2 Topics: ECM/GRS in Hypot/AF & INTRAcrine Sex hromones =current bad tests

[Guest guest]

hi all

i just posted these 2 topics on the group (Coalition for Better Thyroid Care

(Formerly the Save NTH forum of SHomon's)

anyway; i just came across 2 areas of medical science that even the Good

" practicing " doctors are ignoring. its really shocking how much medical

research science and literature that is not being disseminated or 'practiced'

and it is direclty affecting us patients, health and treatments and recovery

timeliens.

)plus wasting money and basing treatment decisions on the wrong tests.

2 long stories short :

1) the ECM/GRS system sits BETWEEN all our cells and our blood stream and our

Lymph System !

**which means our 'circulating hormones " MUST go thru the ECM/GRS to get into

our cells/receptors **

etc etc

Please note the differetn LInks ()and google for more to learn all the things

the ECM/GRS and Connective tissue do ) includnig " Auras'

(ANyone have severe foot pian and tightness or fail their Hypothyroid SKIN

PINCH TEST?? its the ECM/GRS/connective tissue system !

2) 2nd topic below: INTRAcrine system of Sex hormones :

FACT: the adrenal Glands do NOT make our TestosteroneS and EstrogenS! neither

before during or after Menopuase!

SO ALL THE CURRENT blood and Saliva tests that DRs are currently focusing on are

NOT accurate reflections of TOTAL BODY SEX HORMONE STATUS !

instead the medical fact is:

our adrenal glands make DHEA and DHEAS which they release into our blood

stream/circulation:

and then the DHEA/S go hru our ECM (see above) and into ANY/ALL body cells and

PERIPHERAL metabolism/ Converted into Whatever sex hormonse/ that cell needs

and once the cell 'uses' its own Estrogens or testosterones then it

" metabolizes " it into a DIFFERENT END PRODUCT..

which then gets released back to bloodstream and lympch system for excretion via

bladder/bowel etc.

SEE the 2 posts BELOW for more details and links

Another medical fact/ about another body system/ that even the GOOD doctors are

not talking about!!

RE: the ECM /GRS/ Fascia /connective tissue and our HYPOTHYROID PINCH TEST

i just recently discovered that there are 2 important parts of the body that

99.9% of doctors are not talking about!

long story short:

MEDICAL FACT:

Turns out the BLood Supply and LYmpch system do NOT directly touch all our

cells!

so this means that _ALL of our hormones__ have to LEAVE OUR BLOOD VESSELS AND

__GO THRU THE ECM_ IN ORDER TO GET TO OUR CELLS (all of them!

see my picture of the ECM and Groudn sysetm ??

OOOO

the Os are our cells and SEE the SPACES between the Letter Os?

THOSE SPACES are our " Extra Cellualr Matrix " which contains oru " Ground System "

Quantum Medicine Update: Undetected HypoThyroidism and Xenobiotic Toxicity

by DR Yanick

Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients.

including these bits:

"

Metabolism is not a single process but rather a linking together of subsystems

that regulate a wide variety of physical functions within the body. All

metabolic processes require a regular supply of nutrients.

If there is a deficiency, excess, an imbalance of nutrients,

or an !excess of accumulated pollutants!,

, (then) hormonal regulation may be disturbed.

"

,,,

and then THIS PART:

"

The accurate assessment of thyroid function should include:

1) rT3,

2) TSH assessment,

3) ***biochemical assessment of **sulfur amino acids*

4) *cofactors needed to support the **trans sulfuration-sulfate pathways of the

liver,(*)

5) assessment of cellular redox potential,

and

6) *functional assessments* of the liver

and the

7) **ground regulation system** (GRS)!!!.

"

SEe all those other tests ? sulf type tests and GRS tests and FUNCTIONAL test of

liver??:

this relates to our detox systems adn our ECM/GRS

SYMPTOMS OF A MESSED UP ECM/GRS extra cellular matrix /groudn system?

1) Failing the Hypothryodi PINCH TEST

2) painful FEET ! the ECM/GRS is our " CONNECTIVE TISSUE " !

ECM and faschia

in english by some lady 'exerciser " whose focus is our ECM/Groundsystm/ Faschia

role in health!

"

Our connective tissue consists of multiple types of cells which are enclosed in

what's known as the Extracellular Matrix (ECM).

The ECM contains the majority of collagen fibrils, ground substance, and

structures called proteoglycans and macromolecules consisting of proteins and

carbohydrates to create structural support to everything from organs, to bones,

to muscles and even the tiniest structures like blood vessels and the lymphatic

system.

Our connective tissue and all of its components provide us the continuous

connection from head to toe that forms quite an independent yet interconnected

network of elasticity, cushion, pliability, strength, and support. Without it

our form would not sustain it's shape at all.

"

this ECM/GRS/Connective tissue is where ACCUPUNCTUER and AURAS and Massage

and Rolfing and ETC work with
