Pathway of Thyroid Hormones
Negative feedback system
■ T4 & T3 blood concentration TSH and TRH
■ T4 & T3 blood concentration TSH and TRH
Function of the thyroid gland
■ Iodine plus tyrosine make T4 and T3
■ Ratio of 80% T4 and 20% T3
■ 40% T4 T3 selenium-dependent enzyme5'-deiodinase
■ T3 has 4 x the hormone strength of T4
■ 60% of T4 converted to inactive rT3
Why Thyroid Dysfunction?
■ Emotional / Physical stress cortisol
■ Heavy metal toxicity/ PCB’s
■ Auto-immune, inflammation
■ Radiation exposure
■ HRT/ BCP toxicity Estrogen
■ Iodinesoy/goitrogenic foods
■ Pregnancy
■ Growths on gland

Hormones
■ ↑ estrogen blocks iodine
■ Estrogen - antagonist to thyroid hormones
■ Progesterone facilitates thyroid hormones
■ Pregnancy
Stress
■ Daily life■ Physical shock■ Emotional Shock■ Crash dieting, bulimia■ Toxic exposure
Character Type■ Blocked in the 5th Chakra-comunication
■ Rigid Type, perfectionist, organized
■ High anxiety, obsessive compulsive
■ Likes to follow the rules, instructions
■ Lawyer, dentist, technician,
■ Doesn’t take a chance
■ Fears judgment
■ Tight neck, vocal cords, headaches
■ Shocked, frozen feelings, victim
■ Locked-in, no way out
■ Be spontaneous, accept change, play
Types of Thyroid Conditions
■ Hypothyroid- iodine, pH, inflammation
■ Hasimoto’s- T4, T3, autoimmune
■ Hyperactive- Graves T4, T3
■ Wilson’s-deficient enzyme T4T3rT3

Hashimoto’s
■ Underactive thyroid ↓ T4
■ Autoantibody attack on thyroid tissue
■ Bacteria / Virus / Fungal
■ Radiation
■ Parasites
■ Fluoridation
■ Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody
Graves
■ Overactive thyroid gland ↑T4
■ Autoantibody – thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)
■ Tumor on the gland
■ Blood test for thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)
■ Hyperthyroid → Hypothyroid
Bacteria / Virus / Fungal
■ Bacteria: Sanum Notakhel 10 drops BID or Utalin 10 drops BID
■ Virus: Genestra Acer Campestre & Platanus Orientalis , Methyl M or Chlorgen sponge
■ Fungal: CNC Grapefruit seed extract with Candex or oregano oil
#1 Treatment for endocrine system- balancing adrenals
Circadian rhythms are tied to Cortisol Rhythm
Hormonal systems interact with each otherAdrenal
Ovary/Testes ThyroidAny stress will affect thyroid cortisol TSH T4 and T3

Adrenal / Thyroid Assessment
Thyroid vs. Adrenal
Insufficiency Questionnaire
See handout

THYROID IMAGING TESTS
Nuclear Scan/Radioactive Iodine Uptake
■ Grave’s, toxic nodular goiter or thyroiditis
■ radioactive iodine 123 in pill form
■ xray to view concentration in thyroid
■ Hyperthyroid: “hot”: greater iodine uptake
■ Hypothyroid: “cold”: lower iodine uptake
■ Grave’s: RAI-U high/entire gland is ‘hot”
b
■ Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: patchy “hot” spots; low iodine uptake
■ Hot nodules may overproduce thyroid but are rarely cancerous
■ Cold nodules no iodine uptake: 10-20% cancerous
CT Scan: goiter, large thyroid nodules
Scans
MRI: size, shape enlargement of thyroid
Preferred to X-rays or CT Scan: no injection,dye, radiation, cannot diagnose hypo or hyper
Ultrasound: Evaluates nodules, lumps, gland enlargement, cannot determine malignancy, evaluation of antithyroid treatment
MEDICATION vs NUTRITIONALS
■ Synthetic Levothyroxine / Synthroid
■ T4, no T3
■ Not usable by the body
■ Patients don’t feel well
■ Better if T3 is added

MEDICATION vs NUTRITIONALS
■ Dessicated / Compounded Thyroid (Armour not in Canada)
■ T4+T3
■ Hormones are usable by body
■ Temporary palliative treatment while you:
– Clean the terrain
– Change the diet
– Heal the emotions
■ Note: pharmacies using lactose as filler
MEDICATION vs NUTRITIONALS■ Weak or Exhausted Adrenals
Must be strengthened before/ during
■ Sleep: 11:00 p.m. 8 ½ hours in total darkness , prevents symptoms of overactive thyroid
■ Thyroid Hormones
T4: need tyrosine and iodine
T3 conversion: need Vitamin E, zinc, copper, selenium
Nutritional/Homeopathic■ Liver is important for conversion of T4 to T3
■ Phase I: Cytochrome P450 Pathway: toxins in
B2, B3, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Amino Acids, Flavinoids, Selenium, Phospholipids
■ Phase II: Conjugated Pathways: toxins are sorted
■ Water soluble toxins to kidneys
■ Fat soluble toxins to bile and feces
■ Amino acids: glutathione, glycine, taurine, glutamine, ornithine, arginine, N-acetylcysteine, cysteine, methionine
Nutritional/Homeopathic
■ RTRE has what is needed for both phases
■ Unda #1 helps with liver conjugation of T4 to T3 with Gammadyne Se (selenium)
■ Unda #1, 20, 258 gathers and catabolizes toxins
■ Unda #243 and 45 (and if needed, #2) helps get them out of the body

Unda’s for Thyroid
■ #10 Female hormone disorders
■ #16 Glandular irregularities, drains thyroid
■ #1000 all Para & thyroid problems, goiters
■ #34 Pancreas/adrenal
■ #74 liver conversion T4 to T3

■ #48 If thyroid degenerates or becomes cancerous (apoptosis)
Weaning off Medication■ Unda HTHY: 10 drops bid/tid regulates
hypo and hyperthyroid
■ Genestra Fucus Complex : alternate HTHY
OR
■ Thyroidinum (homeopathic thyroid)
■ 200K to regulate, then
■ 4CH Organotherapy to stimulate hypo or 9CH to suppress hyper
■ Finish with 200K
■ Biomed BIOTHY: B & C, pituitary, iodine, balances like T100 body takes what it needs
■ AOR T100: dessicated T4 and T3
■ CNC TSF: produce T4 & convert to T3
■ CNC Thyrex: homeopathic with TSF
■ Genestra TPTP Pituitary glandular 1 bid/tid if problem is due to estrogen toxicity
■ Biotone EFA: modulate cortisol / HGH
■ St. John’s Wort Plus: emotions opens pineal Seat of the Soul regulator of all glands NOT WITH ANTIDEPRESSANTS
■ Gemmotherapy
■ Viburnum Lantana: hyperthyroid / Grave’s
■ Cornus Sanguinea: ↓ T4 temporarily if hyper then use Juniperus with #16 then #14 to eliminate toxins . Also for hypothyroid caused by liver or pituitary
■ Prunus Amygdalus: hypothyroid & hypercholesterolemia

Therapy Blockades
■ Create disturbances of the vegetative nervous system & subsequently,
■ Disturbances in all areas regulated by this system.
■ The effect of biological remedies & the healing process is blocked.
Main therapy blockades in practice
1. Vertebral column, displaced vertebra
2. Energy Blockades – cold hands, feet belly, buttocks
Main therapy blockades in practice cont’d
3. Allopathic medicine – vaccinations, meds, chemo, hormones, especially cortisone
“A Comprehensive Guide to Sanum Therapy” by Gunter Weigel, ND
■ For cortisone, SANUKEHL Pseu

5. Blockades from underlying problems i.e. scars, infections – tonsils, sinuses, gums
■ Scars - Thioscyanimum 30CH. One granule each day in the morning.

6. Blockades caused by teeth
- root canals, dead teeth
7. Environmental issues
- EMF’s and Radiation
■ Hyperactive Thyroid may have been radiated as well.

pH Range of AcceptanceHeavy Metal / Mercury Detox
■ R.T.R.E (CNC)
■ DTX (CNC)
■ HMX (CNC)
■ AMD (Genestra)
■ Cilantrogen or Chlorophyll (Genestra)
Cautions and Contraindications:
■ For high mercury levels, oral glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, NAC and antioxidants in general are dangerous
Cautions and Contraindications:
■ When taken orally they can drag the mercury through the blood-brain barrier and deposit it in the brain. Lipid Exchange IV (glutathione, phosphatidyl choline, B12) may be a safer method.
■ Use DMPS challenge for high mercury loads. It's a very safe way to assess the load.
■ When mercury levels are lowered, then the antioxidants can be used orally.
Heavy Metal/Mercury Detox

■ Waiora Natural Cellular Defense
