cause an increase in stimulation of the organs the nerves innervate. I am not saying that this is for sure what is causing your problem but it is definitely worth a try. Chiropractors look to correct the cause of the problem not just cover it up with a medication that will ultimately do more harm than good and they are the best for getting the body to function at its best.
Good luck!

Umm, this isn't religion; it is science. If you have hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), you can become seriously ill and die if it is not treated. There are three accepted treatments. Medication to suppress the thyroid. Surgery to remove the thyroid. But the most common treatment is obliterating the thyroid with radioactive iodine.

Untreated hyperthyroidism can lead to eye and visual problems (exopthalmus), osteoporosis (brittle bones), and thyroid storm/crisis which is life-threatening, among other things.

By the way, if an "alternative therapy" worked, it wouldn't be alternative anymore, it would be adopted by mainstream medicine.

This isn't just something you can resolve without taking medication or having some sort of treatment. in MINORITY cases it will clear itself on its own, but that is very rare. Please go see a doctor to see what your options are. If left untreated this could result in your having to get surgery. :(
