Millions of people today struggle with thyroid problems.  The great majority of those patients are diagnosed with hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormones.  The treatment for this condition in the traditional medical field is the application of thyroid hormones, but many patients continue to have thyroid symptoms despite the medication.

We know today that 90% of the people with hypothyroidism have it because they have a condition called Hashimoto's Disease.  Hasimoto's disease is rarely diagnosed today and can leave patients very frustrated.  Listen to the above testimonial to see how this frustrating condition can be turned around.

The Chicago Thyroid Program at Integrative Health of Chicago is focused on finding the cause of the condition, and working at that level of the problem.  Click Here to see more of our outstanding results.   

What is Hashimotos Disease?

Then number one cause of Hypothyroidism today in the United States is Hashimoto's Disease.  If you are struggling with Hypothyroidism it's likely that this disease is the cause, yet few doctors even look for it.  

 

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease.  The immune system believes that your thyroid is not your own tissue and begins attacking it.  As you lose tissue, your thyroid hormones begin to drop.  This drop in thyroid hormones leads to a high TSH level.

The typical treatment for Hashimoto's is the application of thyroid hormones.  This can be helpful, but is certainly not correcting the core issue.  If the immune system is attacking the thyroid, shouldn't the treatment be focused in that area?

Alternative Thyroid Treatments

This article will discuss alternative thyroid treatments.  There are so many out there, how do you know what will work for you?

A short search online will reveal countless people talking about alternative thyroid treatments.  Some people are recommending thyroid diets, while others are recommending supplements.  Is the answer in a supplement or a diet?

The truth is that probably both people could be partially correct.  Supplements can be helpful for a thyroid patient and dietary changes can also be critical.  So how do you know what is right for you?

It's important to find a doctor that is very well trained in this area of study.  There is never a one size fits all program.  If someone is telling you that a single supplement can cure your problem it's probably time to look somewhere else.
