The thyroid is a small gland in the neck. Thyroid glands produce hormones which signal the cells in the body to receive glucose and convert it into energy for activity, repair, and reproduction. When thyroid operates smoothly, so does the person. When it stops working the right way, multiple areas of our health can crash down. There are many healing foods for thyroid health that can help support it.
Hypothyroidism is a condition when thyroid glands do not produce enough hormones. Hypothyroidism is an early stage of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Thyroid problems are not brought by iodine deficiency and toxins accumulated in the glands, as believed widely. Hashimoto’s does not occur because of the immune system attacking itself. No. Our immune system does not attack our own organs. It’s a mistaken theory.
95% of today’s thyroid problems, including Hashimoto’s, stem from a viral infection by Epstein-Barr (EBV) virus and 5% of them come from radiation, says Anthony William, the author of “Medical Medium”.
The Epstein-Barr virus weakens the thyroid, causing hypothyroidism. Then, as time passes, the virus causes inflammation of the thyroid leading to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The immune system goes after the intruder and works hard to protect you. The immune system does not attack you; it attacks the virus.
It takes about 3-18 months to destroy EBV virus in the body if you work on it.
