Thank you Dean Miller for your comments. I have seen a Doctor, this week, and he has prescribed Synthroid drug, very low to start with. I have not started taking it yet. I would like to confirm that MSM (Sulfur) is not related to the high TSH level. There is a comment at: http://www.bakerfamilychiropractic.com/h.php That: " studies have shown that sulfur drugs and antidiabetic agents inhibit iodine uptake, which is essential for proper thyroid function".
Though, I have not found any other information confirming this. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism (high TSH level). Note: I have seen that reference limits have been lowered this year, it was up to 5.0 in Canada and now it is 4.2. If i recall correctly the U.S. reference is now down to 3.0 (upper limit). Any additional comments would be appreciated from you or other experts in this field...
