Understanding Your Underactive Thyroid

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem my clients, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.

Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.

Dr. Jonathan Wright, a pioneer in natural medicine, recommends that women take about 6 mg of iodine per day, and men about 3 mg per day to protect their thyroid and breast health.

Another principal cause of hypothyroidism is related to elevated reverse T3 levels, which can become elevated in response to heavy metal toxicity. In such cases, successful treatment must include detoxification.

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can be successfully and quickly reversed with a treatment protocol using Lugol’s iodine and lithium.
