Publisher's Synopsis
Today, the silent epidemic of thyroid disease is not only a universal phenomenon but also a reflection of how people have lost their collective voice. Silence and powerlessness go hand in hand. When we suppress our ability to speak our truth, we manifest it in the physical. Women are ten times more likely than men to be diagnosed with thyroid disease, of which 80 percent is autoimmune. Yet, most of us have no idea about the thyroid, its needs, or how we got here. What is happening?
Autoimmunity exits when the body decides that healthy cells are foreign invaders and mounts an attack against itself. In this unfortunate case of "friendly fire," our bodies become reluctant victims of our environment and our choices-from the foods we eat to the thoughts we think. The attack of Self defines the Age of Victimhood. We are the cause of our disease. Victimhood is not only a state of dependency but also a wake-up call.
This book connects the dots between science and intuition to answer the question of how we find full healing. There is no reason to accept the status quo of "living with thyroid disease" when you can heal yourself by coming into balance. Because balance is found in Nature, a return to Nature for real food is as important as a return to the heart for speaking truth.
The power to heal is a choice to be responsible to yourself. In autoimmune disease, the moment you stop attacking yourself is the moment antibodies cease to exist. When you focus attention to healing vs. disease you begin to replenish your reserves. If you don't invest in yourself, who will? If you don't love and respect yourself, why should anyone else? As soon as you decide to love yourself, you claim your inheritance as a healer. If I was able to reverse thyroid disease naturally, so can you.
