Any natural treatments that will help autonomous thyroid nodulePosted By Sheilagh (Surrey, England) on 05/05/2015
I am new to this site and excited to find a resource for natural treatments for thyroid conditions!
I have been diagnosed with sub-clinical hyperthyroidism. My TSH is zero but my T4 is elevated. About 12 years ago an ultrasound showed that I had a multi-nodular goitre. Although no further tests have been done, other than regular blood tests, the assumption is that I have an autonomous (toxic) nodule producing thyroid hormone. Has anyone had good results from any natural treatments for this particular condition?
Thank you in advance.

The reasons for the antibodies attacking your thyroid and creating nodules has already been unraveled by independent research. Basically the stored Thyroglobulin(TG) is acted upon by the Thyroglobulin Peroxidase enzyme(TPA) which acts to create T3 and T4 in the thyroid cell. Also normally produced during this reaction is hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) as a normal by-product which can be dangerous for the thyroid cell if it accumulates in large amounts. Normally the body produces sufficient glutathione peroxidase, an anti-oxidant, to quench these H2O2 free radicals. But if your body lacks the glutathione peroxidase enzyme then both the TPA and TG proteins will be corrupted by the excess free radical H2O2 resulting in foreign proteins that the body does not recognize -- so the the antibodies end up attack these protein thus creating the nodular goiter problem.
So to stop this destructive auto-immune reaction that creates nodular goiter you should try taking the Iodine Protocol. Take ALL the nutrients in the doses that are advised. Start with a low dose of lugols iodine and work up to the required dose slowly. See this link.
It might also be advisable that you change to a thyroid-literate doctor who can do more to help monitor and treat your hypothyroid condition properly. See this link.
