<<...can you give me an idea about what temperature range is indicative of
hypothyroid? Does this refer to temperature taken upon rising in the
morning? Before rising?>>
Testing at home using body temperature is described on this site:
www.alternate-health.com/thyroid.html
<<Is the treatment primarily thyroid supplementation?>>
The "non-drug" approach involves kelp, L-tyrosine, multi-glandular, and raw
thyroid glandular. According to Balch and Balch (2000), 3 to 4 grains of
Armour Dessicated Thyroid Tablets will raise a regular morning temperature
of 96F, while 1 to 2 grains will raise a morning temperature of 97F.
