I think my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is cured. I went to see another integrative doctor who specializes in intestinal disorders and she found that I had/have a leaky gut and not enough intestinal bacteria. So, I started taking GI flora and slowly my neck burning has gone away just like she said it would. I have also quit drinking alcohol except for a tiny bit ocassionally - this has also contributed to my gut healing. So, now it is just a waiting game to see if my thyroid recovers. The doctor said that after it stops being bombarded with anti-bodies, it will regenerate and heal. I am sure it is going to take a while. In the meantime, I am taking thyroid medication that I am having imported from Canada called "ERFA Thyroid." It works really well - much better than any current U.S. brand. There is actually a shortage of dessicated thyroid medication in the U.S. right now because of rising demand. Have I uncovered the cure for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and hypothyroidism? I guess we will find out. I predict that in a year from now, I will either be completely off meds or will have at least had to cut down my dosage. I have my fingers crossed and meditate on this every day.


In other news, I have been working out a lot and so far have lost 16 lbs since I discovered I had hypothyroidism. I am definitely feeling a looking a whole lot better. I love life again!
