Hashimoto
Hello,I am a 26 year old woman and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto two years ago.
I take every day Eltroxin 100 micrograms dose. Usually the treatment helps me, but I do not always feel balanced in terms of symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
I'm looking for some natural treatment that can give me some hope.
Do you think it is possible to restore some thyroid functions with homeophatic treatment, or after two years with the disease it is more likely that the cells have been destroyed and there is no chance of resurrecting them?
Is homeophatic treatment can neutralizes the autoimmune response that caused the destruction of the thyroid?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Marina
