Question: Is there a natural help (or cure) for hyperthyroidism?
Answer: There are tons of herbal remedies on the internet. Here's an example... http://www.nativeremedies.com/thyrosooth...Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) is a hormone problem. For those who already have an existing thyroid disease, excess consumption of soy (which mimics estrogen in the body) can affect thyroid function. You might also consider eating cruciferous veggies only when cooked. Some foods, especially cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower contain goitrogens that can interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis (the natural chemicals can cause the thyroid gland to enlarge by interfering with thyroid hormone synthesis). Other foods that contain these chemicals include corn, sweet potatoes, lima beans, turnips, peanuts, cassava (YUCA), canola oil and soybeans. Goitrogens in these foods are inactivated by cooking, even by light steaming, making them safe for those with thyroid problems.
