Naturopath?

Hi all,

What do you think about seeing a naturopath for thyroid? Is it worth it?

Also, does anyone know a good doctor in Los Angeles area?

Thanks!

I don't know too much about naturopathic doctors.  I wouldn't know how to really compare their success rate with hypo patients to that of MD's or DO's or Integrative doctors.  I'm not sure it really matters if they are willing to treat clinically, by testing and adjusting Free T3 and Free T4 as necessary to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels.  Symptom relief is all that really matters, not just test results, as applied by so  many doctors.  

I just sent you a PM with the name of a member recommended doctor n the L.A. area.  To access, just click on your name and when your personal page comes up, click on messages.
