OK, I understand with this program,, more thyroid hormone would be getting into my cells, Seeing I am hypothyroid due to Hashimotos, would the antithyroid antibodies still be circulating in my blood, thus continuing the need for levothyroxine... or would following this approach possibly also attack the cause of the autoimmunity?The way I read it, there will still be a need for supplementation but it would all just work better with this program and I would probably feel better?As there are so many schools of thought on what actually caiuses autoimmune issues... could I think, perhaps declogging the liver and reducing inflammation could possibly help reduce the antibodies???

The «normal» reference range for the TSH test tends to run from.3 to 4.5, and many patients with levels above 2.5 are told their thyroid is «normal,» while their physicians fail to test to actual circulating thyroid hormone (Free T4, Free T3) or the thyroid antibodies that can detect an autoimmune thyroid disease.
