Those are reasonable things to try. I've used both.

Before trying thyroid, I think it's reasonable to consider tyrosine,

selenium, and iodine. All of these are involved in making thyroid

hormones, so if your body has the ability to make more thyroid,

providing these can help. Selenium is a good antioxidant and can be

helpful with mercury toxicity in any case. Tyrosine can also help.

Amalgam Illness has more information on both of these. Some people

can benefit from iodine, but others can be sensitive. I would try it

in a small amount first. I use kelp as a source of iodine.

I'm sure there are other herbs and treatments for thyroid. Also

dietary advice, like avoiding soy, corn and some other foods. I'm

sure you can find more info in other groups and via google.
