Can Iodine Be Taken Instead Of Thyroid Replacement Hormones?

Can you tell me if taking iodine in place of thyroid replacement hormones is okay? I have Hashimoto s and take T4 only, I don t feel any better, and would like to get off the hormones all together. I whole heartedly believe in the holistic approach, and do things as natural as possible.
