I use acupuncture and herbals/vitamins/homeopathics it to complement my
treatment with Thyrolar and deal with hypothyroid symptoms, but not as a
substitute. A nutritional doctor, Dr. Langer, uses vitamins, herbs and
homeopathy to help wean patients off Armour Thyroid, but he always gives
them thyroid hormone to start, it seems.
