Hashimoto's protocol : a 90-day plan for reversing thyroid symptoms and getting your life back
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"More than thirty-five million Americans currently suffer from Hashimoto's--the country's fastest-growing autoimmune disease, which affects the thyroid gland and causes the body to attack its own cells. Conservative estimates state that one in five women will be affected by Hashimoto's or another thyroid disorder at some point in their lives. And many individuals who suffer the daily symptoms--including chronic cough, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, persistent pain, hair loss, brain fog, and forgetfulness--of this debilitating disease may not even be aware that they have it. Even with a proper diagnosis, conventional medicine tends to treat Hashimoto's with an ineffective prescription for a synthetic hormone, ignoring the autoimmune implications of the condition. For all who struggle with the disease, this is a life-altering mistake. There is a better way. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's at twenty-seven, pharmacist Dr. Izabella Wentz knows firsthand the effects of the disease. Drawing on her personal experience, her work with thousands of patients, and multiple years of research, Hashimoto's Protocol delivers a much-needed accessible lifestyle intervention for identifying, healing, and reversing the autoimmune damage at the root of the condition. This is the first comprehensive program of its kind and it has already helped thousands reverse symptoms in as fast as ninety days. Inside you will discover: The quick-start two-week detox, including foods to eat and inflammatory foods to avoid; liver support, adrenal recovery, and gut balance protocols; a comprehensive self-test and personalized treatment plans; delicious recipes, success stories, and more."--Dust jacket flap.
