Did  you  know?  

•  90%  of  hypothyroidism  in  the  US  is  caused  by  Hashimoto’s  Disease  and  hyperthyroidism  by  Graves’  Disease  

•  Hashimoto’s  and  Graves’  are  autoimmune  disorders,  not  thyroid  diseases    

•  It’s  not  your  thyroid  that  originally  failed,  it’s  your  immune  system    

•  Even  if  you  have  no  thyroid,  you  need  to  take  care  of  your  immune  system    

•  Hashimoto’s  seldom  stops  here,  it  becomes  another  autoimmune  disorder
