Thyroid Disorder Symptoms/ Causes/Treatment

The Thyroid Gland is responsible for the metabolism rate of our body, as well as cell growth and regeneration. Most people have heard of thyroid disorders, and there are over 200 million people around the world that suffer from them.

Twenty-seven million of these people are Americans, and above half of the 27 million are undiagnosed. There are four main types of thyroid disorders and two of them are Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism
The main problem is that much of the population is under-informed about symptoms and can’t treat on time, which can lead to obesity, heart disease, depression, anxiety, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, infertility, among others.

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland is not producing or making enough thyroid hormones.

If there is lack of supply of thyroid hormones in the bloodstream, the body’s metabolic rate drops as well causing a vast range of side effects
Hypothyroidism Symptoms

There are 47 specific symptoms that have been identified to be present in people suffering from low thyroid function, and here are some:

Constipation
Heavier menstrual period for women
Paleness
Depression
Being more sensitive to cold
Weakness
Joint pain
Brittle fingernails and/or hair
Slow speech
Decreased sense of smell or taste
Puffy hands, face or feet
Thickening of skin
Lethargy

Hypothyroidism Causes

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is the inflammation of the thyroid gland. And if that happens, it damages the cells of the gland.

The most common example of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Autoimmune thyroiditis - where the immune system of the body begins to attack the thyroid gland causing complications and damage to the gland itself.

There are other things which cause hypothyroidism. Usually, these causes are congenital or birth defects. It may also include cancer or tumor treatment to the neck which may directly affect or damage the thyroid gland. Surgery or the removal of a part of the thyroid gland, drug or medical intake, as well as other drugs used to treat hyperthyroidism can also take a toll on the body.

There are also some women who develop the “postpartum thyroiditis”, which occurs after a woman has given birth.

Hypothyroidism Treatment
There is no way to prevent or stop Hypothyroidism, but it is curable. Once the symptoms start to manifest, visit your health care provider or physician and have yourself tested.

If the test and exam results show that the problem is hypothyroidism, your doctor or physician would prescribe TSH or Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone medicine.
Most of the time, the doctor will require you to start with a small dosage to avoid the possibility of side effects and other complications. Once you begin taking the medication, you should not stop taking it even if the symptoms of the disorder go away.

If you are taking prescription medication for hypothyroidism, you must make sure that you visit your doctor twice a year. This is so that you can have your thyroid hormone level measured.
Always consult your doctor in case you want to switch brands or try another kind of medication.

Lastly, if you’re having side effects due to medication, visit your doctor immediately.

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much of its hormones for a short (acute) or long (chronic) period of time.

The signs or symptoms are the following:

Palpitations
Over fatigue
Sweatiness
Rapid bowel movement
Irritability
Sudden paralysis
Shortness of breath
Nervousness
Goiter

Hyperthyroidism Causes

Hypothyroidsm can be caused by several things – and they can be external such as the things we do or internal, which occur inside the body. The most common causes of hypothyroidism are as follows:

Excessive iodine intake
Thyroiditis or inflammation of the thyroid gland
Abnormal release of TSH of the gland
Grave’s disease

Hyperthyroidism Treatment

There are no known ways to prevent hyperthyroidism, but like hypothyroidism, it is manageable. The treatment for hyperthyroidism depends on the severity of the symptoms. Most of the time, Hyperthyroidism is treated with one or more of the following:

Antithyroid medications
Surgery to remove the thyroid
Radioactive iodine

If you suffer from hypothyroidism, your doctor will assess the gravity of your condition and determine the best hypothyroidism treatment for you.

Here are some of the most common signs that you may have a thyroid condition:

10. Muscle and Joint Pains – Aches and pains in your muscles and joints, weakness in the arms and a tendency to develop carpal tunnel in the arms/hands.
9. Neck Discomfort or Enlargement – A feeling of swelling in the neck, discomfort with turtlenecks or neckties.
8. Hair and Skin Changes –Hair frequently becomes brittle, coarse and dry, while breaking off and falling out easily. Skin can become coarse, thick, dry, and scaly.
7. Bowel Problems – Severe or long-term constipation and diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome.
6. Menstrual Irregularities and Fertility Problems – Heavier, more frequent and more painful periods or shorter, lighter and infrequent Infertility can also be associated
5. Family History – If you have a family history of thyroid problems, you are at a higher risk of having a thyroid condition yourself.
4. Cholesterol Issues – High cholesterol, especially when it is not responsive to diet, exercise or cholesterol-lowering medication
3. Depression and Anxiety – Depression or anxiety, including sudden onset of panic disorder, can be symptoms of thyroid disease.
2. Weight Changes – Unexplained weight changes and issues can be signs of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
1. Fatigue – Feeling exhausted when you wake up or being unable to function all day without a nap can be signs of thyroid problems.

SHARE THIS INFORMATION FIRST AND READ AFTERWARDS..... SAVE LIFE 

(Share this as many people as you can!!!)

"10000 times stronger killer of CANCER than Chemo".. do share it.. can save many lives, fill up hopes and build confidence in the patients...

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called graviola ! in Brazi l, guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it’s the incredible story behind the Graviola tree..

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America ‘s largest drug manufacturers, th! e fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeuti c drug!
* What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectivelyhunt s
down and kills only cancer cells.. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is

One of America ‘s biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–hav e been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indi! ans in S outh America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.
But that’s where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There’s no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn’t let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that’s dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola,! they be gan tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious….

….The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public…

….Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment’s value–were ever initiated….

….A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

….The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminatel y targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

…A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers Seven years of silence broken–it’s finally here!
