Natural treatment for hyperthyroid?

Question

My body normally doesn't react well to meds & they always cause some sort of a reaction. I'm supersensitive even to things like decongestants & antibiotics. Finally a potential diagnosis to my crazy symptoms I've suffered from for so long, the last thing I want to do is go through any more med roller coasters. So, please! Any help you can provide would be wonderful.

Answer 1

The supplements listed here may be beneficial for those with thyroid disorders, including people already taking conventional drugs. But always check with your doctor first, because some of these nutrients may alter your prescription drug dose. It may take a month or so to notice benefits.

Gluten-free Diet - Some doctors recommend the complete avoidance of gluten/gliadin and dairy products when this allergy is suspected.

Dairy Products Avoidance - One doctor reports that taking calcium without magnesium is one of the worst things you can do if you have hyperthyroidism because this increases any magnesium deficiency and increases the heart rate and likelihood of arrhythmia. This is one of the reasons why dairy products, which are high in calcium and low in magnesium, need to be restricted until magnesium levels are replenished.

Selenium supplementation with 200mcg of sodium selenite may improve the inflammatory activity seen in patients .

If you have an overactive thyroid, eat plenty of raw cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and collard greens, which contain a natural thyroid blocker. Avoid iodized salt and iodine-containing foods, including saltwater fish and shellfish.

Vitamin C: 1,000 mg a day.

Vitamin B Complex: 1 pill each morning - 50 mg/day.

Vitamin E: 200-400 IU/day. Do not exceed the dosages, as vitamin E may stimulate the thyroid gland.

Flaxseed oil: 1-2 tablespoons/day.

Mild relaxing teas: chamomile and melissa may be helpful.

Answer 2

If you have hyperthyroid, you don't want to take anything that will increase thyroid productivity. That could make your thyroid even more overactive and be quite dangerous. I'm not an expert on alternative medicine, but the only effective treatment I've heard of for hyperactive thyroid is to essentially kill the thyroid to stop its overproduction of the hormone, and then take hormone replacements to make up for it.

Now if you have hypothyroid, there are numerous things that support the thyroid, but even the naturopaths I have spoken to for my hypothyroidism have said that there is no replacement for the hormones other than the hormones themselves. I, too, have bad reactions to most medications, but thyroid hormone replacements tend to be very innocuous and I have had no bad reaction.

With any thyroid treatment, keep in mind that it often takes 10 weeks or more for your body to start to get back to normal after an imbalance. I have found that even with the right level of medication, it can take longer. And I can really identify with you about the "crazy symptoms" thing.

Why natural?I treated my hyp.thr. with tapazol( spelling may be incorrect) about 10 yrs ago and after approx.2 yrs I have not had a problem. The typical treatment is radioactive iodine to burn aout your thyroid but leaves you taking meds.for the rest of your life.Try the tapazol it shuts part of the thyroid down without destroying it all.I might add that that's not always the case. Good luck
