    Have you ever used virgin coconut oil for hypothyroid
    I am a hypothyroid patiient one of my friend suggest me to take virgin coconut oil MeritVCO... as it's a natural remedy for hypothyroid patient...

    Just came across this article... :)

    HI,

    I would like to share my exp with you all suffering from thyroid.

    I have had severely low thyroid for nearly two years now, I did not want to end up taking Synthroid. When came to know about VCO (Virgin coconut oil ) from my friend, I was so excited to try the Coconut Oil. I took 3 tablespoons a day and within two months, I returned to my physician and she just couldn't believe that everything on my tests was once again normal! She was so enthused that she has prescribed your product to three other thyroid patients since then. Your product took me out of the doom and gloom I suffered for so very long! My muscles have returned to normal... The depression, hoarse voice, swollen face/eyes and all my other symptoms have disappeared! There are many brand available in market you need to choose the right one I have been using MeritVCO. From excelcombine.com

    Here is what you should see for an Extra Virgin Coconut Oil:

    Colourless and crystal clear.
    Light, fresh coconut aroma
    Natural Coconut taste
    Quick absorption
    No oily feel
    Very light viscosity

    An overactive (Hyperthyroidism) or underactive (Hypothyroidism) thyroid can result in increased allergies, skin problems, fatigue, nervousness, gastrointestinal problems, sleeping too much or too little, gaining or losing weight, swelling, and various types of pain.

    Of these two, hypothyroidism is the most common. Doctors are aware of six basic symptoms of hypothyroidism; weight gain, dry skin and hair, hoarse voice, fatigue, cold intolerance and puffy facial feature, but these symptoms are minor compared to the effects thyroid deficiency can have on the body since every cell in the body needs thyroid hormone. You may experience any number of the "text book" symptoms, or none at all. Many people whose blood results are "normal" have debilitating symptoms of hypothyroidism and no hope of any help from the medical profession. Yet, if left untreated, you put yourself at risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, emphysema, arthritis, depression, migraine, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Although alternative medication may work for some people with hypothyroid, I would highly recommend that no one go off their proven medication, and pursue other ways of controlling the condition. It is usually not recommended that thyroid treatment be discontinued for even a short period.
