About to start Naturethroid

[Guest guest]

Hello,

A little backstory, for the last decade, I've had a feeling I was hypothyroid

although blood work never showed it. My hair started to thin, hormonal acne,

gained 20 lbs., always cold, low body temperature, etc. I started iodine around

a month and a half ago to see if it will help me since no doctor would. I'm

currently taking 50mg 5 days per week with 2 days off.

I saw a ND a few weeks ago and had lab work done. Yesterday the results came

in and her office called me that my ND wants to put me on Armour but I asked for

Naturethroid instead. I think the dose is 1.5 grains.

When I saw this ND I told her I was using iodine and she wanted me to stop. I

will not do this as I know it's so good for me.

I'm seeing her in 2 weeks to get the formal test results. I guess my main

question is should I drop my iodine dose at all while starting Naturethroid or

is 50 mg. a good dose to stay on? I wish I had an iodine friendly doctor to go

to but it's slim pickings around here.

Any suggestions?
