Has anybody seen the following youtube video? "Cure Thyroid Problem Permanently in 4 Steps(100% Guaranteed)"

[kels33]

Hello folks, I have Hashimotos and recently I have found an interesting video on YouTube - "Cure Thyroid Problem Permanently in 4 Steps (100% Guaranteed)"

Link: youtu.be/k77F184hi5g(Not working as expected?)

This video has over 1.7M views and 76K likes, I went through most of the inspiring comments and people are saying that those steps shown in the video are actually helping in normalizing the hormone levels. I am surprised no one has wrote about it on HealthUnlocked ever. So I thought maybe it is worth to try in order to overcome this awful thyroid disease...

Please take a look and share your thoughts

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is! It may have 76K likes, but how many of those people have actually been cured? Hashi's is an autoimmune disease, and there are no cures for autoimmunity. I confess, I wouldn't waste my time watching it.

In the comments a lot of people are mentioning that those steps work. I do not think that 9 minutes video is a waste of time, especially when the guy - Fit Tuber, is proposing some lifestyle interventions similar to what Dr Izabella Wentz mentioned in her book "Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for finding and treating the root cause"

Regarding that there are no cures for autoimmunity, actually Dr Izabella Wentz has overcome Hashi's and many people that have been following her book and program, reached the remission stage.

[greygoose in reply to kels33]

OK, fine. But, I'm still not going to watch it.

And, I think you'll find that Isabella Wentz hasn't actually over-come Hashi's. A remission - which I've had a few times with doing absolutely nothing - is not the same thing as over-coming. It can happen quite naturally.

It helps that Isabella Wentz is extremely healthy looking and young .... if only all thyroid disease sufferers looked as well.

I just read up on her again and she was 26 when she first got this disease in 2009. I wonder what she will look like when she is in her 60s like me.

Isabella Wentz hasn’t cured her self of Hashimoto’s.

She is recovered and well, because she is on replacement thyroid hormones (and vitamin supplements and addressed food intolerances)

You cannot cure thyroid disease and unfortunately there is always someone looking to profit from the sick by convincing us there is. However, ask yourself, would there be over 113 thousand members here if it really was the miracle cure it was claimed to be. Diet, exercise and supplements will always be important in the management of thyroid disease but only in conjunction with sufficient thyroid hormones to replace those that your thyroid can no longer make.

At the end of the day it is entirely your decision but in your shoes I would be managing (& do manage) my thyroid disease by making sure my diet is clean and that all my vitamins & thyroid hormones are at 'optimal' levels first.

I have come across many of these types of videos especially in the US. If only it was true and you could cure thyroid disease but in my opinion this is not the case. There are things you can try to alleviate symptoms like diet and going gluten free etc. Over the years I have tried many things to lower my very high antibodies but nothing has worked for me. I won't be watching it and I think the only thing that has helped me is taking advice from other sufferers on this site and sites in the US like Elaine Moore's.

I gave it a look. Not because i'm looking for a 'cure', but because 'old medicine' interests me, and often contains wisdom.All these suggestions are pretty traditional practice for Ayurvedic medicine.

Yoga postures for thyroid , clean diet, massage area etc.

If all thyroid problems were cured by these methods, would you not expect that countries where these practices are widespread would have a long history of successfully healing thyroid problems without medication, and would you not expect there to be more evidence of this in the scientific community ?

I'm sure they would all be good for health , but.... cure all manner of thyroid problems from overactive to underactive, from any cause, Autoimmune , or something temporary, etc ?

That seems too simple to be true.

What about the advice No1...... No differentiation between hyperthyroid and hypothyroid . just tell everyone to stop taking the 'Tablets' / taper down quickly.

Is this meant to apply to hyperthyroid patients taking /antithyroid tablets too ?

And one last point , i one knew a bloke who was passionate about Yoga , and clean eating etc etc etc, to the point of fanaticism.

He got hypothyroidism.

To be fair , i don't know if he got better later because he went abroad, but my point is , it didn't stop him getting it.

And there's the small matter of " buy this walnut oil.... "

I did find this video of his informative

The video starts with text showing:

Sudden increase in weight -> Hyperthyroidism

Sudden decrease in weight -> Hypothyroidism

Whilst I am more than ready to point out that the usual assumption of hyper = lose weight; hypo - gain weight is simplistic to the point of being positively misleading in some cases, the opposite, as shown, is an even worse a travesty.

🔶 Thyroid pill won't cure thyroid problem.

Hardly a new point. But if it is better than not taking the pill, often by a huge margin, isn't that important?

Calls T4 a drug. Many on the forum prefer to call it a replacement hormone.

🔶 Use cold pressed walnut oil. 4/5 drops and massage thyroid area before going to sleep

Or onion juice

🔶 Take coriander seed water. Lightly grind, boil, filter, cool and sip before food in the morning.

🔶 Practice yoga especially asanas and exercises specific for breathing and thyroid.

🔶 Follow diet advice - avoid preservative-laden processed food, eat fresh vegetables, coconut, seasonal fruit.

🔶 Avoid use of plastic.

🔶 Avoid aluminium and non-stick.

🔶 Cut down tea and coffee.

🔶 Include iodine-rich foods (but avoid iodised salt).

Then goes on to advertise in the video a couple of vitamin C face washes in plastic packaging. Similarly many of the other linked products are in plastic packaging.

One product provides this claim: The surface structure of walnut is similar to that of a brain, which has earned it the name “brain food”.

The sort of suggestion/explanation that is used to imply uses for the very poisonous mandrake.

Numerous comments which actually refer to completely different issues (genital warts? herpes? and others). Numerous comments show how confused the advice is - many do not know if the advice is meant to cover hyperthyroidism - or not. Whether they should stop their thyroid hormone suddenly - or cut down slowly. and seem to use several different doctor names. (It is as if the video might get changed but the comments remain from previous subjects/versions.)

In other words, some very ordinary suggestions many of which are widespread, a few of possible interest, some incoherence.

And definite dangers - such as not seeking treatment when in danger of a thyroid storm or myxedema coma, stopping medicines which are working (even if not ideally dosed), missing thyroid cancers, wrongly diagnosing thyroid diseases in the first place.

We see all too many here who have very obvious iron-deficiency, or B12-deficiency, etc. Nothing said even hints at looking further at such issues.

And what is the 100% guarantee?

It is, as so much of the video and text, just advertising copy.
