Hyperthyroidism foundation provides patients a cure for hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is commonly treated using antithyroid drugs or iodine-131 (radioiodine). However, antithyroid drugs have side effects and cannot cure all patients. Over 95% patients who are treated using iodine-131 will suffer the opposite of hyperthyroidism - hypothyroidism disease.
Antithyroid Drugs Have Side Effects
Antithyroid drugs, such as carbimazole (used in UK) and methimazole (used in US), and propylthiouracil, inhibit the production of thyroid hormones. Antithyroid drugs have side effects and cause liver damages, but the side effects are often not told to the patients at the beginning. Some patients have hyperthyroidism again once stops medication.
Radioactive Iodine-131 Leads to Hypothyroidism
Over 95% of patients suffer hypothyroidism after iodine-131 treatment and have to take thyroid extract medication for the rest of their lives. If you have to live with medication for the rest of your life, then it's not a cure.
Some common symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
- Goiter
- Slow speech and a hoarse, breaking voice
- Dry puffy skin, especially on the facee
- Thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows

Often patients are told they will have to take thyroid extracts after iodine-131 treatment, but are not well informed about the impact of hypothyroidism. Stop using one disease to replace another disease. Stop using iodine-131.
