A member asked:
What is hashimoto's disease? i'm on 50mcg of thyroxine daily. anyway to combat this disease directly instead of treating symptoms i.e. low t4
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autoimmune disease: Hashimoto's is a condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. It is important to take thyroid hormone but ideally best to also address the cause of autoimmune issues, but this is not easy. It can be related to mercury toxicity etc. See http://www.Umm.Edu/altmed/articles/thyroiditis-000164.Htm & http://www.Stopthethyroidmadness.Com/2013/01/09/anatabine-hashimotos-inflammation/.
