Graves disease/hyperthyroidism

Posted by Julian Duncan on 07/19/00 at 03:01 PM


I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in early July with typical symptoms.

Weight loss, increase metabolism (appetite, heart rate 120/min, bp 140 to 150 over 60 to 80,

palpitations and tremor in the finger tips). I have been put on

Atenolol to control the heart rate/bp, and anit thyroid medication (20 mg daily of

Tapazole and Methimazole). This condition typically has a 30-40% chance of remission

but can reoccur. I am interested in finding information regarding naturopathic

options in controlling and curing this disease. Anyone who can steer me in that direction would

be appreciated. I have an initial consultation set up with a local ND (In Toronto, Canada).

Thank you

Julian
