Myco-therapy for Thyroid Disorders

This document discusses the seminar on mycotherapy and thyroid dysfunctions. It describes the thyroid gland, its functioning, and the different pathologies such as hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It explains how mycotherapy with mushrooms like reishi and cordyceps can help modulate the immune response and treat the symptoms of these diseases.

III Seminar on Myco-therapy

Reishi and thyroid dysfunctions

Ponentes: Catalina Fdz de Ana Portela y Beatriz Angulo


Thyroid gland

The thyroid produces two hormones:


Thyroxine or T4 and the
Triiodothyronine or T3

they regulate the metabolism rate


they affect growth,
regulation of oxygen consumption
Thermal regulation

The thyroid also secretes a


hormone called
calcitonin, which decreases the
calcium and phosphorus levels in the
blood and inhibit reabsorption
that is to say of these ions.

Causes:

since our diet is rich in iodine)

Increase of stimulating hormone of the

increase in size.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Signs and tests

The laboratory tests to determine the functioning


of the thyroid include:

T4 free exam (low)


Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (high)
T3 (low or normal)
Antithyroid autoantibodies: Ab-Anti peroxidase and Ab-antithyroglobulin

Conventional treatment

Thyroid hormone replacement.


Levothyroxine, (L-thyroxine), synthetic pharmaceutical form
It must be provided for life.
Mycotherapy in thyroid dysfunctions

Autoimmune thyroid dysfunctions:


Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hypothyroidism)
Graves-Basedow disease (Hyperthyroidism)

Through Mycotherapy, in both cases:


Exacerbated response modulation by the immune system

THs: Ab-thyroglobulin; Ab-peroxidase. We favor the

The modulation of the immune system in both cases results in a
