Answer to Ccherblady and other hypos

[Guest guest]

Hi and other hypos,

I really feel that hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are flip sides of the

same mineral deficiency disease. I have had both and both times I have

recovered by using mineral supplementation. It seems that people with thyroid

problems very often flip-flop between hyper and hypo conditions, so it's

important for all of us with those tendencies to understand both sides of the

problem.

I think the reason people alternate between hypo and hyper states is that

there is a deficiency and imbalance in the minerals zinc and copper which seem

to regulate the thyroid (perhaps other minerals are involved also). Zinc

appears to act like the accelerator and copper the brake. Both are necessary

but if one is deficient, hypo or hyper thyroidism results.

I named this group hyperthyroidism because I wanted to tackle this side of

the problem first, but I have every intention of gaining a complete

understanding of both thyroid conditions. Perhaps eventually renaming the

group may be appropriate to bring everyone with thyroid problems in. We need

your and other hypothyroidics' input into our thinking and testing to make

sure we totally understand all the aspects of thyroid diseases.

Thank you for being a part and please--we want your input!

Thanks, Your friend,
