BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a combined supplementation with @entity1760 , @entity4259 and @entity7447 on the morphology of the thyroid in @entity1 with benign diseases. The clinical examination and treatment approach aims additionally at treating @entity85 . METHODS: A group of 8 @entity1 (5 with @entity1378 , 3 with @entity1375 ) who initially attended a public institution received additional treatment at our private institution. The basic pharmacological treatment, i.e. substitution or thyreostatic, was kept unchanged. The inclusion of @entity1 required good quality ultrasound images to be available. RESULTS: Initially the changes of the musculoskeletal system were corrected. Following this, stress components were also treated. After a period of 2-4  years of supplementation we observed a normalization of thyroid morphology as evidenced on ultrasound while at the same time there was a reduction of perfusion intensity. Thyroid antibody titers decreased in the majority of cases. Failure of the treatment was seen in 2 cases of @entity10972 that was present for more than 10  years. The ultrasound images of these @entity1 suggest a possible @entity82 . CONCLUSIONS: In spite of the limitation due to the small number of cases, our observational study has delivered proof of concept for our examination and treatment model for @entity1374 . GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Our results challenge validity of the prevailing dogma of a destructive unstoppable "autoimmune" destructive process of the gland. At the same time it shows new therapeutic options for @entity1 with @entity1374 .
