Hi everyone,

I trully appreciate all the information and help, I know people here are trully

trying to help.  There are many different oppinions on any one subject, in this

case Hypothyroidsm and even doctors disagree.  Many of these different oppinions

are very valid.

As I said before I am not an expert on Hypothyroidism, nor medicine, however I

know this much:  Treating the symptoms of an illness and treating the causes of

an illness are two very differents things.

To replace the hormones that thyroids are no longer producing is one way of

dealing with it.  This might or might not aliviate the symtoms, but this never

solves the problem in the end.  For what we see on this blog aleviating the

symptoms varies acording to the condition of the person.  And you are

right, a very dammaged body does not respond to treatment the same way a

healthier body does, specially to treatment with hormones which are not produced

by that body.  Hormones not produced by ones own body are not the same as

what our Thyroids produce, they are incorporated into body function form an

external source, and used differently.  These artificial or externally produced

hormones are an attempt to replace something, but they do not entirely replace

it.  And they do not work the same way.

I feel there are always alternatives to anything.  Anything.  We have seen this

thought history.

How about finding the cause of thyroid malfunction and correcting it?  There are

many causes for thyrioid malfunction, and some of these causes are treatable. 

The thyroid glads, given certain conditions can be restored to proper function.

I think all hypothyroid cases are not the same.  Just like any other illness. 

And the approach to treatment can differ.  I have witnessed cancer patients get

rid of cancer without treating the cancer at all.  They have treated the cause

for their cancer to develop, reverse the condition and the cancer has gone.

I hope that for some of us, finding and treating the reason why our thyroids are

not functioning properly will lead to restoring the glands to proper function. 

I think for some this is a valid approach to their illness.

I am certainly doing that.  I will let you all know how I'm doing... good or

bad.  I hope I'll be well.Om shanti, namaste.

Well, good luck in finding the cause of thyroid malfunction and

correcting it. So far medical science does not have a consistent

procedure to do this.

As for other " cures " , there have been spontaneous remissions for at

least as long as records have been kept, and they still occur today.

Often we cannot determine what if anything contributed to the " cure " ;

and so we cannot consistently repeat it. The placebo effect is well

documented.

Speaking of which: In a study with a group of men in England they were

given a plain saline solution and told that it was chemotherapy. Almost

1/3 [30%] of them lost their hair.

Did those men in England who were given saline have cancer?
