Hypothyroidism, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

There are many similarities between the conditions of hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Millions of people have these conditions , and as hypothyroidism usually can be measured by blood tests for thyroid , there are no blood tests that can determine if a person has fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. As a result , many doctors reject the latter conditions as not being "real" problems. Fortunately, more and more doctors are realizing that people with fibromyalgia and CFS actual conditions , although most do not know how to successfully treat such conditions.

One thing I've learned in my 10 years of being a holistic practitioner is that you can not rely on blood tests alone . So with conditions such as fibromyalgia and CFS , simply because blood tests are negative (normally ) does not mean much . But so does hypothyroidism, because even thyroid tests in the blood are not entirely reliable. Pay attention to the patient's symptoms is very important. But too many doctors rely on blood tests only , and do not pay much attention to the symptoms of their patients.

Finding the cause of these " incurable diseases "

Most doctors call fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism as incurable. So when someone receives positive blood tests indicate that the person is hypothyroidism , the person is told to take thyroid synthesis or natural hormone for the rest of their lives. In most cases, nothing can be done to find the underlying cause of the disease, although many people with hypothyroidism can have their health restored to normal through a natural treatment protocol thyroid.

Natural treatment methods can also help many people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. And when I speak of natural treatments , I do not just mean taking nutritional supplements and herbs. While nutritional and herbal supplements play an important role in the recovery process taking alone does not restore the health of a person with this condition. In fact , it could be risky to self- treat their condition by taking supplements and herbs.

Four systems of the body that may be the cause of your condition

With hypothyroidism , fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome , there are four main areas of the body that can cause or contribute to these conditions:

1. The adrenal glands. Most people with hypothyroidism , fibromyalgia and / or chronic fatigue syndrome have low adrenals. Most endocrinologists and other physicians do not seek health but weak adrenal adrenal glands can lead to many different health problems and must be addressed if there is a possibility of curing their disease. Fortunately, this can be determined by a test called the Adrenal Stress Index (ASI ) , which is the company Diagnos - Techs . If found to have weak adrenal glands can usually be corrected by modifying certain lifestyle factors , and supporting good adrenal .

Two . Steroid hormones . An imbalance of hormones such as progesterone , estrogen, testosterone and / or DHEA may also contribute to these conditions . Many holistic doctors recommend bioidentical hormones to correct hormonal imbalances. Although bioidientical hormones can greatly help sometimes , usually do not offer a permanent cure to hormonal imbalance . So if you give a person should be on a temporary basis . After a treatment protocol usually fix a natural hormonal imbalance such.

Immune system. Three . An immune compromise may be a factor in these conditions as well. When someone with hypothyroidism have a weakened immune system , which often leads to a condition called Hashimoto's thyroiditis. But people with fibromyalgia and CHF often have a weakened immune system too. And not surprisingly , most doctors do not do anything to solve a weakened immune system .

The digestive system. 4 . Proper digestion is extremely important in these conditions as well. Although poor functioning digestive system can not be the direct cause of hypothyroidism , fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome , if you can not digest their food and nutritional supplements they need to be properly then there is no need to follow a natural treatment protocol . So one of the main goals for anyone with these conditions is correct digestive problems they may have.

For best results consult with a natural endocrine doctor , competent

Instead of trying to self- treat your condition , I recommend consulting a natural endocrine doctor competent . This type of doctor is not easy to find, but a good natural endocrine doctor to fully assess its condition to determine the underlying cause of the disease, and if you feel as if you are a candidate for natural treatment methods that will put you in individualized treatment plan .

In short , people with hypothyroidism , fibromyalgia and / or chronic fatigue syndrome can often be restored to its normal through a natural treatment protocol health. This protocol can certainly be a challenge to follow, as it involves taking responsibility for your health. But if you are determined to restore their health back to normal , then there is a good chance that you will benefit from the natural methods of treatment.
