Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism, Most Successful is Natural Cure
90
The thyroid gland is small endocrine gland located in the front of the wind pipe in the throat.
It produces the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)which increase cellular metabolism as well as other functions.such as our heart rate, how quickly we burn calories, digestion etc Babies and children need adequate amounts of thyroid hormones for brain development and growth.
The amount of thyroid hormones secreted is controlled by another hormone, called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from the pituitary gland in your head.
Hormones of thyroid gland T3/T4 are regulating:
Basal Metabolism :
- increases basal metabolic rate
- increases body temp (calorigenesis)
- increases appetite
Carbohydrate, lipid & protein Metabolism :
- promotes glucose catabolism for energy
- stimulates protein synthesis
- increases lipolysis
- enhances cholesterol excretion in bile
Heart:
- promotes normal cardiac function
Nervous System:
- promotes normal neuronal development in fetus and infant
- promotes normal neuronal function in adult
- enhances effects of sympathetic nervous system
Musculoskeletal :
- promotes normal body growth and maturation of skeleton
- promotes normal function and development of muscles
Reproductive:
- promotes normal female reproductive ability and lactation
As we can see, it is extremely important to have healthy thyroid gland, if not, hormonal imbalance causes real chaos in the body and in the mind.
Thyroid hormone regulation--the chain of command
The thyroid itself is regulated by another gland located in the brain, called the pituitary. In turn, the pituitary is regulated in part by thyroid hormone that is circulating in the blood (a "feedback" effect of thyroid hormone on the pituitary gland) and in part by another gland called the hypothalamus, also a part of the brain.
The hypothalamus releases a hormone called thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), which sends a signal to the pituitary to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TS). In turn, TSH sends a signal to the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. If overactivity of any of these three glands occurs, an excessive amount of thyroid hormones can be produced, thereby resulting in hyperthyroidism.
Hypothalamus - TRHPituitary- TSHThyroid- T4 and T3
The rate of thyroid hormone production is controlled by the pituitary gland. If there is an insufficient amount of thyroid hormone circulating in the body to allow for normal functioning, the release of TSH is increased by the pituitary in an attempt to stimulate the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormone. In contrast, when there is an excessive amount of circulating thyroid hormone, the release of TSH is reduced as the pituitary attempts to decrease the production of thyroid hormone.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which an overactive thyroid gland is producing an excessive amount of thyroid hormones that circulate in the blood.
Thyroid hormones stimulate the metabolism of cells. The thyroid gland removes iodine from the blood (which comes mostly from a diet of foods such as seafood, bread, and salt) and uses it to produce thyroid hormones.
The symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include:
- enlarged thyroid gland
- nervousness
- mental impairment, memory lapses, diminished attention span
- a lot of fears
- depression
- mood swings
- irritability, angryness, agressive behaviour
- trembling hands
- fatigue
- insomnia or need for extremely lot of sleep
- diarrhea
- itchy skin
- unexplained weight loss despite increased appetite
- heart palpitations
- heat intolerance
- increased sweating
- muscle weakness
- hair loss
- increase in bowel movements
- decrease in menstrual periods
- eye irritation
Treatments of classical medicine for hyperthyroidism-
There are 3 ways of treatments classical medicine uses for hyperactive thyroid:
1.Anththyroid drugs
There are two main antithyroid drugs available for use in the United States, methimazole (Tapazole) (in my country is Athyrazol) and propylthiouracil ( PTU). These drugs accumulate in the thyroid tissue and block production of thyroid hormones. PTU also blocks the conversion of T4 hormone to the more metabolically active T3 hormone. The major risk of these medications is occasional suppression of production of white blood cells by the bone marrow (agranulocytosis). (White cells are needed to fight infection.)
Side effects of the antithyroid drugs are:
Major adverse reactions (which occur with much less frequency than the minor adverse reactions) include inhibition of myelopoieses (agranulocytosis, granulocy-topenia, and thrombocytopenia), aplastic anemia, drug fever, a lupuslike syndrome, insulin autoimmune syndrome (which can result in hypoglycemic coma), hepatitis ,etc...Minor adverse reactions include skin rash, urticaria, nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, arthralgia, paresthesia, loss of taste, abnormal loss of hair, myalgia, headache, pruritus, drowsiness, neuritis, edema, vertigo, skin pigmentation, jaundice, sialadenopathy, and lymphadenopathy.
If someone is taking drugs in healing the hyperthyroidism, it is not recommended to gett pregnant, while being on drugs. Drugs are affecting baby`s body system as well,through the placenta, and is high possibility of many disorders in fetus. It is recommended to heal thyroid gland at first, then to plan to have the baby.
2.Treatment with radioactive iodine
Unfortunately, radioactive iodine (Radioiodine)is the most widely recommended permanent treatment of hyperthyroidism. This treatment was first time used 50 years ago and takes advantage of the fact that thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which have the ability to absorb iodine. In fact, thyroid hormones are experts at doing just that. By giving a radioactive form of iodine (131Iodine) gives off a poisonous type of radiation, the thyroid cells which absorb it, will be damaged or killed. Because iodine is not concentrated by any other cells in the body, there is very little radiation exposure (or side effects!) for the rest of the body. Actually the aim of this treatment is to cause permanent hypothyiroidism. Which needs to be "healed" -with artificial hormones again. The vicious circle goes again. No actual healing, just suffering. Radioiodine treatment kellse healthy cells of thyroid gland, killed thyroid as such. And as any radioactive element - can cause development of tumors and cancer, anywhere in the body.The primary risk from exposure to high levels of 131I is the chance occurrence of radiogenicc thyroid cancer in later life. Other risks include the possibility of non-cancerous growths and thyroiditis (Hashimoto`s).
Medicine says that only thyroid absorbs radioactive iodine, so someone who goes on the treatment is protected from radioactivity, and that is not truth: radioactivity is an energy, when you apply it to iodine, this radioactive energy will not be obedient and politely stay only on iodine, just because some doctors say so, it will do what is in its nature: it will spread its negative influence on every cell in the body. This type of treatment is based on the fact, that thyroid gland and thyroid cells are absorbing huge amount of any kind of radioactivity, actually they are just more capable of absorbing radioactivity then any other cells in the body. After nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, there is much more cancer of thyroid gland developed in former Soviet Union, especially in Ukraine, and very often that affects young people.
The scientific fact is also that whole Europe and the rest of the world suffered a lot because of that disaster, and in last 20 years is much more problems with thyroid gland developed then ever before, in my country as well. It is very rare that someone has thyroid gland in permanently healthy condition. That is because thyroid gland has high capability to store radioactivity, it is not only connected with iodine only , then with radioactivity as such.
Within the USA, the highest 131Iodine fallout doses occurred during the 1950s and early 1960s to children who consumed fresh sources of milk contaminated as the result of above ground testing of nuclear weapons. The National Cancer Institute provides additional information on the health effects from exposure to 131Iodine in fallout,[2] as well as individualized estimates, for those born before 1971, for each of the 3070 counties in the USA from the nuclear weapons tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site.
3.Surgery
Surgery to partially remove the thyroid gland (partial thyroidectomy) was once a common form of treatment for hyperthyroidism. The goal is to remove the thyroid tissue that was producing the excessive thyroid hormone. However, if too much tissue is removed, an inadequate production of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) may result. In this case, thyroid replacement therapy is begun. The major complication of surgery is disruption of four tiny glands in the neck that regulate calcium levels in the body (the parathyroid glands). Accidental removal of these glands may result in low calcium levels and require calcium replacement therapy.
Usually, whoever goes on thyroidectomy, has to use thyroid replacement therapy afterwards, because surgery causes hypothyroidism. If thyroid gland is to swollen and full of polyps, it hay to be completely removed, with all cause effects afterwards.
Removing thyroid gland is horrible experience for most of people, because it affects all above mentioned functions of body systems and organs. Artificial hormones cannot solve the problem (it is very difficult to prescribe right dosage,because glands are using body intelligence in producing the hormones and they are checking real needs of the body, drugs cannot do the same) pituitary gland also gets confused, send confused and wrong signals to the other endocrine glands as well, and most often result is complete hormonal imbalance again, which is killing the health of the body.
Hyperthyroidism and pregnancy
During pregnancy, the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is produced. HCG is the hormone that "pregnancy tests" detect. HCG increases to a peak at around 12 weeks. It has mild thyroid stimulating effects and, as a result, can cause some symptoms of hyperthyroidism. HCG is in part responsible for the nausea during the first trimester. In situations of multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets) HCG levels are even higher, and symptoms can be more pronounced. Temporary hyperthyroidism occurs in 10-20% of normal pregnant women during this period, and these women typically do not require treatment.
But whe someone already has hyperthyroidism, HCG can produce much bigger problems to mother and the child.
Pregnancies complicated by uncontrolled hyperthyroidism may result in higher incidences of:
- Spontaneous abortion
- Preterm labor
- Low birth-weight babies
- Complications of pregnancy, including pre-eclampsia (a condition associated with hypertension, low blood platelet count, protein in the urine and mental changes) and heart failure.
In the beginning of having hyperthyroidism, it can happen that body heales itself and attain complete hormonal balance (I know one case), but if hyperthyroidism persist for longer period, pregnancy is very big risk, especially for heart of the mother wich is excausted of often tachycardia symptomes. Using the drugs for tachycardia, can make many problems to fetus. There is no drug wich is completely harmless for baby.
During the pregnancy, it is forbidden to use radioactive iodine. Surgery is causing hypothyroidism, wich has to be healed with Euthyrox /hormonal supplement for thyroid hormones), wich is problematic for fetus/baby again, as well as for mother, because of many side effects, which are very alike to hyperthyroidism.
Offical medicine do not recommend pregnancy, while having overactive thyroid gland.
Alternative medicine recommends to heal thyroid gland, causes of thyroid hyperactivity as well as hearth and immune and nervous system at first and then to get pregnant. In case pregnancy already occured, we would heal the mother and the child on natural ways.
Alternative healing - Homeopathic Remedies & my experience
Usually, it is very easy to heal endocrine glands by using natural ways of healing. They respond very quickly on natural healing methods (Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, menopause and lack of estrogen and progesterone hormones, problems with periods, adrenal glands...etc). Classical medicine cannot heal them with its aggressive methods of healing, and endocrine glands need gentle and natural ways, which support their natural activities. They produce hormones - (hormones = feelings) that is the reason we have to be extremely tender with endocrine glands, not to force them in any way with drugs, radioactivity or remove them with surgery. Usually, aggressive methods are creating even higher level of hormonal imbalance, uncontrolled chaos in organism, which is resulting with much bigger illnesses of physical body, as well as psychological ones !
Average cause of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism is stressful life.
Hyperthyroidism is autoimmune disease, a misdirected immune response that occurs when the immune system attacks the body itself, instead of defending the healthy state.
I have had hyperactive thyroid gland for many (more then 10) years with following symptoms:
chronic fatigue syndrome, nervousness, fears, tachycardia - very often painful (I healed that at first with auto-Reiki treatments), quick changing the moods (negativity, big anger even the hate "out of the blue sky"), sometimes increased sweating. I usually needed nor less then 10-12 hours of sleep per day. Whenever I had opportunity, I was able to stay in deep sleep for over 20 hours.
When I found out that causes of these symptoms is overactive thyroid gland, I prepared to myself homeopathic remedies which I was regularly taking (almost every day) for aprox. 1 year:
1. Anti stress remedy
(Kali Phosphate, Passiflora, Sumbul, Valeriana, Avena Sat, Coffea, Ignatia) This was calming and healing my nervous system, so I did not react on non-existing or real stressful conditions with panic or anger, I was able to react peacefully, with patience, love and understanding. I started to vibrate different towards people, so they did not want to attack me or argue with me any more, nor I with them (what was occurring before, because of overactive hormones of thyroid).
2. Anti hyperthyroid remedy - for soothing its over-activity
Combination of remedies that calms overactive thyroid gland and helps attaining normal production of thyroid hormones. (first results are shown in few days on laboratory tests, but one can feel completely different in just few hours after first taken dose .Later on, people can feel difference few seconds after taking the remedy.)
3.Against heart palpation and for regeneration the heart
4. For immune system
-
Part of homeopathic therapy is based on the fact that all our organs and body systems have their own vibration, if that one is disrupted, we must to "remind" them on healthy vibration, and they will naturally accept it. Actually every our organ or body system prefers to be in healthy vibrational state. After reminding it on that healthy state, self-healing process begins, and healthy state completely returns after some time.
Usually it takes 3-12 months for complete healing overactive thyroid gland with homeopathic remedies.
After some time, when hormonal balance is permanently attained, there is no need for taking remedies any more (only sometimes, in cases of big stress).

Hypoactive thyroid gland
Thyroid becomes hypoactive because of various reasons, f.E as lack of iodine in the food, exposure to radiation or some chemicals, it also slows down as autoimmune reaction of the body.
Very often reason for slowing down thyroid is imbalance of sexual hormones or dropping down of sexual hormones in middle age.
There are herbal remedies that successfully activate thyroid gland and also help pituarity gland to be active for sufficient TSH production.
One of such remedies is Thyroid Assist,
Thyroid Assist Benefits:
- Supports pituitary gland production of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Maintains T3 & T4 levels already within normal range
- Promotes a balanced endocrine system
- Improves energy levels
- Maintains balanced metabolism and healthy weight
- Supports other functions of endocrine system for healthy emotions, fertility, growth & temperature
- Ingredients:Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosis) is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine – an ingredient that can greatly aid thyroid support, Green Oats (Avena sativa) that improves vital energy and also boosts sexual power, Makandi (Coleus forskohlii), ayurvedic herb that supports thyroid function.
This remedy works great in combination with remedy Fatigue Figther, which ingredients (Siberian Ginseng, Gotu Kola, Olive Leaf) help addionally boosting the thyroid, overal stamina, improve immunity and significantly increase energy levels. This combination also helps to achieve balanced weight, what is very often problem with hypoactive thyroid. Fatigue Fighter also help people with slugish thyroid to increase again brain power.

.
Diet and Thyroid Gland
DIET AND THYROID GLAND
Thyroid health can also be supported by a healthy diet, but do not expect to heal it with diet only..It is NOT so simple! Certain foods are high in iodine (e.g. seaweed, sushi) and would benefit those with a sluggish thyroid. Others (cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower) contain natural thyroid blockers and would benefit those whose thyroids needed some slowing down.
If you have hyperactive thyroid, strictly avoid the following herbs, as they may stimulate hyperthyroidism: ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera ) and bladderwrack ( Fucus vesiculosus ). Also avoid stimulating herbs such as gotu kola ( Centella asiatica ), ephedra, caffeinated green tea products, and Chinese or Korean ginseng ( Panax ginseng ) .

I read it and forgot to comment and THANK YOU>>>PLEASE FORGIVE ME !!!!!
Great Hub Your humble servant Mike:0)
YOUR ARE SO WELCOME!!!!!! Mike :0)
EXCELLENT AND AMAZING
A great Hub and thanks for the research and effort you have put into it. I am grateful for the info on thyroid problems!
Love and peace,
Tony
Excellent informative hub.
Hi Tatjana,
Thank you so much for this hub! I recently had a blood work done with, and the results was T4=26.0, TSH=0.012, T3 Uptake= 43, T3 Uptake Free Thyroxine=11.2, Triiodothyronine=795. Do you know of any Homeopathic and Naturopathic doctors located in Atlanta, GA or Ft. Lauderdale, FL? Thanks Again!
My mother, and grand mother have hyper thyroid, and I was told I should be tested for it, also, as it is hereditary. I know they both pay a lot of money each month for prescriptions, and I was wondering if they could get away with taking natural herbs, also, to save them some money...
Hi,
It's so refreshing to see a forum with positive thoughts and feedback.
I have looked on several and they were so depressing and I thought maybe all the forums were like this until now.
I would ask however have you been able to rid yourself of your thyroid condition?
I am determined to do so myself :-)
Thanks again everyone for your positive messages.
I have a overactive thyroid
i have hyperthyroid with hashimtoto graves disease i am 16 years old please help.
Thnaks for this informative hub!!
dori
I have NO thyroid! It was removed in 2006 as it was covered in large tumours, was 9cm across and the weight of it had dropped into my chest cavity and was compacting my trachea and suffocating me to death. I have to take thyroxine every day but am really struggling as my blood levels are in the normal range, but my teeth and nails are becoming brittle, fatigue, bladder infections, high blood pressure and swollenlegs and feet. Doctors here don't have a clue so will be seeing an endocrinologist when I go back home.
Your website and information are very interesting. Do you think that my twenty year old daughter will be able to heal a thyoid nodule without surgery. She has had it for eight years and we have tried many different methods of alternative healing without success. The growth is large and on her right side and it was diagnosed as a hot nodule producing too much thyroid hormone. Believe it or not her health is very good and she is active although she sometimes gets a racing heart. I am so afraid for her to have surgery because this gland is so important to her body. She is very embarrassed about it and always wears high collared shirts and sweaters. Do you think there is any hope for this to dissolve without surgery? Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. We have tried homeopathy, chinese herbs, western herbs, energy healing (photos put under a tray which sent healing frequencies) vitamins, noni juice,hypnosis, tapping, rubbing iodine on the thyroid. When she has the racing heart, I give her liquid magnesium which helps to slow it down. Any advice would be so much appreciated as I am getting desperate for my daughter. By the way, we eat only organic foods and have a good diet.
Oops, I forgot. My husband has multiple sclerosis and I have an aunt who had an overactive thyroid and had it removed many years ago. She is seventy now. I think my dad had a relative with thyroid problems.
Hi,
I have hyperthyroidism and am due to see a specialist due to an irregular heartbeat, after a test done my GP. My GP did say that possible treatments are radioactive iodine, surgery or continue with my current medication - carbimazole. Having read about the first two treatments, I'm reluctant to go for them as they would reduce my chance of trying for a baby. At the same time, I had an op to remove an ovarian cyst when I was 3 month's pregnant with my first child. What's your opinion?
Wow-that was great. Thanks for a very good hub about something I had been researching for a while. Everything in one place.
I have an underactive thyroid. Been on medication for 5 years, still feel sluggish and gaining weight. Since diagnosis I am 40 kilograms heavier!
Interested in the natural way. Is it possible to heal thyroid after so long?
Hi, Tatjana, I was really interested to read this hub. I was diagnosed with hyper thyroid back in 2003, and it had got very very high. The doctor told me to go home and stay there as it had got to dangerous levels. The Dr. gave me carbamazole, and I was so ill. My muscles in my body got very very painful, they called it mialga but it felt like I had been run over. After reading a book about it I went to the doc again and said I know now it is the tablets doing it. The Dr. just looked bewildered. but changed my tablets. I was really annoyed, they should have told me Carbamazole was dangerous. The Dr. did'nt know anything. Then I had the radiation tablet, which was'nt a problem. Now my thyroid is too low and I have to take thyroxine. I Take vitamins, but the one thing you have to be careful of is not to take any vitamin tablets with iodine in it. Always check because thyroxine is iodine based, and it can make your thyroid go high again. It took me about a year to get sorted out, and touch wood, now it is fine. Thanks again Nell
Good heavens - you REALLY did a textbook study and the pics are wonderful! You could probably teach a class on line about this - great hub! Audrey
I was diagnosed with hypothyroid a few months after radiation therapy (for breast cancer) ended. Istarted taking Synthroid and my levels normalized, but I'm not losing weight. I'm not gaining anymore eitherm which is good, but I need to lose weight - can I double up on my Synthroid to help get my thyroid activated to lose weight faster? Also, my Dr says I have Hashimotos but I'm not sure I do - he didn't tell me how or why he knows I have Hashimotos....any ideas?
I have Hyperthyroid & im now on my 3rd medicine and my numbers are worse. My 1st doctors appointment was November 2009 & nothing has worked so far. Pleas Help?
I was diagnosed with multi thyroid nodules in 2003 and had various different tests but the thyroid function was normal. I had blood tests every 6 months to test the function. Then at the end of March 2010 my thyroid became overactive and the right nodule has grown considerablly. I have now been told that surgery is the only option.
I am terrified I have two young daughters and do not want to be functioning with tablets for the rest of my life.
I'm an Aromatherapist and have always used alternatives.
Please help, I feel like time is running out and I do not like being on carbimazole.
Is their any possibility these nodules can be shrunk with alternatives and diet so my thyroid function returns to normal
This great hub is highly informative - as are your replies to people's comments and questions. I particularly appreciated your answer to Cathy who was seeking healing for her 20 year-old daughter, in which you asked a quetion alomng the lines of "Does she want to be, belive she can be, healed."
I could not agree more with Tatjana. Healing should be more than just following the medical routine but should be more of embracing the attitude of wellness and getting better.
Honor & Blessings to you Tatjana-Mihaela
I have a Hyper-Active Thyroid that has plagued me for awhile now. Is it possible that you can help me, or give me instructions on what to do.
Ty blessings to you.
Dear Tatjana,
how do you stop hair loss, which is caused by hyperactive thyroid, and/or excess androgens?
Kind Regards,
Justina
Cool, I have found some cool information for my site here!
Hello Tatjana, I read your article and felt great. I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism (about 2 years). I was taking livothyroxin .50 mcg daily and since last 9 months i have tried following homeopathy medicines.
1. Lycopodium 200 for 3 months (once a month)
2. Baryta-Carb 200 (once eery 4 days)
I am checking TSH every 3rd month. Initially when i started Lycopodium the results were good. But later TSH was growing and now is 6.58. Please suggest me any homeopathy / natural remedy. Thank you so much.
Regards
Deepak
Being involved in the use of natural therapy I really love what you have put on this Hub. I believe that modern medicine has become much too complicated people jump too quickly to what they believe to be the Best treatment advised by their doctors. I don't recommend people totally ignore their doctor's advice, but I suggest people should try some more natural methods of healing, especially when the modern treatments are sometimes so extreme.
Natural healing methods will not work for everyone, but my suggestion is try it, and if it doesn't work for you try something else.
Many people are coming to terms that Natural Medicine works and more and more people are even combining modern treatments with natural treatments. I guess it's a bit like having a bet each way.
More information like this Hub will hopefully influence people to give natural methods a try.
Sorry to go on, but am very passionate about this topic, well done Tatjana
I am from the Philippines. I have nodular goiter since 2001 as discovered by my OB-Gyne 4 months after giving birth. I took levothyroxine for almost 5 years but the nodules are still here. I tried some herbal preparations as recommended by friends but no effect. I don't want to be operated and remove my thyroid gland because I know these are important for me to live. Please tell me what to do to completely eliminate these 3 nodules according to the ultrasound. One increases its size while the two remain unnoticed. Please help. Thank you so much.
I do not know much about hypothroiddism ( hope I spelled it right?! ) but someone I know has got it so I was just reading up a bit...
Is it something that is genetic and can you pass it on to someone else?
I will forward this to him in any case! Thanks lots! :-)

Hey there! great article. It's just now that I noticed stress as a big factor why people develop thyroid problems..
My dad has a Hyperthyroidism and his mood swings and emotional outbursts are just extreme. I don't know exactly what meds he use as maintenance but surely would love to find other effective ways. I don't want to see him like that. :/
Hi i'm a 22yr old paramedic frm india.. i'd been diagnosed with hypothyroidism 1yr back n been on meds till 2 months back.. i jus discontinued it myself.. will there b any side-effects bcoz of it..? n whether can i start with natural remedies or any other alternate therpy now..?
Hello, I am trying to keep my chin up as this is new to me. I am pleased to see a positive outlook on healing.... as western medicine is not sufficiently answering my questions. I found a lump in my thyroid and did bloodwork and my T3/4; only 1 of them was slightly high. The byopsy indicated atypical "abnormal" cells (not cancerous as the DR informed me) and the ultrasound picked up a 1.3cm nodule. The specialist said that "they" don't look into these things until they are 2 cm big and to go back in 6 months..... he put a scope down my throat and said the vocal cords looked fine... but I can not accept that I just have to wait for it to grow until surgery... it's not hypo or hyper... I have been researching aromatherapy, healing gems, posiitive visualizations, and reiki for 2 weeks now... any other options? herbs? It's only been a short time but it still seems the same.... and I want to be well... Please and Thanks!
Hi and thanks for your site. I am a health care practitioner and have my own issues now too! I've never been able to even get a diagnosis all these years (struggled with something they thought was Lupus) and now am seeing the correlation with thyroid (hyper some of the time/hypo some of the time.) I found an article yesterday also on line talking about people vacillating back and forth from hypo to hyper.. can that be so? No wonder I have symptoms from each list! The 'events' worsen as I get older (just turned 59) however, I believe the body is waiting for the right information and the right remedy at all times to find its cure, its homeostasis. It keeps me searching. It is totally possible to heal completely. I was delighted at your mention about calcium... as this one little mystery as to why my legs/ calves ache when I get into this 'state'... must have something to do with lack of use of calcium .. so thank you for that. one thing for people to know too, I think is important, is all the use of soy products is NOT a good thing. It is very disruptive for the thyroid.. and it is in so many things. (not to mention so much of it is GMO'd either on purpose or accidentally). Ok, I've blabbed enough.. when my funds come back to the top, I plan to consult with you. Sure will make me enjoy working with my own clients when I get my life, my body back. adieu, thanks.. t
I came across this article and didn't realize how common this was. Thanks for all the info
I HAVE A NODULE AND IT IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME TO BE HYPER... IT HAS GIVEN ME SEVERE ANXIETY.. HOWEVER I AM WONDERING IF IT IS GIVING ME MUSCLE SPASMS OR SOMETHING ON MY RIGHT SIDE OF MY NECK INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND ALSO RUNNING DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY COLLAR BONE... IM NERVOUS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF THIS BECUASE I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS RELATED TO MY THYROID NODULE ON MY RIGHT LOBE OR NOT. .IT IS A HOT NODULE AND BENIGN. MY HAIR TENDS TO FALL OUT VERY EASILY AS WELL.. WHICH AGAIN... FREAKS ME OUT.. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS ANYTHING THAT EVEN SOUNDS COMMON TO YOU?! I AM A 26 YEAR OLD FEMALE.. THE PAIN IN MY RIGHT SIDE NECK IS THERE EVERYDAY.. SOME DAYS IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE A SLIGHT EAR ACHE ON MY RIGHT SIDE.. MY JAW DOES POP IN AND OUT OF PLACE ON THAT SIDE THOUGH.. BUT I JUST GET SICK WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL THIS. I JUST WISH IT WASNT HAPPENING TO ME. IT MAKES ME VERY SAD. I JUST WISH I KNEW I COULD BE HEALED AND BACK TO NORMAL AS I HAVE 4 PRECIOUS BABIES TO TEND TO AND ONE LOVING HUSBAND! PLEASE HELP ME OUT ON THIS IF YOU CAN. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

lovely article... I did not read through every comment here but I am looking for a natural therapy for nodules on thyroid gland to prevent surgery???
Hi, I 've had hyperthyroidism since 03. I stopped medication in 2010 as doctor requests. My blood test has been normal until last month. I started to feel fast heart beat, afraid of heat and lost weight. I suspect I am having hyperthyroidism again. A natural method to heal is very attractive to me. If I take thyroSoothe, am I suppose to take it for the rest of my life?
Thyromine reviews says that it is very helpful for those women who want to lose their weight as well as want to control their cholesterol . It is an herbal product that can be easily purchased on-line.
