I am curing myself of Hashimoto's thyroiditis

I am a professional journalist who suffers from Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an auto-immune disorder in which the body's antibodies, attack the thyroid gland. I was prescribed Thryoxine and told to take it for life. I am now challenging this directive through a course of action which I am determined will reverse my disease and restore my thyroid function. I will write regularly about what I am doing to fight this disease. Perhaps together we can prove that Hashimoto’s can be reversed.

April 21: Feeling healthier and more positive/a healing tip

Hashimoto say: he who takes no for an answer after the first thousand rejections is a fool. He who takes no for an answer after the 1001st rejection is wise.

I’m feeling healthier today. I have just come back from my spiritual healer who emphasised the importance of not letting negative vibes from doctors and other scoffers knock me off track in my quest to get rid of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

I got a call back today from the British Thyroid Foundation (better late than never) and spoke to a very nice lady who made the good point that there is so little money given to thyroid research that there just isn’t the data or knowledge available on recovery from Hashimoto’s. She agreed with me that the problem was that Thyroxine tablets were an easy and cheap fix therefore there was no motivation for the medics to do any other research.

She also said that it’s all very well stopping eating soya and other types of food that are supposedly not thyroid friendly but she said it was unlikely any particular food would have been a problem and that you would have had to be predisposed to auto-immune disease in some way, such as arthritis in the family which I had not realised was auto-immune related. Is that correct? Certainly on my mothers side there was a lot of arthritis and I suspect my mother might have had an undiagnosed thyroid problem.

The British Thyroid Foundation lady promised to email me over research and said if I’d got any questions she’d forward them to a friendly endocrinologist. Six hours later I’ve not received the email so I’m wondering if she’s spelt my surname incorrectly in the e-mail address – most people do get it wrong. Will contact again on Monday if nothing’s come through but I hope I won’t have to wait another three weeks to get a response.

Once I get the links and details of research, I will of course share it with you in this blog.

I contacted my specialist today to see if he intended responding to my letter I sent him at the beginning of the month. I got a message back that it was in the post. Sounds a bit like the cheques my customers keep saying they’re sending.

Anyway, I’m feeling positive about my fight to cure myself again on the basis that the doctors who say it can’t be done are talking from a position of ignorance because there is no comprehensive research been done into the possibility as far as I can ascertain.

Before I go, I’d like to suggest you do the following. Record on CD, tape or digital medium the following: “My bloodstream is free of anti-thyroid antibodies….my thyroid is functioning and healthy” over and over again. Do 30 minutes or an hour’s worth.

Then play it softly in the background when you go to sleep at night. It will filter into your subconscious - while you are a sleep. And it is while we are sleeping that the most healing takes place.

Worth a try?

Lots of love
Hashimoto
