Hormones evoke maleness and femaleness. Few appreciate that the power of your body is regulated by Thyroid. The rate of burning energy is only driven by thyroid. The synchronization of each gland and process is a function of speeds. This means one lever should run the system. And it does. That lever is Thyroid hormone. Understand? Now when you start to lag down and you are generally not up to full stroke and full power, you will demand accurate investigation and management of your Thyroid.
Now that major public-made-cheap-shot-diagnosis hypochondriacs, can’t get warm, have sluggish, brain fog, moods all over the place, vague pains in all joints and stiffness. “Can you check my husband?” was a frequent request. (not many would come in) But you know thyroid was at the top of my list. Now the puffiness, the messed up periods, PMS, and the bones not laying down calcium like they used to. ( Lets see that is a metabolic process. Wake up bones can and do frequently fail to replace their calcium due to low metabolism. NOT LACK OF ESTROGEN, CALCIUM AND PROGESTERONE. Speaking of other sloppy diagnosis, did you get a thyroid level before being put on Cholesterol diets and drugs. Your cholesterol goes up due to Low Thyroid Levels. Before the roll you off to a nursing home, put it in your best friends “requests if anything happens to me” PLEASE GET ME A GOOD THYROID WORK UP. And all the rest of you whispering about dads memory.. get a good check up on his thyroid. Not just a TSH. See my videos and other blogs. Get your doctor to read one of them. There are books about the Hypothyroid epidemic. Is this starting to sound important to you?
Now you want to know what most likely is happening to you. If you are over 30 your thyroid levels are going down. If you drink water with Fluoride in it, you are poisoning your thyroid on a daily basis. Shall we continue? I think so. Then you will survive the Massive blunder of trusting the “only true test of thyroid: TSH”
So let’s think of thyroid hormone as cop cars traveling around the body. They are cars that are sealed off and unable to function until they get into a cell. It is fair to ask suppose you can count these cop cars. Then report their numbers as normal, think now… is this good? Only slightly good news, remember the cars have to enter the cells and open their doors and do their work. How can you do that with a blood test? Wouldn’t you rather have a cell level test for thyroid? Far better, so how are we going to do a cell-thyroid test?
The answer is so simple it flat escapes the science- based- lab- test- mandate health practitioners. This is Mega important. You ask the patient “how do you feel”? You ask loaded questions to ferret out low thyroid and exclude other diseases. This takes time and skill. This is lacking. You know it and so do I.
So how are we going to test the cell level of active thyroid? Look at the patient. They will be swollen. Their face is puffed. Their ankles are swollen and it does not leave a small pit when you push your thumb in the swelling. You measure morning temperatures and record them. They will be below 97.0 degrees Fahrenheit. The feel of the skin is dry and looks like the cream color of a church candle. In the fall winter and spring the extremities will be cool. Then you test the ankle reflex. It will be slow to return once you bang on the tendon. Make your doctor or some one do this. It is far better that the TSH which can run as high as $200 USD.
Back to the Blood Zip-lock bagged thyroid, What if it goes in the cells and there isn’t enough Selenium to process it. Last time I checked there was very little in the soil. Also needed adequate levels of Vitamin B. all of them. Plenty of vitamin A and essential fats. Here is a big one. No stress. No stress? That is right. Stress turns your thyroid making ability down. So does a diet and estrogen and the castration of the hormone by replacement of Iodine by chlorine, bromine and fluoride in the water and your tooth paste. Figure the dose of Fluorine over 6 to 10 years of city water (no it isn’t taken out of bottled water it is too expensive) and you have half the dose to put your thyroid away for good. Why? figure it.. IT ACCUMULATES.
You have other toxins dragging you down. We eat herbicides. They are shown to accumulate. They drag down the motors that process the blood thyroid to become active cell thyroid. How helpful do you imagine the mercury in you teeth is to the cells working through out your body. Go ahead search the web for Mercury. Then you will see why one blood test means very little if the conversions systems are semi poisoned by the toxins we eat breathe and drink. Better not trust the single channel TSH test to discover your next 30 years of misery if you don’t figure it out.
Now do you believe me that your thyroid level is not very helpful? If it has found you, the TSH test, I bet you could have been found 15 years sooner. Just the knowing that and living in the Western world would have put you and your doctor on a path of “watching your thyroid”. Oh yes a grain of thyroid was tried more times than is known to see if you felt better by our older “less scientific” caring doctors. But now, today’s “scientific doctor” would not do such a thing. Instead he depends on a cripple of a lab test to treat you or dismiss you to four other specialists. You had better know this and remember this.
