I was diagnosed with hypothyroid a year ago. I want to get off the thyroid medication synthroid. Do you have any recommendations? It is also making my hair fall out.  My scalp is showing on the top of my head - according to doctors I've lost over 50% of my hair which is difficult being I'm a girl. Obviosly the drugs are not good for my body.  I started eating about 70% raw this fall (including seaweed) when I heard it could help my thyroid and am slowly changing over to more.  I exercise alot including Bikram Yoga, running, walking and/or weights daily.  But my thyroid numbers are still the same and really want to get off the meds and still be able to function and work.  Would you recommend the herbal medicine "thyroid assist" (to switch to from synthroid), homeopathics or acupuncture (or perhaps even coming to your clinic for your program?) to get off the synthroid for good and still have energy and clear thinking?  Is there  anything else I could/should be doing?

Thank you for your time.
