Adrenal /Pituitary / Thyroid / AxisTRH = Thyroid releasing Hormone(Hypothalamus senses T4)

TSH = Thyroid Stimulating Hormone(Pituitary)

StressHypothalamus = corticotrophin-releasing hormone = pituitary = adrenal = Cortisol = TSH

The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)

•Iodine is necessary for the production of T3 and T4

•ratio of T4 to T3 is roughly 20 to 1

• T4 is converted to the active T3 (three to four times more potent than T4) within the Liver, Intestines, Kidneys, Lungs

•dietary selenium is essential for T3 production.

Lab Testing:•TSH•Total T4•T3 uptake (measured unsaturated binding sites for thyroid transport proteins … Estrogen binds to this)•T7 (FTI , Free Thyroxin Index)•Total T3 (Decreased in Hypothyroidism, high bp meds, acute illness, starvation, steroids, anything that affects Thyroid Binding Globulin)

[LOW T3 Syndrome]

Lab Tests and Missed Things That Affect Them

Thyroid

T4 99.9% is bound to TBG (Thyroxine Binding Globuline)T3 99.5% Is Bound to TBGsalicylates decrease the binding (aspirin therapy contributes to Hypothyroid)Estrogens bind to TBG

•Nutrient Deficiencies, Heavy metal exposure, Adrenal Stress, enzyme deficiencies, chronic illness, Oxidized PUFA’s PUFA’s= canola oil, soy oil, vegetable oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil, ect…),Processed food additives

Adrenals:all derived from cholesterol•Mineralocorticoids•glucocorticoids •sex hormones

Adrenals

•Estrogens•Progesterone•Testosterone•fights cancer•produces interferon•vital for immune system

Adrenals the pharmacy of the body

No clinical findings until 90% of adrenal cortex is destroyed

Up to 90% of adrenal insufficiency - women ages 20-50

Cortisol = anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant •Alcohol•Drugs•Foods•Environmental•Stress

Progesterone= Protects you from cancer, infection, and autoimmune disorders.

Adrenals

Sex hormones(menopause in women), whole host of physical, emotional and psychological effects, from sex drive to weight gain

Cortisol Vital Short term vs Deadly Long term

Higher and more prolonged levels of circulating cortisol•Impaired cognitive performance•Dampened thyroid function•Blood sugar imbalances•Decreased bone density•Sleep disruption•Decreased muscle mass•Elevated blood pressure•Lowered immune function•Slow wound healing•Increased abdominal fat

Cortisol is a life sustaining adrenal hormone :

•Blood sugar levels•Fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism•Immune responses•Anti-inflammatory actions•Blood pressure•Heart and blood vessel tone•Central nervous system activation

Depression, lupus, migraine, menopause, diabetes, and aging ,MSAll have chronically increased production of cortisol

Raises Cortisol•Low Thyroid function•Inflammation•Stress•Tissue Damage•Vaccinations•Toxic foods Lowers Thyroid

•Estrogen•High Cortisol•Liver toxicity•Fluoride•Pesticides•Stress•Toxic foods•Medications•vaccinations

Lowers Cortisol•Healthy Thyroid •Vegetables•Healthy Water

IodineIodine is a key component of thyroid hormoneIodine deficiency linked to Breast Cancer

Iodine is Mimicked By:Chlorine, fluorine and bromine •halides like iodine, they compete for your iodine receptors. Bromine (40 years ago Iodine was replaced by Bromine):• Banned in UK 1990, Canada 1994• plastics, pesticides, hot tub treatments, fire retardants, some flours and bakery goods, and even some soft drinks

Fluoride as a Medical Intervention for Hyperthyroid

The use of fluoride as an anti-thyroid treatment beginning in the 1800s linking fluoride ingestion to goiter, a swelling of the thyroid gland resulting from a hypothyroid condition.

Up until the 1970s, scientists in Europe prescribed fluoride to reduce the basal metabolism rate in patients with an over-active thyroid gland

doses of just 2 to 3 milligrams of fluoride is sufficient to reduce thyroid activity in hyperthyroid patients. .

and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Gluten and food sensitivities and leaky gut can cause inflammation.

Gluten can cause autoimmune responses and is responsible for 30% of Hashimoto's thyroiditis

•food particles can then be absorbed into your bloodstream where your body misidentifies them as antigens

•The body then produces antibodies against them

These antigens are similar to molecules in your thyroid gland. So your body accidentally attacks your thyroid

• Hyperthyroid with bouts of Hypothyroid• from excess iodine or decreased selinium • Diagnosed by anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in blood• digestive system linked to • autoimmune diseases • lack of beneficial bacteria• diet high in refined foods • protein found in gluten looks very similar to our thyroid

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Grave’s Dis.Autoimmune Disease

•Grave’s = iodine supplements/ heal the liver•Vit D suppresses autoimmune system diseases•Liver Health Essential to excrete the extra T4•Selenium Supplements•Herbs:•Bugleweed – decreases TSH production•Motherwort – Decreases Palpitations and Tachycardia

2006 report Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards, the National

Research Council (NRC)"several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride on thyroid function.“

"fluoride exposure in humans is associated with elevated TSH concentrations, increased goiter prevalence, and altered T4 and T3 concentrations" with "similar effects on T4 and T3…reported in experimental animals." •NRC panel recommended "effects of fluoride on various aspects of endocrine function should be examined further, particularly with respect to a possible role in the development of several diseases or mental states in the United States“

Symptoms of Hypothyroid

• hot all the time• tired, especially in the

morning• unexplained change in weight• depressed or anxious• water retention• bug eyes• hair loss• difficulty swallowing• lump in your neck

Hyperthyroid

Cholesterol the vital building material for Hormones

____________________________________________________

Cholesterol > pregnenolone > 17 hydroxylation > progesterone > 17 hydroxyprogesterone > 11 deoxycortisol > Cortisol

Cholesterol > pregnenolone > 17 hydropregnenolone > DHEA > Androstenidione > Testosterone

Cholesterol-lowering diets and drugs--can be expected to disrupt the production of adrenal hormones and lead to:

Blood sugar problems Edema Mineral deficiencies Chronic inflammation Difficulty in healing Allergies Asthma Reduced libido Infertility Various reproductive problems

Problems with low Cholesterol adrenal glands

hyperoxidation, the formation of free radicals, is one of the basic damaging processes in the body

damage tissues at the cellular level and at the tissue level

Antidote to Adrenaline and Cortisol Vitamin B-3 Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta carotene selenium and others protect the body against the effect of the free radicals by

removing them more rapidly from the body.

Stress HormonesCatecholamine's Adrenaline, Cortisol

Approximately 90% of the mercury, heavy metals and toxins contained in our bodies gets

eliminated through stools

Chlorella , Spirulina are algae that has very high levels of chlorophyllBentonite Clay Absorbs Toxins (don’t take with suppliments)

juicing removes the indigestible fiber, so nutrients are available to the body in much larger quantities than if the piece of fruit or vegetable was eaten whole.

when you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate about 1% of the available beta carotene. When a carrot is juiced, removing the fiber, nearly 100% of the beta carotene can be assimilated.

ENZYMESAll enzymes are proteins,

but not all proteins are enzymes.

each chemical reaction in an body requires

its own specific enzyme.

enzymes can be called an ORGANIC CATALYSTand are never changed by their reactions!

.

Enzyme helpers = COENZYMES or VITAMINS

enzymes are named for what they work on

enzyme names always end in -ASELipase = for fatLactase = for milk sugars Peptidase, Protease = for protein Amylase = Starches

*Patients with Reflux avoid Protease till Gut is Healed about 30 days

thyroid and adrenals link and infertility stress causes 1.the hypothalamus (the corticotrophin-releasing hormone) to the pituitary for the adrenals to increase cortisol

2.the cortisol can then inhibit TSH as well as block the conversion from T4 to T3, causing symptoms of low thyroid

3.women decreased progesterone levels due to adrenal fatigue

4.precursor to progesterone, DHEA (dehydioepiandrosterone)

5.DHEA is used to metabolize cholesterol to make estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone

6.poor adrenal function can directly affect the reproductive system.
