Re: Supplements to prevent thyroid nodules

[Guest guest]

Hello (in Australia) - we really don't want to call you

(in Australia) because we have another very active (in Australia)

on the forum, and you can bet your bottom dollar we will get you mixed up at

some point, so can you find another name to call yourself please - perhaps a

nickname.

I see what you mean about the ithyroid.com web site, I too went

there and couldn't open anything there. Obviously they have a problem.

However have a look here

I have hyperthyroidism caused

by a 3cm autonomous nodule on one side of my thyroid. I have been

taking PTU but have to keep increasing the dose to keep it under

control. I am just about to have surgery to have the nodule and

probably half my thyroid removed. I would very much appreciate some advice

about which supplements I should take to support my thyroid before and after

the surgery and to try to stop any of the remaining small nodules

from getting any bigger or starting to produce hormones. I have looked at

ithyroid.com but I can't get any of its pages to open and it mainly seems to be

about Graves disease which I don't have.

many thanks

Thank-you Sheila

I have seen those sites before - they all seem to say the same thing and none talk about nutrition and supplements for hyperthyroidism.
