Shirley is so right about the iodine, and I wish I had mentioned it as something to try before resorting to Armour but I must have went blank there. Taking iodine along with 200 mcg. of selenium a day can help to balance ones thyroid production. They should both be taken, because taking only one can cause imbalances. As long as one does not have the autoimmune thyroid disorder called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, then the iodine should speed him up and help. Otherwise, it could make the narcolepsy worse because with Hashi's, ones body makes antibodies that attack and destroy the thyroid gland, and that's where the iodine needs to be processed to help. I think the iodine would be worth a shot regardless for now though, because he can see how it makes him feel and go from there. If it doesn't work out and he has difficulty finding a good thyroid doctor (one that is willing to prescribe Armour and go up to a dose of 3 to 5 grains a day) then he can always look into self-treating. I did and it works for me. I learned how by joining a group at Yahoo called NaturalThyroidHormones.
Hope this helps.

That always helps everything. Iodine can be taken internally, but be careful not to overdose. Also, start slow to see if there is any allergy to it. Lugol's is probably best for this purpose. Iodine may explain how the Japanese are so long-lived in spite of all that mercury in the seafood they eat. Seafood has lots of iodine in it. best wishes, pj
