Long-Term Work Stress Contributed To Hyperthyroidism

I used to think that money was everything. To make more money, I didn’t mind sacrificing my health. I worked 16 hours a day while others worked only 8 hours. That was why I could start my own business when I was 14.

During the period when my health began to falter, I was trying to boost my business and open a new factory, so I worked especially long hours. I usually got home very late, at 10 or 11 p.m. I continued to live this life, which included lack of sleep, accumulated stress and negative emotions. Then, suddenly, my heart started beating very fast. I was out of breath and couldn’t eat, which tortured me. I couldn’t sleep. I also began to lose weight, dropping from 80 kilograms down to 67.5. The doctor said it was because I had a goiter [enlarged thyroid], which was caused by a hormonal imbalance. I was prescribed some medicine.

Neither Increasing The Dosage Nor Changing Doctors Brought Relief

Initially, I only took one pill a day, and it didn’t work. The doctor increased my dosage during the follow-up visit, but it was to no avail. So, I turned to another doctor who made me undergo a blood test again. He only found that I had a hormonal imbalance and increased my medication dosage. My record was taking 12 pills a day, but it did not stop my health from declining. Every night around 7 o’clock, I felt an extreme cold inside my body. My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn’t even make a fist. I broke out in a cold sweat continuously so I had to change my clothes at least five times a day. It’s still scary to think about that feeling.

Hyperthyroidism Led To The Inability To Work

At that time, I really felt lost in life. I couldn’t eat or sleep. 3 months later, I even couldn’t go to the factory. I started thinking: I worked hard for so many years, what was the purpose of my life? Was money really that important to me? I had not given up on myself. Frankly speaking, I have experienced many ups and downs and challenges, and I overcame all of them. I believed this was no exception, and miracles could happen again.

After Only 1 Day At The Health & Happiness Retreat, There Was Clear Improvement

There was an 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat at that time, so I asked my friend to sign me up. I couldn’t listen to what they said at the retreat because I hadn’t slept or eaten well for three months. When I practiced The Meditation of Greater Illumination and raised my hands, I shook hard. Then a miracle happened. After the 1st day of the retreat, I could sleep well without taking sleeping pills and had no dreams. I slept even better than when I was healthy. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down and woke up in the morning. At that time, the experienced practitioners in the meditation center told me that practicing The Meditation of Greater Illumination could improve my appetite, but I didn’t believe it. Later, I believed it, as I developed a good appetite.

Meditation Helped To Improve Hyperthyroidism Significantly

Meditation includes a complete set of practices. The Meditation of Greater Illumination improved my thyroid condition significantly. It improved my business, my health and my family, and it also eliminated my stress. What I did was very simple, I just practiced The Meditation of Greater Illumination! Bodhi Meditation has changed my life, given me rebirth, and helped me realize that nothing is more meaningful than making myself healthy and the whole family happy.
