Natural Cure For Hashimoto’s Disease

Overview

A disorder that affects the thyroid, Hashimoto’s disease is also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. Sufferers of the illness will find that their immune system attacks the thyroid gland, with the resulting inflammation often leading to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).

Hashimoto’s disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the US; it primarily affects middle-aged women but can also occur in men and women of any age, as well as in children.

Symptoms

Generally, symptoms of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis resemble those of hypothyroidism and are often subtle. They are not specific (which means they can mimic the symptoms of many other conditions) and are often attributed to aging.

Common symptoms and signs include the following:

Fatigue
Modest weight gain
Depression
Cold intolerance
Excessive sleepiness
Dry skin and hair
Muscle cramps
Increased cholesterol levels
Constipation
Decreased concentration
Swelling of the legs
Vague aches and pains

If the condition becomes more severe, there may be puffiness around the eyes, a drop in body temperature, a slowing of the heart rate, and heart failure.In its most profound form, severe hypothyroidism may lead to a life-threatening coma (myxedema), and in a severely hypothyroid individual, myxedema coma tends to be triggered by severe illness, surgery, stress, or traumatic injury.

Causes

The exact cause of Hashimoto’s Disease is not known. However, many factors are believed to play a part and these include:

Genes – People with Hashimoto’s tend to have family members with thyroid disease or an autoimmune disease.

Excessive iodine – Certain drugs and too much iodine (a trace element required by the body to make thyroid hormones) could trigger the disease in people who are susceptible to it.

Hormones – Affecting about seven times as many women as men, hormones are believed to play a role. Some women who have thyroid problems during the first year after having a baby; although the problem usually goes away, as many as 20% of these women develop Hashimoto’s years later.

Radiation exposure – Exposed radiation may be a result of increased cases of thyroid disease. Those exposed to radiation, including the atomic bombs in Japan, the Chernobyl nuclear accident, and radiation treatment for a form of blood cancer called Hodgkin’s disease may be more at risk.

Diet

For those looking for a healthy thyroid diet, here are some tips which may prove beneficial:

Don’t skip breakfast – Even if it’s just a small breakfast consisting of some quality protein, eating when you wake up is beneficial for those suffering from Hashimoto’s Disease. Try to eat regularly thereafter, too – skipping meals will cause problems with the hormone cortisol, which can eventually lead to adrenal gland problems
Minimize your consumption of refined foods and sugars – Eating foods like this affects the hormones insulin and cortisol, spiking up blood sugar levels which then come crashing down. This causes the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol and if you this routine is repeated over time could lead to conditions such as adrenal fatigue, insulin resistance and even type 2 diabetes.

It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:

Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame

Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.

Do not drink any carbonated beverages.

Avoid all fast food restaurants.

Avoid all canned food.

Eliminate conventional dairy products. The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows. If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.

Avoid conventional beef. The best beef is organic grass fed beef.

Supplements:

Since most people don’t get all of the necessary vitamins and minerals from their diet, it’s a good idea to take one or more quality nutritional supplements if suffering from Hashimoto’s disease.

Selenium and vitamin C are believed to be beneficial for those suffering from Hashimoto’s disease, as discussed in the video featuring supplements (see the video section in this document below).

According to research (including a 1979 study by Hartoma, Sotaniemi and Maattanen entitled “Effect of zinc on some biochemical indices of metabolism”), thyroid hormone levels are lower in people who also have lower blood levels of zinc.

Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day for periods of 4 weeks at a time.
Wholefood supplements are the best way of ensuring your nutritional needs are met. The best we know on the market is Kevin Trudeau’s “KT Daily” product. You can find more details here.
Take an Omega 3 supplement:

What non-prescription and prescription drugs are you taking? Your non-prescription and prescription are partially the reason that you have this illness or disease – you need to get off these medications but do so only under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner.
