hypothyroidism

Hi MH:

Nope. I dont have this awful disease ( for which MDs say one needs to be on meds for the rest of their lives.. sigh!!)

I have 4-5 friends who are hypothyroid. They happily take the thyroid harmone, which the MD has asked them to. What causes this disease? lack of iodine. But they all eat iodised salt. Or too much florine? Why are their TSH levels out of whack.

Can the problem be fixed by natural means...can they go off drugs, and have normal TSH levels? Thanks for your replies.
