If you are using a commercial synthetic drug you are in effect creating a no win situation as synthetics are not in line with macrobiotic thinking and are symptomatic pallatives at best. The body does not readily absorb and neutralize synthetics as you know. This excess residue will eventually tax the livere and kidneys. The bladder wrack on the other had is 100 % natural and has a similar effect as syntetic thyroid (Synthroid) so you
can use it daily, along with the hot compresses and standard macrobiotic fare.
Bladder wrack is a brown seaweed that is tough when wet and leathery and crisp when dry. It can be ground in with gomassio condiment and used on grains and vegetables. I am not big on pill popping. You can also try roasting it and making a tea from it, but I'm sure it will taste quite strong. You need to experiment and report back your findings to us.
You alone need to make the decision to go against your doctor's advice. This I can not do. You need to get a better grasp on what macrobiotic is and what it is not. The same idea applies to the Blood Type Diet. No matter how many macrobiotics endorse it you still need to weigh all the facts in your heart and see if it fits in with the macrobiotic paradigm. Do you plan to eat meat if you live on the Equator where it is HOT year round and your blood type is one that supposedly requires it? That is not macro thinking. If you have the vegetarian blood type and move to the frozen tundra near the polar caps are you at risk if you eat fish and small game?
Macrobiotics is all about freedom and balance. You can go anywhere you want and find balaance with the environment by eating according to yin/yang principles and local selection and MB preparation of foods. I really don't know what happened to the posts I wrote on the Blood Type Diet. I rarely save anything I write. Maybe someone else who reads this may know how to access that information. Sorry.
In peace, Roy
