I heard about the report and immediately stopped all animal protein. I eat lots of beans and brown rice. I try to get enough protein, I started eating steel cut oats for breakfast with berries and almond milk, spinach salad at lunch and weekends
I will have hummus and tabouleh and I now saute veg in coconut oil. You do have to cook more and chopping never ends. I use lots of herbs and spices like cumin. I eat lots of olives, avacados, sweet potatoes, tomatoes.
white tea every day. This could go on and on. I eat lots and I like this better every day.
I agree and trust that NO one reading this would believe that simple diet changes alone would work for ALL cases, there are so many stages. However, I want people to try this at whatever stage and see the improvements diet can make while ALSO following doctors treatments.
I know that I used to get crazy starving hunger and that has STOPPED. I think its because I’m getting nutrients that I needed and wasn’t getting.

I was thinking today about all the things that have changed. My muscles are strong again, cramps have stopped. My eyes are normal and I do plan to get the measurements again. My skin is NOT looking old and it has the color back. Yes, even sleep is so much better and that effects my mood so much.
I understand the concerns and maybe me and co-worker are just lucky, but it really feels like I have to get this info out there. My co worker confirmed it for ME. She had also been scheduled to get a defibulator inserted, because her heart was working at only 45%. When she was tested it had improved to 56% and they told her she wouldn’t have to do it. I don’t think she been as hardcore as I had been and she still improved sooo much.

Oh, I found the book by C. Campbell PHD in June of this year. (Pres Clinton found this book in March and he is now vegan, you may have seen that news.) I didn’t lose weight the way he did.

Hi, I had to have the radiation treatment in 2000. Then in2007 I had the eye problems and that is hard to deal with. At that time I had antibodies that were at 350 and I was told they need to be around 125, with no suggestions on how to do this. So I would go and every 6 months to get blood work and it did seem to be coming down, but if it didn’t get down lower I would have to have radiation again. Then I heard about giving up animal protein and WOW. Within one week my eye stopped the pulling sensation. In about six weeks it was time for blood tests, and I was told that everything was normal. The antibodies were exactly where the doctor wanted them.
I can tell you that I have loved eating this way and I find that my eating habits are still improving. My sisters and I got together at a beach house and cooked all weekend so we learned and shared lots of great ideas on making wonderful dishes, like French potato salad that uses Olive oil not mayo.
I also have a co-worker who was set to have radiation, but she refused because she had recently gone through breast cancer. She started eating lunch with me (Spinach SALADS) we have a great salad bar at the cafeteria. Anyway when she went back to doctor to tell her she had not done the treatment, she was expecting to be scolded, but the doctor told her it was fine because her labs showed she was fine. I need to ask her if she is off of the medicine for the Graves. She no longer shakes and is happier than I’ve seen her.
Please give this a try. I’m so happy about this, and I know I will always have graves. The book is pretty dry, you could read chapter on auto immune first, the book explains how we are these special people who develop a antibody that fights our own body. I wish you the best also! Lori

I have had Graves since 2000 and recently feel cured. I read "The China Study" and changed my eating. Within six weeks my bloodwork showed antibodies were normal. I also had Thyroid eye disease and that began changing around one week. People tell me that my eyes look normal now and they feel soooo much better. (I had both lid lag and exophthalmos.)
I find this new way of eating to be great. I will never go back. I eat no animal protein, because like the book states, my body thinks it is a foreign substance and goes into attack mode. Organ recipients always have to go on medication because of the same type problem the body fights the foreign protein.
It has now been 5 months since I’ve changed eating and I truly feel cured. My doctor was very happy for me and told me to come back in four months and if labs are still asgood then I will probably only see her once a year. I will see her again Dec 8th.
I am so happy that my sister told me about this book. I feel so lucky to have this answer and happy to share this. I hope you will give it a try. The book says to try it for a month.
We are having fun coming up with recipes and even Thanksgiving was easy. Yes, I cooked a turkey for son/husband and I made vegan dressing that was wonderful. They put gravy on it, I didn’t.
