Interview to The Edit magazine
After Mom and Sister Zoe had faced a chronic inflammatory thyroid disease of autoimmune genesis - the thyroiditis of Hashimoto, the attending physician of the women warned that he could be inherited. After the diagnosis of the thyroiditis of Hashimoto was made and Saldana, she told a little about what she felt when she found out about the illness:
"When I was 20 years old, I could not think that I would experience something similar. I, of course, heard the conversations of my grandmother and mother about this disease, but never seriously took their chatter. And so, on one of the visits to the doctor, I heard the phrase: "Your bones started to lose calcium. This is the onset of thyroid disease that your mother suffers. " You can not imagine what was happening to me ... I, in the full sense of the word, the earth left from under the feet. Next, I talked with the doctor for a long time and now, after more than one month, I can safely talk about the disease. Thyroiditis Hashimoto upsets the work of the immune system. The organism starts behaving as if an infection has penetrated into it and begins an active fight with it. I am constantly tormented by inflammatory processes. In my body there are always antibodies that attack the thyroid gland. In addition, the body constantly lacks the strength to filter and remove toxins from the body. "Read also
