A member asked:
Is there a need to remove a thyroid cancer nodule of less than 2 cm in diameter or can it be treated naturally? thanks

Cancer: In my opinion, and the vast majority of Medical professionals,...it is best to have Cancers removed more definitively, through approved and recommended procedures. Once removed, then natural remedies can be undertaken to stay healthy. Best wishes.

Say adiós: Hi. A thyroid cancer of "less than 2 cm" (i.e. 1-point-something cm) needs to go. It has a high likelihood of cure if it is treated appropriately (thyroidectomy, then hi-dose radioactive iodine therapy, then lifelong TSH suppression). To me, there's nothing more "natural" than to destroy a cancer, and the steps I've just mentioned are shown to do that. Do the natural thing: surgery, RAI, then LT4
