We get a lot of patients who have just been diagnosed or who are already on allopathy for hypothyroid condition coming to us asking us if we can help them.
How common is hypothyroid?
42 million people in World have thyroid disorders and hypothyroidism is the most common of thyroid disorders in World, affecting one in ten adults.
What happens in hypothyroid?
The thyroid gland which is there in your body, is supposed to produce a hormone, which regulates different functions of the body.
When the thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH is raised, it is called hypothyroidism.
The symptoms that happen in hypothyroidism are :
Putting on weight, dryness of the skin, constipation, depression,hair fall, puffiness of the face and so on .
There are a whole lot of other things also that are associated with it. You may end up going to the doctor saying that I’m feeling very lethargic, I’m feeling sleepy all day and I’m getting a headache, I am losing a lot of hair ,I’m not feeling myself and so on .
The doctor will get your tests done and he will say your TSH is high. Your body is not producing enough of thyroid hormone that is required. So we need to supply it from the outside.
Normally the levels of the thyroid are between 4 to 6. So when it crosses 6, the allopathic doctor will put you on medication. This is a supplement. It’s not a medicine. What the body is not producing, is being given to you from outside.
Once you start taking these medications there is no stimulus that is going to your gland to produce any hormone as it is getting what it needs from outside.
That is the reason once you start on thyroid medication you end up taking it all your life. you’re not really letting your thyroid gland do its job as you are supplying what it needs from outside.
The fact is that the TSH level which is up to 6, can go all the way up to 250 to 300. We have patients coming with TSH levels 250 ,260 etc . We even get kids coming to us with TSH as high as 500.
Trust me,these people are asymptomatic and have no problems whatsoever.
Most times they casually get their test done and they come to know that their TSH levels are very high and so they start on medication.
Now, once they start on medication they are stuck with it for the rest of their lives.
Allopathic approach:
The only known approach is to supplement with medicines what is not produced in the body.
The thyroid gland which is not secreting properly needs help. The homeopathic medicines which are selected,stimulate the thyroid gland to produce its hormones on its own and naturally. We have about 80 to 90% of the people who have been coming to us, responding in three to six months time.
We get their TSH done once in three months and monitor them till it stabilises and then we stop medicines and let the thyroid gland function on its own.
Those people who are already on allopathic medication.
We make them stop their allopathic medication and we ask them to take Homeopathy for three months.In some cases where the levels are very high we start homeo medicines along with allopathy and over a period of time taper their allopathic medicines.Most people respond in about three to six months time, There are a few of them who don’t respond within three to six months. We ask them to go back to allopathic medication because their thyroid gland is refusing to get stimulated.
What happens if you don’t treat thyroid immediately?
World has about 60-70% of people in the rural areas. They are poor and lack medical facilities.A lot of them do have Thyroid issues but they are either unaware of it or even if they are diagnosed they ignore and not take medicines as they can’t afford it or they are ignorant. The truth is most of them continue to be fine and have no issues.
Hypothyroidism is not a dangerous disease. It’s nothing to worry about, Unless you have a lot of symptoms, like irregular periods,putting on an enormous amount of weight,not being able to keep your eyes open,lethargy,body pains, puffy face etc. such kinds of people need help immediately.
We get kids who are the age of eight or nine on allopathic medications and the sad part is they have to be on it all their life, but we’ve been able to help a lot of kids. We stop their allopathic medication, start them on Homeopathy medication and they respond very well.
Diet restrictions
Nothing much, people say that you’re not supposed to have cabbage etc.but I have no idea why they say that. You can do a Google search and if it makes sense to you follow the diet.
Do your exercises regularly because with thyroid there is always a chance of you putting on weight, because your metabolic rate drops. So be consistent in doing your exercises.
What would I do if I were in your place?
I would for sure not start allopathy in a hurry. I know that I am not risking anything by giving Homeopathy around 6 months to try and stimulate my gland to start working normally on Its own.if it does not respond then will go in for allopathic treatment
Do not start on any allopathic supplements until you have given Homeopathy a try for at least about three to six months. Trust me. Nothing is going to happen to you in these three to six months time. But if these medicines can help you avoid allopathic medicine for the rest of your life, isn’t it worth giving it a try?
