Tips 1. Hyperthyroid patients need to avoid the food rich in Iodine such as fish, crab and kelp.

Reason: Thyroid disease also name as emotion disease. Most of patients will feel their neck become larger and hard when they feel unhappy. Try your best to have good mood everyday will be very helpful for your recovery under Thyroid Throu treatment.
Tips 3. Hyperthyroid patients need to tell their other family members and get their support.
Reason: We find many hyperthyroid patients will easily lose temper. Their wife / husband may feel this person changes to be another strange person. It is very easier to have argue in family. Many of couples get divorce finally. Actually, hyperthyroid patients easy to lose temper because they feel extremely uncomfortable inside their body. They need to find an outlet for such extremely uncomfortable. Most of time, it can't be controlled. Hyperthyroid will feel regrets after they calm down. So to get the understanding from their wife / husband is very important for their recovery.
Tips 4. Patients with goiter on neck need to avoid all kind of beans especially SOY and soy milk.
Reason: There are many research to show that the protein in SOY will make the goiter become worse.
Tips 5. Never take Thyroid hormone (Thyroxin) and Anti thyroid meds (PTU and Carbimazole) at same time.
Reason: Some Doctor will prescript thyroid hormone replacement (Thyroxine) to hyperthyroid patients if they get goiter / nodule in neck. This is paradoxical method that will “LOCK” hyperthyroidism and make people suffer in longer time. We strongly suggest hyperthyroidism patients should not take such thyroxine / hormone replacement while taking Thyroid Throu.
Tips 6. We suggest patients use different tooth paste in morning and night if they get thyroid nodule / goiter.
Reason: We find the goiter has relationship to the germs in mouth. Using different tooth paste can make such germs uneasy stay in your mouth. Please change another kind of tooth paste when you finish the existing 2 tooth pastes.
