[Guest guest]

NUMBER: One thyroid but two lobes (see Thyroid title page)

SHAPE: Butterfly shaped (see Thyroid title page)

SIZE: 2 inches X 1 inch (each lobe)

 

LOCATION: At the base of the front part of the neck (see Thyroid title

page)

 

FUNCTION:

Regulates metabolism, produces:

 

Thyroglobulin a protein (not a hormone) which helps store and transport

thyroid hormones.

 

T-2 - Calcitonin - helps regulate blood phosphate and calcium ion levels

 

 

T-3 - Triiodothyronine - regulates energy by balancing carbohydrate and

protein synthesis. They also activate growth and the nervous system. The

pituitary stimulates the thyroid to produce these hormones.

 

T-4 - Thyroxine - regulates energy by balancing carbohydrate and protein

synthesis. They also activate growth and the nervous system. The

pituitary stimulates the thyroid to produce these hormones.

 

KINESIOLOGY: Either side of the Adam's apple. Touch and tap both points

together and then individually (see page Thyroid-6

 

IRIDOLOGY: Both eyes towards the bridge of the nose. Right eye at 2:20

to 2:40 and in the left eye at 9:20 to 9:40. The lesion or weakened

fiber must touch the autonomic nerve wreath. (see page thyroid -7).

There need not be a lesion to indicate a problem. Any disruption in the

fiber, no matter how slight, could indicate a chronic weakness.

 

REFLEXOLOGY: Both feet down from the big toe in the ball of the foot.

(see page thyroid-

 

HELPS TO IMPROVE FUNCTION: Adequate iodine ingestion essential. Healthy

nervous system.

 

DETRIMENTAL TO ITS HEALTH: The chemical fluoride and the chemical

chlorine (not to be mistaken with the minerals fluorine and chlorine

which actually are good for the Thyroid) blocks iodine receptors.

Radiation treatments anywhere in the body sometimes settles in the

thyroid (kelp helps draw it out)

 

POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS/HEALTH CONDITIONS:

 

Goiter - Enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by an iodine

deficiency.

 

HYPERACTIVITY (OVERACTIVE)

 

Hyperthyroidism - symptoms: weight-loss, nervousness, heart palpitations

which can eventually lead to serious heart damage, irritability and

later bulging of the eyes.

 

HYPOACTIVE (UNDERACTIVE)

 

Myxedema- develops after growth and development. Characterized by Edema

(swelling), drooping, swollen eyes, low levels of T3 and T4 hormones,

Mental retardation, weight gain and sluggishness.

 

Colloid goiter - caused by a lack of Iodine.

 

Hypothyroidism - under functioning thyroid which leads to weight gain,

lack of energy, thinning of hair, drying of skin and slowed mentality.

 

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES

 

Hashimoto's Disease - The body becomes allergic to the thyroid hormone

and the body's immune system starts to attack the thyroid.

 

Thyroiditis - inflammation of the thyroid caused by a virus, bacteria or

an autoimmune reaction.

 

MAIN MINERALS: Iodine, Chlorine, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium and

Calcium.

 

MAIN VITAMINS: A, B-6, B-12, C, D, and E

 

HERBS REASON FOR USE

Black Walnut For parasites and a high source of Iodine

Kelp High in iodine

Horseradish High in Vitamin C, A and B-complex

Parsley Builds

Bayberry Supports during hypothyroidism

Goldenseal Supports during hypothyroidism

 

 

HERBAL COMBINATION REASON FOR USE

Thyroid Activator (formally KC-X) Overactivity or underactivity

Target TS II Underactivity

TS II with Hops Overactivity

 

 

HOMEOPATHIC REASON FOR USE

Calor Supports the body in maintaining and utilizing energy output.

Vigor/Vitality Helps with energy

 

 

Homeopathics are a quick working solution, however, I would still

nutritionally support the thyroid when working with the homeopathics for

better results.

 

OTHER NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS REASON FOR USE

Liquid dulse (I don't carry this) High and easily assimilated Iodine

 

 

 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

 

Increasing too quickly or taking too much iodine will give you a

headache.

 

Check and support the pituitary gland. When working with the glandular

system it is advisable to support all other glands. I suggest using

Mastergland as a base and then add the thyroid herb or combination.

 

Body signs - Lines horizontal on front of neck. Less than 10 moons on

fingernails.

 

Iodine test - get liquid iodine from the drug store. At night paint the

entire bottom of foot. Let dry and go to bed. If in the morning the body

has absorbed the iodine you are deficient in iodine. CAUTION: This is an

inorganic source of Iodine and can be poisonous if done often. It is not

a good source of Iodine. DO NOT USE THIS SOURCE AS A SUPPLEMENT!

 

I prefer the Basil test ( see page thyroid -5 & 6)

 

Cruciferous vegetables such as: Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage slow

down the function of the thyroid. Dr. Scala's supplements and protectors

are based on cruciferous vegetables check for sensitivity.

 

If a pregnant woman has an underactive thyroid her child could be born

with Cretinism (a form of mental retardation). The baby could also have

a dwarfed body.

 

Women who lose babies because of a lack of or a misplaced chromosome in

the baby should suspect that their thyroid function was such that their

body temperature was not high enough to incubate the baby properly.

 

QUESTIONS TO ASK : Yes answer indicates

Have you noticed changes in your hair, skin, energy level or weight

fluctuation Hypoactive

Are you experiencing nervousness and does your eye or eyes seem to be

bulging Hyperactive

 

 

ADDITIONAL READING: None of which I am aware.

 

 

The focus of this site is to " educate, validate, and suggest alternative

methods for the treatment of health conditions, " which are not readily

available to those who go through mainstream programs.

 

To help ensure good results, high quality foods and supplements are

vital. Knowing that the cost of supplements can get overwhelming, we

provide a wholesale store.

 

This is a courtesy, not a requirement for you to ask your questions. We

are here to help people, not just gain customers.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

 

***When working with natural health it is beneficial that you have an
