Supplements PROVEN To Lower Thyroid Antibodies

It's never normal to have elevated antibodies to portions of your thyroid gland floating around in your blood.

The presence of these antibodies indicates that your own body may be trying to attack and destroy your thyroid gland and they are the hallmark of thyroid autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease.

And, unfortunately, conventional medicine doesn't have very many great treatment options for lowering these antibodies.

But that isn't a problem because it turns out that there are some great natural supplements that have been proven to help.

These supplements fall into two groups:

Those proven in studies to be beneficial:

1. Nigella sativa
2. Selenium
3. Inositol
4. Iodine reduction

And those shown to be effective based on anecdotal experience and based on known physiologic action:

1. Vitamin D
2. Fish oil
3. Magnesium

My thyroid was completely destroyed by Hashimoto but I went to church and they layed hands on me and prayed. I also began to drink aswaganda, turmeric, garlic, selenium, magnesium and vit d. And believe ut or not, my thyroid began to grow 😊❤

After developing a large left thyroid goiter which was very painful, the endocrinologist said I had thyroiditis with antibodies >600. T3, and T4 were normal. I was given a short term treatment of prednisone for the pain. The relief was temporary. After finding your video suggesting 8 weeks of blackseed oil 2 G per day, the results have been amazing. The pain started to diminish right away and after 8 weeks the goiter was 2/3 the original size. Even after stopping the blackseed oil capsules, the goiter continued to shrink and at 10 weeks has almost completely disappeared! Thank you so much for your advice.

Don’t forget to take Vitamin K2 with D…
You also need to be aiming for about 2, 000mg of DHA daily to lower inflammation

I take Vitamin D 2000IE/d since 5 years and I have reduced my carbohydrates < 100-80 g /day since 3 years (meaning also eliminating wheat, bread and pasta). But first after I reduced dairy products in my nutrition and added Omega 3 fishoil in my diet my Antybodies are now normalized and my Cholesterol levels are very better.

I took selenium 200mcg and 400 mcg rotating) along with IP6 Inositol and my antibodies went down from 500 to 60. I'm working on the next 60 with black seed oil which I just purchased. Thanks Doc. You know your stuff and are helping a lot of people.^ P.S. the thyroid needs zinc also but don't take it with the selenium.

My antibodies are up up up and my T3 is a big fat stable zero. I am only offered radioactive iodine and hormones for life. I am searching high and low before I take that treatment. Thanks for contribution to my exploration.

[UNREDACTEDTRUTH]

THANK YOU! You're AMAZING! In 35 yrs hypothyroid, I've never had a doctor who actually UNDERSTOOD thyroid (or the human body!) I'm not Hashimotos- but I want to chip in 2 personal observations that everyone I share with has also benefited from- switching from Levothyroxine to Armour was a LIFE changer for me... and eating 4 BRAZIL NUTS/day - after 3 months, my 20 year dose of armour dropped from 90mcg to 65mcg. Coincidence?? You decide.

[kopsie]

I started taking 5000 Vit D3 w K2 a few years ago. My antibodies went from 556 to 222.

👍 I like the taste of powdered black seeds (Kalonji), and I take it with a tsp of blackstrap molasses (for the iron).
Other than that I do not take any sugar at all.
Thank you, Dr. Childs.

Thanks so much for your info.

Wish I was ok with black seed oil, origano oil and berberine, onions/garlic…I get a weird feeling in my mouth/throat.

[rodrigsantsil]

I can't thank you enough. Many times I find content in my language that I don't find in English on YouTube, surprisingly. This time it's the other way round. TPO, Hashimoto thyroiditis are unheard of in Brazil and I've only heard one integrative medicine professional mention those in her videos and what not to take or eat when you have Hashimoto and the levels. She also did mention iodine causing it. Mine is at 28, nearing the borderline.

[charmainetate]

Thank you DR Childs! I started taking black seed oil in 2020 during COVID-19 for my immune system! I'm so thankful for you and your videos, I'm following your suggestions, my thyroid labs are normal range but can't lose weight and I'm very diligent about my diet and exercise, but I'm not giving up!

[micheledipp]

I am post thyroidectomy due to cancer (also had hashimotos) I still have antibodies. Hopeful some of this info can help :)

[madameversiera]

I may have Grave's disease unfortunately and it's really important to stop it since my eye also started bulging out. I'm taking selenium already but I don't know what to take exactly in fear to do some mistakes, and this video is helpfull.

[kennethedwards]

Could low dose Naltrexone help as well? Would be great to see you so a video on this.

Leaky gut is the primary root cause of excessive thyroid antibodies

[mirnaschmeller]

Thank you Dr. Childs for sharing your knowledge! My blood test shows my Vitamin D level is 100%. I haven't catch not even a simple cold in the last five years, so I believe that taking Vit.D3 with K2 has made my immune system stronger. Before being tested for Covid 19, my four year old grandson coughed right on my face. Even though my grandson tested positive, and I didn't get the jab, I never caught the virus 😉.

So a balance betwen selenium and iodine is needed. Lowering iodine effectly raises selenium ...in the same way that lowering magneisum effectively raises calcium. Or lowering omega 3 raises 6. But you can also lack iodine .and a lot of research gives iodine without selenium... as it does for many many supplements which need to be taken in tandem.
