Mass on my thymus gland

Posted By Anniej (Salem, Wisconsin, United States) on 05/24/2013

I am 53 and recently had a CT Scan with contrast and it revealed a good sized mass on my thymus gland. The radiology report states "thymoma and myasthenia gravis must be considered" I am scheduled to see an endocrinologist on June 10 and am pretty much freaking out that they will want to remove my thymus and treat with chemo or radiation. I am so against all of that and primarily treat with a holisitic doctor for my Hashimotos disease. I also have celiac disease and use bioidential hormones. Does anyone have any natural suggestions for me to reduce this mass without the allopathic forms of treatment? I would be most grateful to you for any help you can give me.

A sick old woman dying from cancer was given 2 days to live by a doctor. Her friend called a ND and begged for some enlightenment. She said eat eggs from pastured hens raw like popcorn. 6 dozen eggs later, and she was walking around spry as a chicken. Do not grind them up in the blender or stir them with a fork. Crack the yolk with your teeth. The yolk should be firm and orange. All the nutrients are there except sugar. For sugar, eat raw honey. Stop eating cooked food. Drind up some organic baby spring mix and berries in the blender. Take 4 grams dead sea salt and 4 grams of dried sea salt, 1 gram water soluable humic acid and 1 gram of dried cayenne powder per gallon of water. Take 1 ml of raw fermented skate liver oil 4 times a day. Take 10 grams of colostum per day. hawaiin cordyceps is the most potent cordyceps as it interferes with the dna of cancer cells. Take several caps a day.

I am not sure if this will help but you can try Jim Humble's website. He has a lot of information on cures for different things.

Mike, I don't even know where to find a lot of that stuff!

Please help! I have posted here a couple of weeks ago, but no one has responded. I am scared!

Hi Anniej. I already replied but probably forgot to press the agreement button. I am your age with the same health profile. I too had a 'fatty tissue' thymus some years back checked by an ultrasound not a scan. After all that drama, I have since found that the thymus becomes uncomfortable and prominent when the inflamation associated with Hashimotos is rampant. You need to cut the inflamation by using this protocol based on Dr K's book (look under hashimotos on this site - thethyroidbook) and search on Chris Kresser TH 1. Essentially you are either immune system TH1 or TH2I dominant and various foods and supplements balance it out and calm inflammation. I suggest you give it a go until you see the endo and get it re-checked. A red face is a good indicator for me of inflammation. A daily teaspoon of turmeric stops it pretty effectively. As far as the thymus is concerned, I am still here, was not offered surgery, and still have a variable 'lump'. Searches I did at the time established thymus cancer was very rare. It is a bit of a worry though so make sure every angle is checked including your full panel of thyroid bloods. Obviously if your antibodies are low something else may be going on. Read Mary Shamon's site on hashimotos for what is 'normal' in terms of blood results. Keep people here posted. This disease is a major hassle but only recently, my doctor is suggesting Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) might be the cause. Good luck.

Hello Annije, You mention numerous auto immune issues, Hashimoto, celiac... All related to the thymus. Just one thought on such conditions; never forget that causation might be related to underlying viral issues. If you google "hashimoto's virus" you should see a "hub page" web site on that issue that has a revealing list of underlying viruses which could be involved. Have you suffered with cronic infections prior to the onset of your thymus condition... If so the cause might be virally based and if this were me, I'd consider a month long immersion with an anti viral... echinacia is one and colloidal silver is another.

Echinacia can be obtained at most health food stores. I would take four drops in a half glass of water three times daily. Apply three drops topically on top of throat. Do the topical four times daily. Echinacia is an excellent killer of virus and bacteria.

After a few days, I'd gauge how my conditions were reacting. If positive, I'd continue for a month. Some writers don't like the use of long term echinacea, but I've read one book that had no problem with month long ingestion... Useful for spider bites and generally building the immune system. I like it for its anti "bug" capabilities.

If you go the colloidal silver route to killing virus infections, I would drink a high ppm silver solution, three times daily and apply the silver topically also. Same idea as using the echinacia. Drink a tablespoon and a half with each dose and apply a tablespoon to neck. For maximum absorption you could use DMSO to mix with the silver solution (ten drops DMSO) and the DMSO will carry the silver very effectively. Google DMSO benefits... and another good site is to google "DMSO 60 minutes youtube" and you'll find a program on 60 minutes run twenty years ago that was very informative.

Wow, thank you both so much! I didn't know it could just be a fatty thymus! And I didn't know about the viral issue. Yes, I did have many many illnesses before my diagnosis of Hashimotos. Much of that started after I was given the antibiotic Levaquin and nearly died because of the side effects, some of which, I still have. After my doctor began treating me for hashis, I began to feel a lot better. I really appreciate your help, both of you--so much!
