Common Questions and Answers about Graves disease natural remedies

Before I was diagnosed with Graves' I almost always used natural tinctures for any problem I had. I used a relaxing sleep tonic, a valerian and passionflower compound and I used it nightly with no side-effects/addiction...and it always worked great. However, you should ALWAYS talk to a doctor about any supplements/vitamins/over the counter meds...whatever, when you are "mixing" medicines.

I have been reading up on how to treat Graves...I am sure there is someone on here who has tried natural remedies...do they work well enough to skip the meds or not? Any information would be appreciated...

My mom and aunt have hypothyroidism. Any ideas? My general practitioner said I may have Graves disease or thyroiditis. Are there any natural remedies I can try until I can get in with a doctor? Thanks so much!

Graves Disease cannot be cured...sorry to say you have it for life. As for the natural 'way', I have never come across anyone who has succeeded in 'controlling ' Graves with natural therapies alone. If you do have Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism, you are at high risk of thyroid storm (atrial fibraillation) if not on anti-thyroid medications which can result in a massive heart attack or even death. I am not trying to scare you in anyway...

If someone does know anything, let me know, because my mother also was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism (as opposed to hyper) and I have had it for over 10 years, and she did tons of research for this and came up empty. She hates to take medication and prefers natural remedies and supplements.

I was just diagnosed with Graves Disease. I've been doing reasearch on the Internet and now I am TERRIFIED! Are my eyes going to bulge and my hair fall out?

I have recently been diagnosed with graves disease. I dont like the traditional treatments my ex endo gave me - radiation, cutting it out, or dangerous drugs. Doe anyone know of alternative treatments that really work?

I don't see a range, but they said its high. Over the range TPO indicates Hashimotos hypothyroid disease. In Hashimoto, autoimmune antibodies are slowly attacking the thyroid gland. This is the most common cause of hypothyroid. Most of us here have this. No med will lower antibodies, thyroid med is simply replacement hormone for what someone with Hashi is lacking.

Sorry I forgot to mention how long. It's 1 1/2 years.

I also have graves disease dxd Dec 2007. Like you, my graves disease began right around the time that I wanted to start a family & I had all the same symptoms as you. Fortunately the PTU is working for me. I have decided to have surgery, but I am waiting until January for other reasons. My Endo says that you can get pregnant sooner after surgery, vs RAI you have to wait 6-12 mos before TTC.
