Thyroid disease and thyroid eye disease are caused by infection

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Thyroid disease can be caused by a chronic infection, which triggers the immune system to create thyroid antibodies (TPO). Thyroid disease can lead to thyroid eye disease (TED), and TED patients are often steroid responders, meaning intraocular pressure rises when the patient is treated with steroids. Surgery on the eyes of a patient with pre-existing TED can cause thyroid orbitopathy, in the surgical eye, as a result of surgery creating a portal for thyroid antibodies. Sequential eye surgeries, in a…..

Thyroid diseases and immortal pathogens

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland, in the neck. Thyroid disease may cause low levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroid), high levels of thyroid hormone (hyperthyroid), or alternating high and low thyroid hormones (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). Low thyroid causes dry skin, a feeling of being cold, a slow heart rate, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, muscle and joint pain and stiffness, hair loss, dry hair, constipation, and weight gain.

The endocrine system can be attacked by pathogens

Endocrine glands include the thyroid, pituitary, pancreas, adrenal, and reproductive glands. The endocrine system works together to secrete hormones and send signals, to other endocrine glands and organs, in a feedback loop, to help the body function and remain in balance.   The endocrine glands are spongy and porous, and hospitable to infection with immortal chlamydia pathogens, H-pylori, parasites, and/or viruses, which can damage and block the functioning of the endocrine glands, causing a deficiency or excess in hormone secretion…..
