The holistic MDs for thyroid use what is called physiological replacement. This is natural thyroid hormone from animals.
They don't use herbs etc to fix thyroid issues. But they do have their own criteria to see if you are showing what is called thyroid resistance. That means your own hormone is not working and another source can maybe help.
Don't confuse alternative and holistic. The holistic MDs are more medical than alternative.
This is called Wilson's Syndrome (not to be confused with Wilson's disease which is a liver disorder).

The MDs who treat this still use thyroid hormone, just not the same type or the same way as levothyroxine treatments.
