Both conventional and functional medicine practitioners will agree: a virus can "trigger" auto-immune and thyroid diseases:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2654877/
Lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid, as seen in the proliferation of thyroid anti-bodies, is happening because there is an infection present.
Functional and conventional medicine practitioners promote the theory that one's immune system has subsequently become "confused" and is launching an attack upon one's own organs and tissues. This occurs because of "molecular mimicry" where the immune system is mistaking one's healthy tissue for virus, they claim.
But what if the virus itself is producing the disease state?
What if one's immune system is not "confused" but acutely aware of where this virus has hidden in the body? And this hiding of a virus in the body can last a very long time. Here's an example of Covid being the culprit, the hidden virus, which has led to secondary conditions in the long-term aftermath:

What if treating the virus itself is the winning strategy to cure even so-called "auto-immune" thyroid disease?
What if one's immune system is NOT "confused?"
Well, if these premises are correct, then one would need to look at the characteristics of the suspected virus still present whether by malingering or re-activation* in the body.
The two most common such would arguably be Covid and Epstein-Barr.
What do these viruses look like, at a molecular level?
Well, they are "spiky" - they have points like a "crown."
And guess what gums up the spikes on viruses so they can no longer proliferate? Ivermectin
In my case only a micro-dose of Ivermectin every other night stopped my trembling upon awakening that was attributed to Hashitoxicosis and Hashimoto's, initially. A functional medicine doctor put me on the path to the viral connection in regard to these tremors upon awakening. The Medical Medium put me on the path to look at the viral connection to thyroid diseases.
I'm currently having success - and by that I mean symptom free - with 3 mg Ivermectin every other night. Ivermectin remains in the body for 18 hours so I thought I'd try this every other night interval.
I'm afraid that by missing this viral connection people have suffered needlessly, been treated erroneously and been taught to believe their own body is working against them. In my view, that is NOT what is happening.
Functional medicine practitioners will provide elaborate diet restrictions and conventional medicine practitioners will provide thyroid hormone and/or beta blockers to mask the effects of the high octane thyroid hormone in the blood (the latter in cases of hashitoxicosis and/or Grave's.) But claim these thyroid conditions are nearly always incurable and can only "go into remission" - maybe. But both of these approaches are only treating symptoms if the virus model is correct.
Treat the virus. Cure the disease?
It's working for me.
*in my case and also in the case of one of the most well-known functional medicine doctors for thyroid, the onset of the thyroid disease state occurred right after performing a liver cleanse. Was the liver working as a sort of "virus vault" where it had safely isolated such? But then released it in due course of the "cleanse?"

I cannot find any precedent for topical DMSO on a slightly swollen thyroid gland. I have what I suspect is self-limiting, sub acute thyroiditis with some now visible swelling of the thyroid on one side, preceded by two months of a roller coaster ride from hell of rapid heart rater, insomnia, loss of appetite, tremors....all the "too much thyroid production is going on" and this high octane misery is running though you system, symptoms.
I have no insurance and have not been able to get to an endocrinologist at all.
No one will help me, so I'll have to help myself. First, I've taken all recommended supplements: selenium, rhodiola, motherwort, molybdenum, black seed oil, etc. Most things help somewhat or for a while, but the terrible hyper heart racing and all persist.
So I got to thinking...I am very familiar with DMSO. Basically, getting sulfur (the /S/ in DMSO) into the cells anywhere is like a tonic to them and with this help, they may well return to their optimal functioning. And coconut oil is recommended for hyperthyroid conditions, be they self-limiting as I hope this current thyroiditis is, or more long-standing such as Grave's Disease. Walnut oil, topically applied, is part of the traditional Ayurvedic treatment for thyroid.
I have had no pain and no visible swelling of the thyroid, but I can now feel the swollen area. I have been applying walnut oil, nightly since I suspected this was a hyper thyroid issue of some sort (two months + ago). Once I applied the DMSO and coconut today, I can feel the gland "tingling" ever so slightly - almost imperceptibly. Is this good? I have the feeling that it is. I'm going to continue with this experiment upon myself because, really, I have no access to modern healthcare approaches to my condition and they all seem to be subpar ones at best, anyway.
I will update this post with results. I am going to proceed with a single, daily application until symptoms (hopefully) improve. That will mean:
- no more "hyper" symptoms
- swelling has gone down to nothing
There is also a tradition of taking pure walnut oil, 1 teaspoon, 3x a day, an hour before meals. I may try this as well.
In before it's asked: "How much coconut oil and DMSO?" About 1/3 cup coconut oil and 10 drops of the purest, glass-bottled, food-grade DMSO

I used this product for about two years, and I had thyroid problems, but after taking this my thyroid was fine, and I was off medication for it. My doctor was really surprised because he said no one gets off thyroid medication.

I tested for my thyroid markers and and they were through the roof! I immediately stopped the spinach and gradually normalized! Anecdotally, when I ate katuk, I experienced insomnia! Then, raw parsely and cilantro caused my skin to itch! Back to romaine lettuce for me. (Sauropus androgynus, also known as katuk, star gooseberry, or sweet leaf, is a shrub grown in some tropical regions as a leaf vegetable.)

I know many of my foods Id added to my diet had iodine as well, so I didnt want to get too much. Easy does it I kept remembering. I got my new, thyroid bloodwork back this a.m. and I'd like to share the pics so I'll try to do that. The first is the before numbers, and the second is the "after". I'm so thrilled and I hope others will try this.

I get the feeling that people are reluctant to try Magnet Therapy especially on the Thyroid, so I will respond be not afraid as there is no evidence of harm. I use strong magnets, but one should at least begin removing bad energy, inflammation, and infection with a simple Refrigerator Magnet. From my personal experience in a variety of conditions and body parts, Magnets are the single best place to start a cure. So many conditions never respond favorably to many treatments whether conventional or alternative because of the "preconditions" of bad energy, inflammation, and infection.
Recently I have found Zapping almost completely ineffective for local infection in my joints & lower spine until I discovered Magnet Therapy was absolutely necessary prior to Zapping. So now, I do this sequence as a rule-of-thumb on joints or even sensitive parts like thyroid & Thymus glands. Speaking of the Thymus Gland, in relation to the Thyroid, there could very well be a connection with especially the autoimmunity. Any toxin like Fluoride, zenobiotic, parasite, or infection in the Thymus Gland will produce immune dysfunction of many types as the Thymus is "the brain" of the immune system. For starters, one should use a Refrigerator Magnet on both these glands and also do a "tapping" with a fingertip to both heal & stimulate these glands back to normal.

I would like to know if there are any known issues with the following remedies. More specifically, if they would interact/hinder each other.
Borax, sodium thiosulfate, turpentine, methylene blue, lugol's iodine, trisodium phosphate. I guess I should add in my thyroid medication Armor.
My current regiment is to take Borax M-Th as told by Ted 1/8 tsp. First thing in the morning I'll take 1 drop of 2.3% MB - that gets put into a cup and mixed with 1000mg of ascorbic acid. Fr-Sun I'll take 12-30mg of Lugol's. No MB on those days, or if I do, I put 12 hours between them.
TSP I'll take after work, 1 oz of a solution (1/2 tsp in liter water).
I plan on taking STS and turpentine on different days since they are so powerful. Perhaps Saturday and Wednesday nights before bed.
Anyone see any issues with this? I also take sodium bicarb after lunch and dinner.

Carbon filters cannot remove fluoride. You need ideally acess to a spring or to install a reverse osmosis water filter in your home if you live in a fluoridated community. I highly recomend you try to get fluoride out of your water at the local level.
