Nutritionally, Vitamin E stimulates the underactive thyroid, Niacin
stimulates the underactive thyroid and Vitamin E antagonises the
underactive.

Certain foods contain an antithyroid factor, goitrin, which depresses
thyroid function by interfering with thyroxine's ability to use
iodine.  These foods are beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, lettuce,
peaches, spinach and strawberries.  Iodized salt, kelp (seaweed), and
sea food are rich natural sources of iodine.

Another idea.  Although Dr. Sandra Cabot is a liver and hormone
specialist, it may be a good idea to consult her.  I think she is just
www.liverdoctor.com  - if not go to http://www.whas.com.au/
 and try to get to her from there.  As far as I know her consultations
are free - well I had a freebie as I spoke to her on radio.  She is
part of Mission Possible International, the organisation working
against the use of aspartame.

Or you could write directly to Patricia Zelini who works for Sandra as
the hormone specialist at [email protected] .The organisation
is so large that there are three who do nothing but answer the
e-mails.

Regards,
Judith.
