Natural Treatment options for Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism. Natural and alternative solutions for Graves’ disease and Hyperthyroidism. By Svetla Bankova. Hello and welcome to my website, dedicated to Graves’ disease and Hyperthyroidism patients, to alternative and natural solutions for treating Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism! My name is Svetla Bankova, and I am a former Graves’ disease and Hyperthyroidism patient. I’ve also written 6 books on Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism, and conducted extensive research on the subject for the past decade. I am Graves’ disease free for 1. If you would like to learn my personal story and how I managed to cure myself, and what alternative therapies I’ve used in my own healing journey, subscribe to the free ebook on the right and you’ll be taken to a page where it says it all! Have in mind that results may vary from person to person. On this page I’ll try to explain in short what I have found during my research for the past 1. Graves’ disease, so far successfully. I am going to cover 3 objectives: How to control Graves’ disease symptoms naturally, with alternative methods and holistic techniques (dietary changes, herbs and supplements)Discuss what are the causes of Graves’ disease and what triggers it. Outline a holistic approach to treating the cause of Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism.(Have in mind that controlling the symptoms of Graves’ disease and treating the causes of Graves’ disease are two different things!) I have to start with the fact that Graves’ disease is a very serious illness and Thyroid storm (caused by a sudden release of large quantities of thyroid hormone) can be fatal. Fortunately, many cases are much milder and can be treated with some natural approaches. Often your doctor or endocrinologist may recommend your thyroid gland to be destroyed or removed, either by RAI (Radioactive Iodine Treatment) or thyroid surgery (a procedure where the thyroid gland is completely removed). May be there are some cases that a surgery is unavoidable (thyroid cancer for example), however, in most of the cases these permanent interventions are not necessary at all! Graves’ disease may present itself in variety of symptoms, but not everybody diagnosed with this disease will experience all the symptoms: Increased appetite; weight loss/ weight gain. Insomnia (inability to sleep)Palpitations, cardiovascular symptoms and tremor. Graves’ eye disease (Thyroid eye disease). Protrusion of one or both eyes. Hair loss. Dry and itchy skin. Heat intolerance. Emotional lability, anxiety, and depression. The above list of course is not complete. Many people will experience some of the above symptoms, and others that are not mentioned here. However, most of the patients are not in somewhat emergency situation where their thyroid gland has to be taken out or destroyed right away. Here is a typical patient experience with Graves’ disease: Diagnosis may come after a long period of looking for answers and experiencing symptoms that are just not put together to define “Graves’ disease”. This was my case: I chased doctors for more than 6 months and experienced most of the symptoms listed above, just nobody was able to do the math 1+1=2 and come up with a valid diagnosis. At the same time I’ve met people in the past 1. After being diagnosed, patients are often made to feel fearful and intimidated. They are told there is no known cause for Graves’ disease and that Graves’ disease is for life, which is not really true, because today we, in fact, know a lot about auto- immune disorders, just this information hasn’t made its way to the conventional medicine yet. Treatment options presented to the patients revolve around three options only, as defined by the medical doctors: RAI, thyroid surgery, or aggressive anti- thyroid medication (Methimazole or similar). None of these methods will actually cure Graves’ disease! Having in mind the so presented treatment options, it is no surprise that Graves’ disease patients find their experience with conventional medicine hopeless or depressive. Once the doctor says “There is nothing better that can be done”, the patient will feel helpless and desperate. That leads to emotional paralysis and lack of action, and I believe that patients have to feel self- empowered and able to take control over their health in order to regain their health back. Only a self- empowered, proactive patient is going to take steps, necessary to recover from an auto- immune disorder! So, one of my jobs as a former patient and a person who read, wrote and researched a lot about Graves’ disease for more than a decade is to educate people that there is a lot they can do, in fact, to get better and recover their health. In reality, this is what can be done to improve your health condition: First, do your research. We know today that the causes of Graves’ disease are not entirely unknown. Of course, there isn’t one single cause of Graves’ disease, which can be removed and you can be done with it, but if you follow a natural treatment protocol I strongly believe that you can get better. Graves’ disease, as well as any other autoimmune disorder, is a multi- factorial problem and the treatment plan should be individualized for every single patient! There isn’t one single treatment protocol for everyone, however, science does have an idea what factors may contribute to Graves’ disease, even though that knowledge seems to not has made its way entirely to the conventional medicine. In fact, it is easier for doctors today, and way more convenient for them, to offer expensive permanent procedures like thyroid surgery or RAI treatment, even though they do not solve the medical problem for Graves’ disease patients. Depending on the case, toxic medications like Methimazole or Propylthiouracil may not be needed and the destruction of the thyroid gland is not inevitable. Graves’ disease- Thyroid or Autoimmune disease? Graves’ disease, dear reader, is not a thyroid disorder! It is an auto- immune disorder that affects the thyroid gland. Therefore, the removal or destruction of the thyroid gland (which is the affected organ and the victim) will not solve the problem with your malfunctioning auto- immune system! Neither will do the herbs or supplements, or any other unconventional or conventional method that targets the thyroid gland only! This is why: The purpose of any treatment should be tolower the thyroid antibodies and to fix the autoimmune system, which has been compromised and caused Graves’ disease. With this mind, I am going to outline a two- step approach for Graves’ disease treatment: – Controlling the symptoms of Grave’s disease, using natural therapies as much as possible (herbs, vitamins, supplements) instead of toxic medication.– Treating the underlying immune system disorder, which will reverse Graves’ disease completely. If this not done in that particular order and the thyroid gland is removed or destroyed, permanently, your confused immune system will simply find another organ to attack. That’s why many people may have two or more auto- immune system disorders simultaneously- Rheumatoid arthritis, Diabetes Type 1, Lupus, Hashimoto’s disorder etc. Or, after the thyroid gland has been destroyed, they may develop, very likely, another auto- immune disorder. How can you control the Graves’ disease symptoms via natural methods? You should know that Graves’ disease is too dangerous to be left untreated without controlling symptoms in the meantime. If you chose the least invasive method, i. But medications are too toxic to be taken for indefinite period of time, and herbs and supplements are not, if they are used in a responsible way. Should you stop you medication? No. And No! Do not stop your thyroid medication “cold turkey”, or without talking to your prescribing doctor about it! You don’t go out and get a bunch of supplements, vitamins and herbs and just stop your medication! All these holistic products are added to the medication, then as the symptoms improve, and that possibly is reflected on your thyroid test results, you go and talk to your doctor to gradually lower your medication until is completely unnecessary. That’s the right way to go! Some over- the- counter supplements that can help Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism symptoms (consult a naturopath if in any doubt): L- Carnitine There many studies, conducted after II World War by scientists in different countries showing the benefits of L- Carnitine in patients with Graves’ disease. It is found that carnitine blunts the action of excessive T3 levels (the active thyroid hormone) of cell receptor. However, in healthy patients it has no such effect. To date, clinical trials have shown that doses of 2,0. L- carnitine are helpful in individuals who suffer from hyperthyroidism symptoms. Research: Benvenda, Salvatore, MD.( Mar 2. Salvatore Benvenga). National Institutes of Helath. EFFECT OF CARNITINE ON THYROID HORMONE ACTION. It may also reduce ocular involvement, and slow progression of the disease in patients with mild Graves’ eye disease (TED).

Scherbaum and Matthias Schott. The list of useful supplements is neither complete or exhaustive. There are, of course, many other supplements and vitamins which are anti- oxidant and anti- inflammatory, like Flax seed oil (great for Thyroid eye disease as well), Vitamin D, Vitamin E and A (skin and hair), Vitamin B complex (nervous system), copper etc. As I already said, treatment is very individual. But these additional supplements may work together to fight inflammation and balance the immune system function.
