Question

Hi ,

What are the known natural methods once a person is diagnosed with high TSH levels.High sesitivity in TSH level.....apart from the daily dosage of pills which are taken from the doctor.

what actually is the reason for this?

Answer 1

There are no other known methods.  The reason for high TSH is that your thyroid gland has become unable to make enough thyroid hormone.  Low levels of thyroid hormone tell your brain to make more thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to try to get your thyroid back to work.  Since your thyroid is already doing its best, it can't make more thyroid hormone and TSH levels keep going up until you risk stimulating growth to the point of benign or neoplastic tumors.  By giving your body thyroid hormone in pill form (e.g., Synthroid), when your brain sense there is enough (i.e., you've got the right dose), your TSH levels will go back to normal.  You not only wind up getting enough thyroid hormone, but you don't have TSH stimulating inappropriate growth of thyroid cells.

Answer 2

Ground and support the body with 'earthy' foods like barley, rice, millet, quinoa and all the root vegetables, particularly the sweeter ones like carrot, parsnip and sweet potato.

Also eat plenty of cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens and watercress to suppress excess thyroid hormone production.

Try eating six small meals rather than three large meals a day.

Avoid all stimulants including tea, coffee, alcohol etc. Try reducing wheat and dairy intake for 3 months to see if these additionally helps.
