……..Thyroid Problems

Auto Immune
An Autoimmune disease is where the body’s immune system begins to attack the body itself.
The immune system may detect the presence of a toxin and sends antibodies to get rid of the toxin, however some toxins mimic or look very similar to hormones / substances or even tissue that are needed by the body. The antibody attacks those as well as the toxin as it can’t tell the difference. Thus problems such as Hashimotos Thyroiditis or Graves disease occur, where the immune system create antibodies that attack the thyroid.
So the problem is not with the immune system itself, but with the presence of toxins that the immune system is trying to eliminate.

The autoimmune response is solved by eliminating inflammation, detoxifying the body and building up the immune system.

Bacterial imbalance
The most common components of food that can damage your intestinal lining are the proteins found in un-sprouted grains, sugar, GMO’s and conventional dairy.The problem with un-sprouted grains is that they contain large amounts of antinutrients or nutrient blockers called phytates and lectins. Lectins are sugar-binding proteins that act as a natural defense system for plants that protect them from outside invaders like mold and parasites.
This is good news for plants but bad news for your body. Your digestive lining is covered with sugar-containing cells that help break down your food. Lectins gravitate toward this area and when they attach to your digestive lining, it damages your gut and causes inflammation.

emulsifiers used in packaged foods ranging from mayonnaise to bread to ice cream have been shown to increase intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and cause a chain reaction of inflammation and autoimmune disease.
