Thyroid Issues Part 2with

Lynne Hinton, Marlene Marshall, Gilda Rovan

Pathway of Thyroid Hormones

Negative feedback system

■ T4 & T3 blood concentration TSH and TRH

■ T4 & T3 blood concentration TSH and TRH

Function of the thyroid gland

■ Iodine plus tyrosine make T4 and T3

■ Ratio of 80% T4 and 20% T3

■ 40% T4 T3 selenium-dependent enzyme5'-deiodinase

■ T3 has 4 x the hormone strength of T4

■ 60% of T4 converted to inactive rT3

Why Thyroid Dysfunction?

■ Emotional / Physical stress cortisol

■ Heavy metal toxicity/ PCB’s

■ Auto-immune, inflammation

■ Radiation exposure

■ HRT/ BCP toxicity Estrogen

■ Iodinesoy/goitrogenic foods

■ Pregnancy

■ Growths on gland

Hormones

■ ↑ estrogen blocks iodine

■ Estrogen - antagonist to thyroid hormones

■ Progesterone facilitates thyroid hormones

■ Pregnancy

Stress

■ Daily life■ Physical shock■ Emotional Shock■ Crash dieting, bulimia■ Toxic exposure

Character Type■ Blocked in the 5th Chakra-comunication

■ Rigid Type, perfectionist, organized

■ High anxiety, obsessive compulsive

■ Likes to follow the rules, instructions

■ Lawyer, dentist, technician,

■ Doesn’t take a chance

■ Fears judgment

■ Tight neck, vocal cords, headaches

■ Shocked, frozen feelings, victim

■ Locked-in, no way out

■ Be spontaneous, accept change, play

Types of Thyroid Conditions

■ Hypothyroid- iodine, pH, inflammation

■ Hasimoto’s- T4, T3, autoimmune

■ Hyperactive- Graves T4, T3

■ Wilson’s-deficient enzyme T4T3rT3

Hashimoto’s

■ Underactive thyroid ↓ T4

■ Autoantibody attack on thyroid tissue

■ Bacteria / Virus / Fungal

■ Radiation

■ Parasites

■ Fluoridation

■ Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody

Graves

■ Overactive thyroid gland ↑T4

■ Autoantibody – thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)

■ Tumor on the gland

■ Blood test for thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)

■ Hyperthyroid → Hypothyroid

Bacteria / Virus / Fungal

■ Bacteria: Sanum Notakhel 10 drops BID or Utalin 10 drops BID

■ Virus: Genestra Acer Campestre & Platanus Orientalis , Methyl M or Chlorgen sponge

■ Fungal: CNC Grapefruit seed extract with Candex or oregano oil

#1 Treatment for endocrine system- balancing adrenals

Circadian rhythms are tied to Cortisol Rhythm

Hormonal systems interact with each otherAdrenal

Ovary/Testes ThyroidAny stress will affect thyroid cortisol TSH T4 and T3

Adrenal / Thyroid Assessment

Thyroid vs. Adrenal

Insufficiency Questionnaire

See handout

THYROID IMAGING TESTS

Nuclear Scan/Radioactive Iodine Uptake

■ Grave’s, toxic nodular goiter or thyroiditis

■ radioactive iodine 123 in pill form

■ xray to view concentration in thyroid

■ Hyperthyroid: “hot”: greater iodine uptake

■ Hypothyroid: “cold”: lower iodine uptake

■ Grave’s: RAI-U high/entire gland is ‘hot”

b

■ Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: patchy “hot” spots; low iodine uptake

■ Hot nodules may overproduce thyroid but are rarely cancerous

■ Cold nodules no iodine uptake: 10-20% cancerous

CT Scan: goiter, large thyroid nodules

Scans

MRI: size, shape enlargement of thyroid

Preferred to X-rays or CT Scan: no injection,dye, radiation, cannot diagnose hypo or hyper

Ultrasound: Evaluates nodules, lumps, gland enlargement, cannot determine malignancy, evaluation of antithyroid treatment

MEDICATION vs NUTRITIONALS

■ Synthetic Levothyroxine / Synthroid

■ T4, no T3

■ Not usable by the body

■ Patients don’t feel well

■ Better if T3 is added

MEDICATION vs NUTRITIONALS

■ Dessicated / Compounded Thyroid (Armour not in Canada)

■ T4+T3

■ Hormones are usable by body

■ Temporary palliative treatment while you:

– Clean the terrain

– Change the diet

– Heal the emotions

■ Note: pharmacies using lactose as filler

MEDICATION vs NUTRITIONALS■ Weak or Exhausted Adrenals

Must be strengthened before/ during

■ Sleep: 11:00 p.m. 8 ½ hours in total darkness , prevents symptoms of overactive thyroid

■ Thyroid Hormones

T4: need tyrosine and iodine

T3 conversion: need Vitamin E, zinc, copper, selenium

Nutritional/Homeopathic■ Liver is important for conversion of T4 to T3

■ Phase I: Cytochrome P450 Pathway: toxins in

B2, B3, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Amino Acids, Flavinoids, Selenium, Phospholipids

■ Phase II: Conjugated Pathways: toxins are sorted

■ Water soluble toxins to kidneys

■ Fat soluble toxins to bile and feces

■ Amino acids: glutathione, glycine, taurine, glutamine, ornithine, arginine, N-acetylcysteine, cysteine, methionine

Nutritional/Homeopathic

■ RTRE has what is needed for both phases

■ Unda #1 helps with liver conjugation of T4 to T3 with Gammadyne Se (selenium)

■ Unda #1, 20, 258 gathers and catabolizes toxins

■ Unda #243 and 45 (and if needed, #2) helps get them out of the body

Unda’s for Thyroid

■ #10 Female hormone disorders

■ #16 Glandular irregularities, drains thyroid

■ #1000 all Para & thyroid problems, goiters

■ #34 Pancreas/adrenal

■ #74 liver conversion T4 to T3

Weaning off Medication■ Unda HTHY: 10 drops bid/tid regulates

hypo and hyperthyroid

■ Genestra Fucus Complex : alternate HTHY

OR

■ 200K to regulate, then

■ 4CH Organotherapy to stimulate hypo or 9CH to suppress hyper

■ Finish with 200K

■ Biomed BIOTHY: B & C, pituitary, iodine, balances like T100 body takes what it needs

■ AOR T100: dessicated T4 and T3

■ CNC TSF: produce T4 & convert to T3

■ CNC Thyrex: homeopathic with TSF

■ Genestra TPTP Pituitary glandular 1 bid/tid if problem is due to estrogen toxicity

■ Biotone EFA: modulate cortisol / HGH

■ St. John’s Wort Plus: emotions opens pineal Seat of the Soul regulator of all glands NOT WITH ANTIDEPRESSANTS

■ Gemmotherapy

■ Viburnum Lantana: hyperthyroid / Grave’s

■ Cornus Sanguinea: ↓ T4 temporarily if hyper then use Juniperus with #16 then #14 to eliminate toxins . Also for hypothyroid caused by liver or pituitary

■ Prunus Amygdalus: hypothyroid & hypercholesterolemia

Therapy Blockades

■ Create disturbances of the vegetative nervous system & subsequently,

■ Disturbances in all areas regulated by this system.

■ The effect of biological remedies & the healing process is blocked.

Main therapy blockades in practice

1. Vertebral column, displaced vertebra

2. Energy Blockades – cold hands, feet belly, buttocks

Main therapy blockades in practice cont’d

3. Allopathic medicine – vaccinations, meds, chemo, hormones, especially cortisone

“A Comprehensive Guide to Sanum Therapy” by Gunter Weigel, ND

■ For cortisone, SANUKEHL Pseu

pH Range of AcceptanceHeavy Metal / Mercury Detox

■ R.T.R.E (CNC)

■ DTX (CNC)

■ HMX (CNC)

■ AMD (Genestra)

■ Cilantrogen or Chlorophyll (Genestra)

Cautions and Contraindications:

■ For high mercury levels, oral glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, NAC and antioxidants in general are dangerous

Cautions and Contraindications:

■ When taken orally they can drag the mercury through the blood-brain barrier and deposit it in the brain. Lipid Exchange IV (glutathione, phosphatidyl choline, B12) may be a safer method.

■ Use DMPS challenge for high mercury loads. It's a very safe way to assess the load.

■ When mercury levels are lowered, then the antioxidants can be used orally.

Heavy Metal/Mercury Detox

■ Waiora Natural Cellular Defense
