Chemo is not usually an option for thyroid cancer. Radioactive I131 is administered a few months after your thyroid is removed. The thyroid gland takes up iodine and so do the cancer cells. So by having treatment with I131 you will be killing the remaining cells, The benefits of treatment outweigh the side effects as there are few with I131. As for diet, the is no alternative for thyroid cancer but there is a diet you need to go on before scans and treatments called the Low Iodine Diet. Here is a site that can help you listed below

Five hundred years ago, people said the world was flat. Today, people say that if the FDA and AMA haven't blessed something, it can't be real good. Well, here's something I know to be real AND good. It's a little different take on cancer treatment--
In 1990, I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I've survived. My doctors were great people, but they were limited to surgery, chemo and radiation by profitable AMA treatment policy. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine. I'm a retired engineer, and this is what I've pieced together--our IMMUNE SYSTEMS become weakened by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and reduced oxygen. Once that happens, our body becomes vulnerable to common STRESSORS. Stressors can be environmental, like viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic waves or pollution. They can be internal things like emotional or job stress, or poisonous people in our lives. Aging is also a contributing factor. So this means:
WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM + STRESSORS = DISEASE (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or a high level of stressors, to weaken the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it will generally spread rapidly.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that are currently being used in Europe and around the world, and there are some great books on the subject. I know because I've read about 50 of them from cover to cover. Here's a list of the best ones. Some are out of print and getting hard to find--
"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825
"A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052
"Oxygen Therapies", ISBN 0962052701
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410
"Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", ISBN 0975599518
I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) AFTER they went on programs of herbs and nutrition to restart their immune systems.
You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy. This is not a joke, and I'm not selling anything--just trying to help.
I am using the things I learned in those books right now to fight off a second infestation of cancer. I've been at it for over a year now, and think I'm going to make it. Use what works for you, and pass on your success. Best of luck.

Well, if you have thyroid cancer you;ll have to have the thyroid gland removed. Ths will make you hypothyroid. If you want an alternative medication try Armour thyroid. It's been around the longest of the thyroid medications. It's natural and most people who switch to it feel better. Links below

You cannot get rid of papillary carcinoma by diet changes or alternative medicine. You must surgically or medically treat your thyroid cancer in order to get better.

Doctors use treatments for cancer that have been shown in scientific studies to be the most effective. Diet treatments and alternative medicines do not have the same scientific studies showing that they are effective.
Alternative medicines sound like they would be a kinder, gentler way of giving a cure, but they aren't. Worst of all they when people use these alternatives they delay treatment that might have been effective if it had been used in the early stages.
If these alternatives worked doctors and insurance companies would be using them. Doctors want their patients to get well.

Since you already have cancer you need to take "modern medicine" to kill the cancer. There has been studies on the effect of bee royal jelly as a preventative (it lowers your bodies pH making it more alkaline). You can take this with your treatment and should help the modern medicine get rid of the cancer faster. It has been shown to prevent cancers from forming but will only slow down the progress of already formed cancers. You MUST use fresh and pure bee royal jelly. Try at www.beeroyalproducts.com or www.beealive.com. These two companies have the highest quality and purest available.

There are some alternatives. Currently treatments called BCEC are used all over the world to treat cancer and it drastically reduces the amount of chemo and radiation treatment needed and has the same results as full on chemo/radiation does. But you get to feel better because your doctor wont be able to make you as sick as he does like the other cancer patients. Also there is a new drug treatment being looked at and possibly able for use called DCA. It is cheaper, safer, and better than traditional chemotherapy. If you have more questions just contact me from

Stop with the hopeless nonsense. This is a very low grade cancer. Let the oncologist treat you as he wants.
