This is very sad. I remember how bad I felt before I started to take natural thyroid. I was taking natural thyroid for three years, then nothing for two years and then had to go back on it for about a year. I used both nutri-meds and Armour. I have been off thyroids for a year now. The reason I am posting this is to show that it is possible to get off thyroid meds if you can remove the underlying cause of hypothyroidism. In my case I think it was mercury from eight silver fillings which I had taken out and broken thermometers. The fist time I used magnetic clay baths and the second time moreless alkalizing bath plus Bio-chelat in both instances. Check out my experience and that of others who had success with the moreless baths and drink. I believe the baths make the real difference. I feel bad for people who have to be on thyroid and cannot get Armour. Then you have those who had their thyroid removed.
