ANSWER

Hypothyroidism is caused by combination of mineral deficiency and heavy metal toxicity (frequently mercury from dental fillings). Useful minerals are magnesium and zinc. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the condition also indicates kidney stress. Fluid intake should be increased if below normal levels, and sea salt should be added to the diet. Selenium with a heavy metal detox (ie. NAC) should be included in the regimen. A person with heavy metal issues will have trouble absorbing the B vitamins, so a supplement is a wise idea. A person with hypothyroidism will crave fats to replace the lack of energy, and coconut oil vastly improves thyroid functioning, while shielding it from bad fats. Lecithin helps the oils in sticking to the metals being flushed. Iodine (applied dermally) is critically needed for stimulating the thyroid. Kelp (bladderwack) is very helpful for cleansing and providing the critical minerals too. Astragalas is a Chinese herb used to help. Fluoride (from toothpastes and tap water) attacks the thyroid, and neutralizes iodine.

Kelp is the best thing to take for a sluggish thyriod, and it is all natural.
