Natural thyroid hormone

I have an under functioning thyroid gland and do not want to take the synthetic thyroid hormone. Is there something natural I can take?

Sure go to a doctor and ask for extracts of thyroid hormone. These have been derived from pigs or cows. The desiccated powder dose is 30-60 mg a day. 


The main reason many doctors do not recommend extracts from cows is because of the risk of contracting mad cow disease- which is universally fatal. So the ultimate choice is yours.
