What is considered the number one treament for graves disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: The treatment should be tailored to each patient's needs. In some, medication may be sufficient, others may require radio-iodine treatment to destroy the gland. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/graves-disease/ds00181.
