FYI:

THE NEW APPROACH TO LOW THYROID CONDITIONS!

BY MICHAEL BIAMONTE CCN.

Many years ago Dr. Broda M.D., wrote a book called HYPOTHYROIDISM

THE UNSUSPECTED ILLNESS. Dr. brought light to low thyroid conditions

as an unsuspected cause of numerous health disorders. Dr. made

popular the procedure of testing one's underarm body temperature the very

first thing in the morning to discover one's thyroid efficiency and clearly

proved that a condition of low thyroid function can exist even if one's

blood tests are normal. When Dr. found a patient who had lower body

temperature than normal, the doctor would treat him with thyroid

medication. The patient would them miracously improve. More recently, Dr.

Denis M.D. also wrote a book called WILSON'S SYNDROME. Dr.

expanded the theory of Dr. and advanced the treatment.

Both Drs. and have discovered a condition where the thyroid

appears normal based on blood work but, in actual fact, a low body

temperature exits and a low metabolism exists.

SYMPTOMS OF LOW THYROID INCLUDE:

LOSS OF HAIR

WEIGHT GAIN

COLD HANDS AND FEET

CELLULITE

WIEGHT GAIN ON THIGHS AND HIPS

DRY SKIN

LOW BODY TEMPERATURE

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE

LOW ADRENAL FUNCTION

MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITIES

INFERTILITY

PMS

OSETOPOROSIS

SUGAR CRAVINGS AND HYPOGLYCEMIA

UNEXPLAINED FATIGUE

CHRONIC FATIGUE

CONSTIPATION

MUSCLE CRAMPS AND SPASMS

PROBLEMS DIGESTING FATS AND OILS

SLUGGISH LIVER

COPPER TOXICITY

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Thyroid function can break down for various reasons. Here is a simple

explanation of what can go wrong.

1. Thyroid hormone is made from a protein called TYROSINE. Tyrosine can be

made by converting phenalalinine, another protein, into tyrosine. This is

done using iron. If iron is too low, this will not occur.

2. Once tyrosine is made, it goes to the thyroid gland. The mineral

mangansese is then used to help convert it into thyroxin. Thyroxin is also

called T4. This is the same substance that doctors give as medication.

Iodine found in kelp and sea food is also involved.

3. Once thyroxin is made it goes to the liver. Some of it is set aside as

reserve.This is called reserve T4.The body puts some in reserve for times

of illness or stress. In the liver, it is changed to T3. T3 is actually the

hormone the body will later use.

This conversion is dependent upon zinc. Excessive levels of copper will

interfer with this conversion.

4. Once converted, T3 must be accepted by the cells of our body. Our cells

are more or less responsive to T3. Excess amounts of calcium make the cells

less responsive while potassium makes them more responsive.

5.Once in the cell, the mineral selenium helps the hormone work. Low levels

of the mineral will cause inactivity of the hormone. Selenium also helps

the production of an enzyme that aids in the conversion of T4 to T3.

Imbalances of the above nutrients can cause a condition where the enzymes

involved in T3 conversion and in helping the hormone to work can be hogged

by reserve T4. Durring times of illness and stress the body forms more

reserve T4 thinking it will soon need it.

The basis of low thyroid conditions that do not show up in blood work is

that the nutrients involved in the conversion of T4 to T3 and that help it

work become too low. So, while the hormone levels may show up normal in the

blood, the hormone is of poor quality and does not work well.

THE SOLUTION!!!

A four step program has recently been developed to help restore proper

thyroid function.

-The first step is to eliminate any infections, particularly viruses, which

can attack the thyroid.

-The next step is to detoxify the liver and digestive tract so that the

nutrients needed for thyroid function can be utilized.

-The third step is to detoxify the body from toxic metals such as mercury

and copper which are commonly found in excess in low thyroid function.

-The last step is to rebalance the body with any og the above mentioned

nutrients.

When the body has accumulated proper levels of nurients, the thyroid has a

chance to begin working again. We have seen that body temperatures begin to

rise again after a few months in most cases.

Dr. Biamonte about Thyroid problems:

THYROID RESEARCH UPDATE..THE NATURAL SOLUTION TO THYROID PROBLEMS!!

MY RESEARCH INTO WILSON'S SYNDROME IS COMPLETE!

In our last newsletter we discussed thyroid problems that failed to show up

in blood work. Low body temperature, below 97.8 when taken under the armpit

in the morning is key in identifying a person with this problem. The

following is a list of common symptoms.

{COLD HANDS AND FEET

{MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS

{MIGRAINE HEADACHES

{FIBROIDS

{CONSTIPATION

{HAIR LOSS

{DRY SKIN

{WEIGHT GAIN

{FATIGUE

{CHRONIC CANDIDA, VAGINAL INFECTIONS OR VIRUSES

I have just concluded my research into this condition. I have discovered

that when the minerals zinc and selenium are deficient the thyroid hormones

T4 and T3 cannot function correctly .

Thyroid hormone is produced using phenalaline and tyrosine which are amino

acids. Iron helps your body convert phenalaline to tyrosine. The mineral

manganese and the element iodine are then used to help produce T4, also

called " thyroxin " , in the thyroid. T4 travels to the liver where it is

converted to T3 which is the active form of thyroid hormone. The liver

using zinc, converts the hormone to T3. The mineral selenium is required to

convert T3 from the type the body will store for later use into the active

form that it will use in your cells. If there is not enough selenium, the

body may convert the T3 into a form that is stored for later use. This can

occur to excess and will rob the body of active T3 that is needed for

energy now. Potassium is then used to make you cells sensitive to the

effects of the hormone and helps the hormone work in your cells.

If any of these steps are interrupted 's syndrome will occur!!

To date, 95% of our clients who are on the new protocol are reporting their

body temperatures returning too normal!!!

HORMONE TESTING USING SALIVA FOUND MORE ACCURATE THAN BLOOD!!!

As part of my on going research here in Florida I have discovered a new

test developed by a researcher that is more accurate for determining

hormone levels then blood. This researcher has found that saliva measures

the amount of hormone that is available for the body to use. The blood

levels were found not to reflect the amount of hormone the body could use.

The blood reflected total amount, not the usable amount. He also found that

the blood tests for hormones were affected by stress. The simple stress of

being stuck with a needle to take to the test could throw off the hormone

levels significantly. The hormones that can be tested using this method are:

ESTROGEN

PROGESTERONE

TESTOSTERONE

MELATONIN

DHEA

CORTISOL

The tests are normally done in the morning at home when relaxed. The sample

is then mailed into the lab. We will have the results back within 3-4 days

after the lab receives the sample by fax. " -- Dr. Biamonte
