Thyroid and BC questions??

[ilovebanannas]

I am about to start this raw food diet tomarrow (Monday). I have read the book, and am very excited to begin but I do have some questions that relate to me that I wanted to know if anyone had answers.
First of all, I have a low thyroid level. My doctor has put me on a small dose of thyeoid to aid this. I would hope that I dont have to take this medication. Is there something that I can eat or do that will help my thyroid level go up?? I know that I am not the only person with this problem, and could this lifestyle be bad for my thyroid??
Secondly, I am currently on birth control and I know people will have mixed feelings about this. I am planning on staying on for about another year or so, but will this play a negatave impact in any way to the raw food diet??
I am still going to start the diet, but I just wanted some feedback from people so I can have a small idea of what to expect. thanks in advance...

I know that there are many old threads on here about thyroid. I just don't have time to search them out for you. Use the banana. I have known of people who were able to stop the medication. . . . others who weren't able to stop . . . . some who went 100% . . . others who didn't . . . . and some who went back to SAD after 5 and 7 years at 100% because of the thyroid. It is all so individual. There have been posts here of people who were able to get off the Rx.
