As I've said before autoimmune disorders have toxicity origins: typically heavy metals. The immune system does not just attack itself, it is pushed into doing so and western medicine refuses to acknowledge the role toxins and metals play in causing these ailments.
- Fatigue and sluggishness
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Constipation
- Pale, dry skin
- A puffy face
- Brittle nails
- Hair loss
- Enlargement of the tongue
- Unexplained weight gain
- Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Muscle weakness
- Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
- Depression
- Memory lapses
Every single one of these doubles as a symptom of heavy metal toxicity and in particular mercury toxicity. Given this information it should be no surprise that people with Hashimoto's often have other similar conditions such as RA or Lupus.
Your thyroid needs iodine to produce its hormones. In fact, your thyroid is exceptionally good at absorbing any available iodine in your body. Unfortunately for your thyroid, mercury and iodine are chemically very similar to each other, so your thyroid is quick to absorb and store mercury too. This creates a two-fold problem for your thyroid. First, if your thyroid is storing mercury in place of iodine, it won't have enough iodine to produce adequate levels of T4 and T3 hormones, which can cause you to develop hypothyroidism. Second, it puts you at risk of developing an autoimmune disease. No one knows exactly how heavy metals like mercury lead to autoimmune disease, but research has shown a demonstrated link between the two, including a 2011 study that found that women with high mercury exposure were more than twice as likely to have thyroid antibodies.
That study is here:

One proposed reason for why this happens is that mercury damages the cells of your thyroid gland (as well as other cells in your body) so much that your immune system can no longer recognize these thyroid cells as self cells. Another prevailing theory is that your immune system goes on high alert to get rid of the mercury, and this chronic state of inflammation stresses your immune system so much that it starts attacking your whole thyroid.
Detoxing Mercury is Imperative to Begin Recovery
- Advanced TRS removes heavy metals and any other toxins with a positive charge.
- It's a nano zeolite detox solution.
- It's an oral mist which is tasteless and safe for babies, kids, pregnant woman and nursing moms.
- It can be used by folks with amalgams.
- It is recommended to use for a least 6 months (or 6 bottles - whichever is earlier) to see significant results.
- 5 sprays a day - twice a day; 2 in the morning, 3 at night.

Natural Ways to Heal your Thyroid Along with Heavy Metal Detoxing
- One of the symptoms of hypothyroidism that people hardly ever complain about is a lack of sweating or reduced sweating. Unfortunately, when we don't sweat enough, we lose the benefit of getting rid of toxins through our sweat. You should try to sweat on a daily basis. Detox baths (add one cup of Epson Salts to your tub), and sauna therapy will be very helpful.
- Go grain free! All grains can irritate the thyroid when you're struggling with thyroid disease, so it's best to completely avoid them. When grains enter the body, they cause the insulin levels in the blood to rise. When they're eaten in excess over time, the body becomes overtaxed, and eventually the excessive grains cause inflammation in the body.
- Add selenium! Selenium protects the thyroid gland in Hashimoto's. Once the metals are detoxed and selenium levels are acceptable then add in the iodine.
- Hypothyroid Self Test: Upon awakening, without rising, place thermometer under your armpit and hold for 15 minutes. A temperature of 97.6 degrees or lower may indicate Hypothyroidism.
- Eat egg yolks unless high cholesterol, molasses, parsley, apricots, dates, prunes, fish, and chicken. Limit red meat.
