So I have been looking into lots of way to healing the thyroid and coming off the thyroxine. Has anyone ever successfully managed to do this. I have been following and reading a lot of information from Gary Brecka who is a biologist and does a lot of work on thyroid function. I have started supplements

subclinical - do I need levo?

I was referred to Endo who did a check on my antibodies - was clear. Every year, my tsh was either just

Dietary Approaches to Improve Efficacy and Control Side Effects of Levodopa Therapy in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review
I was researching supplement BCAA provided by my husband's functional medicine MD. I was surprised to find one of the ingredients was listed as a major contraindication with levodopa. L-Phenylalanine. Dug a little deeper and it related to protein and impact on levodopa. Found an interesting article

Folate issues
Some months ago, I noticed a link to an article on toxicity of high B12 levels. I meant to read it but now can't find it. Could someone please send me the link? Many thanks.

Low T3
Hi, I have been hypothyroid for many years now, but I am really struggling with brain fog and fatigue. I am currently taking 75mcg of Levothyroxine daily, but my doctor says I am overmedicated and wants to drop the dose to 50mcg . I have resisted this so far. She refuses to test T3 as she says if

Chart comparing contents of Vitamin B Complexes
Dear Friends, Very recently, a chart comparing the contents of the various Vitamin B Complexes was posted, and I accidentally deleted the post before copying and saving the information.

Loss of taste of food due to anxiety.
I don't have taste of food at all. Is this due to anxiety or vitamin c deficiency? I can taste ice cream somewhat though.

Hi I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost 5 years ago now despite me not having any symptoms. I'd had a blood test because of illness in my family and I was very surprised to find out that my T4 levels were around 8.5 and my TSH was 10.3. My antibodies were out of range and my iron levels were borderline
