Hyperthyroidism is a problem that occurs when the thyroid gland overproduces
thyroid hormone, resulting in
an overactive metabolic state. All of the body's functions may speed up with
this disease. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include nervousness,
irritability, a constant feeling of being hot, increased perspiration, insomnia
and fatigue, increased frequency of bowel movements, less frequent
menstruation and decreased menstrual flow, weakness, hair
loss, weight loss, change in skin thickness, separation of the nails
from the nail bed, hand tremors, intolerance of heat, rapid heartbeat, goiter,
and, sometimes, protruding eyeballs. Hyperthyroidism is sometimes also
called "thyrotoxicosis". The most common type of this disorder
is Grave's disease, which affects over 2.5
million in just the United States alone
The thyroid gland is the body's internal thermostat. It regulates the
temperature by secreting two hormones that control how quickly the body
burns calories and uses energy. If the thyroid secretes too much hormone,
hyperthyroidism results; too little hormone results in hypothyroidism.
Many cases of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are believed to result
from an abnormal immune response. The exact cause is not understood, but
the immune system can produce antibodies that invade and attack the thyroid,
disrupting hormone production. Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by lumps
or tumors that form on the thyroid and disrupt hormone production.
Infection or inflammation of the thyroid can cause temporary
hyperthyroidism, as can certain prescription drugs. Hyperthyroidism is not as
common as hypothyroidism. Both of these thyroid
disorders affect women more often than men. A malfunctioning thyroid can be
the underlying cause of many recurring illnesses.

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
