Cabbage rejuvelac and hypothyroidism

[Guest guest]

Bee - I have a question regarding cabbage rejuvelac and

hypothyroidism.

I have been on your program since April, 2008 (some ups and downs

with foods - but back on track). I have had symptoms of

hypothyroidism - which have been greatly improved with the coconut

oil.

I have read your article " How To Help Your Thyroid With Virgin

Coconut Oil " and the section on " Avoid Goitrogens " - in which you

said not to avoid cabbage rejuvelac and cooked cabbage.

I have also read elsewhere that cooking does appear to help

inactivate the goitrogenic compounds found in food.

My diet does include steamed cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts (I

eat separately on different days).

I have not added the cabbage rejuvelac to my diet - but I would like

to this weekend.

You recommend taking 1/2 cup cabbage rejuvelac 3 x day.

Questions: 1. For someone with hypothyroidism (or symptoms) - would

the ammount of cabbage rejuvelac you recommend be okay in addition to

the steamed goitrogenic vegetables?

2. Should any of these be eliminated or reduced?

Thank you for your help -

+++Hi . The fermentation process also inactivates goitergens.
