A member asked:
Can any food supplements like amway & usana help in reducing an enlarged goiter which is not functioning at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most "idiopathic nodular goiter" is probably caused by genetic mutations with little malignant potential. Diet won't affect it but suppressing the thyroid-pituitary system by giving supplemental thyroid may reduce the thyroid's size.
