Natural remedies for hypothyroid, do they work? are they safe?

I have seen some stuff like "Raw Thyroid" and other natural remedies at health food stores and such, they have thyroid extracts of bovine (cow). I worry because it says that it may cause nervousness, rapid heartbeat, etc. Do these work and can a small dose cause nervousness and side effects? I am waiting to see an endocrinologist, but in the meantime it would be nice to see if I can feel better somewhat while I wait. Just for reference, my TSH was 5.3
How much iodine should I take? I saw on the bottle of Kelp it had all these warnings, I’m a little scared to take it until I know how much is safe. Thanks!

Thyroid Gland Disease & TTC?

My doctor said i have a Thyroid Gland Disease (unbalanced low-Hormones) not enough hormones and it can stop a lot of my health problems.

I have to take these pills to balance it out and he want to check back with me in a month.. Before all of this i did not know what was going on but we was TTC and no success and now i know why kind of… has this happend to other females also?

Colon Cleansing?

I have been really sick for 4 months lost alot for weight, always have nausea. Also lose of appetite and just fell really sick. Have had all stomach and gallbader test and all came back good. Today I had a colonocosy that showed 1 polyp, and doc said it was not cancerous, but is still testing it. I have heard that a toxic colon can make yoy very ill. I was wondering if a colonocopy would show a toxin colon. Or is there toxins that they cant see that can make yoy ill? I also thougt I could have parsites, but never came up. I am only 19 and right before this all happend I went under alot of stress. I beleive stress had something to do with it, but my problems just keep getting worse.

Eggs and cholesterol?

I was eating 2 eggs every morning, because a nutritionist put me on a certain diet (since I have had very weak muscles after an accident with something, and she wanted me to have protein). And, after speaking with her, I was convinced that it wouldn’t hurt my cholesterol. Now, my cholesterol is high and it was perfect before. I never had a problem with cholesterol before this. Is there a good possibility that eating these eggs every day (for 9 months) has caused this increase in cholesterol? If so, can I lower it back to normal by simply stopping to eat them and eating more oatmeal?
