Thyroxine for life!

26 March, 2017

Isn’t there a permanent cure for Hyper-thyroidism?

When I asked the panel of doctors, chaired by Dr. Amal Harsha De Silva, Deputy Director General, Health Services, at the Medicare exhibition held recently at the BMICH, inter alia, whether there is any permanent cure for hyper- thyroidism, the learned doctor/pediatrician Prof Sanath Lamabadusuriya said in response that it is Thyroxine for life, and that there is no permanent cure as such, and mentioned that the drug prescribed for this hormone deficiency is very cheap.

He went on to say that all the babies, about 360,000 born annually (if I remember right) will have to undergo the relevant test for thyroid issues in the near future.

Maybe, that is true for Allopathy about the non-availability of a permanent cure, but I am writing this letter to know whether there is any permanent cure in Homoeopathy or Ayurveda or any other native medical practice.

I hope those knowledgeable on the subject will respond, on reading this mail.
