ramblings-Thyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike & Jan- I look forward to finding out more.

 

This is my personal discovery, not something I like to share with others as I'm

not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. I would never want to recommend something

and then have that cause harm to another. But perhaps this is something you can

take with you as you consult with your physician.

 

My discovering has been the following: Coleus forskohlii is said to be helpful,

and is a member of the mint/lavender family...and hence I use a lot of mint and

lavender throughout my day. It's not exactly the same, but it's what I can grow

on my own and something I enjoy-so it's healing in a myriad of ways for me. When

I was in Hawaii undergoing cancer treatment, the following was shared with me (I

had a thought to be an underactive thyroid). It was one of those things in which

sometimes T4 levels were fine and other times not-granted I too had cancer and

my dog had battled with a thyroid condition as well -LOL.) Isn't it interesting

that the thyroid is butterfly-shaped.

 

The treatment center worked with me from a holistic approach, and I am forever

thankful for their healing garden and treatment. The following was shared with

me for hypothyroidism.

 

" Coconut and coconut oil can help regulate the functioning of the thyroid.

 

Kelp can help! This wonderful sea vegetable is dense and nutrients and is known

to be a great blood purifier which also promotes pituitary, adrenal and thyroid

health. It naturally contains iodine which can help fight the thyroid disorders

including lymph system sluggishness and overweight.

 

Turkey, a low-fat protein food that is also low in calories, is also rich in

selenium which has been shown to inhibit cancer growth as well as boost the

immune system and aid in the metabolism of thyroid hormone.

 

Some foods can suppress the functioning of the thyroid gland and anyone that has

a thyroid problem might want to consider avoiding these foods called goitrogens.

This includes cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli, mustard, kale, cabbage,

turnups, soy, peanuts and canola oil.

 

In order for your thyroid to function properly one needs copper and iron foods

which many diets are deficient in. You can get more copper in your diet by

eating more oysters, organ meats, cashews, sunflower seeds, clams, crabs, whole

wheat products and cocoa. To boost your iron intake eat more leafy green

vegetables, shellfish, red meat, poultry and beans. Your body needs vitamin C to

help absorb iron so you'll also want to eat more foods high in vitamin C such as

citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, bell peppers and potatoes to help your body

absorb more of the iron. Other: rosemary, rose hips, primrose oil "

 

For what it may be worth to you to take along to you next consultation.

 

Love:

~Danielle

Thanks Danielle and Sarkis,

I will take your thoughts with me into my meditations as well as to my doctor.

the dietary things you suggest have been things I've been doing anyway except

for the coconut oil. I've heard this is great to use but never have. The

coleus forskohlii is new to me. I have an ayurvedic guy I occasionally consult

with who I'll ask about this. Thanks to both of you.

Love,

Jan
