I take Armour rather than the synthetic products.

Thanks, but I was hoping there is something more 'natural'? Would you know?

I take Armour, but I was hoping for an alternative method. How does coconut oil, kelp, and saw palmetto work?

I am waiting for results this week, but I have a thyroid problem, currently hyperthyroidism. There are herbs that help to regulate levels in the body. If you are hypo, eliminate fluoride as it is the endocrine system worst inhibitor. I can't remember the herbs off hand, but you can search for it. Chinese medicine, accupunture, etc are all alternatives treatments for thyroid problems. Do you know what is causing your thyroid problem? You need to keep digging to find the underlying issues so you can treat the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
In my case, I have a hunch that toxicity and mercury are cauing my autoimmune disease which is causing problems to my thyroid. I will spend a lot of time detoxing my body, changing my diet, finding food allergies and taking herbs to try to heal my body and level it out. It is possible and there are a lot of people out there that do it this way. Armour is also a natural product.

My chiropractor told me about goitrogens, foods that hinder the thyroid, and they are broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, rutabega, etc. There is s name for them, but I can't think of it. I later learned that you shouldn't eat these raw, but it is ok to eat them cooked, but either way you shouldn't eat them too often. BTW, these are among my favorite foods. DRAT!

Soy products are on that list too. But honestly I did not notice a difference after cutting them out. Not sure how much affect they really have.
I hardly eat any soy. I've heard too many bad things about it. The only exception I make is Morningstar Farms products, and I can't afford them any more anyway.
