We think that when someone has an autoimmune issue that there’s nothing more to be done. That is not the case. Even when autoimmunity is there, something always CAN be done.
Realizing that there are options other than taking medications and living with autoimmunity improves your mindset and emotions. What can be done?
It depends on the case but let’s read about a recent case of hyperthyroidism which is being reversed. A case of reversing autoimmunity in the thyroid.
Reversing Autoimmunity in the Thyroid
The lady developed overactive thyroid which affected her heart rhythm. The heart rhythm went off and the heart wasn’t working well so she had to be hospitalized. Medications were started to help slow the thyroid but it was very difficult to control the thyroid.
I saw her and realized that there were infection issues of covid causing the autoimmunity. While the thyroid doctor gave her medications to slow down the thyroid, I worked on decreasing the covid infection so that there would be less autoimmunity.
Over time reducing the thyroid antibodies lessened her need for medications.. Her heart rhythm went back to normal and she had more energy to live her life.
So reversing thyroid antibodies is possible. Look at the graphic above and see how the thyroid antibodies have been going down. Initially her case was one the thyroid doctor one of the most toughest cases he had ever seen then it became more and more manageable.
Initially there was discussion of thyroid surgery and getting rid of the thyroid. Then there was less talk of that as time went on. Because the thyroid autoimmunity was improving.
If you or someone you know has an autoimmune condition, please Know that reversing autoimmunity is possible.
Common causes of autoimmunity include emotional issues, chemicals in the body, and infections. In this case, Covid played a role in autoimmunity and treating the immune response toward covid lowered the thyroid antibodies. Here’s to less medications!
