I really don't know from personal experience but have heard a lot of

people say that they shrunk nodules/cysts in thyroid gland by using

Iodine. Iodoral or Lugol's Iodine.

You might want to ask this question of the iodine group, or the

thyroidless group.

Hope you find help,

Hi Mari,

Having had a TT for cancer I can tell you, it wasn't fun. My bloodwork also came

back fine.

As Val said, you probably need iodine. There is a yahoo iodine group. And if you

start ot and Armour thyroid, you may be able to shrink those nodules.

BTW, how large are they??? If they are choking you, that may be a different

matter altogether. Have thay done a needle biopsy? At the very least, I'd ask

for that before subjecting myself to a TT.
