Hi all. I get a newsletter from this site, and the article today, with

adjacent(on the top left hand side)articles are really easy to understand and

grasp thyroid. This site is really pro iodine and supplements that are talked

about here. It reinforces this site and the knowledge that you all share, and

reinforces that women's health group. As well as for men. Thanks,

, Thank you for the link!

I especially like it because she looks past the symptoms to causes.

Example:

"The prescription drug levothyroxine acts by replacing the body’s T4 with a synthetic form. Though some women feel better on some form of levothyroxine, many do not. As you can see from the diagram, when overstressed adrenals are at the root of your thyroid trouble, feeding the body more T4 is a stop-gap solution that eventually teaches the thyroid to stop producing its own T4. If you’re not already on synthetic T4, it may be worthwhile finding out why thyroid function declined in the first place — an important step toward correcting it"

A good example, look for the source, don't treat symptoms (aside from an emergency),

Cute: "Iodine is the central ingredient in thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Trying to produce T3 and T4 without iodine is like trying to make an omelet without the eggs! "

lol

The below I especially like as I am researching in this below, and a related area (insulin):

"Food sensitivities may also promote autoimmune reactions in which the body’s immune system attacks the thyroid as though it were a foreign invader. More research is called for in this area, but it’s now clear that the food we eat “talks” to our genes. And when we have food intolerances occurring in the gut, the resulting chemical signals influence our DNA — including the DNA in our immune cells. Unfortunately, the messages carried by food stressors turn off the default “healthy” pathways and turn on those that lead to disease."

Someone mentioned lithium?

"A long list of prescription medications can also impair thyroid function. Drugs like lithium, amiodarone, somatostatin, inhalers, and others have the potential to disrupt thyroid hormone balance at any level ..."

Now I really like her!

"Finally, insufficient nutrition may also affect thyroid function — but it’s a problem that’s easily addressed! Selenium, for example, is needed for the conversion of T4 to T3, so if you’re selenium deficient, increasing this nutrient in your diet may make a difference in how you feel. And as mentioned above, iodine is essential for making thyroid hormones.

Vitamin A, EPA and DHA, and zinc all act to improve T3 binding in your cells. By working with your body’s natural pathways, vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and extra antioxidants can offer great results without the side effects. The bottom line is that when we give our bodies the gentle support they recognize, we often see positive results that last."
