Natural vs. Traditional Treatments
Natural vs. Traditional Treatments
You see the debate on every group but what does this actually mean?
First, utilizing meds in order to Keep Your Thyroid and your own natural hormone is in a sense a “natural” treatment protocol. Stick with me here. If the standard TRADITIONAL treatment worldwide is still to remove the thyroid either by surgery or nuclear ablation forcing you to rely on fake or pig hormone the rest of your life, keeping your own hormone is indeed natural. Yes, there is still a pharmaceutical med involved in this protocol but it has virtually no side effects in low doses and can be used safely for years to achieve antibody remission and you’re keeping your own NATURAL hormone. The Thyroid Keeper’s Protocol is in a very real sense a natural protocol.
There are herbals that will effectively suppress the thyroid in milder cases. While these are effective they are more difficult to regulate for the purpose of optimal thyroid levels (not just normal range) and achieving antibody remission. Not impossible but much more difficult.
DIET ALONE WILL NOT treat your Graves/Hyper! AIP, Keto, WFPB… none of these diets will lower thyroid hormone! None! After 14 years of running this group and looking at 1000’s of labs, histories and progress I guarantee you this is true. There are studies proving this and although my ban list is full of people claiming diet alone will control a hyper thyroid NOT ONE has ever been able to provide the lab work to prove this is true. Why? Because it is not true. Trust me, there are lots who would love to prove me wrong out of pure spite… yet there are none. Nada! Not a single one!
Choose either NATURAL protocol, antithyroid meds, herbals or a combo of both but diet alone is not an option. The NATURAL aspect is that you’re keeping your own hormone not fake or pig hormone.
*** This post is not a debate over diet. The subject is EFFECTIVE NATURAL treatment using either herbals or meds with the Thyroid Keeper’s Protocol.
