my theory is that the antibodies are formed in response to uniodinated thyroid tissue(meaning halogenated with something else). it would suggest on again, off again protocols which allow the body to reset its priorities, correct hormonal and other imbalances, and keep an all out attack on thyroid tissue from occuring. i have no idea how long this would take, but it may take a lot of time, say a year or more. removing neurotoxins and endocrine dysruptors from the diet will be essential. everything works better with iodine. everything works worse with mercury. everything.
