Stuff that has evidence and study behind them no diet mentioned
Our thyroids need iodine. Insufficient iodine in the diet can impact the thyroid, which in turn impacts a person's health. Many things in our environment and medical choices can impact the thyroid. A malfunctioning thyroid or a body that doesn't respond to the thyroid hormone can be overlooked. Cases can be from mild to very severe. See
Broda O. Barnes research.
According to
Dr. Mark Starr, some people who have thyroid hormone replacement still need iodine supplementation or detoxification of the body.
Dr. Mark Starr and Dr. Broda Barnes did have success in halting auto immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus by treating the patients malfunctioning thyroid with desiccated thyroid.

So how do scientists treat autoimmune desieases ????? Diet that boosts the immunesystem????
Doctors treat auto immune diseases, not scientists. There are various kinds of immunosuppressive drugs, but diet still plays a part in the persons health. We have to eat.
Autoimmune Disease: DietFor patients diagnosed with autoimmune disease, the most reliable treatment is suppressing the immune system in such a way that it stops attacking the body's cells and tissues. This can be achieved with immunosuppressive medications. Also, depending upon the autoimmune disease symptoms, the doctor may prescribe other therapeutic drugs for alleviating the painful signs. In addition, keeping yourself healthy and energized with good foods is a part of the treatment. This is where, autoimmune disease diet comes to the picture. Dietary guidelines for patients diagnosed with this hereditary condition are explained below. ...
By now, you might have understood how autoimmune disease and diet are related to each other. The objective for following autoimmune disease diet is to maintain a healthy body and support the impaired immune system in managing the disease symptoms. In other words, a healthy diet with lots of anti-inflammatory and non-allergenic food items is beneficial for clinical improvement and speedy recovery of the patients.
Proper nutrition can be part of a treatment program. It isn't an all or nothing issue. Ultimately we should always need proper nutrition, but sometimes we need drugs for added help. Depends on the disease and the person.
There are foods and drugs that can adversely impact the thyroid as well as help the thyroid. It is best to know which ones are good and which are not. A diet that works well for one person, may not work as well for another. The same with drugs and treatments.
One size doesn't necessarily fit all. It can get a bit tricky trying to find the right combination.
So you really can't say that nutrition is not part of an autoimmune disease treatment. There are too many variables. Depends on the person and the disease.
