Hyperthyroidism

March 27, 2009

My 27 year old sister has hyperthyroidism and she is nursing a 5 month old. Have

any of you had hyperthyroidism and if so, is there a non-drug approach that is

effective? Also, that would not affect the baby through breastmilk?

Thank you!

---Glandular imbalances

Each individual's case may be a little different. Different contributing

causes, different solutions. However, in Cayce Medicine we might say

that any illness in the body is created by one or more of these three

factors:

1. mental-emotional stress,

2. pressure upon nerves (often at the spine),

3. toxicity (localized or systemic).

Glandular problems are no exception. In the case of the thyroid, we

might ask if the body is toxic overall, or perhaps just locally. If so,

what would we do to clear this up?

Since the thyroid is located at the base of the throat, we might check

the neck and shoulders to see if they are tense. If so, perhaps the

tension is disrupting the circulation of blood, lymph, and nerve

energies to the area - creating the abnormal thyroid activity. Should

this be the case, it is best for the tension to be relieved.

Are the mind and emotions being chosen in such a way that they might

express poorly through the thyroid gland? Are the mind and emotions the

cause of tension and disrupted circulation in the neck and shoulder

area? Are other glands possibly involved?

These sorts of questions can begin to focus us on what has gone wrong

and what needs to change in order to restore a healthy balance.

Typical suggestions for addressing hypothyroid issues might include:

1. Neck and shoulder massage, castor oil pack at neck, and/or

spinal manipulation,

2. Atomidine on a 1-2-3-4-5-0-0 drop schedule (which detoxifies

the glands),

3. Meditation to change patterns of doubt to belief, worry to

faith, feeling overwhelmed to dwelling in harmony, wariness to

peace, and impatience to patience.

Atomidine can be given in a series this is to balance the glands one drop daily

in half a glass of water for five days stop for three days then to two drops

daily for five days stop for three days. Then back to one drop daily then a rest

and start the regime again.

A cleansing of the glands was the first priority, a drop of atomidine in half a

glass of water in the morning before any meal is taken for 5 days, and then 2

drops for 5 days then leave off entirely

Cayce found a lack of activity of the thyroid glands, which causes this

disturbance in the body where apparently for no cause, there are patches on the

body that are bald. These come from circulation and from the lack of certain

elements in the diet.

For the glandular forces give small quantities of Atomidine to purify the

glandular system. In the beginning take one drop in half a glass of water before

the morning meal, each day for three to five days; leave off five days, then

take again for five days. Then leave off.

At the beginning of the second rest period from the Atomidine, start massaging

the body of evenings when ready to go to bed on those areas of scalp and where

the baldness appears, using Pure Hog Lard. Massage this thoroughly into the

areas and bind up. The next morning bathe off, and then in the evening apply

again. Do this for three to four days in succession, then leave off for a week

- during which period another series of Atomidine would be taken.

1904-1 F 52

Cayce found disturbing conditions This needs attention to stop other problems.

The disturbing forces arise from, primarily the glandular system; caused by an

unbalancing in the chemical reactions in the system and not sufficient iodides ,

also pressures upon the nerve system were found - to cause a disturbance in

the locomotion of the body at times.

The blood supply has also become unbalanced, so that there is insufficient

vitamins in the blood as assimilated through these glandular disturbances to

produce the proper capillary circulation. A cleansing was required , to help the

glandular forces .begin first with taking small doses of Atomidine..For the

first seven days, take one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning

before any meal is taken. Then leave same off five days. Then begin taking

TWO minims each morning for seven days. Then leave off five days. Then at the

third series take THREE minims in half a glass of water (not more than this)

each morning for the seven days. Leave off three to five days.

How can I regain my hair (which I have been losing since my late teens - thought

by a doctor to be due to a sickness, which I had for several years with earache,

fever and headache)?

4056-1 M 26

Cayce found a lack of activity of the glands in the thyroid area. This causes a

weakness in the activities to nails and hair over the body.

Take small doses of Atomidine to purify in the thyroid activity. Take one drop

each morning for five days in succession. Then leave off for five days.

During that period give the scalp a thorough massage with crude oil; using the

electrically driven vibrator with the suction applicator this was to be done

very thoroughly, for at least thirty to forty minutes for the massage with the

crude oil and then the application of white Vaseline and then the electrically

driven vibrator using the suction cup applicator.

Then begin the first of the next week with the Atomidine, one drop each morning

for five days. Then give another crude oil shampoo following with the white

Vaseline and the vibrator treatment.

Leave these off then for two weeks.

Then have another complete series, but between each two series allow two weeks

to elapse. Doing these, we will find that in six to eight months it will begin

to stimulate the activities for the growth of hair over the scalp and on body.

Diet must carry iodine in their natural forms. Use only kelp salt or deep-sea

salt. Eat plenty of seafoods.

Not too much sweets.

Atomidine was also recommended in 42% of cases but due to its high iodine

content this was recommended in specific dosages and treatment cycles. Excessive

iodine in the system could overstimulate the thyroid and result in harmful

effects in the body. Never take atomidine when you are using thyroid medicine or

other drugs as the drugs could react with each other and have undesirable

effects. The most common dosage was one drop taken daily for five days followed

by a five-day rest period then one-drop daily then rest for five days. Then

resume the cycle.Daily dosages ranged from one to eight drops daily. It was

recommended that atomidine was taken in half glass of water in the morning

before eating. Frequently atomidine was coordinated with Epsom salt baths and

massage with the baths being taken during the rest period and immediately

following the atomidine sequence.

5 After the osteopathic adjustments have been given then take a course of

atomidine which should be given starting with one drop twice a day increasing by

one drop per day until you are taking 5 drops twice daily then continue for a

further 3 days and then reduce by one drop per day until the original dose is

used. Then rest a week or two then repeat this regime 3-4 times. The atomidine

is for the cleansing of the glands and for the glandular forces of the body.

BACKGROUND 5345-1 F 35

For some time she has been suffering with sugar diabetes, no help from MD's. .

She's read the book THERE IS A RIVER and is ready to accept and follow anything

that may come through the reading. "

Cayce cautioned to apply corrections to the diet, this with the spinal

corrections , will bring much better conditions and reactions with this Person.

He found a subluxation, caused from a strain many years ago and has gradually

been a great pressure, which has caused overactivity in the pancreas and spleen

area, and from this created in the body, too much sugar. This affects the

activity of the kidneys and bladder, as well as the general nervous system and

the incoordination in the areas of the brachials, just a little higher up, which

cause distresses to organs of sensory system, general nervous system and the

glandular forces of the body.

Alternative Treatment

Edgar cayce gave over 250 readings for epilepsy and associated disorders. In

Reba Ann karps book a study was made of about 84 readings for 37 people with an

age range of 20 months to 62 yrs old.

There are quite a few files at the A.R.E. which members can research further and

anyone contemplating treatment would well advised to consult with them.

Causes

1.Most frequently mentioned was glandular imbalances, which implied adhesions

and lesions in the lacteal area of the intestines.

2. Other glands were mentioned particularly the pineal.

3. In 16 cases spinal sublaxations and lesions were found to be a direct cause

with mention of other vertebrae out of alignment in any part of the spine. These

misalignments would interfere with the proper supply of nutrients and or nerve

impulses which were needed in other parts of the body the lack of which would

result in

) What causes and what should be done to correct, excess growth of hair on legs

and arms? Is this from a glandular condition? (A) Cayce said A glandular

condition, combined with a disturbance in the general circulation.

Do not use anything other than too the thyroids to make better activity there;

this done better by manipulation than by drugs.

From epilepsy file

(Q) Why are the menstrual periods irregular? (A) A problem partly from the

circulation and the adjusting of the bodily functions from the glandular forces

of the whole system to the activity of such periods. The adjustments and

manipulations are for these specific disturbances; as also the purifying of the

glands by the use of iodized salt.

Cayce gives the causes of Glaucoma; to do with the functioning of the glands in

origin with mention of spinal misalignments causing other blockages where proper

channels needed to be kept open, Toxins or infectious forces could also cause

problems in the system, poor eliminations and kidney and liver imbalances were

also mentioned. Karma was also mentioned.

According to cayce any of these conditions either singly or combined could

interfere with the proper nutriments that feed the eyes and or nerve impulses,

which go to the eyes.

To another who had been treated for glaucoma by conventional means, this lady

was in excrutiating pain Cayce said there was incorrect activities from the

adrenal glands and their effect on the kidneys, which had their effect on other

organs, which produced slowness in the eliminations. The emphasis on

eliminations is a crucial factor in maintaining good health in this case it was

effecting the optic nerve.

630-3 F 37

" About 8 mos. ago (eye specialist) told me I had Glaucoma and Iritis

Pigmentosis, but being an optimist I thought they would be all right. Now I am

at home and Dr. says my eyes are decidedly worse.

Cayce found disturbances with the glandular system, related to the activities of

the adrenals. This made for an unbalanced condition relating to the supply of

energies in the circulation to the sensory forces. This hinders or impoverishes

the supply to the optic forces; producing a relaxation that causes the problem

in the eye reflex itself. These hinder in the kidneys' activity in bringing

about elimination, and a flow of secretions that are a part of same deflect

through the supply to optic forces.

Cayce sited the causes of M.S.as being varied but briefly it was the lack of

gold in the body which caused a glandular imbalance which in turn caused a

hormonal deficiency.This hormone was said to be vital to the proper functioning

of the nerves.

Also it can be stated that even with enough gold present in the system the body

still has to have the ability to use it, it was this ability that was lacking in

some of the cases that cayce dealt with. The body has to have the ability to

absorb or assimilate the gold.

I know this post is two years old, but I would like to respond. Hyperthyroidism has plagued me for a couple of years now. I have been taking the following for only two weeks and I am finally feeling GREAT! I am off all medication. I am taking: rhemannia (eating about 15 grams a day,) 2 grams of powdered oyster shell a day, and I make a tea of passion flower and licorice once a day. I have finally put my weight back on and am eating less. The above combination is the Chinese "cure" for hyperthyroidism believing that the disease is caused by a deficiency of yin, and the blood needs to be "cooled." It's worked wonders for me!
