Re: Hypothyroidism and cleansing, anybody??

Alare,

If the billiary tree of the liver is plugged significantly, over time, it will no longer perform some of it's functions well. More specifically, the liver is important in converting the T-4 Thyroid hormone into T-3, which is the physiologically active hormone needed for regulation of metabolism and other functions. Conversion of 4 to 3 does not just take place in the liver, but a lot of it does. I have read reports that as much as 80% occurs in the liver.

After numerous flushes, I found I no longer needed the Thyroid med's I had been taking for 15 years. It happened rather quickly. Over about a one month period, in which I had completed 3 flushes, I went from my normal Thyroid dose to none. I reduced the dose because of the typical reaction one has to excessive Thyroid hormone supplementation (rapid heart beat, flushing, anxiety feelings, etc.). When I reduced the Thyroid, the symptoms went away. The next flush brought some on again, and I reduced the supplementation again and got relief. So, within a month, no more supplements and no negative symptoms. All is completely normal.

Hope this helps,
