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...
