        If the medication I am taking became unavailable, is there a herb formula that would help.

          Have a look at the plants in the Thyroid Stim formula. I’ve used it on some folks instead of replacement hormone pills and gotten good reports. I don’t think it’s quite as effective as the hormone pills in serious cases but if those meds weren’t available, it’d be lots better than nothing.

          Aviva Romm wrote a great book on thyroid issues too: The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution: A Proven 4-Week Program to Rescue Your Metabolism, Hormones, Mind & Mood

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

            This has been a question I have as well- what would we do if we are no longer able to get thyroid meds? This will be a topic to pursue!

              Thank you Doc for the recommendation. I have the same issue. I discussed this with my doc, and she was willing to prescribe me a double dose, and I cut the pills in half each morning. I have been able to save up about a 2 year supply or more using this method. But I’m not sure every doc would be willing to do this!
