Hi
Just a follow up to my newbie post, some interesting studies on smoking and thyroid problems:
Smoking and autoimmune thyroid disease: the plot thickens
eje.org/content/154/6/777.full
- Smoking appears to help with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, but not Grave's hyperthyroidism.
Anatabine ameliorates experimental autoimmune thyroiditis.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22807490
- Anatabine is an alkaloid found in tobacco & other deadly nightshades - not found in nicotine replacement therapy.
And the patient advocacy site with some info and patient experience:
stopthethyroidmadness.com/2008/10/14/smoking-and-adrenal-fatigue/
apologies, can't post links yet.
Cheers
