I have been suffering from a hypothyroid condition for over two years and am on medication. Has anyone been able to stop taking their thyroid medication by eating certain foods?

What are the dangers of using Stacker 2 Ephedra Free in general? What if someone has thyroid antibodies?

A friend of mine is planning to try this, and because it’s Ephedra free she thinks it’s safe? What do some of you think? Also, she does not have hypothyroidism, but does have thyroid antibodies and occasional fluctuations with her TSH results(but nothing major), so she may eventually develop it. The label on this product says if you have thyroid disease not to use it. Wouldn’t this also apply to her, or could it make things worse? What can she use to boost her energy and burn fat without worsening her health? I’m thinking there is nothing other than patience and hard work.
Here is a breakdown of the product:

I’m thinking even if she loses the weight, the moment she stops taking the product, she’ll gain back more.

How can I get a prescription for Thyroid medication rewritten/refilled inexpensively?

I don’t have any health insurance due to loss of my job. Therefore, I cannot afford the fee for my annual appointment with the MD who has treated my hypothyroidism for years. He is a specialist and actually doesn’t even accept insurance. I used to pay his very high fees out of pocket because I could afford to do so and it was worth it. My annual prescription for thyroid medication will run out in one month. Is there any other type of less expensive health care provider that can write/renew the same prescription that I’ve had for several years after I’ve had the annual blood work done?

What are the chances I have thyroid cancer?

I know there is a 5% chance of cancer if only a nodule is found. BUT I have been having unknown health problems for 4 years. They found my thyroid level to be pretty low. The nodule was mostly solid and the ultrasound couldnt rule cancer out. I didnt see anything about hot or cold. The specialist said he cant see me for 2 months. Ofcourse I am not going to wait that long. Does it seem like my chances are higher than 5%?

Blood test shows low thyroid levels. Dr wants me to take thyroid supplement. I’d prefer non med solution.?

Letter from Dr re: recent bloodwork says, "thyroid levels were low and you would benefit from taking a thydroid supplement. Please call to start med." I don’t want to take meds. I take nothing now and don’t want to start! I am a 57 yr old female, 6 years into menopause. This is first bloodwork in 4 years. I am a runner. No weight problem. Symptoms, if you want to call them that, are: hot flashes, slower/inconsistant running, some insomnia, little interest in sex, mild fatigue. All of which I attributed to menopause. Of course, I’d be happy to have improvement there, but they’re not a big problem.
Just got the letter so haven’t discussed with Dr. what the levels are and how I might benefit from the meds. Looking for info and homeopathic suggestions before I tell him I don’t want to take the meds.

What Can Help Prevent Thyroid Diseases/Illnesses And Keep The Thyroid In Good Health?

My mom suffers from a thyroid condition and there is a good chance it could be hereditary. Because of her thyroid condition, my mom gained nearly a hundred pounds, as well as various other side effects, before her doctors could figure out why and stabilize her, and her doctors believe that it might be genetic. Because she was adopted and her records sealed, we have no way to prove one way or the other.

So, at 18, I’m wondering what I and my younger sister and brother can to to keep our thyroids in good health and prevent or lower the risk of illness/disease.
I believe my mother has hypothyroidism.
