Phytotherapeutic preparations containing kelp( organic iodine) have been isolated by me in connection with the need to appoint a doctor as an endocrinologist after evaluating the thyroid function of thyroid-stimulating hormones. The opinions of endocrinologists and physicians of other specialties on the necessity and even the possibility of prescribing iodine-containing drugs in patients with hyperthyroidism were divided. This is due to the fact that some doctors believe that with an increase in thyroid hormone levels that occurs in hyperthyroidism, iodine-containing foods can exacerbate the disease due to the fact that iodine is used for the synthesis of these hormones. At the same time, other doctors believe that the organic( contained in food) and inorganic iodine behave differently in the body. In particular, organic iodine is absorbed exactly as much as the body needs.

Also in the BADA endonorm and endocrinol is an extract of the root of the cinquefoil white, and the substance contained in it albinin affects the production of the anterior pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone, which by the feedback mechanism inhibits the synthesis of thyroid hormones. But serious scientific researches of these preparations have not been carried out, therefore the therapeutic properties of the tampon white are questioned by most endocrinology doctors.

In this article I cite the treatment algorithms used at the Department of Phytotherapy of PFUR, which are given in the book "Phytotherapy. Traditions of Russian herbalism "authors Korsun VF, Korsun EVOnce again I repeat that any phytotherapy treatment can even do harm if taken not according to indications and uncontrolled.
