how can I get rid of a goitre that has no apparent reason for existing?

Question:

Neither hypo nor hyper, apparently not diet caused.

Answers:
Hello, Zandarnia - as you probably know, a goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland from a number of possible causes. I take it your doctor already did a blood test to check your iodine levels.

There are alternatives to surgery, including treatment with Vitacel GH3 supplements, but you'll have to see what your specialist recommends. Levothroid as well as Synthroid are often used to treat goiters, and treatment with a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation is common.

Check out this website and you'll find out a lot of information that can help you be pro-active in your healthcare:

God bless you and better health to you.
