[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone for the feedback! I have stopped running (used to run daily 4-5 miles/day) and am doing yoga and taking more walks. This has also been good for my stress.I am eating only whole foods (fruits, vegetables, and only grain-fed meat/wild fish from Whole Foods). I have cut out all caffeine and coffee. I have been drinking bone stock also. I have not been brave enough to try animal liver yet--I know I will need to after reading all of the great health benefits. I also need to cut out the palstic containers and stop using the microwave--those are next steps I need to take.

I found a natural doctor in Rockville who specializes in thyroid disorders. I emailed her yesterday and really appreciated her response and her experience with Graves. She also works dircetly with endocrinologists which is what I wanted--a natural doctor working with me, but also a traditional doctor following me as well. I will update after I start working with her.

To the skpetics out there, I understand. Part of me is a little bit skeptical. However, traditional medicine only treats the thyroid which is not the problem. The problem is the autoimmune disease which is causing the thyroid to go out of whack. Autoimmune diseases are caused by a variety of factors: leaky gut, stress, etc. I wish to address the underlying problem first. I have to say I feel GREAT on this diet and my acne has basically cleared up after a little over 2 weeks on the diet. My pulse is also running in the high 60s to mid 70s which is great for me. Prior I was running the in mid 80s. I am already seeing some very minor improvements. I am a registered dietitian trained in traditional medicine. I worked with traditional doctors daily and see the flaws in the way they practice. They treat the symptoms and provide drug therapies which do not get at the root cause and could cause other problems. I realize this approach may work for some people, but I wish to explore all other options before I ablate my thyroid. [/quote]
