If you’re just joining my thyroid healing journey, you might want to check out my two other posts:  [Healing My Thyroid Post 1:  The Diagnosis]( https://steemit.com/health/@peggyhazelwood/healing-my-thyroid-post-1-the-diagnosis) and [Healing My Thyroid Post 2:  Discovering the Book Thyroid Healing by Anthony William](https://steemitstage.com/health/@peggyhazelwood/healing-my-thyroid-part-2-discovering-the-book-thyroid-healing-by-anthony-william). It’s not mandatory but it gives some background information.

I referred to this book on healing your thyroid, [Medical Medium Thyroid Healing by Anthony William]( http://amzn.to/2EmyD08) (that’s my Amazon affiliate link, by the way). 
In this post, I’ll discuss the foods William’s says to avoid to help heal your thyroid or more to the point, to help heal a weak immune system in general.

## Foods to Avoid for a Healthy Thyroid

In the book Thyroid Healing, William says some foods that normally are just fine to eat are not okay to eat when you’re trying to fix a thyroid issue. William says that people with thyroid problems have a thyroid virus.

To heal this thyroid virus here are the foods he says to avoid and a short explanation of why. (NOTE:  these explanations are mine from what I read in the book. Please read the book yourself for the full reasons to avoid these foods.)

Avoid eggs because the thyroid virus feeds off them.

Dairy is the second food source that the virus thrives on.

Gluten should be avoided because it fuels pathogens.

Canola oil also fuels the thyroid virus.

Corn has many chemicals like pesticides and herbicides that can further damage the thyroid.

Soy, like corn, contains pesticides and herbicides that can cause damage.

Pork (yes, bacon!) is a no-no for fixing your thyroid because of its high fat content and the fact that pork fat takes longer to be released into the bloodstream so it stays around longer. This is not a good thing.

## What? No Bacon?

When I read that pork was off limits I was sad.  

But the more I read, the more examples I found of people who healed their thyroid symptoms through diet and other natural means that he recommended. 

So, I have been cutting out some of these foods little by little. I honestly can’t eliminate dairy all the time. I love yogurt and cheese, but I’ve cut back hoping that will help along with adding foods that are considered to be healthy. 
I’ve also been eating more foods on the list of foods William says help the thyroid to be healthy again. I’ll talk about some of those foods in the next post.
