Can consuming goitrogens or soy help with graves disease?

Theoretically yes: but in REALITY NO!! Graves disease is NOT "simply" a thyroid disease its also an EYE disease and is SYSTEMIC (thyroid. Pituitary and effect on other glands) It requires PHARMACOLOGIC, RADIOLOGIC or SURGICAL Treatment! Hope this helps! Dr Z
