check out coconut oil for hypothyroidism...I am on a coconut list and many people use it to reverse the thyroid problems. I know I have very very exhausted adrenal glands, which can mimic or produce thyroid problems. "They" say to take your tempurature several times a day and chart it, including when you first get up. Patterns supposedly indicate whether your problem is more thyroid or adrenal. Read up on soy research...supposedly not recommend for people with thyroid problems...but read for your selves and decide for yourselves with the best medical advice you can find...mg
