Pathway of Thyroid Hormones
Functions of the Thyroid Gland
o
Iodine plus tyrosinemake T4 and T3 o Ratio of 80% T4 and 20% T3
o 40% T4 T3 selenium-dependent enzyme
5'- deiodinaseo T3 has 4 x the hormonal strength of T4 o 60% of T4 converted to inactive rT3 o Must have efficient conversion of T4 to T3
Thyroid Hormone Effects
oBasal metabolic rate / body heat
oFat mobilization
oCarbohydrate / insulin metabolism
oNormal growth in children
o Heart rate, cardiac output, arterial pressure
o Mental / emotional state
o Fertility

Developmental Stage of Thyroid
o Thyroid develops between 12 months to 7 years old
o Individuality through thyroid gland o Gland of sensitivity, creativity and love o Needs repetition- same story every night o Energy centre of communication with the
outside world
Emotional Connections
oInability to express self
oState of denial or self dismissal
o“I never get to do what I want to do”
o“When is it going to be my turn?”
oGoiter:Hatred for being inflicted upon, too many responsibilities, a victim oHypo:Giving up, feeling
hopelessly stifled oHyper:Rage at being left
out, fear of responsibility, being too busy

Character Type
oBlocked in the 5thChakra- communication
oAfraid of speaking up or excessive talking
oRigid Type, perfectionist, organized
oHigh anxiety, obsessive compulsive
oLikes to follow the rules, instructions
oLawyer, dentist, technician
oDoesn’t take a chance oFears judgment
oTight neck, vocal cords, headaches
oShocked, frozen feelings, victim oLocked-in, no way out
oBe spontaneous, accept change, play oFind their voice, express
Hormones
oExcess estrogen blocks iodine uptake
oEstrogen - antagonist to thyroid hormones, suppress secretion of thyroid hormones and inhibits conversion of T4 to T3 thyroid binding hormones
oProgesterone facilitates action of thyroid hormones, conversion of T4 to T3
oProgesterone deficiency – low T4
oPregnancy can exhaust adrenals and promote low thyroid
#1 Treatment for endocrine system- balance adrenals
Circadian rhythms are tied to Cortisol Rhythm Hormonal systems interact with each other
Adrenal
Ovary/Testes Thyroid
Any stress will affect thyroid
cortisol TSH T4 and T3
Types of Thyroid Conditions
o Hypothyroid - iodine, pH, inflammation
o Hyperactive - Graves T4, T3
o Hashimoto’s - T4, T3, autoimmune o Wilson’s - deficient enzyme - T4T3rT3

Hypothyroid Indications
oTSH thyroxin o#1 Fatigue / exhaustion oWeight gain
oDepression oBrain fog oHair / skin / nail oSensitivity to cold
oHigh Cholesterol oPMS/Ovarian cysts oConstipation oGoiter
oDecreased tendon reflexes oWeak, slow heartbeat
Hyperthyroid Indications
oT4, T3 ometabolic rate oappetite oWeight loss oHyperactivity oProfuse sweating/ heat
intolerance oDiarrhea
oAnxiety & sleeplessness
oRapid, forceful heartbeat oMuscular weakness/ tremors oProtrusion of eyes oOsteoporosis
oTest for the antibodies Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI)
excretion of T4
oTest for anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO)
oTreatment by radioactive iodine and surgery leads to hypothyroid
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
oAuto immune condition lymphocytes infiltrate thyroid gland
oGland is slowly destroyed
oEnvironmental chemicals - hormone mimickers and blockers
oConfused anti-bodies attack glands
oTest for Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO) that cause inflammation and damage thyroid
oDo not supplement with iodine
Wilson’s Syndrome
oThyroid produces plenty of T4
oA deficiency of 5'deiodinase selenium containing enzyme oInhibited by emotional or physical stress and cortisol oMore T4 is converted to rT3
oShould be temporary to aid in survival or till stress is over oSometimes doesn’t get turned back on
oLow body temp, irritability, hair loss, insomnia, headaches and weight gain, abnormal swallowing and throat sensations
Testing
Basal Temperature test oMorning 97.8 - 98.2 or 36.5 -
36.8C
oNoon 98.3 – 98.9 or 36.8 – 37.2C
Hair analysis ointracellular Calcium ointracellular Potassium ohormones will not enter cells
easily

Evaluating Blood Tests
o
TSH T4 T3 – hypothyroido
NTSH T4 T3 - enzyme function, livero
TSH T4 or T3 - hyperthyroido
N TSH T4
T3 rT3 - adrenal fatigueo
NTSH N T4
T3 - possible heavy metal toxicity or magnesium deficiency
Reverse T3
orT3 binds to thyroid hormone receptors and blocks action of T3
oCortisol inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3, thus shunting T4 conversion from T3 towards rT3
oShutdown in T3 binding across the body. This condition is termed Reverse T3 Dominance
oLower body temp slows many enzymes → clinical symptoms of hypothyroid
20
rT3 Testing
oIdeally the ratio of T3/rT3 multiplied by 100 should be between1.06 to 1.13
oIf this ratio is below 1 then reverse T3 dominance is present
oslow release T3 therapy needs to be initiated once adrenal exhaustion, hypoglycemia, nutritional deficiencies and/or low sex hormone levels have been ruled out and/or treated

Medical Testing
1. Thyroid Imaging Tests
– Nuclear Scan/Radioactive Iodine Uptake 2. CT Scan
3. MRI – preferred to x-rays or CT scan – no injection, dye, radiation, although can’t diagnose hypo or hyper
4. Ultrasound – can’t determine malignancy
Nutrients for the Thyroid
oVitamin A: hypo - reduced conversion of beta carotene to Vit A, iodine absorption
oB Vitamins: manufacture of T4, T3 esp. B2, B6, B12
oVitamin C: immune system, gland function, production of T4, T3
oVitamin D: deficiency can bring on hypo or hyperthyroidism
oVitamin E: with Zinc & Vitamin A to produce T4 & T3 oL- cysteine:important in zinc metabolism for thyroid
function
oZinc:with Vit E & A T4 T3, boosts thyroid function, required for the action of TSH. The zinc/copper balance also has a big influence on the progesterone/estrogen balance in women, which has a significant influence on thyroid function
oSelenium: is a cofactor for type 1 deiodinase, which converts T4 to active thyroid T3, protects against free radicals, critically depleted in people with mercury toxicity
oIron: proper thyroid function
oChlorella: nutrients for thyroid, detoxification

Iodine
o Iodine with Tyrosine makes T4, T3.
oHalogens (bromine, chlorine, fluorine) can enter missing iodine lock-key pathway.
oBody of an average adult contains about 20 to 50 mg of iodine, mostly in the thyroid gland.
oAdult thyroid gland traps about 60 mcg of iodine per day to make thyroid hormones.
oRadioactive iodine from a nuclear event (like Fukushima) - the body of the average adult will need about 15mg of iodine a day to help prevent radioactive iodine from going to the thyroid gland.
oOver 90 percent of people in North America are iodine deficient.
Potassium Iodide
otwo types of iodine necessary for optimal nutrition and thyroid function: Iodine and iodide
oiodine supplements are made from kelp, which is seaweed that is lacking in the necessary iodide that humans need
oAmounts listed in micrograms which are about 100 times too weak to be very effective in stimulating your thyroid
oFor normal health maintenance, find a potassium iodide form of supplement and follow the recommended daily dosage for normal thyroid function
o Coconut Oil: to balance the thyroid o EFA’s: gonad support
o Exercise: TSH production from pituitary
o Hyperthyroidism: robs skeleton of calcium, consume a diet rich in calcium Sources: broccoli, bok choy, amaranth, salmon, soybeans, yogurt, kale, tofu, cheese, dried beans
o Hyperthyroid may benefit from consuming goitrogens
Nutrients for the Thyroid
Medication vs Nutritionals
o Synthetic Levothyroxine / Synthroid o T4, no T3
o Not usable by the body o Patients don’t feel well o Better if T3 is added
Medication vs Nutritionals
oDessicated / Compounded Thyroid - Nutri-Meds Bovine Thyroid Health - has both T4+T3
oHormones are usable by body
oTemporary palliative treatment while you:
oClean the terrain
oChange the diet oHeal the emotions
oNote: pharmacies using lactose as filler
Medication vs Nutritionals
oWeak or Exhausted Adrenals Must be strengthened before/ during
oSleep: 11:00 p.m. 8 ½ hours in total darkness , prevents symptoms of overactive thyroid
oThyroid Hormones
T4: need tyrosine and iodine
T3 conversion: need Vitamin E, zinc, copper, selenium

Avoid or use in Moderation
oRefined Sugar oWhite Flour oCaffeine / Alcohol oTobacco
oSoft Drinks / Junk Food oArtificial Sweeteners
(Aspartame) oTrans Fatty Acids oAllergic Foods
oGoitrogens (iodine- suppressing foods) oCruciferous vegetables
(cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, rutabaga, turnip) oSoya beans oMillet oWalnuts
Nutritional
oLiver is important for conversion of T4 to T3 oPhase I: Cytochrome P450 Pathway: toxins in
B2, B3, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Amino Acids, Bioflavonoids, Selenium, Phospholipids
oPhase II: Conjugation Pathways: toxins are sorted Water soluble toxins to kidneys Fat soluble toxins to bile and feces
oAmino acids: glutathione, glycine, taurine, glutamine, ornithine, arginine, N-acetylcysteine, L-cysteine, methionine
Nutritional
oRTRE™ (Vitamost®) has what is needed for both liver phases oTrophic Liquid Iodine – each mL = Iodine (potassium iodide and pure
iodine) 14.2 mg 1 drop (0.045 ml) contains 640 mcg
oLugol’s Solution 2% - each drop is approximately 3.00- 3.125 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (approximately 1.250 mg iodine, 1.875 mg potassium iodide)
oNascent Iodine (Pure Natural Canada) - consumable iodine in its atomic form rather than its molecular form, an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons. It is paramagnetic, the iodine atoms can hold an electromagnetic charge, great absorption
Supplementation
oThyro Support (AOR) 3 caps = 500 mcg potassium iodide + L-Tyrosine, Coleus forskohlii, Bakopa monnieri & zinc, copper, selenium
oTSF (Vitamost®) iodine (1.1 mg/tab), selenium, B12, L-Cysteine, L- tyrosine, pituitary substance

oGenestra Phyto-gen Black Currant Bud Extract – adrenals
Supplementation
oOmega 3 & 6 EFA’s: hormone production
oUnda Magnelevures: in water: ½ A.M., ½ P.M. will temper cortisone levels
oBiotone EFA: modulate cortisol / HGH
oPhysica: Thyro Code – sarcode organotherapy oGenestra Phyto-gens:
Hpo-Gen – acts on hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis Hpe-gen – regulates hyperactivity in the endocrine system Tonic-gen – for adrenal burn-out
Biotherapeutic Drainage
oDrain the terrain – don’t get hung up on the symptoms oHypothyroid is generally found in the Sycotic Miasm. These
people have difficulty eliminating to the outside so are clogging up. Their metabolism is slowing down.
oThe body wants to heal. It has a goal-seeking mechanism to live.
Find the blockages and help the body heal itself.
oToxicity will eventually block enzyme systems at the cellular level, preventing the cell from functioning normally.

Biotherapeutic Drainage
Remove the toxins by opening the doors and throwing out the garbage.
HOW?
UNDA NUMBERS (From Seroyal): Complex Homeopathic Remedies that heal on an energetic level. 10 drops together in a little water, 2x/day, hold in mouth 1 min. & swallow.
Step 1 Global Drainage
Open the Emunctories; ie. The Liver & the Kidneys; and discharge the toxic material
First month: UNDA #1, 20, 258 (gathers &
catabolizes the toxins)
Step 1 Global Drainage
o Second month: #243 (liver) & #44 (kidneys) (Add #2, if more kidney drainage is needed to
‘get it out’)
Replace #243 with #295 if bad gas/cramps
Step 2 Site Specific:
Drain Thyroid
o UNDA #10 Female Hormone Disorders o UNDA #16 Drains Thyroid
o UNDA #1000 All Thyroid issues including beginning of goiters
o #10, #16, #1000 can be alternated monthly with #243 & #44
Step 3 Dysbiosis Therapy
Chronic Disease: means there are bugs
oReplace & Restore Normal Flora: HMF Intensive 1 cap bid withfood OR HMF Forte (if autoimmune) 2 caps bid
oDisplace, inhibit & destroy pathogens:
#39 (gentlest) & then add #17 oKill the Virus: #37
Step 4 Support Thyroid
Alternate as needed; use with drainage
oUNDA #273 Goiter, tumor, drains neck & throat.
oUNDA #48 If Thyroid degenerates or becomes cancerous (apoptosis)
oUNDA #74 Works with the Liver to help with the conversion of T4 to T3
