Understanding and Addressing Thyroid Issues Naturally
Health library / Hashimoto's Disease
Don't fear names. There is a never ending 'name game' for supposedly new ailments that strike us in various ways. This is true for the thyroid and just about every other part of the human body. But they are just names.
They might tell you that you have an 'autoimmune condition' such as Hashimoto's, and that it cannot be reversed. But that is false. For every 'incurable' condition there are countless 'miracle' recoveries out there.
In short: Hashimoto's happens because your body is attacking the thyroid gland by mistake. There is much disagreement as to why this happens, and there are multiple factors – namely toxins and leaky gut.
This is always going to be the top priority for any issue. Using as many detox agents as possible will greatly aid you. Toxins are the root cause, and they are almost always ignored.
Watch Detox Videos & Read Guidance
Mustard seed and Brazil nuts are excellent sources of selenium – a key nutrient we tend to be deficient in, particularly important for thyroid health.

Please do NOT take any kind of crazy iodine supplements, as that can often make things worse.
