Thyroid is a small gland located in the midline and base of the neck just below the voice box. Thyroid disorders can range from a small, harmless goitre to life-threatening cancer. They are more common in women than men. They hit almost 15% of the population in Pakistan. The thyroid gland cells alone can absorb iodine from many kinds of food and supplements to produce thyroid hormones T3 and T4. The normal thyroid gland produces about 80% of T4 and 20% of T3. These hormones travel through the bloodstream in our body and control metabolism (food burning and waste elimination) growth and development. Hormones also control the way we respond to our surroundings.
They help provide the proper amount of energy and nutrition, which the body needs for function. Thus thyroid gland influences almost all the processes that are essential for maintaining harmony of various body functions.
The most common thyroid problem is abnormal production of thyroid hormones. So excess of thyroid hormones or their less production has grave implications for the body.
The condition when thyroid gland produces too much hormones is known as hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid disease. Its signs in patients appear in the shape of fast heart rate, muscle weakness, trembling hands, weight loss, hair loss, staring gaze, warm moist skin and a lump in the neck (Goitre).
Hypothyroidism is the condition in which thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones required for optimal functioning of the body.
This may cause sweating, anxiety, excitability, high blood pressure insomnia, weight loss, coldness, aching limbs and muscles, dizziness, constipation, severe fatigue and many other symptoms. Hypothyroidism is the most common form of thyroid problems.
In conventional medicine, the only treatment available for hypothyroidism is the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It only compensates the insufficiency for the hormone that the thyroid gland is unable to produce.
The thyroid gland becomes more sluggish, because its work is being done from outside. It eventually stops producing hormones and the patient becomes dependent on HRT for the rest of his life.
Scientific studies have pointed out HRT side effects particularly faced by women such as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility and diseases like ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids etc. These studies have also warned about the relation between HRT and cancer.
A review of clinical trials says, 47 women out of 1000, who used HRT for up to 5 years, develop breast cancer and 51 women out of 1000, who used HRT for 10 years, got breast cancer. This ratio rises as the period of HRT use increases.
BBC News reported on January 7, 2005 that the rate of heart disease was 30% higher in women who used HRT.
The American Cancer Society reported in 2002 that the stroke (brain haemorrhage) rates were 41% higher and blood clot rates were more than doubled in those who got HRT.
We human beings are extremely different from chauffeur driven cars. Our organs cannot be fixed like the engine parts. We have feelings, sensations, happiness, sorrow, vision and so on. Our body is not just the combination of organs.
Unless our health problems are not treated with the holistic approach, it is impossible to cope with the health issue. You must have observed that during the treatment of an organ the other organ may start showing some malfunction. For example during the treatment of liver one’s kidney is affected. Similar is the case with other organs. So number of patients is increasing day by day due to this mechanical approach.
Our body has an endocrine system — a complex group of glands that make hormones. Impaired production of thyroid hormones like most of the other endocrinological (hormonal) disorders cannot be viewed in isolation. It must be viewed as a derangement in the harmony of the entire hormonal balance of the person.
Homeopathy has a marvellous record in curing patients with chronic and acute diseases. Homeopathic remedies actually stimulate the thyroid gland to produce normal amounts of hormones to cure the thyroid disorders permanently. These remedies are prepared from a wide range of natural products and prescribed in extremely minute doses without any side effects.
I myself have successfully treated several such patients with the grace of God. I have maintained a complete record of these patients. After treatment these patients are passing their lives without taking any kind of medicine.
