thyroid and essential oils

[Guest guest]

Hi,

here is my view on the thyroid:

Located at the base of the neck just below the Adam's apple, the

thyroid is the enrgy gland of the human body. It produces T3 and T4

thyroid hormones that control the body's metabolism. The thyroid

also controls other vital functions such as digestion, circulation,

immune function, hormone balance, and emotions.

The thyroid gland is actually controlled byt the pituitary gland

which signals the thyroid when to produce thryroid hormone. The

pituary gland, in turn, is directed by chemical signals sent by the

hypothalamus gland which monitors hormone levels in the bloodstream.

A lack of thyroid hormone does not necessarily mean that the thyroid

is not funcioning properly (although in many cases, this may be

true). In some instances, the pituitary may be malfunctioning

because of its failure to release sufficient TSH (thyroid

stimulating hormone) to spur the thyroid to make thyroid hormone.

Other cases of thyroid hormone dficiency may be due to the

hypothalamus failing to release sufficient TRH (thryrotropin

releasing hormone) to stimulate the pitiutary (which in turn

stimulates the thyroid)

In cases where thyroid hormone deficiency is caused by

malfunciotning pituitary or hypothalamus, better results may be

achieved by using essential oils that stimulate the pituitary or

hypothalamus such as cedarwood.

People with type A blood have more of a tendency to have weak

thyroid function.

 

How to treat:

1. Hyperthyroid (Graves Disease)

Graves Disease is an autoimmunde disease which results in an excess

of thyroid hormone production. When the thyroid becomes overactive

and produces excess thyroid hormone, the following symptoms occur:

-anxiety

-restlessness

-insomnia

-premature gray hair

-diabetes mellitus

-arthritis

-vitiligo (loss of skin pigment)

 

Oils to be used:

Myrrh

Spruce

Blue tansy

Lemongrass

 

Blends:

-glandulare blend

 

Applications:

a) topical: dilute 50-50, apply 3-5 drops over the thyroid (lower

front neck on both sides of the trachea) 1-3 times daily

-vita flex: apply 1-3 drops on the thyroid vita flex points of the

feet (located on the inside edge of the ball of the foot, just below

the base of the big toe)

b) ingestion: capsule, 0 size, 1 capsule twice a day

 

2. Hypothyroid (Hashimoto's disease)

When the thyroid is udneractive and produces insufficient thyroid

hormone. Approximately 40 percent of the U.S. population suffers

from this disorder and these people tend to also suffer hypoglycemia

(low blood sugar)

Hashimoto's disease, like Graves disease, is an autoimmune condition

affecting the thyroid.

 

The following symptoms occur:

-fatigue

-yeast infeciton (candida)

-lack of energy

-reduced immune function

-poor resistance to disease

-recurring infections

 

Oils to be used:

ledum

lemongrass

myrtle

peppermint

spearmint

myrrh

clove

glandular blend

 

Applicaitons:

a)topical: dilute 50-50, apply 3-5 drops over the thyroid 1-3 times

daily

-vita flex: apply 1-3 drops on the thyroid vita flex points on the

feet (see above)

b) ingestion: capsule, size 0, 1 capsule twice a day

 

Please only use pure and carefully distilled essential oils, not the

stuff you find in the drug stores that is only 5% essential and 95%

water and aromas.

Some more information about the oils that keep on blowing me away

with their (healing)properties - I know, this is getting long...

 

******************************************************************

Essential oils

 

Essential oils are some of the oldest and most powerful therapeutic

agents known. Most people today are unaware that they have an

impressive, millenium-long history of use in healing and anointing

throughout the ancient world. Dozens of essential oils are cited

repeatedly in Judeo-Christian religious texts and records show they

were used to cure virtually every ailment known to man at that time.

Franckincense, myrrh, lotus, cedarwood, and sandalwood oils were

widely used in ancient Egyptian purification and embalming rituals.

Other oils, like cinnamon, clove, and lemon, were highly valued as

antiseptics hundreds of years before th development of today's

synthetic drugs.

 

With the advance of antibiotics and prescription drugs during last

century, natural therapeutic agents, especially essential oils, have

been largely overlooked. Only during the last decase have essential

oils begun a resurgence in popularity in the United States, as their

broad-spectrum antibacterial and therapeutic action is rediscovered

by many researchers and health-care professionals. No doubt part of

the reason essential oils have been slow to emerge – especially in

the United States – is because they were heavily extended and

adulterated for commercial use, destroying their therapeutic

biochemistry and making them useful only as air-freshening or

flavoring compounds.

 

In their pure state, essential oils are some of the most

concentrated natural extracts known, exhibiting significant and

immediate antiviral, anti=inflammatory, antibacterial, hormone-

balancing effects. In clininal practice, they have been shown to

have a profound influence on the central nervousl system, helping to

reduce or eliminate pain, release muscle tension and provide strong

emotional uplift.

 

The chemical structure of an essential oil is such that it can

rapidly penetrate cell mebranes, travel throughout the blood and

tissues, and enhance cellulare function.

 

Not coincidentally, almost every therapeutic herb can be distilled

into an essential oil. The key difference is that the herb's

essential oil can be from 100 to 10,000 times more concentrated –

and therefore more potent – than the herb itself.

 

Despite their concentration and strenght, unlike prescription drugs,

the essential oils generate no negatice side effects.

*****************************************************************

Why oils heal and drugs don't

by David Stewart, Ph.D.

 

If you tell a medical doctor that essential oils can bring about

healing with no negative side effects, they won't believe you. This

is because in medical school students are repeatedly told by their

professors that all effective medicines have negative side effects,

and if they don't, then they can't be effective.

When I was in medical school one professor emphasized this point in

a colorful, graphic manner with specially prepared slides. In each

slide specific drugs were depicted as evil looking demons or

goblins. As he presented each picture, he explained, " Although ugly

and capable of doing harm, these 'demons' are also the bearers of

some good. So long as the benefits outweigh the risks, we use them, "

he summarized. " We have no choice, " he continued, " because if a drug

has no dangers, then it can have no benefits. That's just the way it

is. And that's why it is essential that only qualified physicians be

allowed to prescribe medicines, " he concluded.

Actually, the professor was telling the truth. Within the restricted

practice of allopathy (MDs) the only real medicines are physician

prescribed pharmaceuticals. Such medicines always do have negative

side effects. All of them. No exceptions. Hence, doctors are trained

to accept the bad with the good as the price of effective medicine.

The Danger is in the Drug, Itself The dangers of prescription drugs

are intrinsic to the drugs, themselves. No matter how careful the

physician in prescribing and how compliant the patient in following

doctor's orders, even then deaths and damages occur. In fact,

according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, more than 100,000

Americans die every year, not from illegal drugs, not from drug

overdoses, not from over-the-counter drugs, and not from drug

abuses, but from properly prescribed, properly taken prescriptions.

In this country, more people die from doctor's prescriptions every

ten days than were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Why is this

so? Why do allopathic drugs always have undesirable effects (along

with their apparent benefits) while one can find healing with

natural products, such as essential oils, with no undesirable

effects? Here is why.

 

Why Companies Deliberately Sell Dangerous Products

It is illegal to patent any natural product. The way to big profits

in the medicine industry is to create an unnatural substance that

never before existed in nature, then patent it, and obtain a

monopoly. Hence, the molecules of pharmaceutical drugs are all

strange to the human body. In all the history of humankind, such

molecules were never encountered or taken into any human body.

Hence, the body does not easily metabolize them. God never made your

body to accept and deal with these chemicals and antibiotics. Hence,

you can find traces of prescription drugs in your body that were

taken in childhood, decades ago.

On the other hand, natural molecules, such as those found in

essential oils, are easily metabolized by the body. In fact, your

body was created to handle them. When an essential oil molecule

finds the receptor sites it was designed to fit and conveys its

information to the cell, or participates in other therapeutic

functions, it then goes on its way to the liver and the kidneys and

moves out of the body. Its benefits have been conveyed and its job

is complete. By contrast, the unnatural molecules of man-made drugs

attach themselves to various tissues, disrupting normal function,

for years

while the body tries to figure out what to do with them. Meanwhile,

they wreak mischief with our bodily functions and even our minds.

 

 

Drugs versus Oils

Drugs and oils work in opposite ways. Drugs toxify. Oils detoxify.

Drugs clog and confuse receptor sites. Oils clean receptor sites.

Drugs depress the immune system. Oils strengthen the immune system.

Antibiotics attack bacteria indiscriminately, killing both the good

and the bad. Oils attack only the harmful bacteria, allowing our

body's friendly flora to flourish.

Drugs are designed to send misinformation to cells or to block

certain receptor sites in order to trick the body into giving up

symptoms. But drugs never deal with the actual causes of disease.

They aren't designed for that purpose. While they may give prompt

relief for certain uncomfortable symptoms, because of their strange,

unnatural design, they will always disrupt certain other bodily

functions. Thus you always have some side effects.

Oil molecules send information to cells and cleanse receptor sites

so that they bring your body back to natural function. Oils are

Balancing to the body. Drugs are unbalancing to the body. Oils

address the causes of disease at a cellular level by deleting

misinformation and reprogramming correct information so that cells

function properly and in harmony with one another. With drugs,

misinformation is fed into the cells so that some temporary relief

may be obtained, but there is never any true healing. Drugs only

trade one kind of disease for another.

Because essential oils properly applied always work toward the

restoration of proper bodily function, they do not cause undesirable

side effects. They are feeding the body with truth. Drugs feed the

body with lies. While no amount of truth can contradict itself, it

doesn't take many lies before contradictions occur and the body

suffers ill effects.

 

Sixteen Doctors Speak Out

Not all physicians are caught up in the idea that the only good

medicines are ones that can also be harmful. Here are some comments

by physicians, themselves, on the practice of medicine.

 

" The cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs physicians

superstitiously give in order to effect a cure. " Charles E. Page,

M.D. " Medicines are of subordinate importance because of their very

nature, they can only work symptomatically. " Hans Kusche, M.D.

 

" The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the

disease and once from the medicine. " William Osler, M.D.

 

" If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would

be bad for the fish and good for humanity "

O.W. Holmes, M.D. (Prof. of Med. Harvard University)

 

" Drug medications consist in employing, as remedies for disease,

those things which produce disease in well persons. Its material

medica is simply a lot of drugs or chemicals or dye-stuffs—in a word

poisons. All are incompatible with vital matter; all produce disease

when brought in contact in any manner with the living; all are

poisons. "

R.T. TraIl, M.D., (lecture to members of congress and the medical

profession, Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C.)

 

" Every drug increases and complicates the patients condition. "

Robert Henderson, M.D.

 

" The greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the

suppression of acute disease by drug poisoning. "

Henry Lindlahr, M.D.

 

" Every educated physician knows that most diseases are not

appreciably helped by medicine. "

Richard C. Cabot, M.D. (Mass. Gen. Hospital)

 

" Medicine is only palliative, for back of disease lies the cause,

and this cause no drug can reach. "

Wier Mitchel, M.D.

 

" Medical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to

recommend it. In sickness the body is already loaded with

impurities. By taking drug - medicines more impurities are added,

thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure. "

Elmer Lee, M.D., Past Vice President, Academy of Medicine.

 

" Our figures show approximately four and one half million hospital

admissions annually due to the adverse reactions to drugs. Further,

the average hospital patient has as much as thirty percent chance,

depending how long he is in, of doubling his stay due to adverse

drug reactions. "

Milton Silverman, M.D. (Professor of Pharmacology, University of

California)

 

" What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true

science when the entire structure of medical knowledge is built

around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be

expelled when the right drug is found? "

John H. Tilden, M.D.

 

" We are prone to thinking of drug abuse in terms of the male

population and illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and marijuana.

It may surprise you to learn that a greater problem exists with

millions of women dependent on legal prescription drugs. "

Robert Mendelsohn, M.D (author of book, " Confessions of a Medical

Heretic.)

 

" Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take

that which would make a well man sick. "

L.F. Kebler, M.D.

 

" Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature's

protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the

pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be

reckoned with later on even though it palliates present

symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse

condition, though unconscious of it at the time. "

Daniel. H. Kress, M.D.

 

" The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines,

is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and

injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug

system will be abandoned. "

Charles Armbruster, M. D.

 

 

Conclusion

So there you have it, why oils heal and drugs don't. Let's hope Dr.

Armbruster is right, that " the time is not far distant when the drug

system will be abandoned. " Pharmaceutical companies and their

physician drug dealers could market and sell natural products with

genuine healing capabilities, but most won't. There isn't any money

in it. In my opinion, changing the medical system toward more

natural and spiritual forms of healing is impossible. The system

can't change. It must be replaced. Those of you who have opted out

of the system in favor of essential oils and their physical, mental,

emotional and spiritual benefits are among the pioneers who are

replacing the system.

And for those of you who have taken prescriptions drugs over long

periods of time, essential oils are your best friend because they

can cleanse the residues of these drugs from your system once and

for all and help restore your body back to its natural healthy state.

 

All the best to everyone,
