Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Nutritional Supplements & Herbal Remedies

[smiguet]

If the immune system is attacking the thyroid, then wouldn't you need to suppress the immune system until you relieve the symptoms?

Not necessarily, as I get asked this question a lot. You obviously don't want to "rev up" the immune system, but what I frequently recommend to my patients with autoimmune thyroid conditions is a combination of liquid Echinacea and a product called Rehmannia complex, which work together to help strengthen the immune system (which is what I mean when using the word "boost"), and will actually "calm down" the autoimmune response.
