IMO, "autoimmune" disease occurs when your body doesn't have enough qi to support itself, so it starts to break down. This is why the "antibodies" are "attacking" itself. You should try acupuncture. My girlfriend has Hashomoto's Thyroiditis, and they put her on synthroid. I gave her an herbal formula which is helping her a great deal. Roughly speaking, the "thyroid" in Chinese Medical terms is spleen qi, and somewhat also kidney yang. It's something we can definitely work with, using acupuncture, and/or herbs. QiGong too, which is free once you learn it.

He stated: autoimmune thyroid disease. At this point in time we're not sure whether I have Graves disease or Hashimoto's because my numbers (T3, T4 etc.) have been up and down within the last several months (and several blood tests). We're waiting for 6-7 weeks to go by to test again with my not taking any supplements (including Lugol's and kelp which he believes may be the culprit as far as going back and forth). Needless to say, I'm concerned as the last thing I'll do is have my thyroid removed - but he also mentioned that my body just might do it on its own anyway. So, has anybody had any experience in this at all? Currently I'm on an MMS1 protocol of 15 drops - 2x a day (I felt that my body needed cleansing as I'm quite sure I've had rampant Candida). I also have been taking some oregano oil and EIS for a sore throat which is just about gone now. I do take EIS everyday ( an ounce or two "just because"). Has anybody had any positive results with using MMS1 and "fixing" their thyroid autoimmunity problem?!!??!?! Should I add MMS2??!?!?! Please, I'd like very much if anybody can tell me if there's a way that I can get my thyroid to function properly and get rid of these antibodies. The Dr. said that IF it were to happen it would take months (and the tests are extremely expensive and insurance will cover the 1st one but may raise questions down the road) to see any difference. I'm a member of the Iodine group and also the Stop the Thyroid Madness which really focuses on hypothyroid (and at this point I'm hyperthyroid). ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated as I'm quite concerned! Thank you! Lisa
