If you have Graves disease and want to use natural treatment methods to restore it to normal, you will most likely want to consult with a natural endocrine doctor. However, finding a holistic physician who specializes in endocrine disorders like Graves’ disease is not an easy task. Of course, you can choose to speak with a holistic “general” practitioner. However, being someone who personally dealt with Graves’ disease and used natural treatment methods successfully, I highly recommend speaking with a natural endocrine practitioner for optimal results.

But how do you find a competent natural endocrine practitioner? The best way to find a good doctor is through a referral, as if you know someone who was treated by a natural endocrine doctor and had excellent results, then it is definitely someone you will want to contact. Of course, most people don’t have that connection, so they resort to finding a doctor on their own.

No need to speak to someone locally

While it would be great if you could find a natural endocrine practitioner close to where you live or work, the good news is that you generally don’t need to speak with a comprehensive practitioner in person. Assuming an endocrinologist or GP has already diagnosed you with Graves’ disease and performed a physical exam, it’s perfectly fine to consult with a doctor remotely over the phone.

In fact, this is what I did when I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease. Since there was no local natural endocrine doctor that I could speak to in person, I was faced with the choice of speaking with a local naturopathic doctor who probably had some experience with thyroid conditions or speaking remotely over the phone with a doctor. who had a great deal of experience treating Graves’ disease. I chose the last option, since although I would have liked to speak with someone in person, I preferred to consult with someone with a lot of experience, and to this day I do not regret it.

In fact, there are some benefits to speaking with a doctor remotely over the phone. A big advantage is not having to wait in a doctor’s office to see a doctor, as I would speak to them from the comfort of my own home. Also, I didn’t have to drive to an office, deal with rush hour traffic, etc. So convenience is definitely one of the benefits of talking remotely with a natural endocrine practitioner.

Using the Internet to Find a Natural Endocrine Doctor

Of course, you can also use the Internet to find a holistic doctor who specializes in treating endocrine disorders naturally. You should be careful, as there are some doctors who may claim to specialize in endocrine disorders, when the truth is that they accept many other types of cases and as a result only deal with a handful of patients with Graves’ disease on a weekly basis. or monthly. Let’s not forget that Graves’ disease is a serious autoimmune thyroid condition, so you really want to consult with someone who is very experienced.

Going back to web search, of course, you can visit your favorite search engine and type in the words “Natural Endocrine Doctor” or “Natural Thyroid Specialist”, and then call some of the listed doctors to determine which one might be a good suitable for you. In fact, I list some websites that you can visit in my free guide titled “The 6 Steps on How to Treat Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Through Natural Methods.” If you haven’t received your free copy, you can get it by simply entering your name and email address on the right side of my website, found at the end of this article.

Self-treating your condition can be risky

Some people with Graves’ disease try to treat their condition with nutritional supplements and herbal remedies. I’m not a fan of self-treating any thyroid condition naturally, but it’s especially risky to treat Graves’ disease on your own. I am a healthcare professional and although I could easily have done a bit of research and tried to self-treat my condition, I decided to consult with someone who was more knowledgeable than me at the time. And while I have the knowledge today to help people with Graves disease and other thyroid conditions, I can tell you with certainty that if I had tried to self-treat my condition at the time I was initially diagnosed, I would not have received the same results, and most likely it would not have restored my health to normal.

Although nutritional supplements and herbs play a role in helping people with Graves disease, not all people with Graves disease need to take the same kinds of supplements and herbs. Also, different people will, of course, require different dosages. In addition, there are other important factors for recovery besides taking supplements. So while it may seem easy enough to visit your local health food store and buy some nutritional supplements and / or herbal remedies, in most cases, Graves’ disease is too complex a condition to treat on its own. .

In short, finding a competent natural endocrine practitioner can be challenging, but if you want optimal results, you should consider speaking with someone who focuses their practice on endocrine diseases.
