is, in effect, stimulating the thyroid gland.. stimulation of the gland

increases activity of the antibodies which then attack the gland and kill

more tissue....<end snip

Yes EXCEPT that the herbs are not aimed at stimulating the gland - according

to the *medical* experts, nothing on earth can stimulate an underactive

gland to work. The herbs and dietary changes are aimed at turning off the

auto-immune response. VBG. Anyway, ask me in about four months how it's

going as I'll be getting my antibodies checked every 8 weeks.
