Thyroid Conditions
Lasers and Thyroid Conditions
The following are just a few of the exciting studies that support the use of lasers in improving thyroid disease. While the results seen in the below medical studies show remarkable promise in helping heal the inflamed thyroid tissue, it isn’t going after the cause of why that organ was inflamed and stressed in the first place.
The actual cause of most Thyroid conditions comes from a breakdown in the gut’s “microbiome” where the immune system is centered. The microbiome is the community of trillions of bacteria residing in the gut and if its happy then your gut and brain will function wonderfully.
But when this extremely delicate area of the large intestine is not functioning properly the microbiome is disrupted, the tissue becomes porous, and particles of food escape the intestinal border. Its at this point the immune mounts a response but gets confused and starts attacking self, and in this case, the thyroid tissue.
While thyroid conditions are often secondary to gut/immune dysfunction, the immune system’s relentless attack on the thyroid tissue ends up becoming its own problem. Studies are indicating that LASERS effectively help the embattled thyroid tissue regenerate and heal, thereby offering relief of symptoms and decrease need for thyroid medication for close to 1 whole year!
Here’s are some of the things LASERS can do:
- Heal the inflammed thyroid tissue
- Restore more normal hormone function
- Reduce or eliminate symptoms of hypothyroidism for a prolonged time
- Reduce need for T4 medications in a majority of patients, even 11 months after treatment, and at least 2 studies show half the patients no longer needed thyroid medication because their blood levels and symptoms had improved so well
- Increase the amount of cellular antioxidants such as glutathione
- Improve thyroid tissue and vascularization on ultrasound examination
- Increase levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), which calms down the auto immune activity and may have the potential to cause remission of Graves’ disease
- Decrease the inflammatory molecules such as nuclear factor kappa beta and interleukin 6
- Stimulate the repair of tissue damaged by the thyroid auto immune attack
- Reduce TPO antibody levels
Its critical to understand the while LASERS work extremely well at decreasing symptoms of hypothyroidsim, we offer a more comprehensive protocol that addresses why the thyroid tissue is being attacked by the immune system in the first place. Please reach out to us so we can explain what that entails. In the meantime here’s the studies on laser alone!
