One type of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto's disease. With this condition, the body produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland, causing it to under produce hormones. Hashimoto's disease has no known cure, but can be treated with medication prescribed by a doctor.
Instructions
Treat Hashimoto's Disease With Medication
- 1
Have a blood test at your doctor's office to discover the thyroid hormone level in your body. Blood tests will be able to monitor how your thyroid gland is working, indicating whether you need medication.
2Realize that with Hashimoto's disease, your doctor will most likely treat the symptoms, rather than the disease as a whole. Unless your disease has progressed to hypothyroidism, you will probably not be prescribed medication.
3Take thyroid hormone-replacement drugs to shrink a large goiter. Besides causing difficulty breathing and swallowing, a goiter can be unsightly, contributing to the mental stress a thyroid condition can cause.
4Consider taking thyroid hormone-replacement drugs to alleviate some of the fatigue and weight gain associated with Hashimoto's disease.
5Try selenium (iodine) supplements to counter some of the symptoms of Hashimoto's disease. These supplements have been shown to slow or reduce the elevation of thyroid antibodies.
6Treat pain and swelling caused by Hashimoto's disease with aspirin or ibuprofen. Take it before you go to bed. This especially helps some of the attacks that often occur at night.
7Attend your follow-up appointments, so that your doctor can closely monitor your treatment. She will most likely set up a recommended schedule that you should stick to, preventing your Hashimoto's disease from becoming hypothyroidism.
Use an Alternative Therapy to Treat Hashimoto's Disease

Ask your doctor for a natural form of thyroid medication. Most doctors prescribe a synthetic form of thyroxine, but there are natural extracts available that contain thyroid hormones. They are derived from the thyroid glands of pigs.
9Consider acupuncture. Some people have had success treating Hashimoto's disease with a combination of acupuncture and herbal remedies. Consult your doctor before trying any supplemental therapy.
10Fill your diet with seafood, shellfish, organic vegetables and iodized salt to naturally raise your iodine level. Also, try kelp tablets as a source of iodine. Iodine is an essential part of the thyroxine hormone, but if you're not currently being treated with levothyroxine (hormone-replacing drugs), you should not start an iodine-rich diet.
If anyone should still be grateful to God for the gift of life, that person should be me. Men and Women in this page, Faith Ristus is my name, I want to let the whole world know how I was cured of my Hepatitis B by God through the help of Herbal Dr Uwadia Amneifo. I was ill and diagnosed of Hep B after successfully undergoing appendicitis operation. After my doctor diagnosed me of Hep B, he said this virus has no cure and that I have to be careful not to allow anyone have direct contact with my blood. I have husband and kids at home, and anytime I come from work they come to me and I carry my kids on my body and sometimes they even sleep laying on my body so I begin to wonder how I can now start to avoid my kids and my husband for them not to contract this virus. I was given medicine like Lamivudine (Epivir-HBV, Zeffix, or Heptodin) and others to curb it but my conditions remain the same, and instead I would only eat and sleep after taking the pill, and this pill was too expensive for me. My health began to deteriorate on a constant basis and I was almost beginning to see my grave. For this reason I was prompted to do a search on the internet to see how I could help myself. I ran into a blog where I saw a testimony of a woman named Rash Hansell where she testified of how she as cured of Hypothyroidism with the use of roots and herbs prepared and shipped to her by Herbal Doctor Uwadia Amenifo. After carefully studying her testimony, I decided to take the contact details of the herbalist and immediately I maintained communication with him. He replied my message via his email and told me he got my message for the herbal cure of Hep B and he assured me that my cure is certain with his herbal mixture. He was so confident that I was so convinced just in his confidence. So we made necessary arrangement, and he prepared the herbs and shipped it to me. Just as he directed me to use it I really did. Behold it was as if he gave me magic medicine. My body system began to positively react to his medicine and in just less than three weeks, I was totally cured. I told him before he cured me that if he cures me, I will tell the whole world about his herbal medicine, and now I am cured so I am fulfilling my promise to him.
