any hperthyroids on raw. what is your experience?

i was reading that the only condition where raw food is contraindicated is overactive thyroid.

i have noticed my TSH levels worsen on raw, to a point where they are very low. I didn't twig that it was down to raw food though.

i will be doing a 24 hour urine test on monday.

This quote from the page shows that they know little about the raw foods diet:

"A long-term RFD should be supplemented as the intake of vitamins D, B2, B3 (niacin), B12 and the minerals zinc and calcium are typically low. A further consequence is the lower than average protein intake. Coupled with a low nutrient energy intake, the protein consumed may be being used as a supplementary energy source by the body, thus reducing the available dietary protein even further. As might be expected, the intake of antioxidant vitamins A, E and C is remarkably high. However, looking at the nutrient intake as a whole, the low intakes of certain essential nutrients coupled with the known physiological consequences cannot be outweighed by the positive aspects and should be taken seriously."

Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by parasites.
Buy some parasite cleansers and clean yourself out on a 30 day program.
