Thyroid medication? Anyone stop taking it?

Hello everyone,

I am new here. I am an IC patient of Boaz Brizman for only two weeks. I have had IC symptoms for 6 months. 

I did not like the answers I was getting from Western docs, that the only hope was medication, more medication, and invasive treatments. So here I am. Trusting that I can heal like so many others have through this method.

My question is, has anyone here had to stop Nature Throid or Synthroid as part of their treatment?

If so, how did it go? I am very very scared about it and worried.

Love and light to all,

Julie

Hi Julie,
I've been on Thryoid meds for 30 years - Dr. Matia has never tried to take me off of it. 
Hope this helps. Oh, and welcome - I think you'll find that you've landed in the right place.
Take care

I have been on Thyroid meds for many years, I have dropped my dosage considerably and hope to eventually be off of it.  Don't worry, everyone is different and your body will tell them if this is something that needs to be changed altered or removed.  It is a process and for some fast for others slow, but it is always for a better end result! Happy you found this place.  You will love it!
Take care,
Brenda

Welcome! I think it depends on how long you have had thyroid issues, been on medication, and a host of other factors. I know that often TCM approach will allow people to go off the medication. But this is a question for Boaz. You may be able to go off of it eventually or maybe not.

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.

Should add I know one other person that is in treatment that is still on it. But there may be many others.

Hi Julie...welcome!  I have been taking compounded thyroid medication for 7 years.  I know Dr. Matia would like to see my dose reduced eventually.  She didn't seem to have too much concern that I was on it.  Her bigger concern was weaning from any meds taken for IC.

Julie,
just had an appt with Dr. M and thyroid medication was discussed.  She eventually wants me off it.  It will be a slow process as my body becomes more balanced.  I can't imagine what might be the result if you were to stop taking it without weaning and without your body being supported by the herbs.  Definitely ask before making a decision.
