My sister in law has issues with her thyroid and is allergic to the medicine that doctors use to treat it. Any ideas on what she can take for Hypothyroidism?

I have started using this drink not just for Hypothyroidism but for overall health. Health drink Ingredients:
In a bowl, mix the ingredients, except for the honey. Mix them well, transfer the mixture to a saucepan, and place it over low heat. Cook it for 5 minutes, and add the honey at the end.
This delicious and healthy drink is easy to prepare, and it soothes the stomach, enhances digestion, prevents acid reflux, helps you sleep, and aids in weight loss. Just make sure the temp is really low, or you kill the good stuff.
It is said that over 80% of hypothyroid patients have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which is an auto-immune problem. I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (it means that my body builds antibodies to my thyroid gland). To prevent, or slow down, autoimmune reactions:
Make it similar to the above drink by Kajal every night. My drink has:
Also, I read that Ghee will help to normalise hormones (1-2 teaspoons per day). I did not try Ashwagandha but read that it may be beneficial for hypothyroidism patients. And I take 1/2 drop of liquid iodine every day and 6 brazil nuts (for selenium).
Iodine and D3 will usually reverse hypothyroidism. Both are required for your thyroid to function. Your sister-in-law needs to re-evaluate and confirm her allergies.
She said something about the contrast. I'm not really sure. She can eat fish but can't have the medicine that the doctors want to treat her with.
This is what she sent me, so I guess it's not an allergy to iodine itself-which is why she can eat fish.
That article explains it clearly. She’s not allergic to iodine, she’s allergic to contrast used in medical imagery. It’s a compound that contains many other elements besides iodine; it is not a per se iodine allergy. My wife used 560mcgs of iodine per day, but you can safely go up to 1 gram per day.
There are different "kinds" of iodine. Some forms are too strong and cause issues. If she uses regular salt, then she is taking in the form of iodine every day. Iodine is added to salt because the body requires it for function. Agreed with Benton, the type used for contrast is different than dietary iodine.
