Hi, I'm seeing a naturopath who has got me on a thryoid supplement called Veroxyl, 62.5 micrograms. I'm female, 5'3 and about 110 pounds. I am wondering about the yin or yang nature of this hormone, and what you can tell me about its metabolism in the body, and how to eat to balance it. I know that things like this aren't "kosher" but it's only a temporary thing to get me over chronic fatigue (i have low thyroid levels). I would like to know if there are possible side effects that I should know of. I question my own judgement because I am so suspicious of anything not natural that I feel I may overreact and imagine side effects that aren't really there.
I would like to know if my dr is right when she says "no evidence to show that a macrobiotic diet can increase low thyroid levels." Thank you.
I saw an article that Roy Collins wrote about disproving or disputing the blood type diet, maybe a year ago? I am wondering if someone can direct me to this...Thanks again.
