Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 I would have to agree with on this...for myself I suffer with thyroiditis, and whenever I feel " sluggish " I don't take medication, but use a " coffee enema " to rid the liver/gallbladder of toxins. To quote Dr Jonn Matsen N.D. from his book " Eating Alive " THE LIVER AS METABOLIC DIRECTOR " Doctor, I'm so tired " . That is the complaint a naturopathic physician hears most frequently. Fatigue is very common. If we look at the liver as being the powerhouse, we will realize that we can only throw sand in it for only so long before the energy output decreases. While there are many causes of fatigue, the factor that leads to improved energy the quickest and most reliably is improved liver function. Decreasing the intestinal-toxin load on the liver usually allows it to quickly spring back to life, with a resultant increase in energy. The metabolic rate has long been known to be regulated by the hormones from the thyroid gland, and synthetic thyroid hormone is commonly used to replace that not produced by a sluggish thyroid. Some popular books would have you believe that half the the population have a genetically weak thyroid that requires us to take synthetic thyroid hormone the rest of our lives. However, since the liver is the main regulator of the blood, it is the true key to proper metabolic rate. A sluggish thyroid is often secondary to a long-term sluggish liver. The trick to improving the thyroid permanently is to first improve the liver. To do that, improve digestion. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
