Mr. lybrate-user rao, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Please understand that hypothyroidism is a thyroxine hormone deficiency disorder. Which means that your thyroid gland is not producing enough or almost nil of that hormone. Since it is required for a number of vital metabolic functions in the body plus for normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented every day for lifetime. Taking some other alternate therapies has absolutely no benefit. It is better if you come back in a private conversation with necessary details like your symptoms, dietary pattern & lipid profile (as lipids also are deranged in hypothyroidism), on going through those details I will be able to advise appropriately. Thanks.
