I'm going to cross post this in order to get more responses.. so please be patient with me.

I would like information on hypothyroidism. I know what it is, but am interested in input on herbal remedies as to how to alleviate the symptoms, and balance out the thyroid itself.

There are polops on the thyroid as well and the thyroid is "lumpy"

My friend was diagnosed with this and I have recommended some things but need more input then what I've read on the net so far.

Thank you all for your information.

      Also, the article I posted mentions Hawthorn to control high cholesterol associated with this condition but I would be careful w/ that as Hawthorn is an EXTREMELY potent berry/herb used effectively for heart conditions.

      I'll look into some additional references I have at home and get back to you.

        Thank you Katrina, this article was exrtemely helpful to understand more about the symptoms of thyroidism. It seems it can be potentially dangerous as well as being just inconvienent and uncomfortable..LOL to say the least...

        When she talks there are many days where her thyroid is swollen and she can't talk above a whisper as it effects her larynx. She says she gets really bad sore throats because she has polyps on her thryoid. It looks very painful and I have been assured that it is. But each day is different and she has a good attitude..

        I will pass on all your messages and bless each and everyone of you for your posts..

        Thanks again..
