A 27-year-old woman came to see me for symptoms of hypothyroidism. She suffered from low energy, weight gain, constipation and dry skin. As well, her lab values showed high TSH and low T4 and free T3, which confirmed the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. When she initially came to see me her family doctor recommended that she start taking Synthroid, but she decided that she wanted to try a natural approach first.
When she came in for the initial visit, she was already a very healthy eater and had started some supplements that were recommended to her from the health food store. She was off to a great start but there was still a lot that needed to be done. I began by taking her off some of the supplements. Even though they were helpful, I wanted to focus on the essential nutrients that she needed at that time and I didn’t want her to be taking endless amounts of pills. I also had her do a liver detox that was tailored for her situation specifically. She was a great patient; she followed all my recommendations perfectly.
After treating her for 6 months, it was remarkable, her blood tests became normal and all her symptoms cleared. Then 3 months later she came to my office telling me that she was pregnant!

My thyroid tests showed me as being abnormally low. I began desperately searching for natural alternatives and found desiccated bovine supplements . I am ever glad I did. Within few days, my energy levels were back to normal and I felt great! Excellent product!
