Yes to all of this, and as someone who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and has been able to drop their antibodies and regulate -- I want to add something this article did not include under the section of ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS:
If someone wants to not drunk fluoride in their water (no one should) they should also avoid buildings with toxic molds and mycotoxins, as they are directly linked to thyroid dis-ease, especially Hashimoto's.
Most people are living with it and have no idea. It's normal to have SOME of these species in your home unfortunately (due to modern building practices) but one should not be living in a biohazard, and often it takes years (if at all) for a person to discover it since 90 percent of mold is hidden.
Here's a few studies that link mycotoxins to thyroid diseases:
Dr. Andrew Campbell (his talks can be found for free on YouTube at MyMycoLab) talks about this and many other effects extensively.
Thank you for this article, I'd never heard of the usage of black seed. Although I heavily co-sign her usage of non-pharmaceuticals, non-supplements and yoga + nature.. seems to be the best physicians of all, especially the Sun!
I'm going to try the black seed powder, will grind the seeds (which I have) in a coffee grinder & add to my morning shake. I have Global Healing Black Seed Oil, but I have a harder time taking the oil, due to the consistency. I think I'll do better with the powder. I have had some mold in my home, but use HEPA air purifiers & keep the humidity below 50%, so hopefully if I still have some it won't bother me.
If you are symptomatic for things associated with mold illness, I would highly suggest getting it remediated as air purifiers do not capture mycotoxins because they are too small and mold still grows & releases mycotoxins in dry / low humidity environments. I live in Colorado and we deal with it all the time out here.
I have a hard time believing the allopathic explanation that our bodies immune system attacks itself. They use it for lot's of "auto immune" conditions. God did not make mistakes with our bodies or our immune system. I do believe, we can do things to mess up our bodies functioning and our bodies immune system by certain things like toxins, vaccinations, etc. The c19 were found to wreak havoc on the body's natural functions.
From the other Steveo - the problem is when they add chemicals to our food, or pesticides/herbicides, i.e. poisons, while we’re also inundated with fluoride and bromide that mimics thyroid, and maybe parasites, maybe toxic levels of metals, then we can no longer tolerate poisoned plants and fruits. It’s a surprise we do as well as we do. Some of us may also have higher levels of poisons or toxins or whatever that’s pushed us over the edge. Yeah, so after we’ve been poisoned, what do we expect from one of the most sensitive organs in our body? FWIW I have hashis and TgAB in excess of 2200.
Btw, even “organics” have at least some level of poisons in them. Hate to tell everyone if you didn’t know, but they’re “better” than the typically grown fruits/veggies, but they still have poisons in them, unless you had an ideal harvest with no issues.
I agree, everything is poisoned and im sure it makes our body have issues, mimic certain conditions or even cause them. As much as they're spraying us in the skies, I don't believe anything is truly organic.
Yes, when my daughter was diagnosed with Lyme and EBV she had hypothyroidism. Then she recovered and didn’t need any thyroid medication. However, a few years later she was in an apartment in college that had a water leak in the ceiling and was exposed to mold. Then she developed Hashimoto’s. From avoiding gluten her TPO antibodies are low. She also drinks filtered water and takes selenium and vitamin D.
I move to Mexico, lived under the sun no more high spread temperature fluctuations my thyroid is now calm I eat better here than u ever could up North I feel much better nowadays no more thyroid pains or discomfort without drugs or further diagnostic test results. I just know.
I was diagnosed with overactive thyroid a few years ago (which I later found out was actually hashimoto, but that's another story) and haven't taken a pharmaceutical or received the recommended radioactive treatment. The fact that either was being pushed kind of blew my mind, considering I felt FINE. Long story short, I went to a naturopath and with changes to diet, taking selenium, zinc, vitamin D, B12 (although, I no longer need it) helped get my numbers all back to normal range. My TPO was over 2000 but after taking iodine and later, adding in black cumin, my number dropped to just over 100. I'm still working on that particular aspect, but overall, I feel great. Of course, I monitored my bloodwork every few month to make sure I'm on track.
You are an amazing person and resource, Sayer Ji! I learned about you in The Truth About Cancer videos and Symposium in Grapevine, Texas. I'm enjoying your teachings lately; most apply to me. Almost 25 years ago, an 'ENDochrinologist' tried putting me on Synthroid, rather than offering me healing solutions. I had to learn it myself; now I'm a Certified Functional Nutrition Coach, on zero meds. 😊
Are you/your team at the helm of GreenMedInfo? I feel like it went by the wayside for me for awhile, perhaps under someone else? At any rate, I love your work and appreciate all of the work you've put in, helping others heal when we have no where to turn. Love & Light, ❤️🙏
My ended up with Graves after she was coerced to take the jab for work (she's in allied health care) and has reversed it totally over 3 years of mainly diet related changes. Our lifestyle was always low on exposure to environmental toxins, so reduced that further where possible.
Great info, thanks so much -- will try these things & see if they will help my sluggish thyroid. On the Mitolux, I watched the presentation with the company owner, another doc & you. I ordered the unit. Upon reading through the instruction manual, however, I learned that a contra-indication is recurrent basal or squamous cell cancer...which I have. I currently have a squamous cell lesion that, if I can't resolve it naturally, will be surgically removed in a month.
I was so bummed, to not be able to use the Mitolux!! Would've been helpful for this info to have been mentioned in the presentation. Or on their website. As it was, I had to order & receive the unit, then read the instruction booklet to learn this. They did allow me to return the unit, & didn't charge the restocking fee, for which I was grateful, but it was aggravating because I didn't always hear back quickly.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention that. I REALLY wanted to use that device, as I do NOT get out in the sun much at all. The humid heat in NW Georgia is just more than I can take, & I don't have a pool. I get my Vit D from supplements, would much rather have gotten it from the Mitolux!!
I keep hearing and reading about nigella sativa and it's incredible benefits for the human body.
I actually tried using it several years ago when I was suffering a raging skin issue... Within hours after consuming it, my throat closed up to a place where I was concerned I would need to go to a hospital... fortunately, although I avoid pharmaceuticals like the plague, I did have a doctor who gave me a prescription for an antibiotic that I haven't had a bad reation to, and my throat and breathing passages opened up. I have bee afraid to even touch black seed since then and wonder if it was somehow related to something else I was using at the time. Those things were options I had used repeatedly previous to that issue, whitout any negative consequences.
Yes my hashimotos issue went away a while after I stopped eating wheat. My gut issues... which were affecting my brain... went away first. I also used coconut to heal the gut lining.
I am 75 and have been told I no longer have a thyroid. My body destroyed it from the Hashimotos. Would the black seed therapy do anything in a case like this?
This is an important discussion as thyroid disease is a perfect example of where biology is far more nuanced than the labels we often use.
As a physician-scientist, I think one of the challenges in managing chronic conditions such as autoimmune thyroid disease is that a diagnosis can sometimes become viewed as a static endpoint rather than the beginning of a deeper investigation into underlying physiology. The thyroid does not function in isolation, but it is connected with immune regulation, nutrient status, metabolism, stress physiology, and broader endocrine networks.
Autoimmune thyroid conditions, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, involve complex interactions between genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, immune signaling, and tissue-specific processes. While current therapies can effectively restore thyroid hormone levels and improve symptoms for many patients, they do not necessarily address every upstream mechanism contributing to autoimmunity. This distinction between controlling a disease manifestation and modifying disease biology is an important area of ongoing research.
At the same time, it is essential to balance hope with evidence. The idea that a condition may have modifiable contributors is encouraging, but claims of complete reversal or universal cures require rigorous clinical validation. Patients deserve both optimism and scientific honesty.
The future of medicine will likely move toward more personalized approaches; better phenotyping of autoimmune disease, earlier identification of immune dysregulation, and interventions tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Perhaps the greatest progress will come not from asking whether a disease is simply “curable” or “incurable,” but from understanding which biological pathways can be influenced, in whom, and at what stage of disease.
“foods that were never part of any pre-industrial human diet — gluten, grains, dairy, legumes, corn, and soy” - astonishingly irresponsible and dishonest claim. What a hack!!
I am concerned that the placebo used in the trial (two grams of starch) may have been a contributing factor to that group’s lack of positive results. Why wasn’t a benign placebo used?
In some of your article I see the point you are making. About legumes though not being part of the pre-industrial diet, how did they invent themselves once agriculture was prepared to put them in a garden?
“…with an explicit message that “the cause is unknown” and “there is no cure.”…
Sometimes it becomes painfully obvious that many doctors are lazy in that they never look into or consider information beyond what they were taught (mostly big pharma drug info) in school.
My sister and I, plus my best friend and her sister, and many others we have met with Hashimotos all had that “harmless” mononucleosis in college (which is related to EBV). So from what I’ve seen that is one of the causes, but with women we’re all just hypochondriacs, until properly diagnosed which is frustrating.
When my sister insisted I push my gp doctor to do antibody testing, he basically insisted that it would come back negative and that I’d pay out of pocket as a result. This was after complaining that I felt like I had arthritis in my joints after childbirth. He was WRONG.
The other issue with many endos only allowing you to use synthetic hormones is another big pharma problem. Many of us only feel “normal” once we are allowed or get our doctors to put us on natural (desiccated porcine) thyroid hormone.
I’ve done much research on it since then and always advocate for myself as to what I want and need, but I appreciate this great information given in this article because many people just take the limited information their doctors give them without question. I will need to remember to use the black seed oil and seeds that are already in my kitchen.

That too!

Selenium worked wonders for bringing my thyroid antibodies down, even when I was still living in high levels of mold.
The actual sunlight is a medication unparalleled as well.
I’m glad your daughter got better!!

Thank you I forgot the two supplements one of the doctors at Stockton Family used that cured it as well. Grateful for your writing.
