p.s forgot to say that there are some who say that cooking the goitorgen foods negate the effects of these, however, I think that people need to experiment and see the effects for themselves.
i.e. if you are underactive and have them cooked or raw then see if the slow you further.
For hyperthyroid then again see if they slow you down either raw or cooked.

Thank you CarolineN and Patchouli for the above info. I had also read about cabbage/cauliflower/broccoli etc when I researched my condition and had discussed this with my Homeopath. I have increased my intake of these veg's, cut out salt (as I tended out of habit to put a LOT on my food - but not cook with it) and have been doing so since end of Jan and am seeing her again next week. I'm hoping that the remedies have started to kick in as the Consultant said he could usually tell by looking at his pt's which they are suffering from, either Grave's disease or benign nodules on the thyroid. But, with ME he couldn't tell as I was not showing symptoms of 'bulging eyes' or a lumpy throat!! I could honestly answer no to the questions "do you feel your heart thudding, do you fall asleep often or feel tired all the time, do you get anxious?". BEFORE starting the remedies it was a 'yes' to all of those but even if it is the placebo effect I don't care as I feel better lol.
As I work in Pathology reception at the hospital it was funny to get my blood test result to file for the Consultant. I took the liberty of checking with another Consultant who works in Pathology what the result meant as I didn't understand it and he said it was a good reading so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Thanks again for the info.
Love and light

Synthetic thyroxine does nothing for me and I now take glandulars instead with fantastic results.

Hi Patchouli
I was wondering if you could elaborate on what you mean by 'glandulars' and what sort of dosage is required.
Thank you so much.

My daughter was just diagnosed with Grave's disease last Monday. It all started over March break when she broke her wrists in a scooter accident. The er dr. noticed her bulgy eyes, did a blood test and confirmed that she has a hyperactive thyroid. My daughter will be 10 in a couple weeks.... she's still so very young! The endocrinologist has prescribed anti-thyroid and beta blockers for a month, at least. So far, my daughter's appetite has increased BIG time, she's sleeping better and even though she's recovering from 2 broken arms.... she's doing excellent! Her bowel movements are gradually slowing down and her eyes are looking much less bulgy. We've decided to go the medical route for now. We hope to see a natural doctor and see what else is out there.
I'll tell you this much... it's been a nerve-wracking yet a very educational experience for us! We didn't realize just how sick she was. Now it all makes sense. 🙂
I have thyroid probs for over 10 years.. I still have the Graves symptons even though I had radiation treatment and now have a underactive thyroid. It is something that will still be ongoing for many years.
I also undergone treatment a years ago because of hyper thyroid. My doctor said that, that's the reason why I don't gain weight because it burns the fats that goes to my body and also it causes hormonal imbalance. Medication last for almost 8 months and I was warned not to eat cabbage.
