There are natural methods to controlling thyroidism, Jo. I've had a thyroid nodule (goiter) for the last 20yrs and hav been successful in controlling my thyroidism and shrinking the goiter by using nutritional supplements. The sites below recommend isolated supplements, but I use a total nutrition supplement. Feel free to e-mail.

I would recommend you visit the following sites:

Mary Shamon at http://thyroid.about.com (She also has a top
doc list.)

Hi, Jo.

I would expect that, by this time, you would have become an expert in Marfan's. Is a goitre part of the genetic signature of Marfan's?

If I had this, I would seek out the best CAP (Complementary and Aternative Physician)I could find in her area (see the holistic practitioner archives for how to do that) and get a consultation with lifetime history (see the Health Coaching Protocol) and ALL of her medical records IN HAND.

Let us know her true options. I will bet that surgery is only one of many less damaging and more effective options.
