Graves’ Disease can be effectively treated by Mints Naturopathic Physicians
There are a lot of people who have Graves’ disease who tolerate anti-thyroid drug treatment just fine or successfully treat with radioactive iodine. There are also a lot of people who don’t and seek professional care on how to navigate still feeling well all the while reducing the risks of Graves’.
Naturopathic Physicians at Mint at trained to properly interpret your lab reports, monitor your condition and help you get into remission and stay there.
We use novel therapies including Low Dose Naltrexone, L-Carnitine, Anti-thyroid herbs like lycopus and rosmarinus, Selenium and Vitamin D to make it all happen. We worked on inflammation pathways through dietary suggestions and supplementation to support the underlying causes of autoimmunity.
For people with mild eye symptoms of Graves’ we can also prevent the progression and worsening of these as well as heart symptoms like palpitations and fast resting heart rate.
Naturopathic Physicians also test for thyroid receptor antibodies in addition to TSH and free T4 to monitor for continued remission and risk of recurrence so that we can stay on top of the 20% of people who will incur relapses despite having a seemingly healthy thyroid.
Lastly, if you are someone who has been treated with radioactive iodine or surgery and require further support to feel your best with thyroid hormone replacement we can help.
