The frequent reports of strong connections between an allergic condition and the appearance of thyroidism (Hashimoto or Graves) points out the possibility of treating thyroidism by acting upon immune inflammation by way of modulating natural medicines and remedies not to mention the important action of diet and nutritional planning.
The first evidence of this connection came to light when it became clear that people who suffered from respiratory allergies and who were already affected by some sort of thyroidism, showed decidedly increased anti-thyroglobulin or anti-thyroperoxide (anti-thyroperoxidase) anti bodies during the spring.
This data is interesting because immunology usually made a distinct differentiation between autoimmune organ pathologies (autoimmune thyroidism) and respiratory allergies as if they pertained to two different people. This study, performed by Japanese researchers and published in International Archives of Allergy and Immunology (Takeoka K et al, Int Arch Allergy Immunol 2003 Nov;132(3):268-76), gave evidence of this significant increase in antibodies simply caused by contact with typical spring period allergens
The interesting annotation brought to light by this study is that the allergic activation (which is TH2 related) contemporarily caused the increase in the intensity of anti-thyroid and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies as well as an increase in eosinophil count.
This confirms the important connection between allergy (apparently limited to the nose!) and the immune state of the entire body.
In 2007 the Hungarian scientist Molnàr presented a noteworthy review on the relationship between allergic condition, IgE level and inflammatory cytokines and the development of thyroidism.
This isn't a new discovery for Eurosalus. However, occasionally we need to remind those who believe that treating allergy or autoimmunity is simply a question to be resolved with symptomatic medicine that it's a problem based on the general balance of the entire body. The act of nutritional intervention is one of today's most effective instruments for treating thyroidism: whether through the study of delayed food allergies (intolerances) or by way of active insulin-regulating diets.
