Re: Hypothyroidism, really NEED to fast
Now, Hypothyroidism can be caused either from removal of the thyroid gland, OR from Hashimoto's, which is a auto-immune dis-ease. It is NOT from a lack of thyroid hormones. THAT is a symptom of the dis-ease. Interesting to ask: why would the body's T-Lymphocytes attack an organ? There is a link between endocrine disorders and celiac disease: (

I have been trying to heal my thyroid for 5 years, and have taken Armour Thyroid, and synthetic T4 meds, and all that does is take care of some symptoms but is certainly no cure. I believe diet can cure Hashimoto's. I have repeatedly fasted every year for the last 7 years for 4-6 weeks, trying different fasts, but none healed the thyroid. I believe that to heal this with diet takes time, and it will not be done with a quick fix. I agree that EFT can help in the process. I have heard of a raw diet curing Hashimoto's but that it took years.
Selenium 200mcg a day is used for inflammation of the thyroid.
And Maca powder should be beneficial for the thyroid, also.
Good Luck on your journey. You are not alone.
