I know this is the the Hypothyroid forum but I couldnt find the the Hyperthyroid section.. Anyway, I just have some basic questions. I am 21 and just diagnosed with an overactive thyroid and I was wondering what natural treatments are available? I have read that L-carnitine, buggleweed and copper will help an overactive thyroid..is this true? Does anyone know of any other treatments? or foods I should eat?
I am really afraid of taking the medication for it because of the serious side effects and I don't want to do the radioactive Iodine treatment...I don't want to end up taking medication for the rest of my life :(... so I don't know what to do...someone please give me some advice. Thank you!!
