From the standpoint: Of traditional chinese medicine, a thyroid problem is a symptom of a larger imbalance within the organism. Although acupuncture may be very beneficial, i would recommend that you continue to be followed by your endocrinologist or internist. Acupuncture can work hand in hand with standard treatments. In this situation, i believe that it would complement but not replace your standard tx.
