I am interested in doing the detox program, but would like your advice before I start. I am currently taking T3 & T4 medications because I have had my thyroid gland removed. Will the detox program cause my body not to utilize my medications? Can you explain to me why or why not it would/wouldn't affect my medications?

Thank You!

I called my pharmacy where I get my meds compounded and he agrees.
Thanks Again, Dr. Scott

Detox Program

Hello Patrice,

The detox program is designed to cleanse the body as a whole through whole foods, fiber, antioxidants and natural supplements. The major detox pathways in the body include the liver, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and skin. The program or supplements do not directly target the thyroid or its function.

For liability reasons we cannot offer specific medical advice in this online forum, so it's always best to inform your primary care if your health changes at all or if you have questions regarding your specific medication. But generally people taking thyroid medication do not need to be overly concerned when preparing for a detox.

I hope this helps put your mind more at ease.
