The type of thyroid problem you suggest is often auto-immune disease
(Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Vitamins can not possibly solved this
problem. For all immune disorders strengthening ojas is essential for
success. This is a very complicated case and you will need an
experienced vaidya, TCM practioner, or naturapath to solve it. Also
drinking excess water is not consistant with natural therapy - it may
help in the short term (it can dilute the excess acids in the body
fluids and reduce the pitta (Hashimoto's is an inflammatory state
therefore a pitta disorder) but in the long run this is stressful to
the kidneys.

conteracting the excess acids that are causing this excess acid in
the blood is much more useful than drinking large quantities of
water. Follow a pitta reducing diet and pitta reducing home therapies
is best to start - but most will need professional help for such
problems.
