Yellow Palms and Feet - I may have hypothyroidism

Have you noticed that yellow palms, feet or cheeks? Maybe you are more tired than normal or perhaps have cramping or even weight gain?

You may be suffering from a condition known as hypothyroidism. This disorder is a reduction of thyroid function and it can wreak havoc on you. Besides the symptoms noted above, there are many other symptoms, however, most people typically suffer from only a few of the symptoms, not all of them.

Currently, it is believed that hypothyroidism is caused by...

1. Liver weakness and/or stress
2. Estrogens and other estrogen-like substances that can form from some plastics and other substances in the environment.
3. Polyunsaturated oils
4. Radiation
5. Fluoride
6. Too much or too little iodine
7. Mercury poisoning
8. Nutritional deficiencies
9. Central hypothyroidism which can be caused by certain types of infection, stress or a deficiency of sleep.

Depending on your cause of hypothyroidism, there are many forms of treatment. In many cases, don't be surprised if prescription medication doesn't cure you. Often times you need to make significant changes to your diet as well as take natural remedies to finally rid yourself of the worst symptoms.

Wishing you all the best,
