Graves Disease: Vinegar, Butterfly Squash (butternut Squash), and Raspberry is an Alternative suggested treatment

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder, which means that your immune

system attacks healthy tissues in your body. This happens because The thyroid,

which is a butterfly-shaped gland, overproduces.

Graves’ disease is triggered by a process in the body’s immune system, which normally protects us from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. The immune system destroys foreign invaders with substances called antibodies produced by blood cells known as lymphocytes. Sometimes the immune system can be tricked into making antibodies that cross-react with proteins on our own cells. In many cases these antibodies can cause destruction of those cells.


Alternative suggested treatment for help manage Graves Disease:

Vinegar, Butterfly Squash (butternut Squash), and Raspberry:


-Squash

Cruciferous vegetables: While some cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage

contain goitrogens, which can potentially interfere with thyroid function by affecting

iodine uptake, consuming them in moderation and especially cooking them typically

minimizes any potential negative effects. Most research suggests including brassica

vegetables in the daily diet, accompanied by adequate iodine intake, doesn't pose

adverse effects on thyroid function.

Iodine intake: Maintaining adequate iodine intake is crucial for thyroid health,

but excessive intake, particularly through supplements, can be harmful. While squash

itself is not typically a significant source of iodine, some products like seaweed are very

rich in iodine and should be consumed with caution if you have thyroid issues.

-Raspberries:

“Antioxidants are great, because they reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body,

which can help autoimmune diseases,” Kennedy explains. Plus, these foods “generally just make you feel better and make your

body function better,” she adds.

One food group that’s particularly high in antioxidants? Berries, including blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.[12]
