What You Need To Know About Thyroid Function

The Thyroid gland is a vital hormonal gland which plays a role in metabolism, growth, and maturation of the human body. Stagnation in function with this butterfly shaped organ can provide serious consequences. Unfortunately, The American Thyroid Association states that 12% of the US population will suffer from thyroid dysfunction. The Environment and food quality in the United States are absolutely critical for our overall health in addition to triggering on, and off switches in our body, and in the case of thyroid, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Doctors are often perplexed that their patients have a thyroid problem. The problem is that allopathic practitioners don’t run enough tests or offer enough treatment option preferably about diet and lifestyle since many of illnesses today can be prevented by diet, lifestyle changes, and exercise implementation.


The thyroid gland is absolutely essential for every cell in your entire body. Every cell has a unique receptor for the thyroid hormone, and no cell can function without it. Deficiency and overactive thyroid hormones play a critical role in sickness and disrupting physical and mental capacities. Significant Deficiencies (Hypothyroidism) in thyroid function can drastically slow down metabolism. Other side effects include depression, constipation, fatigue, and brain fog, aches, and dry skin. Overactive thyroid (Hyperthyroidism) can cause restlessness, anxiety, diarrhea, followed by muscle weakness and tremors. This is what is known as Graves disease. Graves disease is usually managed with synthetic thyroid hormones with Synthroid being the most popular prescription from the MD. It can be very dangerous if not given optimal dosages since a variety of side effects can occur like impaired.  Detoxification and diet are crucial in helping rid of the issues that are plaguing your thyroid. Adequate levels of hormone D(vitamin D), will aid in good health and prevent multiple sclerosis, hypertension, cancer diabetes, depression. Hormone D will assure a functional endocrine system and will prevent toxins and pollutants from affecting the thyroid gland.


The Thyroid produces three important hormones through the TSH which are T3, T4, and calcitonin. Calcitonin which regulates calcium and bone metabolism all made possible by the thyroid stimulating hormone. TSH(Thyroid Stimulating hormone) is synthesized by the pituitary gland in our brain which is also needed to produce offspring and breast milk to nourish said offspring. Excess Calcium can lead to heart disease, dementia, hypertension, and kidney damage, and the wondrous thyroid hormone can regulate and fix this process. Thyroid hormones are essential for the growth, development, and maturation of children. Such growth factors include Somatomedins (skeletal growth), erythropoietin which is the formation of red blood vessels, Nerve growth factor, and growth of the epidermal layer. The hypothalamus is the brain region responsible for the thyroid resting hormone which measures the level of thyroid hormone and regulates its production. The thyroid along with T3 and T4 works with many nutrients to help it function and perform its many ubiquitous functions. All of these nutrient factors can be supplemented if are absolutely necessary.


                Selenium- is an essential component in assisting TSH in making T4 convert to T3. Selenium removes cellular debris that may be detrimental to thyroid health by combating free radicals and oxidation.


                Iodine- is one of the building blocks for the thyroid hormone and it is found in seaweed, saltwater fish, high-quality multivitamin or supplements. It is considered one of the most important nutrients to fix hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism.


                Iron- is needed to convert iodide to iodine as well as the conversion of T4 to T3. It is found in animal foods, dark green vegetables, and could be used as a multivitamin supplement


                Omega 3 fats- needed for cellular development, immune system health, maintaining cell integrity so T3 can enter the cells. Pull harmful oxidized trans-fat molecules out of adipose tissue and helps reduce high blood pressure, hypertension


                Zinc- is responsible for aiding many critical systems of health nervous, skeletal, gastrointestinal health. Aid’s in hypothalamus receptors and assures it’s optimal functioning. Zinc can be found in seafood, green vegetables, organ meat, and supplements


                Vitamin D3- absolutely necessary for human life, essential for heart, health, relieves depression, promotes regular blood sugar levels. D3 is achieved mainly from the sun and found in small concentrations in mushrooms, cheese, seafood, and supplements.


                B vitamins- aids in helping the immune system function, regulates hormones, prevent defects and aids in bone and nervous system health.


                Vitamin A- Needed for healthy immune function and general well-being. It is found in many fruits and vegetables and liver.


                Tyrosine- an amino acid made from iodine, and it acts as a building block for the thyroid hormones.


There are many solutions to fixing thyroid issues. Humans must consume nutrients needed for optimal health which means getting iodine, selenium, zinc, iron, vitamin D, Omega 3s, and B vitamins. I would first consume whole fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, along with full-spectrum sea salt. Consume a whole foods plant-based diet and eliminate animal protein, and consider supplementing with vitamin B12. If you must consume animal protein, purchase grass fed sources. Taking Curcumin supplements or raw turmeric root can protect the body from virtually all diseases. Those with sensitivity to gluten and dairy should avoid them.  This is a complicated issue since wheat has been a thriving tool for civilizations. The underlying problem is that certain genetic types are intolerant to wheat through zonulin. Zonulin is the molecule which interferes in tight intercellular junctions that are involved in trafficking of macromolecules and, therefore, irregular immune response balance. Zonulin encourages the intestines to expand which allows pathogens, pollutants, toxins, and other debris to affect our gut microbiome. Gluten is known to cause celiac disease, and celiac psychosis, so it is recommended that you avoid it if you are suffering from thyroid issues. One needs to evaluate their levels of stress and find ways to relieve their said stress if experienced to excess. Reduce your exposure to toxins and test some heavy metals in the water supply.


Fluoride is a component in water, antibiotics; toothpaste causes a myriad of health problems. Fluoride can calcify arteries and cause heart disease. It can increase the risk of developing tumors in the mouth and thyroid. Fluoride is overall detrimental to human health however impairing thyroid function can lead to In addition to producing side effects like the ones mentioned above and much more…  This is only one out of many endocrine disrupters that disrupt thyroid function. Chlorine, a disinfectant in water supply has an oxidizing effect of killing organic molecules in our body. It is commonly found in plastics, insecticides, and other manufactured cleaning products. Oxidation is particularly a disease-causing process that looks to destroy our immune system and our overall health by causing disease. Bromine is a flame-retardant commonly found in furniture, upholstery, and even in gluten free products. Bromine can cause the breakdown of iodine, thus causing iodine deficiency.


To wrap this up, I encourage you the reader to pick up the book “The Thyroid Connection,” by Amy Myers. This book will instruct you which tests to order to detect for hypo or hyperthyroidism. Myers has developed a unique protocol in healing your symptoms, which is a 28-day program you can go over with a functional medicine practitioner to help assure your specific needs and/or concerns or questions. Try finding a co-patient, a supportive online or in person community, family member, priest, Imam, Rabbi to provide you with optimism and advice if they or someone they know has suffered from thyroid issues. Expand your horizons in the field of health by picking up books by well-established doctors to give you a great understanding of how to care for yourself and save yourself from added stress and medical bills. Be aware that the environment and lifestyle choices will affect your general health and your ability to function. It seems like all of these toxins are right next to us wherever we go…. We need to detoxify our bodies at least every day if possible and find ways to prevent toxins from impacting our physiological health

What You Need To Know About Thyroid Function

Thyroid Dysfunctions & The Obesity Epidemic: Is Your Weight Loss Canary Suffering?

There’s no doubt that thyroid disease is on the rise. Now the question is why?


The reason your weight loss attempts might not be working is because your weight loss canary might be suffering…let me explain.


From the research, I have reviewed and the patients I have seen over the last 10 years, it’s clear to me that the thyroid gland is your body’s own yellow canary. It’s sensitive to many different influences—your diet, your lifestyle, and the world around you. And all these influences can affect how well your thyroid functions.


Remember how miners used to detect toxic methane gas and carbon monoxide? They sent bright yellow canaries into the mines. Canaries are highly sensitive to these gasses—so much so that they die when exposed to them. Their deaths served as a warning system for miners so they do not enter and become exposed to poisonous air.


So, it’s not surprising that as we eat more toxic foods and are increasingly exposed to pollution, petrochemical and industrial wastes, and heavy metals that thyroid problems have also skyrocketed. In fact, more than 20 percent of women and 10 percent of men in the United States have thyroid dysfunctions—and half of them don’t even know it (1, 2)!


But exactly how does your environment affect your thyroid?


We now have substantial research to demonstrate that environmental chemicals have a direct impact on the thyroid gland. It’s clear that PCBs and other industrial petrochemical toxins can lower thyroid function, as well as other pollutants such as chlorine, fluoride, and bromide.


Since the thyroid produces hormones that manage your metabolism, anything that affects your thyroid will ultimately affect your metabolism. In fact, there’s evidence that toxins boost the excretion of thyroid hormones, leaving you with less of this hormone to control your metabolism—and a decreased ability to burn fat.


The truth is, your thyroid plays a huge role in weight control, and in determining your metabolic rate.


The question is not if, but how much is today’s obesity epidemic linked to the harmful effects of environmental toxins on metabolism.


I’ve seen so many patients struggle with their weight, only to have the pounds melt off when we addressed their thyroid problems.


True, not everyone’s weight problems are caused by thyroid dysfunction—but if you’re overweight, you should consider the connection. That’s why the best medical doctors always check their patients’ thyroid functions and will consider all the possible causes of subtle thyroid imbalance, including toxins, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, and stress.


Now let’s talk about some of those other factors.


For example, food allergies, like sensitivities to gluten and other foods, also negatively affect thyroid function—and are frequently undiagnosed. Likewise, deficiencies in nutrients important to good thyroid function—like selenium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids. and iodine and tyrosine—can also trigger thyroid problems.


With all these factors that can affect your thyroid, it’s clear that we need a new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease. Many doctors can miss the subtle signs of thyroid problems, and conventional medicine often treats low thyroid function with inadequate, one-size-fits-all drugs like Synthroid.


However, thyroid dysfunction requires a more personalized, integrative approach—one that you can help control by becoming an active partner in your care. First, keep an eye out for the symptoms of a low thyroid function, including (3):


  • fatigue

  • sluggishness

  • trouble getting up in the morning

  • depression

  • dry skin

  • dry hair

  • constipation

  • fluid retention

  • menstrual problems and PMS

  • hair loss

  • cracked or chipping fingernails

  • low sex drive

  • weight gain

  • muscle aches

  • cramps

Yes, a lot of those symptoms are common and vague—which is one reason why thyroid dysfunction often goes undetected. But if you notice any of these signs, bring them to your doctor’s attention, and ask him or her to test your thyroid function.


If you are diagnosed with low thyroid function, the following steps recommended:


  1. Eliminate the causes of thyroid problems, like toxins, food allergies, and nutritional deficiencies.

  2. Exercise

  3. Eat foods that provide nutritional support to your thyroid—and avoid those that don’t.

  4. Use supplements that protect your thyroid, such as vitamins A and D, selenium, zinc and fish oil.

  5. Work with your doctor to choose the right thyroid proto

Remember, thyroid hormone is the master metabolism hormone. If your thyroid is out of balance, your metabolism is out of balance, too.


Do you have a dysfunctional thyroid?


Know that the problem can be fixed. By following the program here you can get your thyroid working properly, keep your weight under control and start feeling better today.

9 Warning Signs of Thyroid Disease You Don’t Want to Ignore

Thyroid disease is an unavoidable statistic for 12% of the U.S. population at some point in their lifetime. Additionally, women are up to eight times more likely to develop the disease than men. Further, there are over 20 million Americans who have the disease and over 50% of these don’t even know they have it.


Much of the reason for missing the signals of thyroid malfunction is the fact that the warning signs are subtle and increase over time. Aches, pains, fatigue and other symptoms are often merely attributed to common ailments or aging. The root of the growing symptoms is often not discovered until damage has already been done.


Since the thyroid is a powerful a gland that has a major impact on well being and overall health, it’s important for you to recognize the warning signs early.


Important Signs of Thyroid Disease


1. Weight gain – If you’ve experienced unexplained weight gain or can’t lose weight no matter what you do, this may indicate that the thyroid hormone isn’t regulating your metabolism properly.


2. Heart palpitations and jitters – An imbalance in thyroid hormones can cause a person’s heart to race and cause unexplained jitters, like the hands shaking.


3. Increased perspiration and anxiety – This goes along with a racing heart and shakiness mentioned above. A break out in perspiration and increased feelings of anxiety are common signs of health issues associated with a thyroid condition.


4. Digestion problems – Irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea-like bowel issues can result from hyperthyroidism.


5. Decreased energy levels – A very common symptom of insufficient thyroid hormones is the inability to have adequate energy to accomplish common tasks. No matter how much sleep you try to get, or how well you try to eat, you may always
feel exhausted.


6. Constant brain fog – Homeopath, Dr. Ami Sha states that, “Clinically brain fog is defined as a subjective feeling of confusion and lack of mental clarity.”


7. Depression – While depression can be attributed to many other issues, those who also experience a constant feeling of brain fog, also notice they increasingly become depressed. Associated symptoms of thyroid disease such as nervousness and anxiety that are related to hyperthyroidism increase the severity of feelings of depression.


8. Cold hands, feet & low body temperature – Do you usually feel cold and everyone around you doesn’t? This could be a sign of a poor performing thyroid. Dr. Amy Myers of the Austin UltraHealth Clinic says that having a body temperature consistently below 98.5 is definitely a sign of thyroid problems.


9. Dry Skin – A poorly functioning thyroid can cause skin to dry out, plus fingernails may become brittle with ridges appearing.


What to do?


If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it is wise to consult your doctor about your concerns. However, since signs of thyroid imbalance can be rather vague, many physicians merely order the standard lab panel which only includes the TSH and T4. This is generally not sufficient to determine the real problem with thyroid malfunctions, suggests Dr. Myers. As a world renowned expert in Functional Medicine, she suggests this additional panel that you can request from your doctor to determine the real issues:


  • Free T4

  • Free T3

  • Reverse T3

  • Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb)

  • Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb)

  • TSH

Dealing with a thyroid imbalance can significantly improve health and overall body function. It usually requires a multi-faceted approach that includes diet changes, a supplement regimen, healing your digestive tract, lessening the impact of stress and working with a knowledgeable healthcare professional who specializes in
thyroid and autoimmune disorders.

Struggling With Cancer, Thyroid Condition, Persistent Fatigue, Cysts, or Weight Issues? Consider Iodine Deficiency!

It’s nearly impossible to throw a rock and not hit somebody that has dealt with or knows an individual dealing with cancer, thyroid difficulties, persistent fatigue, and weight problems. With the way the recent foods technique is set up and the lack of schooling and determination on the part of the buyer, these types of well being troubles are inevitably going to pop up.


But what if a good deal of these problems have been simply a symptom of a key mineral deficiency? And what if it could be straightforward to test by yourself, and even treatment? Have I got your attention now? If so, study on.


The many roles of iodine


Iodine is a essential mineral that is definitely imperative to have suitable amounts of in the physique. It is mainly identified for its position in thyroid hormones, but is also essential for regulating blood stress, moods, blood sugar, cardiac rhythms, and avoiding cancer in the breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate, and thyroid gland.


Not only that but iodine is amazingly antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic, which helps make it an exceptional preventative and treatment to a multitude of conditions brought on by rogue bacteria, viruses, fungus, and parasites.


Even although the thyroid gland does include the body’s highest concentration of iodine, the salivary glands, brain, cerebrospinal fluid, gastric mucosa, breasts, ovaries, and portion of the eye also concentrate iodine. So if you are to be turn into deficient, any one of these places could become diseased and generate all sorts of signs.


The indications of iodine deficiency


According to Dr. Brownstein, revered professional and author of the book Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can not Dwell Without It, 94.7% of 500 individuals he tested have been deficient in inorganic iodine. This amount alone need to put iodine deficiency on the map for you, but if that wasn’t ample, take into account the following indications of iodine deficiency and see if any of them resonate with you:


  • Thyroid issues (hypothyroid and hyperthyroid)

  • Breast condition

  • Continual fatigue

  • Extra mucous production

  • Lowered metabolic process (issues shedding weight)

  • Cancers of the breast, ovaries, thyroid, and prostate

  • Infertility

  • Anxiousness, depression, or irritability

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Fibrocystic breasts, ovarian cysts, and sebaceous cysts

  • Hemorrhoids

  • Cognitive impairments

  • Stunted development

  • Hair reduction

If you have had a reasonable to critical issues with any of these indicators, you may possibly want to contemplate consuming iodine wealthy meals, such as:


  • Seaweed (kelp)

  • Oysters

  • Eggs

  • Cranberries (or pure cranberry juice)

  • Yogurt

  • Navy beans

  • Strawberries

  • Fish (sardines, salmon, cod, tuna)

  • Turkey breast

  • Baked potato

  • Salt (pink salt, not iodized salt)

Of program, clean versions of all these food items is really important. Preserve in thoughts that in some hyperthyroid patient situations, a sensitivity to iodine may preclude you from consuming iodine rich meals. Seek advice from a qualified well being skilled if this is you.


If you want to do an simple at residence test and discover supplemental dosages of inorganic iodine so you can possibly rectify an iodine deficiency, read through Dealing With Nervousness, Infertility, Hair Reduction, Fatigue, and Stubborn Bodyweight? You Could Be Iodine Deficient!

Fukushima"s kids at centre of debate in excess of rates of thyroid cancer

When physicians discovered many tiny nodules on his 12-12 months-outdated daughter’s thyroid gland, Toshiyuki Kamei refused to allow parental concern get the better of him. The symptoms are not unusual, and the probability that they will create into some thing a lot more critical is lower.


But Kamei can be forgiven for occasional moments of doubt: his daughter, Ayako, is one of nearly 400,000 young children who have been living in Fukushima on eleven March 2011 – the commence of the world’s worst nuclear accident for a quarter of a century.


“As a parent, of course I fret, but my daughter is taking it in her stride,” said Kamei, who lives in Iwaki, a city about 40km (25 miles) south of the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear electrical power plant. “She doesn’t inform me if it is on her thoughts, and I have made a decision not to ask her about it.”


Three many years right after the plant suffered a triple meltdown that released large quantities of radiation into the ambiance, health-related authorities in Fukushima prefecture are reporting a considerable rise in the quantity of thyroid cancer cases amongst nearby youngsters and young grownups.

The World Health Organisation says children in Fukushima may have a higher risk of developing thyroid cancer.

The benefits have prompted a bitter debate about the likely results the meltdown had on the wellness of hundreds of thousands of kids. Either the higher-than-typical prices of thyroid cancer are connected to the nuclear accident, or they are the inevitable end result of a testing regime unprecedented in size, and conducted utilizing state-of-the-art medical tools.


Last month, the variety of confirmed and suspected instances of thyroid cancer amongst men and women aged 18 or below at the time of the accident rose to 75, compared with 59 at the end of final September. Of the present complete, 33 circumstances have been confirmed as cancer.


Below the guidance of Fukushima Medical University, local overall health authorities have so far tested 254,000 out of 375,000 Fukushima young children and adolescents, who will carry on to be screened regularly throughout their lives.


Medical officials in Japan dismissed a website link with the nuclear accident, but conceded that the benefits necessary even more examination.


“We hope to search for unknown varieties of gene mutations, other than individuals recognized to be related with the generation of thyroid gland cancer, to review if they could serve as markers for identifying if the cancers were induced by radiation,” explained Shinichi Suzuki, a professor of thyroid gland surgical procedure at the university.


At very first sight, the figures give cause for alarm. Thyroid cancer typically influences one to two people per million amongst 10 to 14-12 months-olds in Japan, a charge far reduce than observed in Fukushima, though tests there apply to folks aged up to 18.

Inevitably, parallels have been drawn with the 1986 catastrophe in Chernobyl. Estimates fluctuate, but in accordance to the UN Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, a lot more than 6,000 circumstances of thyroid cancer between exposed young children and adolescents living in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus had been reported by 2005. There, no try was made to stop young children from consuming milk or eating leafy greens, leaving them vulnerable to ingesting harmful quantities of the radionuclide iodine-131, a recognised cause of thyroid cancer.


But specialists acquainted with the two disasters caution against making similarly gloomy predictions for the kids of Fukushima. Dillwyn Williams, emeritus professor of pathology at Cambridge University, pointed out that a obvious improve in thyroid cancers was not observed until 3 to 4 years soon after the Chernobyl accident.


“Much less radioactivity was released from Fukushima than from Chernobyl,” he mentioned. “Most of [the Fukushima radiation] was blown above the Pacific Ocean, and thyroid doses in the most-affected areas are low compared to Chernobyl.


“It is quite unlikely there will be a huge boost in thyroid cancer or any other well being problems, apart from anxiousness and psychological difficulties. That does not indicate the surveillance need to stop. There were surprises soon after Chernobyl and there may be once again after Fukushima.”


Williams and other specialists have attributed the huge variety of situations to the use of hypersensitive ultrasound, which can detect the tiniest lesions, and the big quantity of children being examined.


In Fukushima, the initial recorded cases of thyroid cancer – whose latent period can be in between 4 or five many years to a number of decades – came just a year soon after the meltdown. In Chernobyl, it took 4 years just before cancer rates rose.


“The similarity in the public response to each accidents arises from a lack of awareness of the population about the actual dangers and risks of radiation publicity,” stated Prof Konstantin Kotenko, director common of the state investigation centre at the Federal Medical Biological Agency in Moscow. “After the both accidents the following was observed amongst the members of the public: worry and negative stereotypes due to exaggeration of the danger of ionising radiation, signs of depression and post-traumatic stress. Undoubtedly, these perceptions of radiation have a negative influence on the health of the population, including young children.”


Gerry Thomas, professor of molecular pathology at Imperial University, London University, blames increasing nervousness among Fukushima residents on “pseudo-scientists who can shout louder than true scientists”.

“The largest result will be psychological – just as it was publish-Chernobyl,” explained Thomas, who insists the rising variety of cases is due to comprehensive screening, not radiation. “I still stick with what I have usually explained: there will not be a single death due to the radiological consequences of this accident.”


But scientists have struggled to reach a consensus over the feasible overall health results of prolonged exposure to relatively lower amounts of radiation. Whilst the World Health Organisation and other UN companies praised the Japanese authorities for ordering the swift evacuation of neighbourhoods close to Fukushima Daiichi, their decision quickly after to increase the allowable yearly radiation publicity limit from one particular to 20 millisieverts [mSv] place youngsters in danger, said Dr Paul Dorfman of the Energy Institute at University School, London.


“This is inexplicable, since 20mSv is the allowable dose for an adult radiation worker,” Dorman said. “Given that infants and youngsters are nonetheless in their developmental stage, they should not have been subjected to this dose.


“Unfortunately, what this indicates is that we may be seeing improved sick overall health in the long term. Not simply gross cancers and possibly heart problems, but also factors that are tough to detect through epidemiology, this kind of as immune problems.”


The anxiety felt by dad and mom in Fukushima stems from a widespread lack of trust in the neighborhood health care authorities, which have come under government strain not to lead to alarm amongst residents.


The Japanese government has resisted calls from parents to carry out comparable screenings amid kids in a region of Japan that was not impacted by the catastrophe. That, radiation professionals say, would at least set up no matter whether or not the thyroid cancer spike in Fukushima is out of the ordinary.


“It is such an clear measure that could be finished in about six months, but the government has done definitely practically nothing for 3 years,” said Koichiro Ono, a regional kindergarten teacher. “The government is worried that if the results propose that there is a link, it will damage its strategies to restart nuclear reactors.”


As north-east Japan prepares to mark the third anniversary of the catastrophe, in which virtually 20,000 individuals died – most of them in two prefectures north of Fukushima – the country’s leaders are striving to place a good spin on the recovery hard work.


In the course of a latest visit to a Fukushima village exactly where the evacuation purchase imposed in March 2011 has been partially lifted, prime minister Shinzo Abe congratulated residents on taking a vital phase in the direction of resuming the lives they have been forced to place on hold after their residences have been irradiated.


Kamei, nevertheless, was not impressed. “How can any person speak about lifestyle returning to standard in Fukushima till everything has been done to guarantee that people have their well being?” he explained. “Politicians preserve talking about recovery, but that doesn’t indicate anything at all to folks living all around here.”

Thyroid 101

THYROID 101:


Obesity, REPRODUCTIVE CANCERS, FIBROMYALGIA, Variety 2 DIABETES,  AUTOIMMUNE Diseases,


LEUKEMIA, INFANT MORTALITY, Mental RETARDATION,


Continual FATIGUE


The perform of your thyroid gland is to take dietary or supplemental iodine from your bloodstream and make thyroid hormones. The names of the thyroid hormones reflect the number of iodine molecules connected – T3 (triiodothyronine) has three iodine molecules attached and T4 (thyroxine) has 4.  Thyroid hormones manage heart fee, temperature, metabolic process, glucose consumption, cortisol (pressure hormone) regulation, and immune function.


As it is with all hormones, when seeking at your physique holistically, at the cellular level—disruption of 1 group of hormonesconstantly affects each and every other group of hormones. Your body is miraculously made to often protect you, preserve homeostasis, and keep you alive. Your body never works against you.  From a normal, holistic, cellular level method to healing, iodine is located in each single 1 of your hundred trillion cells. One particular could conclude then, that the component iodine is important to lifestyle.


This is not a new notion. Natural healers have known this given that the beginning of time.Early research in the 1900s proved that iodine reversed goiter. (Dr. David Marine gave iodine to 2000 schoolgirls over a 2 ½ 12 months period with notable accomplishment). This examine was the reason the U.S. started to iodize salt. Supplemental iodine was extra to bread—each slice contained about a hundred micrograms of iodine.


Then came the infamous “Wolff-Chaikoff” review (detailed previously) with incorrect, unsubstantiated, unreplicated information that iodine caused goiter in lab rats. Therefore began the removal of iodine from bread and salt and the replacement of iodine with bromine.


BROMINE is 1 of THEE most toxic, cancer- creating substances on the planet. BROMINE forces iodine from your body by a process known as aggressive inhibition.


So let’s speak about the evil phase-brothers of iodine. Iodine is a member of the halogen family members.  Bromine, Chlorine, and Flourine are all in competition for iodine receptors in your body. Iodine, in its elemental form, taken up by the thyroid and deposited in the many bodily receptors, is first used to detoxify your entire body of the other harmful halogens. However, you Should have adequate iodine at first to the two help thyroid perform, and fill those receptors. You must get the essential elemental mineral salts in people endocrine system receptor websites so you don’t absorb the reduce good quality halogens bromine, chlorine, flouride or radioactive iodine, that compete for receptor internet sites and force iodine out of the body—replacing the necessary mineral with the cancer leading to toxins.


This is why the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima (previously stated) is so damaging.  Radiation from medical procedures is dangerous as properly. Chlorinated water and fluoridated water is dangerous. All of these halogens force iodine out of the entire body and fill receptor web sites with toxic cancer leading to substances. Perchlorate from rocket fuel, fireworks, flares, bleach, explosives, &amp fertilizer– displaces iodine at a ratio of 1 perchlorate atom displacing one hundred iodine atoms. Ethylene dibromide from chemtrails forces out iodine as well.


According to Dr. Cousens: your skin holds 400 milligrams of iodine–so you can recognize why the halogens are so rapidly absorbed by your body. The breasts, by the way hold 200 milligrams the thyroid 50 milligrams.


Normal, elemental salts are endothermic and draw heat (aka inflammation) out of the physique and mix with water to re-hydrate the intestines, tissues, and glands.  Radioactive substances burn up internally, dehydrate, and result in oxidative stress and irritation.


Bromine, the most toxic, chemical, iodine depleting substance in the globe, is this kind of an insidious portion of our environment that most folks have no clue how considerably they are exposed to, and take in, on a daily basis.


Sources of Bromine:



  • Methyl Bromide—a pesticide utilised on strawberries

  • Potassium Bromate—a dough conditioner discovered in commercial bakery products, some flours, and bread

  • Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) –added to citrus drinks Mountain Dew being the worst—also in red Gatorade

  • Plastic parts utilised to make computer systems

  • Medications—like Atrovent Inhaler, Nasal Spray Professional-Banthine, anesthesia

  • Fire retardants utilized in infant and kids pajamas, mattress pads, mattresses, carpets, upholstery

  • Sizzling tub and pool cleaners

  • In addition to bromine–Fluoride in water and toothpaste—ever wonder why you are not supposed to swallow it? Flourine is utilised in chemical warfare and dissolves bones &amp teeth

  • Triclosan—chemical discovered in anti-bacterial soap, physique wash, toothpaste, cosmetics, toys, kitchen things


You have to come to feel sorry for iodine, don’t you?  Those are some wicked phase-brothers.  Is it any wonder why we are iodine deficient?


Iodine protects and prevents against breast and other cancers. If you have read my weblog prior to, you know that when the body can’t quickly eradicate toxins, it does a single of two factors. Incoming pathogens are surrounded by lymph tissue (like tonsils and adenoids) and inner toxins are stored in unwanted fat until finally they can be eradicated. Cancer causing halogens are forced out of these tissues and glands by iodine sufficiency and saturation. Without ample iodine, the halogens deposit themselves and get up residence leading to inflammation, cysts, and cancer. Flouride in specific, accumulates in the thyroid and pineal glands. The pineal gland produces the hormones serotonin and melatonin. Flouride interferes with the secretion of melatonin, leading to calcium deposits in the pineal gland.


According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens: citing a examine in the Global Journal of Radiation Biology, Vol. 86, No.twelve, December 2010, pp.1106-1116—Cordless phones, cell phones, and the “smart meters” utilised by utility organizations with 900MHz pulsed radiation cause hypothyroidism.


Radioactive isotopes from any source are a major difficulty. In accordance to Dr. Cousens Dr. Alice Stewart studied girls exposed to diagnostic X-rays throughout their pregnancies. She identified that their infants had been two times a lot more most likely to develop leukemia than infants who had not been exposed while in the uterus and if the babies were exposed to X-rays in the very first 3 months of pregnancy, they have been twelve instances far more most likely to develop childhood leukemia. If an infant is exposed to radioactive components like strontium-90, the radioactive particles accumulate in the bone marrow and disrupt the building immune method. Strontium-90 has a radioactive lifetime of 560 years—that signifies they carry on to give off radiation for a long time as they decay.  This triggers damage on so many levels even to the level of death.  In the eight months following the Chernobyl Catastrophe,   newborns in the U.S decreased by 60,000.  Massachusetts had the highest boost in infant mortality costs with an boost of 900% for every thousand live births.  This also takes place in war torn areas exactly where plutonium-239 was employed. Once more, these harmful toxins stay in the soil forever—well– 500,000 years for plutonium.  (this data is from my textbook, “Conscious Eating” by Dr. Cousens, and my personal notes from naturopathy college).


So how do we safeguard ourselves from radiation and the wicked phase-brothers of iodine?  Let’s all say my favored mantra—you do study my site right?


“Pull out the poison, feed the body, and God will heal.”  Burton Goldberg


Exclusively:


It goes without having saying that most of us are iodine deficient. To remedy that we require to make certain that sufficient organic mineral rich iodine is “taken up” to saturate the cells, tissues, and glands. By carrying out this, we prevent the lesser, toxic halogens from currently being absorbed and displacing iodine. As you can see from my notes, I like Kelp. I have been taking Kelp for many years with out any unwell results.  You have to be careful with iodine dietary supplements.  There are a lot of genuinely good assets and qualified iodine specialists listed in “The Iodine Crisis” by Lynne Farrow, as properly as web sites and folks to reply questions. Dr. Cousens and the Tree of Existence Center have plenty of resources as well.  Start the place you are.  Find a medical professional that will perform with you.


Beets are a genuinely great blood and liver detoxifier—specifically raw organic beet juice. Beets are substantial in iron and have been successfully utilised for years to avoid and reverse radiation brought on cancers and leukemia. I make apple, lemon, beet, wheatgrass juice almost each day. I am a large fan of fresh organic juices. And I am Blessed to call Jay Kordich aka “The Juice Man” my mentor and friend. He is my juice expert and so experienced about  individual nutrients and juice combinations. You can go through my blog post he wrote for me, or verify out his facebook page or website and request him questions. I love men and women who are available to support share their understanding and I love men and women who radiate genuine kindness. Jay does both.


Switch to Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Salt.  Remember: YOUR Body Needs THE Key MINERALS Found IN SEA SALT. Elemental sodium (Na), Potassium (K) and Magnesium (Mg) are vital for cellular function.  Sodium regulates your heartbeat.  These salts mixed with water hydrate your tissues, and glands offering moisture and lubrication. This is why with hypothyroidism you have dry skin, dry eyes, brittle nails, course hair. The halogen loved ones members and radioactive iodine do the opposite –they burn you internally as they decompose leading to inflammation, dehydration, oxidative stress (fire rips via your oxygen stores)  and eventual cell death.


It  also goes without having saying that meals rich in chlorophyll shield against radiation, raise your pH, and create wholesome red blood cells. Any green leafy meals will help—I like wheatgrass—but liquid chlorophyll is fantastic too—I take Dr. Robert Young’s pH Miracle Greens (Supergreens) every day.


In buy to “pull out the poison”—one very successful method is called chelation. Chelation requires certain foods or goods that actively draw radioactive toxins to them, bind them up and get rid of them by means of the bowel or in some cases, the skin. Sodium alginate sea greens like my favorite—Kelp, bind radioactive metals and avert them from getting absorbed in the body.


I have mentioned liquid Zeolites several times prior to. Zeolites have been used for many years to bind and clean up radioactive waste. Zeolite is risk-free and straightforward to take—a handful of drops in water or juice with no negative taste and no side results. Dr. Cousens believes this is one of the ideal merchandise for chelation.

Guarding your thyroid and every other cell in your body can make such a difference in your good quality of existence,  your protection against and recovery from cancer, and so numerous other persistent problems that I inspire you to use this info as a starting up point. Really do not get my word for it. The best study is that which is conducted with your personal eyes in your personal time.
