Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most common of the autoimmune diseases affecting industrialized societies. In addition, research is demonstrating their prevalence to be rising. In an attempt to pursue this phenomenon, today we discuss new literature associating EBV and parasites with Graves’ and Hashimoto’s. In addition, we will discuss other factors which may be associated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease.

Thanks for reading the research, sharing it with the public and putting your cutting edge programs into practice. I live in Nova Scotia and have been living with a very degraded level of health for several years. I look forward to continuing to educate myself via your website and YouTube offerings and plan to seek your professional help when the timing permits. Best Wishes to both of you!
