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. High thyroid can cause difficulty tolerating heat, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty sleeping, mood swings, nervousness, irritability, mental instability, aggression, and weight loss. Grave’s disease is a more severe form of high thyroid disease, which can cause the eyes to bulge forward, due to swelling behind and around the eye. In high thyroid diseases, thyroid antibodies (TPO) are produced, which attack normal thyroid tissue and are destructive; and TPO antibodies can develop years before the damage to the thyroid causes a low thyroid.

Co-morbid conditions for thyroid disease include virtually every organ system, including cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, orthopedic degeneration, lowered immunity to infection, eye diseases, mental illness, and reproductive issues. The co-morbid conditions give clues to the underlying infectious pathology causing thyroid disease; and all of the co-morbid conditions are “associated” with chlamydia and/or H-pylori.

The thyroid is a spongy endocrine organ, which can provide favorable host tissue for immortal pathogens, and the presence of antibodies suggests a pathogen; thus, thyroid disease should prompt investigation into immortal pathogens, particularly chlamydia and/or H-pylori.
