Natural Remedies For Overactive Thyroid

Posted on February 6, 2018 by Curing eczema the natural way without steroids

Are there really natural remedies for overactive thyroid? Also known as hyperthyroidism, 2 in every 100 women and 2 in every 1,000 men develop some type of hyperthyroidism in their lifetime. I thought natural remedies for overactive thyroid should be in the forefront of therapies only if they present fewer side effects and should be less expensive than most prescription medications.

Of course, I discovered the first step is to consider diet – the food that you eat. I found out that cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, collard greens, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. contain natural thyroid blockers and would benefit those of us whose thyroids needed some slowing down. And not surprisingly, cooking cruciferous vegetables 30 minutes or longer can drastically reduce their suppressing capability. So, don’t cook them to a mush!

Now, I also thought I should reduce the amount of (iodized) salt I was eating! Some more research showed that I was probably eating almost TWICE as much salt as I needed, so I changed to non-iodized salt and reduced my intake too.

While researching natural remedies for overactive thyroid and diet I discovered a very helpful book reviewed by Dr. Scott Saunders, MD of Lompoc, CA. I really thought highly of this book when I learned that self-directed remedies of severe hyperthyroidism or Graves’ disease are not recommended. This book tells what to eat and what NOT to eat for an overactive thyroid. If you have severe hyperthyroidism definitely see your health care professional to monitor thyroid function to prevent complications.

The “icing on the cake” for moderate hyperthyroidism is ThyroSoothe. A safe, all-natural way to treat your overactive thyroid. ThyroSoothe has been thoroughly researched and used effectively. It has been proven to help maintain thyroid function, and support the endocrine system. Studies suggest that an ingredient, Bugleweed, may reduce thyroid hormone by decreasing levels of TSH (the hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland) and by impairing thyroid hormone synthesis. Lemon balm is included because of studies of its ability to block the action of thyroid-stimulating antibodies found in Grave’s disease. Motherwort (Leonurus cardica) was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to treat heart palpitations as well as depression. Recently, Germany’s Commission E (the herbal regulating body in Germany) authorized the use of motherwort as part of an overall treatment plan for hyperthyroidism — an overactive thyroid.

Many people tend not to realize the importance of thyroid functions until it is too late. Follow the simple change in diet from Graves’ Disease and Hyperthyroidism, and if needed, ThyroSoothe, a natural remedy for overactive thyroid, to support the normal functions of a healthy thyroid. Always check with your professional medical practitioner before beginning any natural supplement for thyroid problems.

Salutations!
This is Peter R. I lacked energy to do so many things which resulted in a noticeable weight gain. Well, after some self-therapy and a doctor’s visit I found out I had a mild case of UNDERactive thyroid.
A couple of possible medications were expensive and I really did NOT like the possible side effects. I checked with a health care professional and was surprised at what she mentioned. I just had to share! P.S. I’ve lost 16 pounds so far! For more information on Thyroid remedies (and sometimes my personal opinions of some of them) check this out

Natural Remedies For Thyroid

A lot of people are affected with disease related to thyroid. The lack of this hormone and the excess of this hormone can cause disease. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are the main disease affected due to thyroid. It is estimated that about fifty-eight million people in the world are affected with diseases related to thyroid. The first thing we will talk about is Hashimotos Thyroiditis, This is a condition that is grossly under diagnosed in this country, I have read estimates that show this condition effecting 1/2 of diagnosed hypothyroid condition.

The way that hypothyroidism is related to chronic fatigue syndrome is the following: when the adrenals become stressed out, it puts the body in a state of catabolism. This means the body is breaking down. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid, a tiny gland situated at the base of the throat is not producing enough thyroid hormones needed for metabolic activities in the body

To reduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism and also to keep your weight in check, you should eat a diet that is high in fibers. Fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables are high in minerals and fibers, so eat them regularly. During pregnancy a woman’s thyroid hormones take on newfound importance. For the first 10-12 weeks of gestation, the developing baby depends solely on its mother’s production of thyroid hormone to meet its developmental needs.

Hypothyroidism can make you obese. Research before you order any product. Go in for products with customer reviews as it can help you get the best product for the condition that you are suffering from. Selenium occurs naturally in the soil, therefore crops will absorb it and transfer it into a form that the human body can use. The form that is most easily absorbed and stored by the body is L-selenomethionine. The main natural remedy for hypothyroidism is the food and drink that you take everyday.

Ensure that you eat food that are very rich in iodine, this is a trace element needed for thyroid gland to function properly. Some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism include depression, weight gain,. Cold intolerance, abnormal menstrual cycle, low sex drive, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, memory loss, and muscle fatigue. A number of medical signs can appear in a patient as thyroid symptoms. These can vary based upon the type of thyroid condition the patient has, as well as other issues. Two popular types of natural remedies for the treatment of low thyroid, also called hypothyroidism, include taking natural supplements and a thyroid diet.

Thyroid is the largest endocrine gland in your body. It is located in the front portion of your neck. This gland secretes a hormone known as thyroid hormones. This hormone helps in varying your body metabolism. Thyroid is a vital organ producing hormones for the proper functioning of the body. It is a growth hormone producing organ. Required amount of iodine is essential for thyroid to produce its hormones. While it is not known how many people with sexual dysfunction have underlying thyroid disease, low libido is a common complaint among people with hypothyroidism.

Oxalic Acid Inflammation linked to Histamine, Thyroid Dysfunction & Hashimoto’s

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Curing eczema the natural way without steroids

I’ve spoken quite a bit about my experiences dealing with and the link between oxalic acid (found in some of the planet’s healthiest foods) and histamine related inflammation. Today it’s time to examine how a build up of oxalic acid found in low histamine foods like almonds, chard, potatoes, brown rice, millet and others, can not only exacerbate histamine inflammation, but also cause or contribute to thyroid dysfunction and Hashimoto’s. Both conditions are a huge and unfortunately seemingly quite common issue in our histamine intolerance and mast cell activation community.

Today’s post comes to you via something that popped up in my Facebook feed from the Thyroid Pharmacist Dr. Izabella Wentz. She began looking into the link when she noticed a number of her thyroid patients experiencing oxalic acid symptoms.

I’ve posted a great deal about the effects of oxalic acid found in plant foods: burning urination (in my case feeling like I’m peeing razor blades), needing to pee a lot, general symptoms of interstitial cystitis, pain during intercourse, kidney stones (I didn’t have stones though) and other troubles, and a general increase in histamine type inflammation.

The easiest way to explain how it works inflammation-wise is to use the bucket analogy: our body is a giant bucket and there’s only so much we can put in it before we spill over into symptoms. For example, if we’re exposed to pet dander, stress, intense exercise, heat or high histamine foods one by one, we may not spill over. Do them all in a day, or a week, and you may experience some uncomfortable inflammation symptoms. But it gets more annoying – let’s say you have too many salicylate rich foods, or histamine foods all at once, you may temporarily experience an inflammatory response (which is nearly identical to, or may actually be histamine related), even if you wouldn’t normally react to salicylate rich or oxalic acid foods. You can read more about all this in my post the Inflammation Bucket and Reacting to Everything? This May Be Why.

Dr. Wentz shared a study that found nearly eighty percent of adults autopsied had oxalate crystals in their thyroid glands. The older they were when they passed, the more likely the find became. A link to Hashimoto’s was made when it was realised that those with this autoimmune condition had a lower incidence of oxalate crystals, especially in their inflamed thyroid gland areas. The study authors concluded that oxalates could play a role in the disorder by causing inflammation that triggers the autoimmune response, resulting in the destruction of both the oxalate crystals and thyroid tissue.

According to Dr. Wentz, oxalate sensitivity should be suspected if you have these symptoms and a thyroid condition like Hashimoto’s or Graves.

Joint pain

General body pain

Burning urination

Burning stools

Symptoms of intestinal permeability (leaky gut)

Depression

Kidney stones

Your doctor can order a test for oxalate build up here.

I wasn’t living in a country where we could get any kind of oxalate testing so I just went ahead and did a modified low histamine diet combined with a low oxalate diet. You can read how I did it and find my food list for that particular adventure in my post The Low Oxalate Low Histamine Diet: The Missing Link?. Many of my more recent recipes like in the Man Food book are low oxalate and I have the Low Oxalate Cookbook which was my first foray into that world.

The best resource to find more information on the Hashimoto’s oxalate link seems to be Dr. Wentz’s website (that I’m aware of).

It’s finally here! Man Food – a high nutrient antihistamine and anti-inflammatory ingredient filled book geared towards guys, women who love to work out, yoga like they mean it, or just load up on healing nutrients. Features my personal shopping list of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory foods.

The Anti-cookbook and all liquid Anti-Detox Book, don’t treat any conditions, but feature a plethora of the high nutrient antihistamine and anti-inflammatory ingredients that have been instrumental in helping me feed myself on a limited diet. The Anti-cookbook features a four page list of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory foods and comes in regular and Paleo.

The Low Oxalate Cookbook features antihistamine and anti-inflammatory rich recipes.
