Outside of conventional belief, Graves Disease can actually be reversed giving you your health back. However, you must go beyond traditional medicine to find a way that will completely reverse this condition.

It is believed that Graves is activated by certain situations, within the body’s immune system, which is originally designed to keep us from foreign invaders that come in the form of bacteria or viruses. The immune system is specially designed to eliminate the threat of invaders by the way of antibodies which are derived from blood cells known as lymphocytes

It’s widely believed that Graves Disease is a condition of the immune system that is faulty. The lymphocytes produce antibodies, which in Graves, the lymphocytes make antibodies that stimulates them. These antibodies get bound to the surface of the thyroid cells and cause them to over produce the thyroid hormones.

With no known remedy to eliminate Graves, doctors will chose certain treatment based on the age of the patient and the level of hyperthyroidism you may have. The prescribed treatment also considers the severity of the disease and other medical problems. In the case of Graves symptoms, the smartest first step will be to talk it over with someone that specializes in Graves

With no cure, doctors will primarily prescribe the most common drugs known as antithyriod agents. These primarily consist of propylthiouracil or methimazole. This particular method of treatment blocks the thyroid glands ability to reproduce more thyroid hormones. But, this conventional method will only prolong the disease from coming back and does nothing in the form of a permanent remedy.

Using traditional medicine, there is no cure for Graves Disease. These conventional methods only treat the symptoms of the disease and don’t do anything to eliminate the symptoms for good.

The bottom line is, doctors really don’t know exactly what causes Graves Disease. The body is a very complex machine that can be far beyond our technological know how. Otherwise, we would be able to cure it for good. There are numerous incurable diseases that is known to man yet, with all our technology, we still cannot find a permanent cure.

Because of the complexity of our body’s, from a mechanism prospective, I strongly suggest that we find ways to focus on providing our body’s the necessary tools to fix these incurable diseases so that we can eliminate Graves disease symptoms for good.

Genital Herpes still carries somewhat of a social stigma and it may not be something one freely shares with friends. The fact is that Genital Herpes is quite common with approximately one million new cases per year in the uS alone.

Being diagnosed with Genital Herpes can be a real shock for many. Emotions of feeling unclean, shame, and less worthy are common.

The statistics show that if you are diagnosed with herpes, or if you think you may be, you have a lot of company. Take a look at these statistics:

In the United States about 20% of the adult population are infected with genital herpes. Somewhere around 50 million Americans. Breaking the statistics down, the rate for women is about one in four, and for men it is one in five.

It is the most prevalent viral sexually transmitted disease. Of all these millions of cases, only about 20% are aware, or have been diagnosed with herpes. That means that 80% of those infected with the herpes virus are possibly infecting their partners.

Combining the fact that most do not know that they are infected, with another fact, that the disease can be transmitted even in the absence of symptoms, and it is easy to see how it can spread so rapidly.

Once the initial episode has passed, not everyone will ever have an outbreak again. For those infected with HSV-2, about 80% will have additional outbreaks, and those infected with the HSV-1 will have a 50% risk of having additional episodes. Typically, the number of outbreaks is about 4-5 per year.

While it can be tempting to self diagnose, using pictures found on the internet as a comparison, Herpes should be diagnosed by an experienced clinician utilizing proper testing.
