Throid

[Guest guest]

All,

My body temp is now at 95 - 96, I used

to always be 98.6. Now very low. Cold/numb fingers/toes. Has

anyone used Iodine to help the thyroid? I know you have to be careful

with Iodine dosing because it is very toxic, some people say 1 drop a day

in juice/water can help regulate the thyroid.

Has anyone heard of this or done it?

Wow, , that's a keeper!!! I

have kept quite a few of yours, but this one goes to the head of the class!

Thanks for taking all the time to sit down and write it all out.

You may find it interesting that

Wood said last night that black walnut hull tincture would absolutely cure

any thyroid problem! He was quite adamant about it.

Said to take 10 drops 3x/day. Just so happens, I have some, so will

start it as soon as I remember to do it! ;-)

Thanks again, !

Cheryl

Yea! You guys are finally

seeing things the way I do! LOL!!! Body temperature is absolutely

important! Your body temp is your basal metabolic rate. What

determines the basal metabolic rate? THYROID!!! Thyroid also

helps you detox, runs the cells, and increases mitochondria reproduction

and efficiency which is where metabolism occurs. Metabolism = metabolic

rate = body temperature!!!! It’s all the same thing!

The article that Malinda posted

– fantastic! He doesn’t really mention thyroid as the problem,

but everything else is dead on! The ONLY thing I had a problem with

was his treatment - seemed like a lot of expense! The deal is, most

of what he was recommending was THYROID supportive! I know ya’ll

think I’m crazy about harping on your hormones and especially thyroid,

but it’s all connected!

Let me see if I can explain

it simply. It’s hard to do! This is the Kreb’s Cycle thing…

The food and supplements and

whatever else you put into your mouth becomes you. That’s the bottom

line. The carbs, fats, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and

water all are used to build you. Carbs go to energy or storage as

fat; fat mostly goes to energy but some is stored; proteins go to build

muscle; etc… All those nutrients go into making the different components

of cells, hormones, fluids, etc.. I think you get the idea.

The nutrients go into the Kreb’s

Cycle to be processed into usable energy. The Kreb’s Cycle is the

metabolism of the cell and takes place in the mitochondria. Mitochondria

are influenced by thyroid – thyroid increases mitochondria reproduction

(making more of them) and makes them replicate more quickly. The

more mitochondria there are and the more quickly they replicate, the higher

the metabolism, and thus the higer the body temp.

So basically, thyroid hormones

control the metabolism by increasing mitochondria numbers and replication

rates. That means the Kreb’s Cycle happens more often and more efficiently.

That means your cells work right and reproduce right. Cells make

up tissues. Tissues make up organs. Organs make up systems.

And systems make up YOU! (That’s 9th grade biology

– my son is in 9th grade and just took a test over it!) So

if your cells are working right, YOU are working right.

This applies to hormones and

neruotransmitters and anything else your body is made of or makes.

If the cells that make up the glands and organs that make hormones and

neurotransmitters are working right, then the proper hormones and neurotransmitters

will be made! (Same for any other constiuent of the body.)

So, is eating properly important?

YES!!! The big no-no is sugar and refined carbohydrates. We

know we are supposed to avoid it, but man is it good! Well, sugar

is metabolized differently. Take table sugar (which is ½ glucose

and ½ fructose)... The glucose part gets used mostly for fuel and glycolysis

(which replenishes glycogen stores in the liver – a good thing). It

also stimulates insulin production (which lets your brain know you have

eaten) and suppresses ghrelin (hormone that makes you feel hungry) and

leptin (a hormone that says you need to store energy [fat]). The

fructose part does not stimulate insulin but does stimulate ghrelin and

leptin! So in effect, it makes you hungry and tells your brain that

you need to eat more and to store more fat and makes it easier to store

fat!

Another thing sugar does is

competes with Vit C for entry into the cells. In essence, if you

reduce your sugar intake you will increase your body’s use of Vit C! Vit

C as we know is an anti-oxidant and helps clean up after the Kreb’s Cycle

(there are lots of oxidizing reactions in the cycle).

My bottom line on sugar is AVOID

IT AT ALL COSTS! It does NOTHING good for you! We can survive

without sugar. Increase protein and FAT to be healthy! (Read

‘Good Calories, Bad Calories: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet,

Weight Control, and Disease’ by Taubes. Excellent book!)

Sugar (primarily fructose) causes metabolic syndrome, which is diabetes,

obesity and heart disease. We all know what those things do to us!

Sugar basically suppresses the metabolic rate by creating an imbalance

of the hormones. Not what we want to do!

How does all of this relate

to Lyme? Well, if your cells work right and your body temp is right

it’s a lot easier to fight off infection! The higher your body temp,

the more uncomfortable the bugs become because your body can produce the

correct hormones and such to get rid of the bugs and their toxins.

(Thyroid helps with the detox pathwyas too!)

This is why I harp on you guys

to take your temps and get your thyroid and adrenal glands checked and

working properly. Everything you do is dependant on thyroid getting

into the cells to make the Kreb’s Cycle work better and faster. The

supplements and herbs we take go into the Kreb’s Cycle to make those reactions

work, so that we can make cells that work right. Those cells make

tissues, organs, glands (thyroid and adrenal) and so forth. That

includes the thyroid hormones that make the system work better, by making

more mitochondria so the reaction takes place more often!

One last thing… Yes you can

boost thyroid nutritionally. You can take supplements, iodine, teasel,

whatever to boost thyroid. However, it takes a long time – sometimes

many years. (It seems that teasel may do it more quickly, but I’m

not sure yet. I haven’t found much research on it.) But, that

is why I say take thyroid medication (T3)! It gets your levels up

and helps you feel better NOW, not in 5 years! It boosts your metabolism

and gets more mitochondria going so that you have more energy and can better

process the food and supplements and herbs that we take! It helps

with the muscle aches, foggy brain, headaches and all the low thyroid symptoms

(Lyme symptoms).

Sorry this got so long. It’s

a very complicated process so it’s hard to explain it simply. But

in my view it’s just one big cycle and everything you do affects any and

every part of it.

Just my thoughts…

I really do think body temp is so

important. Somehow I really enjoy the idea of making those spirochetes

really, really miserable. But I think a word of caution might be in order.

Just like everything else, taking it slow I believe is best. Too much heat

too fast could bring those little boogers out faster than we would like.

At first my son only muscle-tested for 1 drop of teasel daily, now after

about three months it is one drop three times a day. I think this stuff

is very potent.

Blessings to all ~ Malinda
