Miss Heels,

Thanks for making the observation about the Thyroid medication, it's always good when we have your insightful presence.

Shirl, Dr. Bhatia is another good choice for you if you want to email him privately and work something out with him, we've seen him here on the BB for a long time and he's demonstrated his expertise time and again.

Another thing I would bring up for general discussion regarding this case is Thyroidinum 6X once a day. This is supposed to stimulate the thyroid to function normally.

Shirl, homeopathy is not harmful, but patients can be harmed when homeopathy is used improperly, and this would include a failure to adjust Rx drugs as the patient has less need for them, so when the homeopath isn't an MD, and the actual MD is hostile to homeopathy, this can turn into a problem for the patient.

Again, I can recommend Dr. Bhatia, Dr. Leela,
Luc De Schepper and Timothy Dooley, as I stated above. I guess, Shirl, that it's no different in homeopathy than with finding a doctor in general.
People are very much at risk just by seeing an MD.
Doctors are the 4th leading cause of death in the United States, so in that context, continuing to search out a good homeopath and doing your own reading as you did with The Organon, will help you to recognize a good practitioner when you see one. But, again, it's not that homeopathy is harmful, it's that poor case management can be harmful--adjusting the Rx drugs, staying with the potency that works, going up in small degrees, knowing when to change the remedy, all these things have to be mastered for the sake of the patient, so, it's not as easy as it seems.
