My periods have always been regular but I'm now 2 months late. A blood test says I'm not pregnant. I also have Hypothyroid and I'm taking some medications. Could this be the reason for a missed period?

It could very well be the reason. If you've just recently been diagnosed as having hypothyroidism then I'd say that it probably is why you've missed your period, though I'm not sure on how irregular periods usually are because of it. 2 months seems a long time but as I said I'm not entirely sure how irregular they can be, saying that, I've gone at least a month without having one, sometimes maybe even longer. If you've just recently been put on the medication then I'd imagine things will even out and get back to your normal cycle once the meds have started to take effect and gotten into your system.

Can amoeba cause hypothyroidism?

I have not seen it myself, but it is the belief of some people in natural health that it can be a trigger through molecular mimicry. Although, I have been looking for studies on it. (I was looking for such studies, when I found this question). It may be that such studies have not been done, but that doesn't mean practitioners clinical experience is useless. I would add, that the triggering of auto-immune disease through molecular mimicry in general is more established (at least in research, although conventional medicine doesn't care about it now). Poor GI health, IBS, dysbisosis and low secretory IgA is common in auto-immune disease and should be corrected as a possible underlining trigger. If non-ai hypothyroidism, this should still be corrected as a stress on the body. Either case, yes, it may be implicated, as the body may adapt to increase stress by lowering metabolic rate (and hence - thyroid hormone).

Does starving work for everyone including hypothyroid people who take synthroid?

Does it work for what? I can't think of any reason starving is a good idea.

Any change in weight when taking a thyroid medication will mean that you need to adjust the doseage. Not that you shouldn't try to lose weight if you are over-weight but, keep in mind that you will need to work with your doctor and lose weight at a reasonable pace to keep your thyroid problem in check.

Like the first poster, I don't understand, for what?

Starving is certainly not a good idea for anyone in anycase.
