What is Hypothyroidism?

The thyroid gland is responsible for the release of the hormones controlling our metabolism. When the thyroid does not function as it is supposed to be, there becomes a hormonal imbalance. It can be due to a deficiency or an excess of hormone production.

Hypothyroidism is when the gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormone, thus, causing imbalance. On the other hand, hyperthyroidism, from the word itself, is when the gland excretes more than enough thyroid hormone, thus, still causing imbalance. It has been always been said that too little or too much of something is not in any way good for our body.

Most Common Causes

Here are some of the most common causes for hypothyroidism:

Iodine deficiency - This has been cited to be the most common culprit for causing hypothyroidism.Thyroid gland inflammation - Inflammation damages the thyroid cells, thus, interfering with its natural capacity of hormone production.Hashimoto's thyroiditis - An autoimmune disease where one's own immune system attacks the thyroid. This results to inflammation, damaging the thyroid cells and interfering with the thyroid's functions that later leads to an under active gland.Postpartum thyroiditis - Usually happens after childbirth when a pregnant woman has history of immune disorders related to the thyroid gland. If the inflammation is not immediately diagnosed, this can also lead to an under active thyroid gland.Congenital hypothyroidism - Some persons are born with an under active thyroid gland. However, this happens rarely.Radiation treatments to the neck.Surgical removal of the thyroid gland.

Most Common Symptoms of a Hypoactive Thyroid Gland

Most of the time, a hypoactive thyroid is not easily detected in a person whose thyroid gland is just starting to malfunction. The symptoms become much more pronounced and noticeable when the hypothyroidism is already at the latter stage.

Let us classify the symptoms into two - the early and the late symptoms. Early symptoms include increased sensitivity to cold or cold intolerance, constipation and low heart rate or bradycardia. While late symptoms may include goiter or the pronounced enlargement of the thyroid gland and more pronounced abnormal menstrual cycles which can lead to infertility.

Why It Can Cause Weight Gain

Being the gland that produces hormones responsible for the body's metabolism, there is a complex relationship between the thyroid diseases, metabolism, and weight. Any abnormality in hormone production can alter the body's metabolism.

The relationship of the three can be illustrated as:

Hypothyroidism = Decreased thyroid hormones = Low metabolism = Weight gain

Hyperthyroidism =Increased thyroid hormones = High metabolism = Weight loss

The thyroid hormones regulates metabolism making them in direct proportion to each other. A decrease in metabolism rate results in weight gain because the body cannot metabolize in the way it is supposed to due to lacking thyroid hormones.

How Hyperthyroidism Affects the Body

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

The Importance of Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland is directly related to our body's metabolism. The hormones the thyroid gland secretes are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are responsible for controlling the pace of how each body cell uses energy, a process more known as metabolism.

If the thyroid gland produces low hormones like in the case of hypothyroidism, the metabolism will be slower than usual causing weight gain. Whereas if it produces too much thyroid hormones as such in the case of hyperthyroidism, there will be an increase in metabolism causing weight loss.

What Hyperthyroidism is

This is a condition also known as hyperactive thyroid. From the word itself, hyper meaning over or too much, this condition means there is production of too much thyroid hormones in the body. This usually happens when there is already too much thyroid hormones circulating in the blood causing thyrotoxicosis.

Thyrotoxicosis then leads to hyperthyroidism. The two should not be mistaken to be the same. Thyrotoxicosis could be a result of plain inflammation of the thyroid gland causing release or the hormones or too much intake of exogenous thyroid hormone.

What Causes Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism can be that the whole gland is producing too much hormones or there is only a single nodule producing more than enough hormones. When this happens, the single nodule is called "hot nodule".

Here are some of the usual causes of hyperthyroidism:

Too much iodine intakeGraves' disease - An autoimmune disease that is known to be the most common culprit in hyperthyroidism.Thyroiditis - Thyroid gland inflammation from viral infections or other auto-immune disease such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease. This can also be from a more subacute form called DeQuervain's thyroiditis.Noncancerous growths of thyroid or pituitary glandToxic thyroid adenomaToxic multinodular goiterPostpartum thyroiditis - This has several phases. The hyperthyroidism phase usually resolves on its own.

What the Effects of Hyperthyroidism are

Hyperthyroidism can either be symptomatic or asymptomatic. It can be acute or chronic depending on the length the thyroid gland has been producing more than normal amounts of the hormones. The symptoms usually begin slowly and are not noticeable as can be largely attributed to stress only. As time goes by that this is undetected, the symptoms will become more pronounced.

Here are some of the symptoms or effects of hyperthyroidism:

Nervousness and anxietyDifficulty concentratingWeight loss despite an increased appetiteIrritabilityIncreased perspirationGoiter - A visible enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neckExophthalmos - protruding eyesMuscle weakness more so in the upper arms and thighsMenstrual cycle variations - lightening of menstrual flow and less frequent periods

5 Myths About Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism

AppId is over the quota AppId is over the quota #1: If you don't do anything, Graves' Disease will go away.Wrong: If you don't do anything you may face a thyroid storm, which is a very dangerous, life threatening condition. Symptoms could be, but are not limited to: high fever, severe palpitations, vomiting, delirium etc. - all of them are very serious complications that can lead even to a heart failure. Do not play with the fire!#2: There is a miracle pill, which if I take it I can get cured overnight from hyperthyroidism.Wrong: There isn't such a thing as a magical pill, that can cure any disease, not only Hyperthyroidism overnight. Usually it takes the same amount of time for healing as for the physical manifestation of the disease. You disease didn't show up overnight, it can't go way overnight!#3: RAI (Radioactive Iodine Treatment) is a safe and fast way to resolve my hyperthyroidism issues.Wrong: If you believe that swallowing radioactive iodine is that safe, what's the big fuss about the earthquake in Japan? People wouldn't be going around with masks and moving to different parts of the world, wouldn't they? Hyperthyroid cats treated with that same pill wouldn't be locked in metal containers for 2 weeks straight, right? But you believe that it is safe for people, especially for you?#4: Proper diet for hyperthyroidism is the only therapy that can fix my health problems.Wrong: No matter what you eat, no matter how much broccoli and cabbage you consume overnight- that still will not cure you from Graves' Disease. So said- keeping up with a good diet will definitely help, but it's' not the only pre-requisite remedial factor for this particular thyroid disease.There are foods that definitely need to be avoided- like sea food, or any foods with high iodine content. Aspartame is also considered very dangerous. Other foods, called goitrogenous and cruciferous can be very helpful.#5: I have to rely my endocrinologist 100% on treating my thyroid problem and do whatever they say I should do, no questions asked.Wrong: Doctors, at least most of them, do their best to treat properly their patients, to the best they have been taught. However, all humans are different and sometimes same medications and treatment options may have a completely dissimilar impact on different people. Do your own judgment, watch carefully how you feel and what reactions do you have, trust your intuition. In order to get cured you have to actively participate in the healing process and if your doctor is preventing you from doing so- don't be afraid to fire him and get another one.Svetla Bankova is a former Graves' Disease patient and the author of "Life Manual for Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism", "Thyroid Eye Disease and Its Healing", "Ultimate Diet Secrets for Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism", "Life Stories for Graves' Disease Survivors" books.All the books are written with a holistic approach, addressing not only the physical consequences of Hyperthyroidism, Graves' Disease and Thyroid Eye Disease, but also the emotional, spiritual and social ones as well and how to overcome them.

A Brief Guide to the Symptoms of Hypothyroidism

AppId is over the quota AppId is over the quota

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the Thyroid gland doesn't produce enough Thyroid hormones for the body to function properly. This article will detail some of the most common symptoms of Hypothyroidism as well as provide some advice on what alternative treatments are on offer which may actually give you greater results than conventional methods of treatment.

There can be literally hundreds of symptoms associated with Hypothyroidism, too many to list here but I'll provide a list of the most common below. Check through the list and see if you have any of the symptoms and if you do be sure to have a Thyroid blood test done to be certain. Symptoms may include:

FatigueConstipationIntolerance to coldDry skinDepressionBrittle nailsBrain fogWeak musclesWeight gainInfertilityHoarse voice

The Thyroid gland handles almost virtually all metabolic activity in the body so it is understandable that when the Thyroid gland is not operating at its best, symptoms of Hypothyroidism can occur affecting many parts of the body. The conventional method of treating Hypothyroidism is hormone replacement therapy and this is done with a synthetic version of the Thyroid hormone Thyroxine (T4) and this can work well for some but some people seem unable to tolerate this synthetic version of Thyroxine (T4) and symptoms of Hypothyroidism persist even when blood tests show a normal level of Thyroid hormones.

Fortunately for those who don't tolerate synthetic Thyroxine there is an alternative. An alternative method of treating Hypothyroidism is with natural remedies and these can work really well as they target the root cause of the condition. The root cause of the condition can then be corrected causing healing to occur. Conventional methods of treatment don't actually correct the root cause and so no healing takes place so really, all you are doing is masking the symptoms of an underlying problem.

Natural methods of treating Hypothyroidism are gentle and produce little to zero side effects so they are a fantastic alternative. So what's involved with natural remedies? Well, with natural remedies you will have to make some healthy lifestyle changes so that would mean ditching junk foods and anything unhealthy from your diet and switching to a diet rich in foods which will provide all the nutrients required for the Thyroid gland to function at its optimum. Exercise is also great for people with Hypothyroidism as it gets the blood pumping round the body which increases body temperature and Thyroid hormone production. A natural remedy should be done with the guidance of a professional natural doctor who will be able to design a healing protocol specifically for you. If this is not an option for you then the next best thing would be to follow a protocol from one of the many books written on healing Hypothyroidism naturally. Using a natural treatment heals the root cause eliminating the symptoms of Hypothyroidism, restoring health whereas conventional treatments just treat the symptoms and nothing heals meaning the underlying problem could get worse.

Gluten Sensitivity and Graves Disease

AppId is over the quota AppId is over the quota

Many people with Graves' Disease have a gluten sensitivity problem. This not only can exacerbate their condition, but for those looking to restore their health back to normal through a natural treatment protocol it can make it difficult to accomplish this.

Gluten sensitivity is becoming more and more common. When I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease and followed a natural treatment protocol, for the first 30 days of the protocol I avoided gluten-based foods. I recommend for my patients to do the same thing, and some people will need to avoid these foods for a longer period of time. And of course some people do need to avoid gluten-based foods on a permanent basis.

How To Determine If Someone With Graves' Disease Is Allergic To GlutenIn order to determine whether someone with Graves' Disease has a gluten sensitivity or intolerance, the proper testing needs to be performed. There are different types of tests which can do this, and chances are you will need to consult with a holistic doctor in order to receive the appropriate testing. What's important to understand is that while many people who are sensitive to gluten react to it and have noticeable symptoms, not everyone will have overt symptoms.

So does this mean that I test every person for a gluten sensitivity? Actually, I usually don't recommend for every new patient to obtain such testing. There are a few reasons for this. One reason is because such testing is expensive, and there are usually other tests I find to be more important than this which I recommend. A second reason for this is because regardless of the test results, I still have people avoid gluten for at least 30 days upon following a natural treatment protocol. I find that some people who are gluten sensitive or even intolerant can begin eating gluten again after restoring their digestive health. So for many people it actually makes sense to do this type of testing after they follow a natural treatment protocol. Of course different doctors will have different approaches, and so I don't disagree with those doctors who recommend such testing for everyone immediately, as this is just the approach I take.

Should You Avoid Gluten For The Rest Of Your Life?

Some "experts" will recommend for anyone with a gluten sensitivity or intolerance to avoid gluten for the rest of their life. In fact, many will recommend that EVERYONE avoid gluten on a permanent basis, regardless of whether they are sensitive or not. Once again, some people will need to avoid gluten for as long as they live. But to tell every single person to avoid gluten for the rest of their life is in my opinion a little bit extreme.

When it comes to Graves' Disease and other autoimmune conditions, some suggest that gluten is the primary factor causing the autoimmune response. Of course gluten will trigger an immune system response for someone who is allergic to it. This is the case with anything else someone is allergic to as well. Without question gluten can exacerbate Graves' Disease, but this doesn't mean that in most people with Graves' Disease it's the direct cause. While the focus these days seems to be on gluten because it is in many different foods and many people react negatively to it, one also can't neglect other allergens as well.

This is why I not only have people with hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease avoid gluten-based foods while following a natural treatment protocol, but other common allergens as well. As I mentioned earlier, the only surefire way of ruling out such allergens is through the proper testing. For example, I've had patients who obtained an ELISA test and found out that they had some allergies to healthy, whole foods. Some people are allergic to certain nuts and seeds, which can potentially cause problems while following a natural treatment protocol. Some people are also allergic to poultry, and even certain fruits and vegetables. The point is, gluten is not the only thing people are allergic to, and therefore it's not the only factor that can cause a condition such as Graves' Disease to flare up.

How To Cure A Gluten Sensitivity Or Intolerance Problem

Some people wonder whether it is possible to cure their gluten sensitivity or intolerance problem. Some people can overcome this problem, but not everybody. For those who successfully overcome this problem they usually need to avoid all gluten-based foods for at least three months, and frequently longer than this. In addition to avoiding all gluten-based foods for a prolonged period of time, it is also important to eat well, and to avoid other common allergens. It also might be necessary to take certain nutritional supplements and herbs to help restore your digestive health. After this period some people can consume gluten-based foods again without a problem, although not everybody.

Sometimes a gluten-sensitivity or intolerance problem can't be cured, but can managed by taking certain enzymes, such as those containing papain. Once again, not everyone will be able to eat gluten-based foods when doing this, but some people claim that taking these digestive enzymes before they eat gluten-based foods will allow them to tolerate these foods.

In summary, people with Graves' Disease who have a gluten-sensitivity or intolerance problem can sometimes overcome this problem by avoiding these foods for three to six months, along with incorporating other dietary changes. For those who can't cure this problem, they will definitely need to minimize, and in some cases completely eliminate gluten from their diet for the rest of their life. Sometimes taking certain digestive enzymes can help people better to tolerate gluten, so this is definitely worth a try.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Is No Big Deal - All Low Thyroid Patients Have It

Now before you smash the computer screen, hear me out. I just had another patient come in and tell me that her doctor had said that to her.

If you are suffering with any of the symptoms of Hashimoto's, you know that it is a BIG DEAL.
Some of the symptoms of Hashimoto's include:
• hair loss
• hair thinning
• constipation
• fatigue
• cold hands and feet
• sleep excessively to function
• brain fog, slow thinking
• dry skin, flaky skin
• occasional HYPERthyroid symptoms

In America the number one cause for low thyroid is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

This means that the number one cause for low thyroid n America is an autoimmune attack. Here are some examples of other autoimmune conditions: MS, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus.

An autoimmune condition means your immune system has turned on you and is targeting your thyroid...and is killing it.... and that's what's causing you to have low thyroid symptoms. Taking thyroid hormones will NOT do anything for this attack. You will continue to lose more and more of your thyroid. The standard of care for that is giving you thyroid hormones. I think you probably understand now that this not a thyroid hormone problem. That's not the battle. The battle is an immune system battle; an autoimmune battle.

Here is a good way to think about the autoimmune attack on the body. It would be like coming into my office in shorts. You bring along your dog or cat. And it is just starts biting and scratching your legs, just really attacking you. I look at you and say "Gee, you have a leg problem. Here are some band-aids. Take these and put them on your legs. Here is a script of band-aids for the rest of your life for that leg problem. You may need more or less of them as you go through life. If I told you this you would probably look at me like I had two heads. It wouldn't make any sense. The animal attacking your legs is the problem, not the legs. It is the same thing with Hashimoto's. The immune system attacking the thyroid is the problem, not the thyroid.

What most doctors are going to do for Hashimoto's is monitor your TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone level. They're going to try to make it stay within a certain numerical range, but that's going to fluctuate all over the place and it's not really getting to the problem.

The immune system will NOT only attack the thyroid, but it will start attacking the cells in the lining of your stomach that help you to be able to absorb B-12. When this happens you'll end up getting pernicious anemia. Since 80% of neurotransmitters are created in the stomach, you can also get brain fog, memory loss, and other neurological symptoms.

The brain is also targeted by the immune system. It likes to attack the cerebellum. You can end up having vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems.
The immune system also attacks your pancreas and can make you start having diabetic symptoms, insulin problems, and adrenal issues.

Since every cell in the body has a thyroid receptor site, any part of your body can be attacked when the immune system no longer can tell what is friend and what it foe.
When most patients suffering from low thyroid symptoms learn about the autoimmune attack on the body, it makes perfect sense to them. It makes sense because that is how they feel. Like their body is being attacked.

Focusing the clinical management on slowing and modulating the autoimmune attack is crucial in Hashimoto's Disease. How can you have a properly functioning thyroid if the body is continually attacking and killing it?

A functional approach to naturally supporting and modulating the immune system in autoimmune cases is the best way to help the body slow down or stop the attack on itself. Natural management of autoimmune conditions is complex. Support that is specific to the individual immune system is essential if you truly want to help Hashimoto's Disease.

You have to find out how their immune system has shifted. Our immune systems have two parts: TH-1 and a TH-2. They are supposed to be balanced. If they are not, then we have a problem.

You have to find out which one of those has become abnormally dominant and why.

Is it because of an antigen? Something that the immune system has been trying to kill for so long that it's increased its immune attack on this antigen and then it flipped the scales and now we have an autoimmune condition.

Or has the immune system become imbalanced because of dysregulation. Hormonal surges can do this. Stress can do this. Blood sugar problems. Inflammation can do this.

So if you know someone that's suffering with Hashimoto's, or with low thyroid, and they don't feel any better even with thyroid medication, it is time to get them this information. It's time to find someone who can investigate this further.

There are millions of you out there right now that have this problem and you don't know it.
The reason why you still have thyroid symptoms, even though you're taking medication, is likely because you have an autoimmune condition.

And yes, it is A VERY BIG DEAL.

You can request his free report that explains why 90% of people diagnosed with hypothyroidis will never feel normal with thyroid hormone replacement alone at: http://scottsdalethyroiddoctor.com/

Cigarette Smoking and Thyroid Disease

This is when it comes to smoking and thyroid disease, that many patients are three main questions:

What is the relationship between smoking and thyroid disease?Is it bad if you have thyroid disease, you smoke? andThe diagnosis of hypothyroidism is sometimes a long time after quitting this a coincidence?
Let's look at the answers.
Back in 1996, as I was diagnosed hypothyroid after quitting the Usenet news group forother women, anecdotal information has been sent a request to the thyroid. (I stopped smoking in July of 1995, and was not too long after that I was diagnosed with thyroid status. Me to explore the relationship between thyroid disease and smoking why.)

Said the women had the same experience I received a large number of responses: they are diagnosed with hypothyroidism after quitting a long time, and more interested. At that time, I am in contact with these questions and the American Thyroid Foundation,said there is some research on the relationship between smoking and thyroid. Outlined in an article in their newsletter, sent me some of the research. Here is a recap of some of the findings.

Non-Absolutely Thyroid Damage

First, the tobacco smoke contains substances that affect the function of the thyroid.Research shows that smokers are more likely to have thyroid enlargement and mildthyroid enlargement in smokers may be signs of thyroid disorder can be subtle.According to a January 27, the American Medical Association, non-Journal, 1993 articlesmokers are twice as likely to develop Graves' disease. Cigarette smoking alsoapparently worsens eye problems in people with Graves' disease.
