I work for a holistic physician who uses primarily natural supplements and natural thyroid and adrenal replacements. A large part of his practice is treating people with hypothyroid and adrenal deficiencies (they work together). There are books on using natural thyroid vs. synthetic (synthroid) which may be of interest to you. Also there are supplements which can be taken for basic nutrition. If you are interested in more information, please e-mail me at sdcoolidge@aol.com. I'll be more than happy to answer.
