I should have mentioned I'm vegan. I eat very little sugar/white flour. I do juice, mostly in spurts. I try to keep my colon clean and I'm in the process of liver cleansing, I'm on my 7th liver cleanse. I will give your suggestion a try. I have started using Modifilan, just to see if that might work. I am 43 yrs old and have been taking synthroid for about 12 years. It started off with a lower dose, however as the years progress my dosage increases:( Thanks for your response!
