Oops, went to post this paper on my little subreddit and it’s already there! There’s quite a lot of this sort of stuff in the literature, what we need is someone to give it a go in a proper trial and work out whether it really helps. I’m sure that it will work for some people, I’m fairly sure that it won’t work for everyone.
If I take Gordon Skinner seriously, then a good ‘diagnosis of hypothyroidism by symptoms’ should be what would tell you in advance whether it would work or not. But honestly, if you’re careful enough that you can try this on yourself without doing harm, just give it a go. Do tell your doctor what you’re doing. He’ll tell you not to, but he can keep an eye on you while you do it anyway.
