I am going to start taking this supplements. I al on methimazole for the past 3 months and I have been getting my lab test every month. I lowered my dose myself and my numbers are back to normal and I will stop taking it all together . I am a healthy woman overall and put on 20 pounds with this medicine is so frustrating because it feels like a force weight. I exercise every day and super active . The dose I was taking was 20 mg a day and went hypo right away. Then I decided to do 10 mg every other day and that’s when my numbers came to normal. Now I am taking 5mg. Every other day( all of this adjustment has been done by me knowing my body) doctors don’t care
I was gaining lots of weight and getting more interesting symptoms such as the weird dizzy discomfort in my head and memory issues when on it. My levels were approving on it, but I'm pretty sure it was doing some drastic changes to my cognitive ability. I no longer take it all, but I still feel the affects. Not sure if this is just all in my head or if people are going through the same thing. I had endocrinologist who originally just recommended diet, but she is very insist for me to go back on the methinmazole.
@@dianacarolinabejaranoalvar15 hello Diana. After stoping methimazole ( I was on it for 3 months) weight didn’t not budge even with calorie counting and excersicing more. I continue doing my labs and starting going hyper again . But still didn’t wanted to continue with methimazole instead I went on natural route ( should have done that since the beginning ) and took lemon balm, motherworth and bugleweed. Took 2 months for my labs to show normal again and I have been stable ever since. I no longer take supplements because I wanted my body just to have a jumpstart and start healing on its own. I try to avoid stress and negative people and that has been helpful.
None of them came in. Can you reply again as to what you’re taking source wise? I found a supplement with those and a third herb but the concentration seems inconsistent.
Your video is so compassionate. I appreciate the compassion you are showing for those of us going thru this. My doctors seem to have zero compassion. Thank you❤️
Sad to say I went through all that and survived. I'm telling that was scary but made it to other side. The end not quit the ending on other side of going through the thyroid storm. Be strong get it done. Your life matters.
Did you have clenching of the jaw? I get the eye bulging, fast heartbeat, temperature irregularities, lethargic, joint aches and muscle weakness. I’ve had some symptoms my whole life like the joint aches but it really didn’t hit me fully until puberty and then with each baby, I have 4, it became worse.
I am in a crisis like that all the symptoms, and the doctors I been seeing said is a mental issue , lost almost 40 pounds in 3 months and still not having that much help and I know my organs are compromised now because I can feel a big difference, but nobody can help me , I am just desperate for not getting any help.
Just the other day for me. They were first telling me it was Subacute Thyroiditis. When I complained about the pain where they could give me a Steriod Pack they changed it to Graves. I'm looking for a new Dr.
Don’t worry! It goes away. Try to stay on lower and lower doses of Methimazole as long as you can, even 5mg once a week-the longer you stay on it low dose the better chance of remission. ❤
Yes with methimazole and ptu more side effects with both of these had to take for a little over a year but now finally where I’m trying natural supplements and haven’t had methimazole or ptu in two weeks. Also I’ve been taking Zyrtec for the rashes hives I notice I still do this when I take a hot shower or eat drink something I’m allergic to
Quercetin + selenium made things worse for me. Carnitine did nothing. CoQ10 made me feel awful. A GI Map and getting my gut biome healthy was the best thing I did.
I take medication, and has doen so for 1,5 years. I was really really sick. The medication has worked so well for me, and im very thankful for a good health care system, free healthcare (sweden) and sience ❤. I feel very very good and i do follow ups and get blood works every 6 weeks.
Thank God for the swedish govt. They think like human. Nigerian govt has really care less about her citizens let alone have free health care. The deliberately increase the cost of living resulting in the cost of drugs and treatment. I have not been consistently treating myself because of this and I was diagnosed of GD in 2013. Sad
Yeah, my Endocrinologist doctor told me that life style changes like diet and exercise are not going to change the outcome of my recently diagnose of Graves’ disease. I going to see for myself because she’s talking about drinking some harmful chemicals and taking medication for the rest of my life and my Hyperthyroidism will then become Hypothyroidism, I Don’t Think So! Thank you for this information. 😊👍🏽😊👍🏽
I ASKED THE ENDO PHYSICIAN WAS THERE A HOLISTIC/HOMEOPATHIC/HERBAL TREATMENT FOR THIS CONDITION, SHE SAID…”NO, YOU WILL PROBABLY BE ON IT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!” THEY JUST DREW MY BLOOD, IT CAME BACK ABNORMAL(TSH
Aspartame (the artificial sweetener in everything) poisoning is often misdiagnosed as Graves Disease according to the Texas Heart Institute. I speak from experience. Aspartame use doesn't create these symptoms in everyone, but symptoms can look exactly like Graves Disease when they manifest. If you are drinking or eating "diet" or "sugar free" foods, you are almost certainly ingesting aspartame in the US. It costs nothing to read labels and stop consuming aspartame for a few weeks to see if it helps. My experience with artificial sweeteners other than aspartame has been symptom free. Hyperthyroid medications quickly made me sluggish when I stopped aspartame consumption and my dosage was halved, then halved twice more until my endocrinologist suggested I stop it entirely. I then did a 9-day Master Cleanse (lemonade diet) to cleanse my system and I've been symptom free for 15 years. Good luck.
My son's primary care physician refused to order T4, and T3, only ordered TSH. My son's TSH level has been going down significantly over the years from 1.84 with the last one at 0.8. He's always had a hard time gaining weight. The doc said " it's still within normal range,so I'm not ordering T4, and T3". So we used a lab where you can "purchase " without doctor's order. The result showed high T4. I was furious. Now I'm searching for natural ways of calming thyroid, and I ran into your video, and your calm and compassionate voice is comforting. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Everywhere I looked was only giving results for hypothyroidism. I felt bad for hyper patients saying " none of the researchers care about us. I was wrong. Thank you so much for this precious information🌹❣️

Thank you, Dr Christianson. Excellent overview of all things Graves. Appreciate your light hearted manner, as well. Graves has been a real challenge to me - this video gave me much hope.
Thank you so much Dr Christianson! I can't express how grateful I am to have found your channel and located this video ! I've been trying to find efficient ways to naturally cure my Graves Disease for awhile now and you've eliminated the confusion! Thank You!
Please tell me more about how you naturally cure it. I've been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism for 2,5 years and currently on 2,5mg Methimazole now. My endocrinologist doesn't show much compassion and I have no one address my concerns. Thank you and please reply🙏
@@LyNguyen-jp2so Same here mine endocinologist just wants my thyroid removed tells me theres no alternative cure I feel so down when i go to an appointment but I won't give up trying by natural means!....🙏
Oh my goodness ✨️ I think it's fate that I found this!!!!! I cannot believe how spot on this is!!! I had anti thyroid medication twice then ended up having RAI and when you mentioned Adrenal issues 😮 dealing with that now.. I'm wondering if there is a list of natural supplements to help the autoimmune aspect of graves and adrenals? I feel like the endocrinology field just doesn't get it?!?!!! I struggle and suffer still going in and out of hypo hyper changed dosage and medication 💊 it's exhausting and like a part time job! Now I have the adrenal factor. I have a nodule and may need surgery but I'm wondering if this appeared because of the RAI now?!?!!
My husband was diagnosed in 2022 and gradually had methimazole increased to 30 mg. Never went down on the dose because of his labs. He just had a total thyroidectomy a few weeks ago and pretty much regrets not trying harder with the lifestyle changes first. Sucks we will never know if that would have helped.
Lifestyle still matters. Regulating iodine will help him respond better to his thyroid replacement medication. Take a look at the Thyroid Reset Diet book for guidance.
Thank You for what you do, I just got diagnosed with Graves last week and it has been absolute HELL for me, I had to be hospitalized because my BP was somewhere along the lines of like 160-170, I was vomiting and just overall uncomfortable. I received strong iodine in my mouth and OMG is that solution terrible. I am now out of the hospital but was sent with at least 7 different medications to take daily. I keep looking out there for some info on how to manage if not treat this disease. Thank You for your time
@@tessap5280 no, i received something called “strong iodine solution “ that they had in the ER, they dropped about 10 dropplets in my mouth and it stung like hell. (unless this is RAI ? im still learning lol pardon me)

I, too, consider rai the worst decision I ever made. Basically what I did was simplify my endocrinologist 's life and greatly complicate my own. Eye bulge started almost immediately. Despite 7 eyelid surgeries my eyes continue their bulging. Now looking at orbital decompression as I was disqualified from teppezza. Basically this has ruined my life...
Ake it easy, you can try rubbing Castor oil on your eyelids and round your eyes every night before you sleep it will reduce the swelling. Don't forget to thank me later!
I love the way you explain things and you are so informative! I have been taking large amounts of lemon balm for my hyperthyroidism /graves . My lump has come down on my throat. I couldn’t find any information on rootin I would like to take that. Can you tell me where I can buy it
It's spelled Rutin. While I had to be an advocate of the one store you can get everything online fast, it is on there. I am getting it from Bulk Supplements. I have been taking Quercetin and it has been beneficial. I also take Lemon Balm. Selenium is also very good. Bugleweed seems to help, and a good dose of Motherwort in the tincture form will give noticeable results.
I was diagnosed with Graves, went on Methimazole for a year, went in remission and now have Low TSH again with heart palpitations and facial tremor. I misunderstood iodine in relation to Graves so I bought seaweed snacks for iodine and Brazilian nuts for selenium. The day after I ate the seaweed I noticed an improvement. The front of my neck felt smaller and my tremors seemed gone. So I skipped a day and just ate another seaweed snack. Now I'm watching this video and wonder if I should continue with the seaweed. Interesting point at the end of iodine helping because I think it helped me quickly but I fear now it could be dangerous.
These RUclipsrs make my AS* Tired by putting out these videos and don’t respond to questions on a timely manner! Don’t just ignore your audience when you know people are going to want more information or even clarification to what you just said! 😮
@@jmahoney9561 What helped you was the methimazole. Seaweed is the worst thing you could possibly be eating with hyper. If you have hypo you should eat seaweed. Seaweed has a lot of naturally occuring idoine.
I was diagnosed with graves deceased in 2014. I hated taking drugs. Instead, I stopped eating gluten, soy and processed foods. I detox my body and my liver. I started taking B complex vitamins, Shakes with clorella, Brazilian nuts, coconut oil. B12 5000 micrograms, vitamin D 5000 international units. I also take magnesium and potassium before I go to bed to relax mi muscles. I don’t take drugs non vaccines. I’m 57 years old and I cook my own meals. Please read the labels on what you put in your body. We have to understand that the problem is not in the thyroid gland . It reacts to the poisonous ingredients we are putting in our bodies. Coconut oil is good for your health and also use it as my cream lotion:)). Good luck and please do not depend on the pharmaceutical industry. They want us sick and weak:(.
@@ActionableFreedom And other doctors that are specialized in thyroid problems say hyper people need iodine too. That is the confusing part. What is the truth?
I had done everything I can to the points that my thyroid back to normal for years, then I contracted Covid costing my Thyroid jump up super high, I was in the hospital for thyroid storm costing as much damage to my body. Right now I am in so much stress of what to do, my doctor recommend radioactive iodine treatment. What is the right decision?
Hello. My dad of 88 yrs. is tired of taking the meds that Kaiser has been pushing on him for years. I am trying to help him wean off of the levythyroxine, is there a safe way to do this?
Dr Alan I was diagnosed with graves disease in Jan 5th 22 and have been taking Methimazole when they divided to increase my dosage to 2 times a day i have noticed extreme hair loss I told both of my Endocrinologist they ignore me and say keep taking the medication well tonight I decided to stop the medication and only take my heart medication and I'm getting more supplement like the ones you have mentioned my question is will my hair grow back I know there is a side affect of alopecia with Methimazole and I know if I continue I will loss the remaining hair I have
Sorry to hear about the hair loss. It is not a common side effect of methimazole but possible. Here are some more ideas and solutions: www.drchristianson.com/hair-loss-identifying-treating-and-helping-to-grow-it-back/
Dr. Christianson, thank you for this report. I was having extreme anxiety, it was so horrible then I had a stroke, atrial fibrillation. Then I had. pTU tablets but was allergic to that, Then a scan of thyroid then the treatment with radio active capsule. I didn’t realize the thyroid could cause so many problems. Are there any natural supplements to keep the thyroid healthy ?
Isnt there a risk with lowering Iodine intake that the thyroid will grow as it looks to build more and more receptors like in countries with low Iodine availability giving you a vicious circle in that direction instead? Granted perhaps better tha graves diseases in other aspects than looking really bad and hurting a bit? Thank you in advance if you can answer my question! : )
Priceless information about Graves / Hyper 😊 and just reassuring to hear the hope and concrete steps. Thank you! Dr. Christianson, could you *please* consider talking about whether or not Botox and other neurotoxin is safe for those with autoimmune thyroid disease? My understanding is that when we inject neurotoxin our body begins to build antibodies against it, and this process over time could even make Graves Disease worse. Any thoughts? My doctor has offered me Botox for Thyroid Eye Disease but injecting myself with a toxin that will spook my immune system seems a bit counterintuitive for someone with auto-immune Graves disease 😆 no? Just want an honest take on this and can’t find enough research to draw my own conclusion. I did find a few studies on PubMed that show Botox injection could raise T4 & T3, not good! But maybe this effect is harmless and temporary? Thank you for your amazing work!
Finally a great video on how to treat it Natrually ! Just one question. If your T4 is high should you not eat foods rich in iodine too? And also for TSH: If TSH low = Need more iodine foods? Or if TSH is high = Need more iodine foods? Thank you Alan, it's very confusing.
Thanks! Your TSH does not show your iodine needs. The best way to find out is to track your day's intake. I made a tool that can help: www.iodineinventory.com
@rih2370 Yes it's confusing. Doctors do not know what you think they do. They are NOT the ultimate source of correct info. Get your tsh and t3 and t4 blood test. Change your iodine then retest in 3 months. That's how you do if for you.
Surely there must be a simpler *Natural Remedy* in the form of foods along with other natural herbs/leaves/plants which can be consumed to treat this condition?? If so, what are these natural foods ? 😏
Hello, can someone answer my question? I’m developing facial swelling as a consequence of graves. Will lowering my thyroid hormones reduce the facial swelling?
Please tell me what type of doctor I can see to treat my Graves disease. I'm seeing an endocrinologist for four years, I'm on methimazole and he doesn't believe that diet can heal Graves disease. I do. He is constantly trying to make me either get radiation treatments to kill my thyroid or to have it removed. I don't want to do either one of those drastic things. I need a doctor that can help me to do exactly what needs to be done and find the cause, not put a bandaid on the problem. I will do what ever a good doctor says. Maybe holistic or homeopathic doctor? Please help. I'm in Milwaukee WI
Same here. I've only been officially diagnosed this week, but she was determined that I had it since January and she put me on Methimazole and Propanolol. She wants me to get the Radiation. She doesn't want to even see if the medications work :(
Dr. Thanks for those info. I was diagnosed in 1988 n got the radioactive iodine 1989. I was then hyper. Buldge eyes.went in. Palpitations down.. Had 2 sons in 1990 n 92. The swelling to the neck came back in 2011. Blood test show then hypo. 2021 a ct scan reviled a tumor . Spread to chest and shoulders. Thyroid follicle mass. Tried the radioactive iodine. That didn't work. Now I'm on chemotherapy tablets . The swelling had reduced 80 %. I have lost weight, Coping not well with side effect. Dr. Please I need help.

Have Graves’ disease and was put on methimazole 10 mg. My thyroid started going hypo after about two years. My dose was cut to 5 mg six days a week recently. Will see my Endo this month. Hoping can-totally get off the medication. Also developed TED. Did the Tepezza infusions. My eyes look great but had a LOT of side effects. Cramps, muscle weakness, high blood sugar. Was not fun. I have adult onset type 1 diabetes and Graves’ disease is worse. Just venting. Thanks for your video.
@jane wow I practically have everything that you have. I have been working down my methimazol. I was on one 10 mg pill a week. And 2 weeks ago, I decided to go off completely. I had TED and was treated with tepezza. My eyes are better but still feel pressure. I drink dandelion root tea and that seems to help. But now I’m fighting with high glucose level. Dr diagnosed me as pre-diabetic. I’m convinced that graves cause other health issues and so I’m trying to get to the bottom of this. Good luck to you and everyone who is searching for answers 💕
Thank you Dr. Now I need to find out how much of these supplements to take. I am 47 and feel terrible. I am suffering with slight eye protrusion, fatigue, palpitations, weight loss. I will do anything to feel and look better. 😔 This video is giving me some hope. Thank you.
You need to see a good doctor, you might need to be on medication to feel better while still obviously looking after yourself the best you can. I had to take carbrimazole and the heart palpitations went away.....still on my thyroid journey but I do know stress is something we should be avoiding, getting good sleep, you might be low in vitamin D and various other things, get a blood test done and see what is going on but be kind to yourself and look after your health, take care💐
Not only you.. I had thyroidectomy done and the little that was left is still causing problems after trying to eat healthy. This is not easy but I know there is NOTHING GOD CAN NOT DO.
Thank you Doctor. Back in September of 2022, I went to see a doctor for pain and difficulty swallowing, thyroid levels checked and came out normal, but nodule appeared in ultrasound. Fast forward, this past week I was diagnosed with Graves Disease(hyperthyroid). I would love to take the natural supplements you mentioned but still having pain while swallowing:( Endocronologist doctor said is not nodules causing swallowing problems and the cause could be something else. Had endoscopy done and everything came out ok except for mild hiatal hernia. What is going on, why the swallowing problems? Thank you
@@SunshineSalad Hello when I first developed these symptoms(anxiety and swallowing difficulties) I thought I was going crazy! Lol It gives me somewhat comfort that it was due to thyroid problems and to know I'm not the only one. They put me on medication, but really what i'd like to get is to the root of the problem and that is..how to get rid of the nodules. What has helped you and are you taking medication. Thank you for you input
Thanks for this doctor. I developed Graves 7 years ago and experienced all the symptoms you mentioned including bulging eyes. I also developed a very large goiter. I had a total thyroidectomy and a procedure to help my eyes. Does Graves go away when you have your thyroid removed?
Hi, fish oil is good for hyperthyroidism, but most brands of it have too much iodine. I made one called Omega Pure that is low in iodine and safe for hyperthyroidism. You can learn more here: shop.drchristianson.com/products/omega-pure-fish-oil-immune-function-reduce-inflammation-omega-3-fats-dha-epa-anti-inflammatory
Thanks for this video Dr. C, I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I live in a third world country and my doctors hasn't given me any instructions other than take a few meds for a month then come back. I want to use natural remedies because that I can find here at home. Any diet suggestions from anyone? Thanks
Lemon balm helped me a lot, but most importantly raw cruciferous vegetables, like cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, any type of raw cabbage, they are great for hyperthyroidism. You have to eat a LOT of them though. Good luck!
I started working out and my muscles in the leg takes time to relax after an intense work out. Is this normal for patients who have hyperthyroidism + graves ?
Thank you very much for your talk. I have over active thyroid, found out by having a stroke actually by a fib but actually . I had a scan, then the capsule to ablate the thyroid. But blood test show tit isn’t Getty better at all but worse. I now have to get another much stronger capsule and actually petrified of this capsule. I was put on PTU but had a very itchy rash so doctor discontinued the pTU. I am so anxious and hope I get better on3 dayThank you for you4 advice on nutrients
Yes, the protocol is good for Graves, but often, medications are still needed. The medications lower iodine absorbtion into the thyroid. The less iodine one consumes, the better the medications work and the less long they will be needed.
@@DrChristiansonGood day; i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a week ago (10th May) and i am still awaiting endo’s appointment in June. I have been told to take beta-blocker whilst waiting but I have now bought ALL of the supplements you’ve recommended and I have changed my diet to gluten free and low iodine foods. Cut out processed foods and taking lots of blueberries, oranges, avocado, cooked broccoli/cauliflower. Please confirm whether I can take all the supplements together at once please? ALSO: Do I still need to take the medicine that the doctor will prescribe? I don’t wish to but if I must then I will take them. Kindly respond
@@jumokeomotosho6691are you sure you have HYPOthyroidism? From what you write, it sounds more like HYPERthyroidism. If you have hyperthyroidism, try eating your broccoli and cauliflower as well as any other cruciferous vegetables raw. They are great in helping the thyroid to calm down
My eyes did not start bulging until 6 months into methimazol. Now I notice that if I take too much or too little methimazol, it gets worse. My doctor confirmed that this is often the case. Its kind of hard to get the exact dosage as it varies from day to day. If you smoke you will most likely get bulging eyes, however if you do not smoke (like me) you can still get them
I have subclinical hypo. But I have blephritis too. It's connected. Doctor has not connected the 2. My vision is blurry and has gunk coming out of eye. Thu just tell me to wash my eyes. Smh
Blepharitis can be contained by simply; *bathing the eyes in clean warm water with JJ baby hair shampoo; *followed by holding a clean cloth dipped in warm water applied on the eyes for at least a minute; *Then apply over-the- counter eye drops in the eyes and apply ordinary petroleum jelly vaselene on the itchy dry eyelids. ****Simple, inexpensive and effective. Do the above twice or three times a day - it works for me. 😉

Don’t worry! It goes away. Try to stay on lower and lower doses of Methimazole as long as you can, even 5mg once a week-the longer you stay on it low dose the better chance of remission. ❤
Has anyone with Graves’ disease had issues with their body producing hives and welts and rashes?
Yes. It was an allergic reaction to methimazole (we think). I was put on PTU recently and now I have a constant sore throat. Meh.
Yes with methimazole and ptu more side effects with both of these had to take for a little over a year but now finally where I’m trying natural supplements and haven’t had methimazole or ptu in two weeks. Also I’ve been taking Zyrtec for the rashes hives I notice I still do this when I take a hot shower or eat drink something I’m allergic to

Yeah, my Endocrinologist doctor told me that life style changes like diet and exercise are not going to change the outcome of my recently diagnose of Graves’ disease. I going to see for myself because she’s talking about drinking some harmful chemicals and taking medication for the rest of my life and my Hyperthyroidism will then become Hypothyroidism, I Don’t Think So! Thank you for this information. 😊👍🏽😊👍🏽

Aspartame (the artificial sweetener in everything) poisoning is often misdiagnosed as Graves Disease according to the Texas Heart Institute. I speak from experience. Aspartame use doesn't create these symptoms in everyone, but symptoms can look exactly like Graves Disease when they manifest. If you are drinking or eating "diet" or "sugar free" foods, you are almost certainly ingesting aspartame in the US. It costs nothing to read labels and stop consuming aspartame for a few weeks to see if it helps. My experience with artificial sweeteners other than aspartame has been symptom free. Hyperthyroid medications quickly made me sluggish when I stopped aspartame consumption and my dosage was halved, then halved twice more until my endocrinologist suggested I stop it entirely. I then did a 9-day Master Cleanse (lemonade diet) to cleanse my system and I've been symptom free for 15 years. Good luck.
Agreed
Thank you for this video! So much more information than what many endocrinologist would provide in their office.
Thank you, doctor C. Graves disease is often overlooked. Love you for you work. 😎
My son's primary care physician refused to order T4, and T3, only ordered TSH. My son's TSH level has been going down significantly over the years from 1.84 with the last one at 0.8. He's always had a hard time gaining weight. The doc said " it's still within normal range,so I'm not ordering T4, and T3". So we used a lab where you can "purchase " without doctor's order. The result showed high T4. I was furious. Now I'm searching for natural ways of calming thyroid, and I ran into your video, and your calm and compassionate voice is comforting. Thank you!
Switch to different doctor
Thank you so much. Everywhere I looked was only giving results for hypothyroidism. I felt bad for hyper patients saying " none of the researchers care about us. I was

Oh my goodness ✨️ I think it's fate that I found this!!!!! I cannot believe how spot on this is!!! I had anti thyroid medication twice then ended up having RAI and when you mentioned Adrenal issues 😮 dealing with that now.. I'm wondering if there is a list of natural supplements to help the autoimmune aspect of graves and adrenals? I feel like the endocrinology field just doesn't get it?!?!!! I struggle and suffer still going in and out of hypo hyper changed dosage and medication 💊 it's exhausting and like a part time job! Now I have the adrenal factor. I have a nodule and may need surgery but I'm wondering if this appeared because of the RAI now?!?!!
Thank you for your video! This really helps.
I’d like to know which foods have Propylthiouricil?
My husband was diagnosed in 2022 and gradually had methimazole increased to 30 mg. Never went down on the dose because of his labs. He just had a total thyroidectomy a few weeks ago and pretty much regrets not trying harder with the lifestyle changes first. Sucks we will never know if that would have helped.
Lifestyle still matters. Regulating iodine will help him respond better to his thyroid replacement medication. Take a look at the Thyroid Reset Diet book for guidance.
Thank You for what you do, I just got diagnosed with Graves last week and it has been absolute HELL for me, I had to be hospitalized because my BP was somewhere along the lines of like 160-170, I was vomiting and just overall uncomfortable. I received strong iodine in my mouth and OMG is that solution terrible. I am now out of the hospital but was sent with at least 7 different medications to take daily. I keep looking out there for some info on how to manage if not treat this disease. Thank You for your time
You received RAI?
@@tessap5280 no, i received something called “strong iodine solution “ that they had in the ER, they dropped about 10 dropplets in my mouth and it stung like hell. (unless this is RAI ? im still learning lol pardon me)

Any thoughts on immunotherapy allergy shots while having graves?
Omg. I just went through this too with the exception of the radioactive iodone.
Thank you for this video Doctor. What are your thoughts on peptide use? Could this be helpful?
If I could go back I would never have done the radioactive treatment. I should have sought out a second opinion for a natural treatment.
Best of luck on your health journey.
I, too, consider rai the worst decision I ever made. Basically what I did was simplify my endocrinologist 's life and greatly complicate my own. Eye bulge started almost immediately. Despite 7 eyelid surgeries my eyes continue their bulging. Now looking at orbital decompression as I was disqualified from teppezza. Basically this has ruined my life...
Same here
Ake it easy, you can try rubbing Castor oil on your eyelids and round your eyes every night before you sleep it will reduce the swelling. Don't forget to thank me later!
worst decision ever!!
I love the way you explain things and you are so informative! I have been taking large amounts of lemon balm for my hyperthyroidism /graves . My lump has come down on my throat. I couldn’t find any information on rootin I would like to take that. Can you tell me where I can buy it
It's spelled Rutin. While I had to be an advocate of the one store you can get everything online fast, it is on there. I am getting it from Bulk Supplements. I have been taking Quercetin and it has been beneficial. I also take Lemon Balm. Selenium is also very good. Bugleweed seems to help, and a good dose of Motherwort in the tincture form will give noticeable results.
Glad this is helping you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for this information
My pleasure
Appreciate your straightforward explanations. I have epilepsy and I experience an increase in seizures when I have hyperthyroid episodes.
I was diagnosed with Graves, went on Methimazole for a year, went in remission and now have Low TSH again with heart palpitations and facial tremor. I misunderstood iodine in relation to Graves so I bought seaweed snacks for iodine and Brazilian nuts for selenium. The day after I ate the seaweed I noticed an improvement. The front of my neck felt smaller and my tremors seemed gone. So I skipped a day and just ate another seaweed snack. Now I'm watching this video and wonder if I should continue with the seaweed. Interesting point at the end of iodine helping because I think it helped me quickly but I fear now it could be dangerous.
Keep eating it.
These RUclipsrs make my AS* Tired by putting out these videos and don’t respond to questions on a timely manner! Don’t just ignore your audience when you know people are going to want more information or even clarification to what you just said! 😮
@@jmahoney9561 What helped you was the methimazole. Seaweed is the worst thing you could possibly be eating with hyper. If you have hypo you should eat seaweed. Seaweed has a lot of naturally occuring idoine.
I was diagnosed with graves deceased in 2014. I hated taking drugs. Instead, I stopped eating gluten, soy and processed foods. I detox my body and my liver. I started taking B complex vitamins, Shakes with clorella, Brazilian nuts, coconut oil. B12 5000 micrograms, vitamin D 5000 international units. I also take magnesium and potassium before I go to bed to relax mi muscles. I don’t take drugs non vaccines. I’m 57 years old and I cook my own meals. Please read the labels on what you put in your body. We have to understand that the problem is not in the thyroid gland . It reacts to the poisonous ingredients we are putting in our bodies. Coconut oil is good for your health and also use it as my cream lotion:)). Good luck and please do not depend on the pharmaceutical industry. They want us sick and weak:(.
@@ActionableFreedom And other doctors that are specialized in thyroid problems say hyper people need iodine too. That is the confusing part. What is the truth?

Dr Alan I was diagnosed with graves disease in Jan 5th 22 and have been taking Methimazole when they divided to increase my dosage to 2 times a day i have noticed extreme hair loss I told both of my Endocrinologist they ignore me and say keep taking the medication well tonight I decided to stop the medication and only take my heart medication and I'm getting more supplement like the ones you have mentioned my question is will my hair grow back I know there is a side affect of alopecia with Methimazole and I know if I continue I will loss the remaining hair I have
Sorry to hear about the hair loss. It is not a common side effect of methimazole but possible. Here are some more ideas and solutions: www.drchristianson.com/hair-loss-identifying-treating-and-helping-to-grow-it-back/
Hello thank you for your video. Any recommendations as to when to take the supplements? While taking propytiocyl daily once a day. Thank you 🙏
You're welcome. Hyperthyroid Support is normally taken one daily in the AM.
Dr. Christianson, thank you for this report. I was having extreme anxiety, it was so horrible then I had a stroke, atrial fibrillation. Then I had. pTU tablets but was allergic to that, Then a scan of thyroid then the treatment with radio active capsule. I didn’t realize the thyroid could cause so many problems. Are there any natural supplements to keep the thyroid healthy ?
I'm taking mine all the way out Dec 8 Im so sick I'm not waiting for some natural way I'd take it out today if I could
Isnt there a risk with lowering Iodine intake that the thyroid will grow as it looks to build more and more receptors like in countries with low Iodine availability giving you a vicious circle in that direction instead? Granted perhaps better tha graves diseases in other aspects than looking really bad and hurting a bit?
Thank you in advance if you can answer my question! : )
My hospital gave me iodine for a cat scan and I had a heart attack
Omg did you actually have a heart attack?
It gave me graves and thyroid eye disease. Never again! 4:16
Priceless information about Graves / Hyper 😊 and just reassuring to hear the hope and concrete steps. Thank you! Dr. Christianson, could you *please* consider talking about whether or not Botox and other neurotoxin is safe for those with autoimmune thyroid disease? My understanding is that when we inject neurotoxin our body begins to build antibodies against it, and this process over time could even make Graves Disease worse. Any thoughts? My doctor has offered me Botox for Thyroid Eye Disease but injecting myself with a toxin that will spook my immune system seems a bit counterintuitive for someone with auto-immune Graves disease 😆 no? Just want an honest take on this and can’t find enough research to draw my own conclusion. I did find a few studies on PubMed that show Botox injection could raise T4 & T3, not good! But maybe this effect is harmless and temporary? Thank you for your amazing work!
I want to know this too! Did you ever find an answer?
Sounds like it's counterintuitive. Less stress is the goal. Hope you find the proper treatment 🙏🙏
Finally a great video on how to treat it Natrually !
Just one question. If your T4 is high should you not eat foods rich in iodine too?
And also for TSH:
If TSH low = Need more iodine foods?
Or if TSH is high = Need more iodine foods?
Thank you Alan, it's very confusing.
Thanks! Your TSH does not show your iodine needs. The best way to find out is to track your day's intake. I made a tool that can help: www.iodineinventory.com
TSH low = HYPERthyroid = Do not take iodine or selenium. This info is correct.
@@chrismyers9951 And other doctors say to take iodine and selenium. Why are they all contradicting each other, i don't know what to do.
@rih2370 Yes it's confusing. Doctors do not know what you think they do. They are NOT the ultimate source of correct info. Get your tsh and t3 and t4 blood test. Change your iodine then retest in 3 months. That's how you do if for you.
@rih2370 Remember most people are HYPOthyroid not HYPERthyroid. Two different ends of the scale.
Surely there must be a simpler *Natural Remedy* in the form of foods along with other natural herbs/leaves/plants which can be consumed to treat this condition?? If so, what are these natural foods ? 😏
Get off gluten and dairy for starters. Also all sugar.
Thank you so much!
Thanks doc!

Hello, can someone answer my question? I’m developing facial swelling as a consequence of graves. Will lowering my thyroid hormones reduce the facial swelling?
Make sure to seek out a good doctor!
Please tell me what type of doctor I can see to treat my Graves disease. I'm seeing an endocrinologist for four years, I'm on methimazole and he doesn't believe that diet can heal Graves disease. I do. He is constantly trying to make me either get radiation treatments to kill my thyroid or to have it removed. I don't want to do either one of those drastic things. I need a doctor that can help me to do exactly what needs to be done and find the cause, not put a bandaid on the problem. I will do what ever a good doctor says. Maybe holistic or homeopathic doctor? Please help. I'm in Milwaukee WI
Naturopath, Holistic medicine is the best!
Same here. I've only been officially diagnosed this week, but she was determined that I had it since January and she put me on Methimazole and Propanolol. She wants me to get the Radiation. She doesn't want to even see if the medications work :(
@dukey19941 don't do it * Radiation until you can see other doctor, like holistic and naturopath
Dr. Thanks for those info. I was diagnosed in 1988 n got the radioactive iodine 1989.
I was then hyper. Buldge eyes.went in. Palpitations down.. Had 2 sons in 1990 n 92. The swelling to the neck came back in 2011. Blood test show then hypo. 2021 a ct scan reviled a tumor . Spread to chest and shoulders. Thyroid follicle mass. Tried the radioactive iodine. That didn't work. Now I'm on chemotherapy tablets . The swelling had reduced 80 %.

Have Graves’ disease and was put on methimazole 10 mg. My thyroid started going hypo after about two years. My dose was cut to 5 mg six days a week recently. Will see my Endo this month. Hoping can-totally get off the medication. Also developed TED. Did the Tepezza infusions. My eyes look great but had a LOT of side effects. Cramps, muscle weakness, high blood sugar. Was not fun. I have adult onset type 1 diabetes and Graves’ disease is worse. Just venting. Thanks for your video.
Best wishes 🙏🙏
Thank you for watching.
@jane wow I practically have everything that you have. I have been working down my methimazol. I was on one 10 mg pill a week. And 2 weeks ago, I decided to go off completely. I had TED and was treated with tepezza. My eyes are better but still feel pressure. I drink dandelion root tea and that seems to help. But now I’m fighting with high glucose level. Dr diagnosed me as pre-diabetic. I’m convinced that graves cause other health issues and so I’m trying to get to the bottom of this. Good luck to you and everyone who is searching for answers 💕
Thank you Dr. Now I need to find out how much of these supplements to take. I am 47 and feel terrible. I am suffering with slight eye protrusion, fatigue, palpitations, weight loss. I will do anything to feel and look better. 😔 This video is giving me some hope. Thank you.
You need to see a good doctor, you might need to be on medication to feel better while still obviously looking after yourself the best you can. I had to take carbrimazole and the heart palpitations went away.....still on my thyroid journey but I do know stress is something we should be avoiding, getting good sleep, you might be low in vitamin D and various other things, get a blood test done and see what is going on but be kind to yourself and look after your health, take care💐
Also look at agood magnesium supplement with magnesium citrate and glycinate.....

I see that fish oil is always encouraged for thyroid health. What is the iodine content in fish oil, and is this a concern?
It is a concern. Thyroid Specific Formulations has a product called Omega Pure, which is a low-iodine fish oil for those with thyroid disease.
Thank you Doctor. Back in September of 2022, I went to see a doctor for pain and difficulty swallowing, thyroid levels checked and came out normal, but nodule appeared in ultrasound. Fast forward, this past week I was diagnosed with Graves Disease(hyperthyroid). I would love to take the natural supplements you mentioned but still having pain while swallowing:(
Endocronologist doctor said is not nodules causing swallowing problems and the cause could be something else. Had endoscopy done and everything came out ok except for mild hiatal hernia. What is going on, why the swallowing problems? Thank you
Hi! Before I learned that I had thyroid nodules. I experienced anxiety and one of its signs is difficulty swallowing.
@@SunshineSalad Hello when I first developed these symptoms(anxiety and swallowing difficulties) I thought I was going crazy! Lol
It gives me somewhat comfort that it was due to thyroid problems and to know I'm not the only one.

Thank you for you input

Thanks. And good health and happiness to all.
I have a feeling of almost a pressure on my thyroid. My Dr keeps telling me that diet doesn't help and I have to be on medication.
Thanks for this doctor.
I developed Graves 7 years ago and experienced all the symptoms you mentioned including bulging eyes. I also developed a very large goiter. I had a total thyroidectomy and a procedure to help my eyes. Does Graves go away when you have your thyroid removed?
No.i think u y bulging eye
Fr please is omegol plus good for hyperthyroidism
Hi, fish oil is good for hyperthyroidism, but most brands of it have too much iodine. I made one called Omega Pure that is low in iodine and safe for hyperthyroidism.

Lemon balm helped me a lot, but most importantly raw cruciferous vegetables, like cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, any type of raw cabbage, they are great for hyperthyroidism. You have to eat a LOT of them though. Good luck!

I started working out and my muscles in the leg takes time to relax after an intense work out. Is this normal for patients who have hyperthyroidism + graves ?
It can be. Intense exercise is not always recommended for those with unresolved hyperthyroidism for lots of reasons.
Thank you very much for your talk. I have over active thyroid, found out by having a stroke actually by a fib but actually . I had a scan, then the capsule to ablate the thyroid. But blood test show tit isn’t Getty better at all but worse. I now have to get another much stronger capsule and actually petrified of this capsule. I was put on PTU but had a very itchy rash so doctor discontinued the pTU. I am so anxious and hope I get better on3 dayThank you for you4 advice on nutrients
They need to remove your Thyroid and figure out what is causing your Thyroid to go in to Overdrive!
I don’t eat fish nothing from the sea too much ch iodine
The book title and description state hypothyroidism, is this book meant for Graves?
Yes, the protocol is good for Graves, but often, medications are still needed. The medications lower iodine absorbtion into the thyroid. The less iodine one consumes, the better the medications work and the less long they will be needed.
@@DrChristiansonGood day; i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a week ago (10th May) and i am still awaiting endo’s appointment in June. I have been told to take beta-blocker whilst waiting but I have now bought ALL of the supplements you’ve recommended and I have changed my diet to gluten free and low iodine foods. Cut out processed foods and taking lots of blueberries, oranges, avocado, cooked broccoli/cauliflower. Please confirm whether I can take all the supplements together at once please?

@@jumokeomotosho6691are you sure you have HYPOthyroidism? From what you write, it sounds more like HYPERthyroidism. If you have hyperthyroidism, try eating your broccoli and cauliflower as well as any other cruciferous vegetables raw. They are great in helping the thyroid to calm down

Should we have to take then less salt to decrease the iodine intake.
many types of salt have iodine, but many do not.
I just found out 2 days ago. Is the eye thing for sure with every person that has graves disease?
About ¼ of people with Graves develop Thyroid Eye Disease. Some with Hashimoto's get it also.
No. I have had graves since 2016 but my eyes never bulged
My eyes did not start bulging until 6 months into methimazol. Now I notice that if I take too much or too little methimazol, it gets worse. My doctor confirmed that this is often the case. Its kind of hard to get the exact dosage as it varies from day to day. If you smoke you will most likely get bulging eyes, however if you do not smoke (like me) you can still get them
@carinahotzel4996 it's been 6 months this month, and my eyes are just always red, no bulging.

I have subclinical hypo. But I have blephritis too. It's connected. Doctor has not connected the 2. My vision is blurry and has gunk coming out of eye. Thu just tell me to wash my eyes. Smh
Blepharitis can be contained by simply;
*bathing the eyes in clean warm water with JJ baby hair shampoo;
*followed by holding a clean cloth dipped in warm water applied on the eyes for at least a minute;
*Then apply over-the- counter eye drops in the eyes and apply ordinary petroleum jelly vaselene on the itchy dry eyelids.
****Simple, inexpensive and effective. Do the above twice or three times a day - it works for me. 😉
