(25-07-12) Heal your thyroid by banishing inflammation, boosting immunity and improving digestive health

by PF Louis

(NaturalNews) Thyroid hormones regulate other hormones, including the adrenal
glands' adrenaline production. Thyroid gland hormones also influence cellular
metabolism, digestion, libido, and overall energy.

There are three maladies involving the thyroid. Not everyone knows he or she
has a thyroid issue even while exhibiting low energy or the inability to lose
weight. One is an autoimmune disease and the other two are conditions.

The disease is known as Hashimoto's disease, which actually slowly destroys
the thyroid while potentially creating both conditions. In addition to both
conditions alternating with Hashimoto's disease, a swollen thyroid or goiter
which becomes evident.

The two conditions are hypothyroidism, not enough hormone production or
utlization, and the other is hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid that causes
too much hormone production.

Hypothyroidism is the more common condition with its symptoms of low energy,
fatigue, low libido, overweight problems and sensitivity to cold.

Hyperthyroidism can lead to nervousness, restlessness, manic behavior, and
difficulty concentrating. Goiter and weight loss can also manifest. Pre-Nazi
Germany used sodium fluoride to reduce the excessive hormone production of
hyperthyroid patients.

Now, fluoride is in over 75 percent of USA's public water supplies, to keep
American citizens dumb and docile with decreased thyroid hormone production.

It's a good idea to eliminate the possibility of Hashimoto's disease before
pursuing hypothyroid solutions because the solutions for hypothyroidism are
actually dangerous for those with Hashimoto's disease.

Hypothyroidism signs and remedies
Hypothyroidism may be the most common hormonal deficiency in the Western
world. It can even occur when the thyroid does produce enough thyroid hormones
that are not utilized properly. That's known as thyroid hormone resistance,
which produces the same symptoms as hypothyroidism.

Many who think they have fibromyalgia may simply have one of these two
manifestations of hypothyroidism. According to Dr. John Lowe, conventional
testing can fall short of diagnosing hypothyroidism, especially for those with
thyroid hormone resistance.

That's because the T3, T4, and TH hormone counts can appear normal with
someone experiencing thyroid hormone resistance. Also, allopathic
endocrinologists often have a low expectation of normal. When it comes to
remedying thyroid hormone resistance, the high amounts of thyroid hormone Dr.
Lowe recommends shock the average endocrinologist.

Dr. Lowe has discovered that treating fibromyalgia complaints the same as
hypothyroidism works very well. He uses an additional TRH (thyroid releasing
hormone) test with symptom observations.

A simple self-administered test would be to take your temperature immediately
upon waking up from a regular night's sleep. A low temperature indicates
probable thyroid hormone deficiency, according to Donna Gates of Body Ecology
website.

Here is an abbreviated list of other symptoms, most of which resemble
fibromyalgia.

* Fatigue mistaken as fibromyalgia
* Unable to lose or stop gaining weight
* Feeling cold easily and often
* Dry skin, eyes, or hair
* Excess muscle tension
* Low immunity
* Low basal body temperature
* Delayed tendon reflex, when the foot returns position slowly after tapping
the Achilles heel

It's common for holistic health practitioners to recommend a quality iodine
supplement or seaweed consumption. Iodine is thyroid food. They also recommend
various natural thyroid hormone supplements.

It makes sense that increased fibromyalgia incidents coincide with a rise in
iodine deficiency since iodine was taken out of table salt. Increasing iodine
or using thyroid hormone supplements will help a thyroid that's hormone
deficient.

Additionally, a comprehensive metabolic approach is required that could also
prove helpful for Hoshimoto's disease.

Avoid inflammation causing processed foods and pharmaceutical drugs. Eat
organically produced whole vegetables, nuts, legumes, fruits and grains (some
say eliminate grains). Hydrate with non-fluoridated water, exercise, and stress
less. (http://www.naturalnews.com/032129_fluoridation_intelligence.html)
