Natural remedies for hypothyroid, do they work? are they safe?

Question

I have seen some stuff like "Raw Thyroid" and other natural remedies at health food stores and such, they have thyroid extracts of bovine (cow). I worry because it says that it may cause nervousness, rapid heartbeat, etc. Do these work and can a small dose cause nervousness and side effects? I am waiting to see an endocrinologist, but in the meantime it would be nice to see if I can feel better somewhat while I wait. Just for reference, my TSH was 5.3

How much iodine should I take? I saw on the bottle of Kelp it had all these warnings, I'm a little scared to take it until I know how much is safe. Thanks!

Answer 1

Iodine helps control thyroid function. You can get it at the health food store. Once I started Iodine therapy, my thyroid problem went away without medication.

Answer 2

Natural Hypothyroidism Treatment
Adaptogen Supplements – Can lower cortisol levels and improve thyroid function like Ashwagandha and Tulsi.

Silver Fillings Removal – if you have amalgam fillings talk with a DAMS mercury safe dentist about proper removal.

Lower Carbohydrate Intake - Lower your intake of sugars and grains and replace them with healthy fats. Most women especially consume far too many carbs which increase estrogen and negatively effect the thyroid. Instead consume healthy fats that will balance hormones, like: coconut oil, coconut milk, avocado, grass-fed beef, wild salmon, chia, flaxseeds, and hemp seeds.
