Hi Ginger, I certainly would not call myself a thyroid expert and given the complexity, I think it best to work with a holistic doctor for the issue, and perhaps a support group or forum like the one below may also be helpful. You will get a thousand different opinions online, but only working with a professional that understands your history and lifestyle can really help. When I say I healed it naturally, I mean that I stopped the habits that screwed it up in the first place, all brought on by myself. Yo yo extreme dieting, extreme exercise, supplements to boost thyroid and etc. Once it was clear I was damaged, I firstly went to the internet and tried to supplement with herbs or nutrients that "supposedly" boosted thyroid function. Mistake. Only when I followed a balance diet that provided me the normal amounts of nutrients with no supplementation, getting into a balanced exercise and eating routine, proper sleep, and all of the boring and tedious ways that my physician recommmended--that's when I got better. But then again, I did not have a congenital issue nor Hashimotos or any other condition. The only reason I would come to this forum for anything medical related would be for a good physician recommendation--not for advice. Hope all works out for you x

I was reading about thyroid problems theme in this post:
"I was able to rehab my thyroid issues naturally, but I wouldn't wish those 10 months on anyone!!!"
I started to have thyroid problems and don`t want to start take hormones and ready to do everything to rehab it.
