* Kidney damage
* Insomnia
* Overheated (sometimes low fever)
* May have diarrhea
* Bulging eyes

Traditional Treatment
1. Hyperthyrodism: (high thyroxine)
a. Removal
b. Radioactive iodine
c. Chemicals to reduce over-production of thyroxine (these cause liver damage)
2. Hypothyrodism: (low thyroxine)
Synthetic T4 (example synthroid, levothyroxine) .... Caution - too much can
cause a swing from hypo- to hyper-thyrodism and cause problems such as
Grave's Disease or Thyrotoxicosis
Self-Test for Functional Hypothyroidism
You can have a normal TSH and still have all kinds of problems. This is the
most accurate test in indicate hypothyrodism:
1. Before going to sleep at night, shake down a thermometer & place it on the
nightstand near the bed.
2. Upon awakening - DO NOT sit up or stand! Just reach for the thermometer
and tuck snugly in the armpit for five minutes.
3. Record results for 30 days.
4. If temperature is consistently below 97.6, YOU ARE suffering from
functional thyroid problems, even though TSH blood test may in in the normal
range.
Laboratory Tests:
1. TSH: Usual range = .35 - 5.5 (Health range = .5 - 4.5) If it is LOW,
that indicates hyperthyrodism ..... If it is HIGH, that indicates
hypothyrodism
2. T4: Usual range = 4.5 - 12.5 (Health range = 6.5 - 10.50) .... A high
T4 means hyperthyrodism
How to Prevent Thyroid Problems
* Maintain a clean liver (the liver is very involved in the conversion of T4
to T3)
* Avoid drugs as much as possible
* Avoid birth control pills & unnatural hormonal replacement therapy
* Deal with allergies
* Get adequate rest (good levels of cortisone strengthen the thyroid)
* Provide optimal nutrition
* Maintain optimum Vitamin C levels to strengthen the immune system, reduce
allergies, and reduce heavy metal toxicity
* Reduce stress (high levels of adrenaline slow down the thyroid)
* Exercise
* Avoid viral, bacterial, & yeast infections
* Avoid toxins
o use toxin-free cleaners & personal care products
o purify your indoor air
