Thyroid Healing Setbacks and Forward Gains – the good, the bad and the not so pregnant

I wanted to share this comparison photo as an example of how any healing journey can have setbacks, but in particular the powerful effects that a thyroid can have on your body when it is not functioning properly. But also how quickly it can turn around with the right awareness, decisions and care.

After having a reasonably smooth weaning process off my thyroid medication (T4 and T3 hormones), the two weeks that followed I experienced both hyperthyroid and then hypothyroid symptoms. The hyperthyroid symptoms were waking early 4am/5am and being wide awake, lots of energy, puffy eyes, mood swings and some muscle weakness. This was caused from my liver getting rid of any excess medication it had stored over almost a 20 year period.

Then after about a week I noticed I was experiencing more hypothyroid symptoms: more puffy eyes, more muscle weakness (couldn’t brush my teeth without resting my arm from lactic acid buildup), still waking early but getting tired around 4pm, moodiness, swollen and stiff hands and feet, puffy face, constipation, bloated, feeling cold, very dry skin (hands were like sand paper), no weight loss despite eating extremely healthy through my cleanse process (lots of fruit, veggies and protein), and easily bruising, ie massaging my back then having bruises. Most of these things are reflected in the left-hand side photo of me.

Why was I experiencing such severe symptoms? After being on medication for almost 20 years, the trial and error weaning process was too quick for my body to cope with. Basically the Epstein-Barr Virus was having a feeding frenzy from all the abnormal hormonal effects after coming off the medication, my immune system went into overdrive, which all contributed to the symptoms but especially the inflammation in my hands and feet, and swollen neck. There is still too much virus embedded in my thyroid to allow for normal function just yet without some medication support.

The photo on the left was posted on Facebook and I received many queries about whether I was pregnant 😂😜 I even said to Adam who posted the photo, that I looked pregnant and people would think I was! Adam took the photo down for me but I decided to use it as a comparison in my health journey.

The extremes of thyroid function/dysfunction can be seen in the above photo comparison where only two days later, I was doing much better, reflected in the right-hand side picture. I made the decision to put myself back on the active T3 medication. I also used specific essential oils to help support my thyroid and I had been applying extra ASEA Renu signalling cell gel on my neck to support my natural immune system.

Conclusion? I have had great results so far doing the Medical Medium’s Thyroid Healing Cleanse. I will continue with it, and going back on the medication will allow more time for the Cleanse process to do it’s job. I am more than aware that after having thyroid disease (caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus stage 3) for almost 20 years, I am not going to be healed over night and it could take 12-18 months at least to see normal function. Weaning off the medication was an unknown process of how it would affect me, so now I know, I will now take a lot longer to wean off the active T3 hormone, in conjunction with my GP’s advice, to give the healing foods I’m eating and drinking more time to do it’s job to starve viral cells then flush out dead virus corpse cells, and heal the damage that’s been caused over a very long period of time.

Aim? If I can eliminate EBV by at least 90% from my body, and heal my thyroid to normal function, the medication should no longer be needed, but only more time will tell.

Have you had any experiences with the Medical Medium’s Thyroid Healing Cleanse? Or weaning off thyroid medication? Or healing yourself from a chronic illness using natural means? Please share it with me, I’d love to hear your journey and results!!
