Without adequate thyroid, we become sluggish, clumsy, cold, anemic, and subject to infections, heart disease, headaches, cancer, and many other diseases, and seem to be prematurely aged" - Dr Ray Peat
One of the best and most comprehensive readings on Thyroid. Thank you! This should be sent to all so called doctors out there who know nothing about thyroid and as soin as they see test numbers prescribe Synthroid without delving deep to find the root causes. Shame on the medical field to crank out these good-for-nothing doctors. The majority of them are clueless. We should be grateful to the Internet and people like you to educate us. Interestingly enough, doctors hate Internet because people can find out how ignorant their doctors are and how our healthcare system is betraying us.
I have been researching iodine and the need for every cell in our body to use it especially glandular tissue. Read Dr David brownstein book- Iodine why you need it and why you can't live without it. We need milligrams of iodine, not milligrams. Think of all the glandular issues we have today- thyroid, ovary, and breast. Bromine competes with iodine and is everywhere including flour and bed mattresses. Research iodine. There is more to this than in this article.
I think this is an oversimplification. While iodine is absolutely important, it needs to be balanced with adequate selenium, which is why it’s important to get it from food whenever possible. Foods that are high in iodine tend to also be high in selenium.
There is also a particularly high prevalence of thyroid issues in some of the Asian counties that consume large amounts of seaweed, partly because they are over consuming iodine. Similarly, when iodized salt was introduced in this country there was an increase in the prevalence of thyroid disorders.
Iodine in large amounts actually blocks certain thyroid processes.
I’ve been down a lot of rabbit holes healthwise and have found there are many educated people convinced it’s “this thing” or “that thing” but the truth seems to be that a body functions within a balance that is not the same between individuals and it takes some tinkering to figure out what that balance is. Maybe person A is deficient in iodine. Maybe person B actually has a gut absorption issue that needs correcting. I think it is incorrect to say we are not getting enough iodine generally.
Is there a connection between estrogen and thyroid disorders? It seems so many of us older girls have thyroid problems particularly Hashimoto’s. Seems by being bombarded with estrogen for many years, the thyroid fails In later life.
We all noticed in the 80's that many girls were developing sexually sooner, breasts in particular, faster than normal. We all thought, What the hell is happening? It was pinned on milk and cheese from cows being given hormones.
But we didn't think how boys were being impacted as well. Now we see it.
I'm a believer that this was done intentionally by very devious poisoners. Aerosolized estridol... Why the incredible and lucrative effort to create that at Yale? Where is that used in the volume they make it? My hunch is in various sprays and air freshioners at schools, hotels, apartment buildings and public places. Maybe even in chemtrails. Why not? They added lithium to jet fuel without any reasonable impact studies or public discussions. Jets still use leaded fuel too.
In the 1500's Martin Luther preached to his people to be cautious because the medicines were poisons and doctors were charlitans. Why? Because they secretly hate you and extract your money and wealth in poisoning you slowly to death.
This is all great-people like myself have had their thyroid removed. Either by surgery or radiation therapy. There obviously is no replacement of a thyroid thus using the alternative gut micronutrients is only partially effective you must replace what the thyroid releases before its removal. To my knowledge there is nothing.
Article is just in time. My oldest is having issues and I want to help her clean up her diet to help her thyroid. She has cysts. We are vaccine injured so we have autoimmune problems and food allergies to boot. Going to start with a detox,heal the leaky gut and change the diets in our family. The info is valuable. They did not order the extras in levels your article mentioned. They also planted the we are not doing surgery at this time. My goal is to make sure my family keeps their God given organs. Thyroidectomies are money makers. Cancer scares are the method to talk folks into surgeries.
I worked in oncology in many subspecialities and i have learned more online via Skool of life than system education thru research and folks sharing knowledge.
Do not fear. Research. Heal and keep going. God bless all. Christ is the true Physician because He is the Creator.
Even though im taking plenty of iodine and even natural thyroid medicine but still don't feel any difference- in do have digestive & gut issues. You've given me something to look at and think over. TY.
Hair mineral analysis can show mineral deficiency- the best way to check your baseline if you think you may have an issue with thyroid as per the article.
I’ve learned the hard way that thyroid healing isn’t just about meds, it’s about calming the gut first. Once I shifted focus there, everything started to make more sense.

What a great way to alienate people with a headline

We need milligrams of iodine not micrograms.
You ment to say micrograms. Ie they recommend 250 micrograms, instead of 15 milligrams.
Iodine!
Yeah! Read dr. Brownstein.

Very likely.
What damages the thyroid?
We all noticed in the 80's that many girls were developing sexually sooner, breasts in particular, faster than normal. We all thought, What the hell is happening? It was pinned on milk and cheese from cows being given hormones.

After COVID, is there any doubt?

Nice article.
What if your thyroid is gone?
I had several nodules diagnosed as cancer. I've been around old leaky nuclear power plants, so...
They removed all my thyroid.
Nothing spread, so I'm all clear.
Now living on full replacement Sythroid but not feeling my old chipper self.
Supposedly I'm great with numbers just right. I feel ok, but definiately not vibrant and energetic anymore.
Is there a better way? Another path?
Just trying to confuse the obvious. MCG of iodine/iodide is a joke and a Pharma view.
Even though im taking plenty of iodine and even natural thyroid medicine but still don't feel any difference- in do have digestive & gut issues. You've given me something to look at and think over. TY.
I’d be happy to find a Dr that will even prescribe t3. Most won’t touch it. I’m sick of regular only t4 meds
Did RFK Jr write this? Hmmm.

So you’re telling me if I do this I will be intelligent? Is this how you get intelligent?
