I would like to lead you to this article and to the other articles found there that sadly, so many miss. This will give you deeper instruction that then will more fully inform and equip you. Their is a wonderful amount of really sound information. Please remember, this is just a small segment of what John B. has included to teach us. "Primary Symptoms of Hypothyroidism Type II" The thyroid is the master gland of the endocrine system. It determines the basal metabolic rate for the body, so one of the most noticeable signs of thyroid malfunction is low body temperature (below 97.6 degrees) and a resulting intolerance to cold. Puffiness along the jaw line and around the eyes are another telltale sign. Hair loss, brittle nails, dry skin, migraines, immune suppression, asthma and allergies, heart arrhythmias, anxiety, depression, stubborn weight gain, menstrual problems and infertility are all common symptoms of thyroid insufficiency. Left untreated, this type of thyroid suppression can lead to: Heart disease Osteoporosis High blood pressure and cholesterol Diabetes Chronic Fatigue Rheumatoid pain and joint deformations Factors That Complicate Diagnosis and Treatment 1. Heavy Metal Toxicity - The thyroid is highly susceptible to the damaging effects of environmental toxins. Detoxification protocols to reduce the toxic burden on the body are critical to successful recovery. 2. Chemical Toxicity and Fungal Overload - Many chemicals and fungal mycotoxins have an estrogenic effect on the body, further suppressing thyroid function. 3. Nutritional Deficiencies - Mineral deficits are common, particularly magnesium, zinc, selenium and of course, iodine. These and any others present must be addressed. 4. Adrenal Exhaustion - Suppressed adrenal function has an adverse effect on both diagnosis and treatment due to the closely interrelated functions of the glands. Blessings, Peter |
