Excuse my ignorance, but what is the laser treatment supposed to do for Hashi's? I thought the laser destroyed the thyroid.

Wow Genia, thank you so much for such a great explanation. My thyroid problem is due to long term stress from a child, everything you said makes sense.

I have worked on my stress with lots of therapy and meditation, I guess I’m in a remission of sorts because I’ve been on the same medication dose for 20 years. Unfortunately I’ve not healed my condition though.

I’m tempted to go to Russia to have this but I only speak English so not sure this is wise.

How much did it cost?

Thanks

Donna

Donnaca, hi. Im sorry to hear about the stress you've had. It sounds so familiar from other people with thyroid problems that I have met. I think there are some clinics in the US and Canada that use cold laser on the thyroid. The clinics I have come across online do physiotherapy and use the cold laser primarily for stimulating wound healing. Might be worth a google.

As far as cost is concerned, this is stupidly cheap. The laser machines cost maybe a couple of thousand dollars at most, so if a clinic is using this then per use cost is very low (not including whatever profits and overheads go on top of course). In Russia, in the city where I went to have this done 10 sessions of the laser cost around 30 USD, so three bucks a visit. Plus consultation. In Moscow it will be more. But bottom line is this is not expensive technology. Be it in Ryazan, Kentucky or Quebec.

You get acupuncture with it at the same time, they said they have good results with clients.

My anti bodies are really high so not sure stimulating my thyroid with this will actually help.
