Prevent And Treat Hyperthyroidism Naturally

 

 

 

[quote]According to the American Thyroid Association Issue on hyperthyroidism, Volume 5 Issue 6, 2012, use of amiodarone, which is used to treat irregular heart rhythms, can lead to a severe state of hyperthyroidism due to the high amount of iodine in the drug.[/quote]

 

 

What Is Hyperthyroidism:

Hyperthyroidism, commonly known as the Graves’ disease, is a state of overactive thyroid. To put it in simpler terms, it is a state in which the thyroid gland undergoes hyperactivity in its secretion of thyroid hormones and thyroxin. Thyrotoxicosis, medical term of hyperthyroidism, is a condition in which there is an increase in the level of thyroid hormones in the blood stream. Thyroid hormone is vital to the metabolic processes of the body and its increase causes high blood pressure, irritation, diarrhea, and weight loss.

 

What Causes Hyperthyroidism

In more than 70% people, hyperthyroidism is caused when the thyroid gland becomes overactive and produces an excess of thyroid hormones. However, emerging studies point to a chronically inflamed thyroid.  Hereditary might also play a roll, viral infections, general chronic inflammation, and a sensitivity to some foods.   For example, in pregnant women, it is called the Graves disease and it can pass on to her newly born child.

Graves disease, mostly found in adults, is actually an autoimmune disorder and is caused when antibodies make the thyroid gland hyperactive in its secretion of the thyroid gland. A pregnant woman is said to be carrying these antibodies, and though hyperthyroidism is rarely a case among children, newborns whose mothers have these antibodies are likely to inherit the disorder.

 

 

Thyroid hormone levels can also be increased when the thyroid gets inflamed, resulting in a condition of thyroiditis. In fact, some food, especially ground beef, is said to have thyroid tissue. Consumption of ground beef thus may result in excessive thyroid hormones. It is also caused when a lump is formed on the thyroid gland, which continues to grow and can lead to an excessive production of the thyroid hormone in the blood stream. When the thyroid hormone reaches higher than the normal levels, it begins to be manifested in the form of hyperthyroidism.

 

Signs and Symptoms

Hyperthyroidism has a number of telltale symptoms and signs.  If you suffer from Graves’ disease or hyperthyroidism, you are likely familiar with any number of these symptoms. The symptoms include:

• Shortened attention span
• Hair changes
• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Nervousness
• Weight loss
• Frequent bowel movements

 

 

Treatment and Prevention of Hyperthyroidism

An overactive thyroid can become serious if not diagnosed in time. You need adequate amounts of nutrients and some specif supplements for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and regulation of the body’s metabolism.  An anti inflammatory diet, juices and anti inflammatory foods are essential in the treatment of Hyperthyroidism, because it helps our auto immune system not to over inflame when over stimulated. Alternative healing therapies can reduce the need for drugs and other prescription medications for hyperthyroidism.

 

Thankfully, there are several natural treatments for hypothyroidism  that will allow you to get rid of its horrible symptoms and lead a normal life again.   Don’t worry about side effects and complications of conventional treatments.   Get the Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism Report   (External link to the remedy report’s partner site) and learn how to use natural remedies, and alternative therapies for a better chance of finding the root cause of your condition and stop it from progressively getting worse.
