Take It Outside Of Traditional Ways To Stomp Out Graves Condition

By Ricardo Mendez

Outside of conventional belief, Graves Disease can actually be reversed giving you your health back. However, you must go beyond traditional medicine to find a way that will completely reverse this condition.

It is commonly known that Graves Disease is prompted due to certain circumstances, within the body's immune system, which was designed to ward off foreign invaders known as bacteria or viruses. Our immune system was specially designed to rid the body of foreign invaders using antibodies which are created by blood cells called lymphocytes.

It is generally believed that Graves is a product of an immune system gone bad. The lymphocytes make antibodies, and in Graves, the lymphocytes make antibodies against their own tissues that damage them. In Graves, antibodies bind to the surface of thyroid cells and stimulate those cells to over produce the thyroid hormones. Hence, an overactive thyroid.

There's currently no specific treatment for Graves however, your doctor may chose a treatment based on your age and type of hyperthyroidism you may have. The treatment also is determined by the severity of your condition and other medical conditions you may have. In the case of Graves, you should find a physician who specializes in Graves Disease.

There is no real solution to this condition but, there are some common drugs that are prescribed to treat the symptoms. They are known as antithyroid agents. These drugs are effective at blocking the thyroid gland from producing more thyroid hormones. Being the case, this particular treatment, with pharmaceutical drugs, only addresses the symptoms and does nothing to eliminate the condition for good.

Using traditional medicine, there is no cure for Graves Disease. These conventional methods only treat the symptoms of the disease and don't do anything to eliminate the symptoms for good.

The simple matter here is, that doctors just don't know exactly what causes the disease. The body is, in essence, a very sophisticated machine that is beyond our technological know how to fix. There are many incurable diseases known to man and, with all our technological wonders, we simply cannot find a way to cure them. Being that these diseases cannot be cured, we continue to produce large quantities of very expensive prescription drugs that only deal with the symptoms.

Because of the complexity of our body's, from a mechanism prospective, I strongly suggest that we find ways to focus on providing our body's the necessary tools to fix these incurable diseases so that we can eliminate Graves disease symptoms for good.
