What Causes Problems With Thyroid

Did you know the water you drink and the toothpaste you use could be destroying your thyroid?

Our tap water and most toothpaste (along with many other things we use) contain Chlorine, Fluoride, Bromine and Iodine. Each of these are all part of the same chemical “family” – Halogens. Because they are in the same “family” and “look-alike” on a molecular level, the body can’t quite tell them apart. Unfortunately, Iodine is the only necessary element you need for thyroid hormone production.

Because the body can’t distinguish between Iodine and the other three (which poison the thyroid) it grabs onto all of them, thinking they are Iodine. Then it holds a “family” reunion and pulls them into the thyroid gland, weakening and destroying the gland. Fluoride, Chlorine and Bromide are consumed in large quantities every day from toothpaste, drinking and shower water, pool water and hot tubs.

Solutions for Thyroid Problems:

Get tested with Nutrition Response Testing for Iodine deficiency or thyroid support.
Buy a reverse osmosis water filtration system or something comparable
Use non-fluoridated toothpaste.
Do not receive fluoride treatments from your dentist.
Purchase a good shower & tap water filter (we recommend Wright Way).
Eat Celtic Sea Salt & Flax Seed Oil.
Eat a sufficient amount of protein.
May need Vitamin D or minerals
Food intolerances or allergies may greatly contribute, especially gluten
Chemicals such as above and others like Round-Up/pesticides
You may have Hashimoto’s or Grave’s disease, which necessitates a different approach

Do you think you have undiagnosed thyroid issues? Have you had your thyroid check and all the tests come back normal? You are not alone. This happens more than one might consider and for the basic reason that the right series of blood work is not requested or there are other issues that are affecting the Thyroid even if thyroid hormones are at normal levels. In either case, if you are experiencing many thyroid symptoms and are suspicious that you have been misdiagnosed, we can help.
