Does this stuff also encourage a decrease in thyroid function?  What I mean
is I recall reading that one of the downsides to prescription medications
used to treat hypothyroidism is that they essentially replace what the
thyroid isn't producing--and that this in turn causes the thyroid to work
even less well, or something like that...  Maybe I misunderstood completely!

Does this stuff simply support the thyroid or what?  I ask because I'm also
one of those with lower than average temperature and was wondering if a
little support might be a good thing, but didn't want to screw my system up
even further!  I'm *trying* to fix it :)

Or is this OT, too?  If so, sorry...
