in reply to: Thyroid Eye Disease question #1074079

I’ve never heard of anyone suggesting they could "cure" TED. It is an autoimmune disease, and that is THE mousetrap that the medical community is trying to invent right now. If it were true that an autoimmune disease had a CURE, we would be hearing it loud and clear from all quarters of the globe. Waiting it out could produce the same before/after pictures, so I would not presume that the claims are 100% accurate.

Thank you for your reply. It has been very scarey thru all this and anyone who can help me learn what is going on I greatly appreciate it. I thought I would go ahead and let you know that after I spoke with a doctor in my area who had a testimonial on the website I mentioned as well as his patient who went thru this "cure", I have decided to go ahead and try it. It is homeopathic supplements but I will not come off my levothyroxine. As for autoimmune diseases I know scientists are starting to make giant leaps and bounds with even a possible cure for diabetes thru surgery. I will be more than happy to let every one know when I start and my progess thru the process. Please pray for me. I should mention that the Dr. in India claims this is not a cure for G.D. and the maintaining of the proper thyroid hormone levels are very important.

As for the patient who did this treatment, he was afflicted with TED for many years and his proptosis before he started the treatment was at 30. Today he says he is at 24 and even though he still has prisms for double vision, they are minimul and he can rotate his eye (didn’t ask which one or both for the proptosis) 30 degrees but anymore than that he will have slight double vision. He said the first treatment (3 months) he didn’t notice any real change, and did the 2nd treatment. After which he saw a dramatic change so he finished with a 3rd treatment with even more change until it tapered off and the Dr in India concluded his eyes probably wouldn’t get any better than they already have. He did try the steriods years before and they did nothing but make him gain weight and a couple of things that I didn’t write down. He did not have radiation nor the orbital decompression, however he did have surgery on his eye lids. He also mentioned the only thing today he does is use eye drops but he said that was probably more for his age (he is in his 60’s). I also asked if he had any side effects and he told me no except that his brittle nails improved. Even today all is well and he did this this in 2004 (I think)
