Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi everyone, I am new to the list here. We learned about the benefits of coconut oil about two years ago. I have an almost 3 year old brother with Down syndrome. He was " borderline hypothyroid " when he was 8 months old. We didn't want to start him on thyroid meds because he was so young, so we looked into natural ways to help his thyroid. Coconut oil was one of the things we found. We've seen the coconut oil help my brother's thyroid and bring his thyroid numbers down. When we don't give him as much coconut oil or don't give him any for a certain time, we notice a difference. His TSH goes up when we stop giving him the coconut oil, but within just a couple weeks of consistently giving him coconut oil, his thyroid improves . Just thought I'd join to see what kind of info I find on here .
