   Thank you for this information. I have been desperately searching for doctors that will discuss my thyroid condition in view of the Lord, as well as whole food plant based nutrition. Not an easy thing to find, as you probably know. I am hypothyroid (no antibodies) and have been taking a low dose Synthroid for 3 years. About a year ago I adopted a whole foods plant based diet and love it. I’m on no other medication, have normal blood pressure, lost 25 pounds and really feel much better. I guess I’m just a little discouraged about still having to take my thyroid medication, while hearing how so many other conditions have been able to get off of medication through a better diet/lifestyle. I am fully committed to the Lord and trust in His guidance and hope for my salvation!

   I guess my question is: Have you ever seen anyone with a similar case be able to come off of their thyroid hormone, or once the thyroid is behaving like this, is it alway required to be medicated despite eating/lifestyle changes?

   Thank you so much for your time!
   Blessings,
   Kris
