Who (or What) Kidnapped My Thyroid?

What the Heck is a Thyroid Anyway?

Are you one of the thousands, perhaps millions,of individuals (primarily woman over 40) who struggle with a sluggish thyroid?

Have you been told you have Hypothyroidism, or Hyperthyroidism. Or Hashimoto’s Disease or Grave’s Disease. How about thyroid nodules that can be both cancerous and benign?

It can be mind boggling for anyone trying to get to the bottom of whether or not their thyroid is working properly. To make matters worse, most of the time we are dealing with a medical community that just doesn’t understand what the Thyroid is, or why you are having difficulty.

Let me tell you, you are not alone!

Every day we get desperate cries for help from all over the world about thyroid impairment, thyroid exhaustion, thyroid nodules, and yes, thyroid cancer. These issues are the single most-commonly occurring hormonal disturbance in America today.

We have the answers.

Because this has become such a huge issue, we thought it was time to devote some real space in our newsletters to understanding the thyroid.

Let’s start with; What actually IS a thyroid anyway?

The Thyroid – What is it Exactly?

Thyroid Gland ImageThe thyroid is an endocrine gland located in the front of our necks. It stores and produces hormones that affect the function of virtually every organ in our bodies. Thyroid hormones Triiodothyronine or T3 and Thyroxine or T4 regulate our metabolic rate, and is associated with modest changes in body weight and energy levels.

The thyroid is the “master of metabolism” and as such controls body temperature, digestive enzyme synthesis, stomach acid production, calorie burning, fat and protein synthesis and white blood cell activity. It is crucial for menstruation and activity of all reproductive hormones.

An interesting point is that thyroid hormones are created not just in your thyroid, but also in a woman’s ovaries (Diiodothyronine or T2) and in the white blood cells of your bone marrow.

How Does it Work?

Your thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain. The pituitary gland keeps checking the amount of thyroid hormone in your blood. Then it tells your thyroid to make more or less hormone so there’s always the right amount.

Your thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormone. Iodine comes from food, mainly seafood and dairy products. Iodine was added to table salt in 1924 at the request of the US Government in response to certain regions in the US where the soil was lacking natural iodine, and people in these areas were developing goiters, or swelling of the thyroid gland.

What Can Go Wrong?

The problem begins when we do not eat properly.  Diets high in junk food and heavy meat consumption can often be low in selenium, which assists in iodine production.

Sometimes the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone, which is called hypothyroidism. When you don’t have enough thyroid hormone, parts of your body work too slowly.

Symptoms of underactive thyroid include:

  • Feeling tired
  • Feeling cold even when other people are comfortable or even warm
  • Having a slow heart rate and dry skin
  • Being constipated
  • Gaining weight even though you’re not eating more or exercising less than usual
  • In children, growing very slowly

Sometimes the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone, which is called hyperthyroidism. Think of your body as a car and your thyroid as the engine. An overactive thyroid makes your body idle too fast.

Symptoms of overactive thyroid gland include:

  • Feeling nervous and irritable
  • Having trouble concentrating
  • Feeling too warm even when other people don’t feel warm
  • Having a fast heart rate and diarrhea
  • Having trouble sleeping
  • Losing weight without trying

Plumber's Secret for Naturally Lowering High Blood Pressure


Keep Your Heart Healthy

In the United States, February is Heart Health Month. It is aptly named, as heart disease is the number one killer in America. High blood pressure is the #1 reason.

If your blood pressure is near 200/100, you are a walking time bomb! The pressure in your arteries and veins builds up and up, until they simply burst.

High blood pressure also leads to a stroke, where blood is blocked from getting to your brain. At this point you are either dead or close to it.

Recovery from a stroke is a long process, as you are unable to talk, think, or move properly. It can often take a year or more of excruciating effort to rewire your brain and regain your lost speech and mobility, along with risky drugs to “thin your blood” in the hopes of keeping another stroke from happening again.

Read on to discover the Plumber’s Secret to Naturally Lowering Blood Pressure. Your heart will thank you!


What Causes this Epidemic of High Blood Pressure?

Sugar.

It sounds so sweet! It is. Sugar has single-handedly caused an epidemic in this country of disease. Our nation’s addiction to sugary sodas, donuts, breads and cakes has caused continually climbing rates of obesity, which, in turn, has played a part in high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and ultimately – DEATH.

Everyone wants to blame fatty foods for the ever-increasing levels of obesity and cancer in this country. To some degree they are right. You simply cannot overeat and not expect to become obese. However, the overwhelming proof is that it is sugar that is wreaking havoc on many.

Just look around – our children are becoming obese before they even hit pre-school. Teenagers are carrying weighty “tires” around their mid-sections. Unfortunately, they are following a trend of increased sugar consumption that the generation before them began. It’s a life-time of over-indulgence – all rooted in sugar.

This illustration shows how hopeless the sugar cycle really is. Crave – High – Crash… just like a drug addict. The next “fix” cannot come soon enough. The cycle continues…


Sugar Craving - Rush - Crash Cycle
Some of the things we thought were true, about what causes high blood pressure, may have been wrong. Studies now show that sugar may be worse than salt in creating the perfect environment for high blood pressure! Click Here to read the article.


End the Cycle of “Heart Disease”

Step 1: Clean up Your Diet
Start today to incorporate a plant-strong diet. Begin by removing all dairy. Replace cow’s milk with Almond, Coconut, Cashew or Flax Milk. They’re high in calcium and can start your family toward a healthier outlook on life!

Step 2: Say “No” to Excessive Sugar!
When you have a taste for something sweet – have fruit! It really does satisfy a sweet tooth. Better yet, drink a glass of lemon water. Studies show that many cravings and hunger pangs are often a sign of dehydration!

Step 3: Keep Your Arteries Flowing!
When a water main bursts, during the frigid winter months, what is to be done? Nothing – it’s too late. The only thing that can be done, once they burst, is to replace them. The answer is in preventative care: wrapping the pipes in heat tape and making sure there is adequate air flow around them to keep them warm.

We must treat our arteries with the same preventative care we would our pipes in our homes. Diet, exercise and amazing supplementation is the answer to prevent bursting of your most precious arteries.


Plumber’s Secret for Lowering Blood Pressure

An amazing amino acid called L-Arginine, naturally dilates the diameter of your body’s blood vessels, allowing blood to pump easier throughout your arteries and veins, and your blood pressure falls like a rock!

Even if your blood pressure regularly scores at 200 or more, we have seen customer’s scores plummet to 140’s in just weeks, when incorporated with daily exercise and a heart friendly diet.

L-Arginine is used by the body to create a substance called “Nitric Oxide”, now the hottest thing in the endurance exercise world. Nitric oxide lowers blood pressure, prevents excessive clotting and inflammation associated with coronary artery disease, and protects against heart attack and stroke.

In exercising mice, who received a powdered form of Arginine, the animals experienced a dramatic drop in serum Blood Pressure and a significant regression of their atherosclerotic lesions compared to the other groups. The researchers attribute this to the increased nitric oxide produced by exercise and Arginine.

What Prevents Heart Attacks?

The Miracle Mineral that Gets Directly to Your Heart!

There is one gigantic missing element in nearly every single person today, and that is a sufficient amount of Magnesium. This is the miracle mineral I have been talking about for years to anyone who will listen. Without it, your heart stops beating and you go into Cardiac Arrest. It’s just like your car running out of gasoline. Magnesium is the FUEL your heart runs on!

Think about that for a second.

Years ago, after ridding my body of cancer, I started out in the alternative medicine industry, telling the story of high Magnesium liquid minerals at county fairs and farmer’s markets all across the west in California, Utah, Idaho and Colorado.

My passion for healing all stems from the knowledge of what minerals can do to trigger “Contagious Health” – in particular, the effect that adequate amounts of Magnesium has on the heart. Whether you are an Olympic athlete or an elderly individual, you must have Magnesium.

I have been screaming from the rooftops, about the essential requirement of all minerals for years – in particular, Magnesium.

Magnesium Works Miracles in Your Body

“Those who consumed the lowest amounts of Magnesium were almost twice as likely to develop heart disease, compared to those who consumed the highest amounts.”

Source: Honolulu Heart Program, the National Institute for Longevity Science in Japan and the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Dietary records of 7,000 middle-aged men (ages 45-68 years), reviewed over 30 years, showed a clear association between the risk of coronary heart disease and a dietary intake of Magnesium.

Magnesium Doesn’t Stop There!
Magnesium is important in nearly every function and tissue in the body. It supports a healthy immune system, lowers stress, reduces the risk of developing diabetes, ward off depression and migraines.

Magnesium is necessary to convert Calcium so it can be properly absorbed by the body. When Magnesium is deficient, the body “calcifies” from the unused Calcium. This is how hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) occurs, as the calcification builds up and blocks the artery – all because of a lack of one little mineral.

How Much Magnesium Do We Need?
A lot. Science tell us that we need 600-1200 mg’s throughout the day.
