THE REAL CAUSE OF THYROID DISEASES
14. In addition to the causes for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism described above the real cause of thyroid disease, however, is a wrong feeding habit over a long period of faulty style of living, together with suppressive medical treatment of other diseases in the past. The thyroid gland plays an important role in destroying toxic matter generated in the intestines as a result of the putrefaction of animal protein material like meat, fish, eggs, cheese and milk. The thyroid glands will be overworked when excessive quantities of these foods are consumed, resulting in the clogging of the intestinal tract with toxic matter. The overworking of the thyroid gland is further complicated by wrong living habits and excessive emotionalism both of which weaken the system.

15. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists suggests a simple at home goitre test with a hand held mirror and a glass of water as below:

- 2. while focusing on this area in the mirror, tip your head back;
- 3. take a sip of water and swallow;
- 4. as you swallow, watch your neck. Check for any bulges on the neck between the Adams’s apple and the collarbone;
- 5. you may want to repeat this process several times; and
- 6. if you see any protrusions in this area, seek expert advice immediately. You may have an enlarged thyroid gland or nodule.
A blood test can tell for sure if you have thyroid disease. The American Thyroid Association recommends that at least all adults over 35 have a thyroid blood test every 5 years.

Medications can sometimes treat the symptoms but invariably have adverse side-effects and do not eliminate the causes.
