Hypothyroidism

What injury could provoke autoimmune thyroiditis

[NWA6]

Any stress, mental or physical. I broke my femur at 8yrs old. I believe this is when my autoimmune condtion switched on.

I used to think the human body was remarkably strong by design but now I see it has so many flaws including weakness at a cellular level is usually bad especially with each decade that passes.

Lots of external influences too. The immune systems of today are mostly artificially created with vaccines. The body is still an amazing machine to overcome so much toxicity surrounding us ... Taking care of the gut microbiome seems a good starting point.

Sayer Ji's recent book is downloadable for a dollar - called - Regenerate. Well referenced with some interesting points ... 🌻

Stress caused mine because I had just watched my best friend die a painful death.

Tonsillectomy, glandular fever, gut infections like sibo or H pylori

Stress often linked to thyroid disease

Genetic links can make thyroid disease more likely. Autoimmune disease often runs in families

Also injuries like whiplash

If 'person A' inherited the right (wrong!) genes, it's a 'potential' sitting there waiting for an upset to bring it into existence in 'person A'.

If it was possible to avoid all pollutants, and all stress whether physiological or psychological, then you could see whether 'person A' went on to develop Autoimmune Disease or not.

But that's an impossible experiment, so we 'll never know.

Apart from avoiding taking up smoking, (because stopping often triggers it)

and , avoiding becoming pregnant (because pregnancy/birth often triggers it)

And having the foresight to become a master of 'mindfulness' before anything difficult happened to you....

there's nothing you can do to avoid it.

(and i suspect that since humans started taking coal and oil out of the ground and turning them into CO/2 and plastics ,and carelessly polluting the land, sky and sea with them, and throwing insecticides around the planet, we've been doomed to an increase in problems with our immune systems...... and then we do like to mess about with a millennia old health system of of natural immunity, that we don't understand, by trying to be clever with immunisations......it doesn't surprise me that Autoimmune Hypo seems to be on the increase .....Low Impact tent dwellers Rant Over !)

I think that maybe times of great hormonal change can cause problems with the thyroid, puberty , pregnancy and menopause, in women anyway!

Some people who have the defective DIO2 gene may be more susceptible during these times.

I think mine was introduced in a plasma blood transfusion. I felt very unwell when I woke up and for months after. No one else in my family has it x
