The systemic disease: autoimmune thyroiditis – interdisciplinary collaboration: Homeopathy – micro-immunotherapy – orthomolecular therapy

Background:

Autoimmune thyroiditis is part of a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory systemic disorder that is reaching epidemic proportions in recent years and in its course often leads to a very serious state of chronic disease. Clinically, especially dysfunctions, such as fatigue, susceptibility to infections, digestive disorders, weight problems and depressive mood are in the foreground.

In traditional medicine, there is neither a concept for pathophysiology, nor for the causal treatment of autoimmunity.

Homeopathy may, in the opinion of the speaker, Ina Chammah, often calm down the symptoms of autoimmune thyroiditis, but unfortunately has little influence on the dynamics of the underlying systemic chronic inflammation. It often happens that the patients, in spite of consistently applied homeopathic therapy, end in a thyroid hypothyroidism due to a “burned-out” thyroid and additionally develop further autoimmune chronic inflammatory processes in other organs in its course.

The authors have developed interdisciplinary therapeutic concepts to slow down the dynamics of this systemic autoimmune disease significantly, and thus avoid manifest hypothyroidism, while the patient is in good and healthy condition.

The therapeutic concept consists of the following disciplines:

Homeopathy in the sense of a “constitutional remedy” in addition to acute remedies, if necessary.

Immunological diagnosis (lymphocyte typing) for elaborating the causes of autoimmunity and the application of potentiated immune messengers to influence and modulate the immune system to restore autotolerance.

Specific orthomolecular nutritional therapy in therapeutic doses to treat mitochondrial dysfunction of the cells after concrete functional lab-diagnostic.
