Both Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism are caused by the same set of conditions.
I adopted the Weston A. Price type diet in the early 1990's. This diet is rich is animal fats, which are rich in cholesterol. Cholesterol depletes iodine from the body. This does not make cholesterol bad, it is merely the consequence of consuming it.
No where in my nutrition training in the late
1980's was I made aware of the need for a whole body sufficient dosage of iodine and potassium iodide. Instead, from all my readings I gathered that there was sufficient amounts of iodine in the diet, when you used seafood in your diet. Which I did. However, what I learned many years later, was that the amount I was getting on a daily basis was far below what my body required. I was not eating seafood or seaweed daily. In fact I might eat 1 piece of salmon 1x per month.
I went
on eating this way for the next 19 years. On the Weston A. Price type diet or the Aajonus Vonderplanitz, raw meat and raw dairy diet, you are encouraged to eat generous amounts of animal fat. I ate generous amounts of raw butter, raw eggs, soft boiled eggs, meat fats and whole raw milk. These high cholesterol foods, depleted my body of iodine.
The recommended daily allowance of iodine in the uSA is 150 micrograms. That is only .15 milligrams. The Japanese consume lots of
seafood and seaweed and on average consume 13.88 mg per day of iodine and iodide in their diet. They have a much lower incidence of breast and prostate cancer compared to Americans.
According to Dr. Guy Abraham, when the body is chronically deficient in iodine, then it produces extra thyroid cells. It does this in an effort to increase the blood supply to your thyroid gland and therefore increase the likelihood of getting some iodine supplied to your thyroid
gland.
These extra thyroid cells are abnormal in function and can result in hypo or hyperthyroidism. I believe that these abnormal thyroid cells look abnormal to your immune system and then your immune system starts to attack your thyroid gland.
The reason I believe this is because when I took the combination of certain supplements, I was healed of my hyperthyroid condition in 9 months. This was after spending the previous 5.5 years seeing health care
professionals, watching a doc-series on thyroid health, buying expensive technologies that did not help, being told I needed to irradiate my thyroid gland, which is to say, kill it.
None of the recommended solutions that I read about, watched online or learned from a healthcare professional worked, because none of them were addressing the cause of both hyper and hypothyroidism.
You see the immune system is not malfunctioning when it attacks your
tissues. In the case of the autoimmune hypo or hyperthyroidism, the reason the thyroid gland looks foreign to your immune system is because your thyroid gland has grown extra and abnormal thyroid cells to compensate for the chronic deficiency of iodine.
In short by taking a combination of supplements and avoiding foods I reacted to, I was able to heal from an autoimmune hyperthyroid condition.
This same formula was recommended to several female clients and
two of them have gotten back to me and reported their results.
The high incidence of hypothyroidism in so many women in America today can never be properly addressed with thyroid hormones. Instead you only feel your best when your body's make the thyroid hormone itself and regulates the levels according to nutrients supplied and expenditure of energy.
I offer consultations that can lead you to heal 100% from any thyroid challenge.
