Thyroid disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent in our society. They are not only very distressing, but can also be life-threatening. We here at Prevention Inventions offer a natural approach to correct thyroid dysfunction without prolonged dependence. Our goal is to restore hormonal balance along with improved health and detoxification associated with thyroid function. Homeopathy is effective in treating hypothyroidism and improving thyroid function (Thyroid Sarcode, Thyroid Liquescence).
The main reasons for hypothyroidism is a deficiency of iodine and selenium. Iodine deficiency occurs due to increasingly depleted soil and Americans increased aversion to iodized salt. Our drinking water also plays a role in this situation. When the thyroid cannot get iodine, it will absorb other halogens such as fluoride and chlorine. These items then destroy thyroid tissue. This is a strong reason for anyone to have a water purification system in their home.
Selenium is also essential to stimulate the thyroid (Selenometh iodine). Many patients require nothing but selenium and they respond well. Make sure not to over-use selenium as it can cause the very symptoms that you are trying to avoid. As the case with selenium, L-Tyrosine sometimes is all that is needed, particularly with females and where depression is present (Metabolic Enhancer).
Diet is also a key factor in treating this condition. You should consume foods that are naturally high in iodine such as fresh protein, kelp, vegetables and root vegetables such as potatoes. Avoid repetitive consumption of foods that naturally slow down the functioning of the thyroid such as: cabbage, brussel sprouts, mustard greens, broccoli, turnips, kale, spinach, peaches and pears. Also increase daily consumption of foods high in vitamin B complex (B Complex) such as whole grains, raw nuts and seeds, and vitamin A rich foods which are dark green and yellow vegetables (excluding those mentioned above). You should also eliminate hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats and oils. Use only raw and fresh oils (Omega 600, Omega 3D).
Home Thyroid Test - Keep a basal thermometer by your bedside. In the morning, before arising, lie still and put the thermometer under your armpit and hold it there for 15 minutes. A temperature below 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit may indicate a problem with the thyroid gland. Take your temperature in this manner for three days, except for the first few days of a menstrual cycle, and the middle day of the cycle, and calculate the average temperature. If it is consistently low, it is a suggestion that low thyroid may be a problem. The lower the temperature, the greater the degree of hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism can be easily treated using thyroid hormone medicine. The most effective and reliable thyroid replacement hormone is man-made (synthetic). After starting treatment, you will have regular visits with your doctor to make sure you have the right dose of medicine.
Synthetic drugs do not allow the thyroid gland to regain its normal function. These medications replace naturally produced hormones are not done so many times at the correct amount. Doing the job of the thyroid gradually weakens it and eventually renders it completely dysfunctional with no chance for recovery. Studies also show that these synthetic thyroid medications increase bone-loss significantly.
