Low libido
How many times have you asked yourself how it comes that your libido is so low? Is it my exhaustion? Is this effect of hormonal changes? Do I still love my partner? When having Hashimoto’s or other autoimmune disease, people suffer from inflammation. The body attempts to fight the inflammation by releasing more cortisol via […]
Silicone breast implants
* Silicone breast implants are associated with complaints such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, joint and muscle pain, fever, dry eyes and mouth. * Silicone can travel throughout the body and can be detected in tissues and the central nervous system. * Migrated silicone induce a chronic inflammatory process. * Though when the implants are removed, […]
The healing power of light
The same as plants, we humans have a chemical reaction to light through photosynthesis. When particles of light come in contact with the skin, they are absorbed by light-sensitive molecules inside cells, which produce a response. The response is different depending on the wavelength, color, light and where it’s used. Phototherapy is applied to: • […]
Cope with Hashimoto’s
It is not easy to cope with a chronic illness as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Many Hashimoto’s describe it as a slow death that is invisible for the outside world. What are the little things that help you keep going? Can you find them below? If not, share with us what works for you. Exchange new ideas […]
Premature graying
Hair is important for our overall physical appearance and self-perception. Graying of hair is part of becoming old. Though premature graying can be a sign of an autoimmune disorder (e.g. Hashimoto thyroiditis, vitiligo, pernicious anaemia). A role for environmental factors and nutritional deficiencies is also hypothesized. The epidemiological and investigative study of premature graying of […]
Healing power of sound
The idea that sound can heal is ancient. Currently science provides a prove of this old notion that musical frequencies can affect our mood, change cellular rhythm in our body, and thereby affect our health. This can be explained by the fact that all matter is vibrating at certain frequencies. Disease leads to a lower […]
3D printed thyroid gland
Usual treatment for someone diagnosed with hypothyroidism is a lifelong synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Hormone replacement therapy does provide a certain level of thyroid hormones but almost completely excludes fine regulation of thyroid status according to current physiological conditions. Despite the complex problems thyroid can cause, scientists see thyroid gland as an organ with fairly […]
Thyroid hormone is crucial during pregnancy
Thyroid problems can be difficult to diagnose in pregnancy due to higher levels of thyroid hormone in the blood, increased thyroid size, fatigue, and other symptoms which are common to both pregnancy and thyroid disorders. Thyroid hormone is crucial during pregnancy for the healthy development of the fetal brain and nervous system. During the first […]
Social environment switches on DNA
For long the belief that humans inherit DNA from their parents and that DNA remains largely unchanged over lifetime has been dominant. The new research in Human Social Genomics is showing evidence that this belief is wrong. Changes in the expression of hundreds of genes can occur as a function of the physical and social […]
Detecting pre-autoimmune disease
Current study of the Joslin Diabetic Center and the University of Massachusetts Medical School demonstrates that ultrasound imaging technology can detect pancreas inflammation in living rats during the development of type1 diabetes. In general, type1 diabetes is caused by autoimmune destruction of β-cells within the pancreatic islets. Type 1 diabetes is very often manifesting together […]
