LDN bij schildklieraandoeningen, info van Elaine Moore
Geplaatst: dinsdag 05 april 2011 - 16:44LDN and Thyroid Function
To date, although there is a limited amount of anecdotal information, there are no formal studies of LDN in autoimmune thyroid disease.
In other autoimmune diseases, LDN has been shown to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. In addition, studies of endorphins, show that beta endorphins increase antibody production when antibody production is low and decrease antibody production when it’s excessive. It’s expected, but not proven, that the increased endorphins resulting from LDN will reduce thyroid antibody production and help induce remission in autoimmune diseases.There are no studies showing that LDN has an effect on thyroid hormone levels. In my experience, used short-term (4-5 months) for radioiodine-induced hypothyroidism, LDN has no effect on thyroid hormone levels. However, increased endorphins can cause an increased heart rate in some patients. This and other symptoms related to increased endorphins can be confused with changes in thyroid hormone levels. LDN also increases feelings of well being, and it reduces inflammation, which can reduce the size of goiters. ♦
