Body attacks itself

underactive thyroid.
In many people, there
is some exposure to a
virus or other pathogen,
like Epstein-Barr virus (or
other herpes viruses),
Coxsackie virus or
Lyme disease.
Some researchers have
theorized that these viral
fragments resemble
thyroid tissue, and that is
why the immune system
attacks the thyroid after
fighting the virus.
There may also
be exposure to
environmental toxins like
mercury or bisphenol A,
and these form what are
called “neoantigens”—
new antigens made up
of the chemical plus our
own tissue.
The formation of these
neoantigens initiates an
immune response, which
may result in antibody
production against the
chemical–human tissue
hybrid. Exposure to
the chemical and the
production of antibodies
against various tissue
antigens may result in
autoimmune reactivity.
Exposure to gluten
and celiac disease can
be factors in the
development of
autoimmune thyroid
disease.1
Stress can also play a
major role in the
expression and
worsening of
autoimmune diseases
including Hashimoto’s.
In a retrospective study
published in the journal
Autoimmunity Reviews,
researchers noted that
“a high proportion
(up to 80 percent)
of patients reported
uncommon emotional
stress before disease
onset. Unfortunately,
not only does stress
cause disease, but the
disease itself also causes
significant stress in the
patients, creating a
vicious cycle.”2

Dietary treatment of deficiency
conditions involves nutrient-dense
foods and supplements that tonify
or strengthen and help the systems
and organs of the body to rebuild. A
