If getting pregnant will make you happy, repairing your thyroid may be a godsend. Otherwise, be very careful. Fertility and a healthy thyroid go hand in hand.

Most of our clearly low-thyroid clients haven’t had much luck with over-the-counter glandular thyroid preparations, perhaps because their potency is so unpredictable. By law, they are supposed to have the truly active ingredients, T₃ and T₄, removed. Fully potent extracts from animal glands can be had by prescription. That’s the primary reason we’ve had to rely on pharmaceutical help for thyroid revival; but if your thyroid problem is mild to moderate, over-the-counter glandulars can be helpful.

The other natural remedy that we have seen be effective with some people is the homeopathic thyroid products which contain potent though submicroscopic amounts of animal thyroid tissue. You may need to find a homeopathic practitioner who is familiar with these types of remedies (called “sarcodes”) or one who will research them for you. Or just buy them yourself and see how you respond.

Most of our low-thyroid clients have had to seek holistic medical assistance to get properly tested and to get full potency medication, whether glandular or synthetic. Please see the “Thyroid Tool Kit” for specific guidance in every step of this campaign to revive your thyroid—from finding an effective physician to determining if a course of medication is really working. The reason I’m going to give you such detail in the “Thyroid Tool Kit” is that this information is very hard to come by. It’s technical and you’ll need to study it, but without it you may never know what your options are and never fully recover from the mental and physical blahs.
