Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Denise.
Dear Barb, I just discovered your post on autoimmune disease. I have hypothyroidism as well as being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. My life has been turned upside down. I am a RN and had to go on disability. The severe depression accompanying my illness also lead to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Now I am wondering if all my symptoms could be attributed to Hashimotos.
May I direct you to Dr Isabella Wentz, doctor of Pharmacology who recently aired a nine part series online called The Thyroid Secret. Her book Is “Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Lifestyle Interventions for Finding The Root Cause “. On March 28th her book on “Thyroid Protocol ” will be available. The amount of research that she has done is incredible and has been life changing for many. Also I refer you to Dr. Mark Hyman, a Functional Medicine pioneer.
His book “The Blood Sugar Solution ” is a thorough explanation of how we can take back our health. Like you, most of our experiences with traditional medicine have been negative. It is necessary to explore alternatives for healing.
I hope you will find these resources helpful in your journey to wellness. Many blessings to you.
