Thyroid and Homeopathy

The thyroid gland is located just near the voice box and is instrumental in synthesizing and releasing thyroid hormones. These thyroid hormones have an effect on practically every internal bodily activity. Abnormal thyroid conditions include hypothyroidism (an under active thyroid that produces inadequate hormones) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid producing more hormones than are good for health). A third thyroid condition is the enlargement of the thyroid gland.

An enlarged thyroid gland or hyperthyroidism is normally addressed by a total or a partial surgical excision or radioiodine therapy. This is mainly done to reduce the size of the gland to restrict the over-production of hormones. Hypothyroidism is dealt with by hormonal replacement therapy, which uses synthetically-produced hormones or those derived from the thyroid tissue of pigs. Conventional treatment for both thyroid conditions is fraught with danger. A visit to a conventional physician usually results in the patient being given a prescription for the latest drug. More often than not, the physician has been briefed by a marketing representative of the manufacturer.

Medical science is still not fully aware of all the cells and hormones that the body produces. Most of the time, modern medicine interferes, cuts off and destroys what it does not fully understand. This is the reason why abating the function of organs and glands should not be chosen as a primary treatment, especially when alternative therapies like homeopathy have effective remedies.
