So about 6 weeks ago my doctor checked out a lump on my neck. It has not been biopsied, but is a tumor (probably a fatty tumor) growing on my thyroid. They ran tests on my thyroid and my Hishimotos Thyroiditis is severe and my thyroid levels are so high I am at high risk for dangerous health conditions. My immune system is attacking my thyroid as if it were a foreign object thus my thyroid is working like a Over-active thyroid but only pulling off the job of a hypo-thyroid... So there is no medication I can take because the thyroid is over working, it could cause a heart attack. Here's the thing, I have been perpetually tired, weak, scatterbrained, and with a low-immune system. I can hardly carry on a conversation without losing my thought process (not the normal mommy brain)... SO the doctor wants to do iodine radiation on my thyroid, burning it out and then re-building it back up with medication. This would put me in isolation for 2 weeks and for a month after I cannot come within 2 feet of my loved ones for more than 1 hour a day, my dishes and laundry must be washed separately and paper plates would have to be thrown away 50 feet from any residence! This is NUTS! My family would be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation just by living in the same house for a month after the treatment!
So for all of you who know me, you know I would declined treatment and go NATURAL! I have an amazing naturapath/chiropractor, who practices muscle response testing to pin point the cause and then treat the cause with whole food supplements / herbs. SO I have been using the treatment for 5 weeks now and practicing a Vegan diet, plant based, whole foods, live ensigns... Its simple! Takes discipline, but totally worth it! I dont eat wheat, breads, anything with sugar in the ingredients, any meat, dairy products (anything with a face), or processed foods. Mainly rice, fruits, veggies, and nuts (not peanuts). And I eat lots! But I have lost 18 lbs so far!!!
I feel amazing! The tumor is 1/3 the size, I have energy, I feel good, my mind is sharper... I will get my blood work re-done in a few months to prove my thyroid is better... For the sceptics, like my husband.
I think Im gonna make this a way of life! I have no reason to go back to my old life style (eating habits) What we eat is the fuel and we can either put the power of health in our hands or continuously expect dr's to fix us!!!! I will hold my own future, thank you very much!
