No. If there was something, there would be no need for medications like Synthroid. Please see your endocrinologist for the right treatment for you.
Go to a doctor. Don’t play around with your body or health.
And if you don’t like what one says, go see another who you think is more trustworthy or better.
Please get on the Synthroid. Hypothyroidism can kill you. My mother was undiagnosed for years, and finally went into a Myxedema coma. Most patients die — she was lucky that she was IN the hospital when she fell into the coma.
Upon learning that ONE SINGLE PILL a day could have saved her YEARS of suffering, including hearing loss & difficulty speaking, I was FURIOUS that it had gone undiagnosed for so many years.
Synthroid is a miracle drug. You’re LUCKY you have your diagnosis, and that this drug is available to treat it. Watching my Mom recover so quickly, and well, from this drug was amazing. I understand your desire to not take prescription drugs, but your desire to be healthy should take the forefront.
Stay away from herbals. If your body needs hormones, you need to take hormones. If you want something natural consider Armour thyroid or Naturethroid. I made the switch from Levoxyl to Armour about 4 years ago. I went from having every symptom to almost every symptom being gone. I’ll include links below about it.
I worked in an office that had a doctor of naturopathy that worked with women (and men) who had thyroid problems. She used armour thyroid and naturethroid. I would call a naturopathic doctor’s office and make sure the doctor has had experience in treating hypothyroid before you go there. I know the doctor I worked for had a lot of success with hypothyroid.
Herbs
Bayberry, black cohosh, and goldenseal can help this thyroid condition.
Recommendations
Eat molasses, egg yolks, parsley, apricots, dates, and prunes. Eat fish or chicken and raw milk and cheeses.
Avoid processed and refined foods, including white flour and sugar.
Eat these foods in moderation: cruciferous vegetables such as turnips, cabbage, broccoli, mustard greens, spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts, and peaches and pears. if you have severe symptoms, omit these foods entirely because they may further suppress thyroid function.
Drink distilled water only! Avoid flouride (including flouride found in toothpaste) and chlorine (drinking water). Chlorine, flouride, and iodine are chemically related. Chlorine and flouride block iodine receptors in the thyroid gland, resulting in reduced iodine-containing hormone production and finally in hypothyroidism.
Avoid sulfa drugs and antihistamines except under doctor’s orders!
They do make some thyroid support vitamin-type formulas, which have things like kelp, but I think if you’ve been diagnosed with a hypothyroid, you need medication. Also, you’ll need to be in touch with a doctor to monitor your reaction to the medication.
There’s a good article on alternative treatments here:
I also suffer from hypothyroid. I recently read a book called, “How I reversed my hashimoto’s thyroiditis hypothyroidism” In it, the author tells how he treated his hypothyroidism naturally with success. He took the following (I am currently taking all of these too):
Blue-green algae (from Upper Klamath Lake)
digestive enzymes
acidophilus and Bifidus (I take a whole food supplement that has these in it called “Juice for Life”)
Coenzyme Q10
Vitamin E
Garlic
These can be found in any health store. I found all but one at WalMart. The Blue green algae was from a vitamin store, but that can be found online. is a great discount vitamin ship online. They always have great sales.
I hope this is the information you were looking for. It worked for this guy and here’s hoping it will work for me!
