Hi Paula,
IMHO, the best thyroid list is: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/iodine
The moderator is Stephanie Buist (sp?). She has had a full
thryroidectomy, is studying to become an ND. She also works with Dr.
Browstein, who wrote the book: Iodine: Why You Need It Why You Can't
Live Without It and is very knowledgable and active on the list. She
has also compiled a list of Thyroid/Iodine aware practioners around the
country. She will also give you an interpretation of your test results.
There is a non-prescription thryroid glandular concentrate available.
It isn't as concentrated as Armour but you can take more:

Iodine and thryoid are very interlinked...I became hypothyroid at the
end of last May. I was taking the Nutri-Med glandular and then, after
much research, began taking high dosage iodine on August 7th (in the
form of Iodoral tablets, also non-prescription). Within a couple of
weeks I didn't need the glandular support. This probably won't be the
case with you, since you have had part of your thyroid removed.
I continue to take 50mgs of Iodoral (equivalent to 8 drops of Lugol's
Iodine) and am pretty much back to normal. Have to take another panel
of tests to see where I am...but I feel good.
The other site you will want to look at (and it is huge) is

Good luck,

Hi,
I have a big problem. I will try to give you a little background. I
had 60 percent of my Thyroid removed about 26 years ago and they put
me on Synthroid. I never felt good. Finally, about a year ago I was
able to switch to Armour. After a few months my doctor decreased the
Armour. I have been taking only 60 (mg?) from 100. Then I had a test
about 6 months ago. The test looked like I was on the last end before
it would read below normal but she kept me on that same dose. Well,
after another 6 months, my last test was pretty awful. But, guess
what? She is on vacation for 2 weeks and will write no new scripts
during that time, she says so on her office recording. In the mean
time I have been trying to figure out my test. I have come to believe
I need to get a new doctor and quick. Unfortunately there are none
that are into natural that I know of. I am worried about my blood
tests and I believe the hypothyroid is affecting the other readings. I
also was having problems with adrenals which I thought were much
improved. I think what happened it is that once my adrenals improved
the thyroid was able to take-up more of the Armour. Now, it appears
hypothyroid.
