Do soy products interfere with thyroid medication and functioning? If so, did prior use of soy cause irreversible damage?

Hello,
Any time you are taking prescription medications it is important to speak with your doctor before taking any type of supplement! To my knowledge soy should not interfer with a thyroid medication and would most definitely not cause actual damage to the thyroid. If you are having problems that are related to your thyroid you may need an adjustment in your medication and should see your doctor immediately.
Thank you!

Sorry to disagree but soy is a detriment to all people who have hypothyroidism. Please go to this site and read all about the soybean. It is: thedoctorwithin.com You need to type 'the' it is part of the URL. Then click on chapters to the left, scroll down to A magic bean and you will learn all about this deadly non-food item. One of the things in the article states that the next to the last step before the final processing of soybeans is to wash them with Drano-yes that's right Drano which is used to clean out your drains in your sinks. Just because some doctor or anyone else tells you this is good for you-look it up yourself. You will be shocked at what you find as I was from doing a Google search and putting in dangers of soy, toxins in soy. It is unbelievable. Also go to the above site - very informative.
