> My impression is that some of the articles describing [[thyroid]] storm were written by hysterical people who didn’t understand [[thyroid]] metabolism. After I had been exposed to a pesticide, I experienced a few weeks of [[hyperthyroidism]], probably a normalizing process after the antithyroid toxin was gone. Besides washing my [[hair]] two or three times a day and eating a lot, I didn’t do anything. A few people I’ve known wanted to stop the symptoms without a drug; some of them drank a glass or two of cabbage juice for a couple of days, others ate liver once or twice a day.
