Thyroid Health

Classic symptoms of low thyroid (hypothyroidism) include sluggishness, weight gain, cold body temperature, poor quality hair, skin and nails, hair loss, and dry skin.  However it can also include brain fog (short-term memory deficits), attention-deficit disorders, hypoglycemia, depression, dementia, emotional instability, high cholesterol, low libido and infertility.  The autoimmune form of hypothyroidism is known as Hashimoto’s.  This is most common in menopausal women living high stress lives.  Hypothyroidism causes poor circulation (arteriosclerosis), and impaired immune function with vulnerability to infections.

 Some signs of an underactive Thyroid gland

 -  Weight is stored in the front (abdomen and thighs) not in the buttocks

-  Low basal body temperature of less than 97.6 degrees average over a 3-4 day period

 To check basal body temperature you can buy a BBT thermometer for less than $10.  Shake down the thermometer to below 95.  Place the thermometer by your bed.  Immediately upon waking, put the thermometer under your armpit for 10 minutes with minimal movement, stay still and do not get up.  Record the temperature for 3-4 straight days.  Menstruating women do this days 2, 3 and 4 of monthly period.  Post-menopausal, any time.

 Average is 97.6 degrees to 98.6 degrees.  Below 97.6 degrees is a strong indicator for an underactive thyroid.  This is much more accurate than any blood test and better indicator the TSH levels

 Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT give iodine to a weak and tired thyroid.  You would also never give iodine to someone with an auto-immune concern like Hashimoto’s.  Iodine in these situations can over-stimulate an already weak, tired and over-stimulate thyroid gland.

Here is why you may have an underactive thyroid

• Estrogen Dominance is caused by petrochemicals, fuel exhaust we breathe, estrogenic hormones in meat and chickens, plastics, propylene glycol, sodium laurel sulphate in ointments, herbicides and pesticides.  These potent estrogenic substances block the production of thyroid hormone and greatly magnify the incidence of estrogen dependent cancers.  Most all males and females in developed nations have estrogen dominance.
•  Antibiotics, chlorine from our water purification systems, fluoride, and NSAID drugs used for arthritis all kill the healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract.  This results in overgrowth in the intestines of candida, fungi, mycoplasma, and anerobic bacteria (Yeast syndrome).  These dangerous organisms release powerful neurotoxic substances into the blood stream that damage the hypothalamus often resulting in multiple endocrine disorders including under-activity of the thyroid gland.
•  Mercury released from our dental amalgams is toxic to the thyroid gland.
•  Fluoride and Chlorine in our water directly interferes with thyroid function.
•  Selenium deficiency is related to lack of trace minerals in our soil.  The proper conversion of precursors into thyroid hormone depends on a selenium containing enzyme which is lacking.
•  Lack of iodine in our soil and diet leads to decreased thyroid hormone production.
•  Diagnostic x-rays injure the thyroid gland (dental, neck, spine).  Like Mammograms.  Most medical tests are extremely inaccurate, especially concerning thyroid health.  Modern medicine will say your thyroid is fine ONLY IF YOU DON’T HAVE A DISEASE.  Remember, diagnostic tools look for disease.  They tell you nothing about your current state of health.  You have lost over 70% of thyroid function by the time it shows on a conventional medical examination!

 Overactive Thyroid

Feeling “wired” for no reason, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, insomnia, bulging eyes, light menstrual period, feeling warm and unexplained weight loss. 

Knowing this, as you begin to heal your thyroid naturally, pay attention to these symptoms.  If you are taking powerful things to heal your thyroid naturally, and these symptoms occur, you know that you can decrease your medication!  This is a great sign towards healing! 

How to Heal an Underactive Thyroid Gland

1)  FOOD.  The same foods that cause cancer, heart disease and diabetes in America are the same that cause thyroid disorders.  This is the S.tandard A.merican D.iet (SAD).  Sugar, processed foods, lack of exercise, disconnect from the earth and environmental toxins are all responsible.  It is usually a combination of lifestyle factors that cause the thyroid to become so out of balance.  Sugar is the #1 thing that will destroy your immune system and your glandular system.

Gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, peanuts and other common allergenic foods can cause auto-immune reactions in the body leading to thyroid concerns such as Hashimoto’s.  In addition, soy and peanuts block thyroid function.  Soy should be avoided like the plague.  Foods that heal the thyroid are fruits, vegetables, salty foods such as sea vegetables, raw milk, lean meats, and eggs as well as good fats like butter, nut butters, nuts, seeds, coconut, olive oil and avocado. 

2)  Electricity.  Your body is electric, a giant ocean of electricity.  You, therefore, are a conductor of electricity.  Your thyroid is electric, VERY electric.  Thyroid comes from the Greek “thyreos” which means shield.  Your thyroid shields you from the world, and we get broken down from the world we live in.  The thyroid is negatively charged, which means it attracts all the positively charged poisons in our world. 

The earth is an infinite supply of energy, of electricity.  Our disconnect from that earth causes thyroid problems.  However, reconnecting to the earth can heal the thyroid.  You can cut your thyroid medication in half simply by reconnecting to the earth through grounding.  What is grounding?

Through grounding mats, pads, bed sheets, car seats, etc. you can recharge and energize your thyroid.  Not only that, you will sleep better, normalize cortisol levels that affect stress and reduce pain and inflammation.  This is one of the best things you can invest in for your health, but specifically for your shield of protection, your thyroid.

3)  Detoxification.  Your thyroid is negatively charged.  In fact, it is the most vascularized and negatively charged gland in your entire body.  It is prone to contaminants.  This can be heavy metals, fluoride in water, chlorine and a host of other invaders.  Ask for a protocol that works for you, but a combination of the following can detox and cleanse the thyroid gland:  MSM, fulvic acid, zeolites, black mica, iodine, potassium iodide, chlorella, homeopathics, etc. 

4)  Iodine and selenium.  The thyroid should be getting iodine, unless really tired or weak.  If so, this will OVER-stimulate the thyroid and it can not heal.  We rarely get any iodine through diet.  Black walnut is the richest herbal source, which completely surround us here in Kansas City.  Sea vegetables have some.  A supplement of iodine is critical for anyone, especially for women.  It is important for breast health, thyroid health and ovary health, as well as working to eliminate pathogens in the body.  Selenium comes from Brazil Nuts and a few other foods.  Taking a selenium supplement is always a good idea.  It is one of the most critical minerals and anti-oxidants in the body.

-  Iodine functions include stabilization of metabolism and body weight, fertility, brain development in children and optimum functioning of your immune system

5)  Seaweeds.  Kelp and dulse are the best. 

6)  Coconut.  This stimulates and heals the thyroid.  It is a precursor for hormone production.  You should eat it and rub it on your neck in the area of your thyroid. 

7)  Herbs.  Have an experienced herbalist make you a combination that is best for you.  Best known herbs for thyroid health include Ashwagandha, Black Walnut, Kelp, Stinging Nettle, Alfalfa, Horsetail, Bladderwrack and Irish Moss

8). Exercise and Sunshine.  Sunshine feeds the entire glandular system!  This is why I never wear sunglasses.  You are blocking the most important energy in the entire world.
