Hi Gloria, I am doing much better on natural thyroid (Armour USP). I am also doing intermittent fasting, have added a few drops of iodine, and will add bladderwrack to my diet. My sense is that I need less thyroid meds now. There are quite a few people on the webs who say that thyroid can be healed, contrary to what the docs say.

Hi Gloria, *Synthroid* supplies T4, I.e. only one of the 4 thyroid hormones; and this T4 is not even a natural one; so it's no surprise to me that you're not doing well on Synthroid.

Vera is doing much better, because she's on *Armour*, which is a natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) product that contains all 4 thyroid hormones (i.e. T1, T2, T3 and T4).

Further, Vera is correct when she says there are natural herbs, e.g. Bladderwrack, for hypothyroidism; this means you can recharge your thyroid.

Further, Vera is correct when she says there are quite a few people on the Web who say that - contrary to what the docs say - the thyroid can be healed.

In my experience - contrary to what the docs say - you can heal some or all of your thyroid, if you have a little faith, and if you also keep working on it.
