Addressing Thyroid related health disorders

Sometimes (most often is more accurate) the thyroid gland and in general the

glandular system takes over the burden of detoxification (internal cleaning)

when the regular channels of elimination are overburdened. So, number one on

the “to do” list with a thyroid problem is to pay attention to and

help your detoxification organs (intestinal tract, liver, kidneys, and lungs)

to function at full effectiveness. Doing this job will

assist in relieving any detoxification burden on your thyroid gland that can be

relieved.

To explain the above concept further, here's an example of how the

detoxification system is related to the glandular system. It is a well

known medical fact, that certain forms of harmful bacteria can produce toxic

substances in the intestinal tract. These toxic substances travel to the

liver from the intestines and impair the liver's ability to manufacture and

utilize T3 (T3 is a relative of thyroxin and it helps regulate the speed of

metabolism in the tissues). Friendly bacteria are very important to stop

harmful bacteria from producing these toxic substances. As a result of

repopulating your intestinal tract with potent friendly bacteria, your liver

should have an increased ability to function normally and this could indirectly

support your thyroid gland.

When you choose your friendly bacteria supplements, make sure they are microblended with a whole food rich in minerals such as:

acidophilus and bifidus microblended

with kelp or blue green algae. The minerals in these sea vegetables

enables the friendly bacteria to increase their speed of multiplication in the

gut and will also increase the total number of organisms (friendly bacteria)

that will eventually flourish in your intestines.

Number two in the “to do” list is to make sure you're getting

enough minerals in your diet (iodine, iron and selenium). In the past,

doctors used to think that a deficiency of iodine alone was a cause of the

dysfunction of the thyroid gland. But it is known today that selenium is

critical in activating an enzyme responsible for controlling thyroid

function. However, taking isolated iodine and selenium supplements is not

a good idea because humans require only a few micrograms of these nutrients

each day to meet normal needs. Too much of either of these minerals can

produce toxicity. It is best to find foods high in these minerals:

Blue green algae, dulse, kelp and other sea

vegetables are high in iodine and selenium. When consumed as part of a

whole food, these minerals can be assimilated and utilized for thyroid hormone

synthesis by your body without fear of toxicity.

Other diatery recommendations:

• Enzyme Therapy: Since the endocrine

glands are driven by digested foods. Correcting any digestive problems

with the use of digestive enzymes is a good idea.

• Coconut oil is the most

healthy saturated fat for the endocrine glands. Raw butter is as

good. Coconut oil stimulates thyroid function and thus promotes weight

loss in those who are overweight.

• Fruits and fruits smoothies are important to

help modulate blood sugar and calm the adrenal glands and normalize production

of thyroid hormone.

• Carrots’ fiber tones the bowel, binds

toxins and reduces the reabsorption

of estrogen.

• Do not drink tap water. Some city water

contains organic hydrocarbons which could result in blocking the activity of

thyroid hormones. Make sure you drink only spring water.

• Simplify your diet. Eat the following for

a period of three months: salmon, eggs (boiled), yams,

fruits, and vegetables (juice parsley, celery, carrots and apples), brown rice,

seeds and nuts, coconut butter or coconut oil for cooking.

• Supplements use is important: 300 to 400

mg. of CoQ10 (daily for three months). Plus for the long term, food

enzymes with meals, friendly bacteria, wheat sprouts and blue green algae

supplements

Following this plan, you're likely to see the potential of great improvement

without the use of medications.
