Hypothyroidism: Please follow and read from the below link. Fluoride and Chlorine do not contribute to your condition. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001393/#adam_000353.disease.causes

Drink pure filtered: water only, because fluoride and chlorine in water can block the iodine receptors in the thyroid gland. Being hydrated can help to eliminate many of the hypothyroidism symptoms. for more information talk to your endocrinologist. hope it helps.
