Autoimmune Disease A Leading Cause of Death in Women
The most common cause of thyroid disease is autoimmune. The response of the body's immune system turning on its own cells. Now researchers have concluded that autoimmune disease may be the 8th leading cause of death in women ages 15 to 64.

Betty Davis Eyes… (Part I)
TED (thyroid eye disease) affects approximately 50% of people with Graves' Disease, but did you know it can also affect those with Hashimotos thyroiditis. The same antibodies in autoimmune thyroid disease that attack the thyroid can also attack the tissues around the eyes causing symptoms from redness and irritation to bulging and disfigurement.

Staying Healthy
For those of us with autoimmune disease, staying healthy can be a challenge. Often, our already mixed up immune systems have trouble defending us against the hoards of virus and bacteria bombarding our skins. Once one of them breaches our defenses, it can be very hard to route out again.
