Has anyone on this board had a problem with a sluggish thyroid? What about taking natural thyroid supplements while on this diet?

I may have had thyroid problems, though I never had a medical test with a doctor. I certainly had plenty of adrenal-related health problems.
My suggestion would be to use Dr Ron's Thyroid supplement:- http://www.drrons.com/
Dr Ron's website is the only website I've found so far which claims not to have any fillers, binders or any other chemical other than gelatin in the capsules - it's expensive, though. ALL other companies, even the ones claiming to be selling genuinely raw glandulars from grassfed cattle etc., turn out to add preservatives or fillers like magnesium-stearate(magnesium stearate is a filler which is the commonest chemical used to make pills, and it's a toxic trans-fat which inhibits absorption of nutrients by up to 80%:-

My own experience suggests that like cures like:- if you have a faulty heart, eat lots of raw, grassfed heart, if you have a faulty liver eat lots of raw grassfed liver etc. Aajonus has pointed out that the glands are the worst affected by years on cooked-diets so it's a really good idea to get hold of raw thyroid/raw adrenal supplements as those particular glands are so useful for the body. Unfortunately, here in the UK, it' s not possible to get hold of things like raw adrenals etc. unless you're a farmer or a butcher, so I use Dr Ron's website to get hold of raw adrenals and raw brain and intend to get hold of the (multi-organ) Organic Organ Delight and the Raw Thyroid supplement on my next order from Dr Ron's as well.

You could also do a parasite cleanse.

well, my mom has this. i'll post other stuff about this. and hoping we can narrow our search by discussing more about this critical disease. i'm a busy mom and it's very difficult for me to spend some time sitting infront of the computer. if you guys live in usa, than if you want, you can call me Monna @ 917-753-8618. I'm desperate to know and discuss more about this. thanks.

sea vegetables! kelp, arame, dulse, blue-green algae and my favorite, spirulina
eat them, they contain a ton of micronutrients and minerals that are necessary for proper thyroid function (iodine!)
they will also be beneficial to your adrenals which will need help as well
spirulina is pretty much protein, vitamins and chlorophyll
